-Break-Φ As the Lúcogadh's cavalry race through the mountain range, Téad remembers a conversation from the night before.To my men, I say, "And that will be the path we will take to reach the outside, any problems?"None of my men raise any disputes but then I hear, "Please go rest Ferdiad."Moving my head, I see Ferdiad fighting against my men trying to reach me, so I head over to him and say, "What are you doing moving about?"Grabbing me, Ferdiad says, "I have a favour to ask.""What?""Please let us return for Ibar.""No that is stupid, at this point, he is all but assured to be dead.""I don't think he would be. The enemies I fought seemed hesitant to kill me because I was a child, if they caught Ibar I am sure they would restrain him.""Regardless of that, those foes you fought were exceptionally strong, even if all of us here teamed up against them, winning would still be an uphill battle.""I know but we can't just leave him.""Yes, we can. This is war when one man is down we

Turning to the humans, I say, "Please you need to calm down the situation is too dangerous."But in response to this, they look at me with fright and move away. Then one of them screams, "Monster!"Ferdiad noticing this situation says, "Do you see this humans your famous black warriors are all beastkin! That's the reason they have let so many of you die today because they are simply trying to use your bodies as shields so they can escape and be heroes.They ask for your trust just so they can stab you in the back for their own benefit, these soldiers betrayed all of Louernia due to their own greed, and now they plan to do the same to you.""IT ISN'T TRUE!" I shout in response to the accusations, but my voice is completely destroyed by the sound of the panicked humans who now have lost all those they can trust.Throughout the battlefield I see the humans are now running erratically, attacking everyone, or just crawling into balls on the ground. All of this behaviour makes it far harder

Setanta immediately throws his spear directly at Aoife which causes her to back away, and then moments later he arrives their saying, "Did you miss me?"Smiling I say, "No, I felt peaceful for the first time in a while."Setanta kicking me in the gut says, "No time for that, peace is for the dead the living must struggle on."Φ Turning to face the traitorous beastkin, I say, "Now have you bastards said your last goodbyes."The woman who was just fighting Ferdiad says, "Son of Lugh, now that you're here I hope that you will listen to me and get all of your little friends here to surrender.""Not a chance, unlike you traitors scum we don't want to spit on our people's graves."Sighing, she says, "Why do you struggle to understand the fact that humans are worth protecting."I giggle a bit and say, "Because humans are cowards who merely run and hide from the world. They once ruled the world, no even more than that they have all but tamed it, but their behaviour which is far more brutish t

Φ As Ferdiad and Setanta fight, I slowly start to get the horses that were blown away by Aoife's attack back up and as I do my sister comes up and says, "We need to hurry up and get out of here this instant."Looking at her I see she looks worn out as if she has been doing a physically strenuous activity. She also has heavy eye bags showing a lack of sleep, so I ask, "Laeg are you alright."Not even stopping to look at me, she says, "Ibar right now we need to get everyone out of here because if for a moment I start worrying about your wellbeing I won't be able to focus."Getting back to work, I say, "Then let's get through it quickly."Φ As we work I take glimpses at Ibar's body, and every time I notice a bruise or injury I can feel my heart almost stop. Don't focus on it, because if you do you won't be able to keep going.Setanta, Ferdiad please finish up and return quickly.Φ Behind me, I hear Ferdiad use sonic thrust right into a giant boulder, and turning I start to deflect the pi

I try to move but as I do the dagger within my body causes an extreme surge of pain to flow within my body, so I just shout, "MOVE!"The sword continues towards Laeg, but then Craig gets in the way and the sword hits him right in the throat.Seeing this I manage to rip the dagger out and head towards my sister. As I hold her, I look at Craig and ask, "Why did you do that?""I simply pity you. You're young and you don't understand what you're doing, so I simply wish to reduce the strife you would feel when you finally understand the meaning of your and others' lives, like your sister has."His face soon goes lifeless, and other enemies, ignoring his sacrifice head straight towards us with the intent to kill us."Laeg we got to move."My sister tries to move but as she does the panic she is facing intensifies and we are in the same position. Then she mutters, "They were alive, they had blood, a pulse, and families."Seeing as she can't bring herself to move I get up, and with the wound

Φ Seeing Setanta as he lets out a roar of victory, I am utterly stunned. That last strike of his was beautiful, it was far beyond anything I could have ever imagined myself doing.Turning around Setanta faces me and as he does I see a giant chasm appear in between us, something so large and wide that I feel like I couldn't ever reach the other side even if I had wings to fly with.Setanta then quickly moves across the battlefield, and one after another he kills the enemies in who almost destroyed us with a single blow to their necks each.His speed, power, and dexterity have risen to new heights, that even surpass the wall of strength was Aoife. Not only this but he also has the traits of a behemoth wonderbeast in his blood, Setanta is truly a miracle to our people.Not someone I can ever reach.Φ Lunging forward to Ferdiad, I say, "You need a hand princess."Getting up on his own, Ferdiad says, "Don't get cocky you dumb doggy, just so you know I am the strongest."Ferdiad's leg buckl

The man who says these words has one of their holy amulets right next to his next, he is a follower of the church of the messiah.Walking forward he says, "I will do no such thing."Ronald dashes forward and grabs the man by his collar then he says, "So you that's what you choose, fine by me. I think a living example will get my point across."Ronald truly is far more cruel when handling humans. Well what do I expect from a man who enjoys a hunt, making sure you get to play with your prey is a must.While still in Ronald's arms, he says, "Please don't do this.""Too late to beg for your life now.""I am not begging for mine but for yours."Surprised by these words, Ronald says, "What?""Right now you members of the empire of Louernia are riding a path straight to hell. If you all continue your indiscriminate slaughter and suppression of others it will one day lead to your doom."Pulling him closer Ronald says, "Those are very charged words, you talk as if you know more about our empir

Φ As all of the humans open their eyes including myself, I sigh and say, "What did I even expect of those humans." On the left side is an overwhelming amount of people, so many that it makes me feel quite sick at the sight of it.Hanging off my tree, I say, "Words aren't enough to move the human heart it seems."Φ In front of me lies about 20 people from the 75000 of us. About 12 of them hold the holy cross, but it is not even a hundredth of the total congregation among all of us, the rest lie on the other side.But what truly breaks my heart is that of the 20 people, it includes a family with children who followed my words to the right side.I feel sick like I am about to throw up. All these people across from me choose their own safety even though we all could escape, they choose to spit on all of the sacrifices made today, and at the end of it all not even half of them will be allowed to go with the beastkin.I want to scream at them, I want to kill them, I want to fall to my knee

Standing up Scáthach looks to everyone around them, and bows her head saying, "Sorry for the disturbance it won't happen again."Using her shadows Scáthach places Minabród back on her chair and says, "Minabród your human blood is not to blame you are. You failed Ferdiad."Minabród lowers her head and barely holds back tears from coming out of her eyes."But so did I as his master, Setanta as his friend, Minagrain as his sister, and Lugh as his king. We have all failed that child in certain ways, and we will never be able to take back the hurt that has caused him, but you must simply find peace in that.""Why! Why should I find peace in that? I couldn't help him, I couldn't protect him, all I could do was hurt him like a disease, and if it wasn't due to my blood, and just due to me. Then I don't deserve to keep breathing.""Minabród kids are scary, raising a child is scary. You have to teach another person how to survive be alive and navigate the world.I have lived three times your li

-Break-Φ In all of Gorias providence, there isn't a single native or visitor who isn't current in one place.Throughout the city, Druids have gathered together. Many of them wear the crest of the Faoláins, but far more are wearing the crests of each house of the Red branch, including the royal house itself.And under the instruction of Fráech and Findabair, they all say, "Beast blood battle arts; Fás."Which is quickly followed by, "Beast blood battle arts; Bog."Soon a series of giant plants set throughout Gorias grow and, the most important of them which are located near Gorias castle move into shape where they form three large platforms made of plants which are placed on top of each other from biggest to smallest.The bottom and biggest of these three platforms takes up a large portion of the castle of Gorias city, with the other two being smaller, but also extremely large as well.The druid using Bog continues to move and mould the platforms until a staircase is made leading from

In his hands is a basket, but I soon skip over it as seeing Lugh all dressed up does many things to both my mind and my body,His beautiful face is both mature and effeminate, but the aura of his body and his wounds give the impression of a hardened warrior. His muscles which show in his clothes, enrapture my eyes and never let them go.The heavenly smell of his silver hair crushes my nose, and his heavy voice which ties it all together slays my ears. Right now, he is more seductive than any man of the night, and should be locked up for indecency.Covering my eyes, I scream, "THANK YOU!"Aimee then gets up to Lugh's face, and says, "My king, it isn't good for you to see her right now. You should wait until the ceremony so you can be surprized by her looks.""I wouldn't be surprised anyway. Péatra is a beautiful woman, it isn't like she could get prettier if she tried."I let out a gross laugh in response to this, and start to drool. The maids quickly catch my drool as it falls off my

Moving to her, I knock her on the head, and say, "A murder, really?"I turn my head to the boy in the ground and lift him up from the hole.I also see he is tied with rope, so I start to untie him whilst saying, "This is why you don't hang around crazy women like her.""I am not crazy; he is a cheater!"I turn my head to Uathach and say, "I know you're lonely but don't go making up lies about men being in a relationship with you, it is slander."She jumps on my back and starts to bite me, so I say, "Let go of me." While trying to break her grip.However, to my surprise, she is so strong that I can't get her to let go of me. "Spirit energy?""Of course! NOW TAKE MY FURY WOLFIE!"She continues to tighten her body around me choking me out, and as she does this the boy who I was untying gets up and stares at me.Looking at him, I say, "HELP!"But the boy turns and runs away from me, without even acknowledging my situation. So, I just lie there whilst getting choked.In all honesty, gettin

My father moves towards his chair, and standing against it, he says, "For clarity, explain to me again why I should care about those humans?""Because we Tuatha Dé Dannan are not barbarians. You know as well as I do that the growing love, and justification for violence without any benefit is happening everywhere.If everyone's first reaction to anything they don't like is to kill everyone in front of them, it will only negatively impact us as a society going forward. Death has a purpose, and boosting our egos isn't a purpose."My father sighs, then moves towards his chair and grabs a bottle of alcohol, then says, "Hey Setanta, do you know what this is?""Alcohol.""I hate this stuff. It is a substance that makes people stupider, and wilder than they were before. Order is necessary for survive, yet this is something that makes order harder to put in place, not to mention all of the health issues it causes.At one point it became a problem in the providence that couldn't be ignored anym

-Break-Walking with the flour thief beside me in the hallway, I ignore her cries and hum to myself, but then she cries even louder while pushing the bump on her head into me.So, I start to hum much more cheerfully than before while keeping the same tone, but she continues to push into me, so I put her in a headlock and use my knuckle to aggravate her bump which causes her to say, "OWOWOWOW!"She then bites me in the arm, and I say, "You gluttony."I start to pull her hair, but she locks her legs with mine and continues to chow down on my arm, and our fight continues until we both lose energy, and I say, "You're a beast.""And you're delicious," she says licking her lips."I think I might bring forward that execution.""Try me, I will defeat you before you have the chance.""You think you can beat me?""I think I can eat you."We both get up and press our heads against each other, and I say, "You're both a glutton and a liar.""If everyone believes a lie it becomes the truth.""Nu-uh

Φ As I play, I look down at the people below me and laugh to myself. Look at me and be entranced by my playing you fools. Your eyes, your mind, and even your eyes and hearts are forever transfixed onto my playing.Now you beasts, become enraptured by my every movement. You lot get your kicks by insulting me calling me brash and stupid, but is this brash and stupid? Is my playing not the equivalent of the euphoria of sex dripped into your ears!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Soon, I finish and when I do I stand up to bow, then I say, "From the house of Faoláins, we all welcome you here to enjoy your time as members of the Red branch, and as the next king of Gorias I will be here to help you with any problems."I get off the stage and look around at all of the people who are tilting their way towards me. I told them to come talk to me if they had an issue, but it seems like they want to try and get me to talk to their kids or remember their names. What a bother.But soon my annoyance

Φ As Dagda laughs in front of me, I say, "So if you would excuse me."With his same cherry smile as always, he says, "Haha, your jokes are as tasteful as your clothes. Now Medb where is my money?""Money? You mean the financial instrument we have assigned value to for the sake of switching things we have made into items we have collected from our environment and from others through labour, intelligence and ingenuity?"With his smile fading a bit, he says, "Hahaha, yes. Now where is it?""Dagda what really is value? Is it something kings assign value to-,""Yes."Putting my finger on his lips, I say, "OR! Is it the exchange of wills from one person to another, so isn't my mere smile payment enough?""Not a chance, now my money."I get thrown off my balance as he rejects me, and then I lean on him and say, "We have known each other for a long time, and you still don't trust me.""I trusted you decades ago when I invested in your research hoping for a return. But every time you make a re
Arc 10.130: The final celebration part 2
Location: City of GoriasΦ For six days a festival has been raging on within the city of Gorias, and the entire providence of Gorias.The beastkin during the festivals made it a point to dress in clothes far more ornate than usual; wearing flowers throughout their bodies, or dressing in clothes made entirely out of plants.Clothes made out of animals had the motif of using materials from animals their innate beast was hunted or were hunted by as a sign of greater connection.The druids made clothes out of plants that could be modified with their beast blood battle, allowing them to change their designs of the clothes, and throughout the city, designated druids were given instructions to change the clothes of those who passed by.Many wore jewellery such as brooches, pins, armlets, rings, and torcs against the animal parts of their bodies as a way to honour their heritage, while many others decorated their bodies with paint or tattoos which represent ancient stories or those who they c
