-Break-Location: Gorias Castle; training grounds.Φ Charging forth with their weapons in hand, a group of beastkin charge at Setanta, who is holding a wooden stick.They swing at him with their weapons but Setanta easily dodges the lot of them, and as he does he whacks them in certain parts of their bodies while saying, "Peadar Your footing is off, and Colmán don't telegraph your attacks so much, Manus always keep your eyes on the enemy."He then jumps out of the group and whacks them all on the head, and he says, "You aren't humans, aim to split up into small groups when attacking your enemy so you can make better use of your beast traits, don't just rely on the physical strength increase."Sighing, Setanta says, "New recruits are such a pain to train."Feeling something from behind, Setanta puts up his stick to block a sharp axe, and then turning his head he says, "A chameleon beastkin, using your invisibility eh? I like that!"Setanta hits the chameleon in the leg with his stick,

"Your father died doing what he wanted to do most in life, protect you. There is no such thing as an empire that's infallible, and your father knew this. He wanted to strengthen the power of the empire so you would never have to live in the fear or torment of the Fir Bolg.He spent his life trying to make this place just a little bit safer for all of us, he stepped on a hellish battlefield, and even on that battlefield, he never lost his heart and still went out of the way to protect the young. Your father was a true man."Siobhán says, "My father was brave until the end."Touching her shoulder, I say, "He was a man worthy of all the love he has ever been given."She cries and holds Áine, who struggles to keep herself together, and soon some of the maids come, and say, "Please let us help you."They guide the both of them out of the way, and I crouch down with my face pointed towards the ground. Then I say, "Nothing I said was false, but did I truly lead him towards a death that actua

-Break-The eleventh battle of this campaign was the sixth battle of the Faoláins and was called the Battle of the Shattering Storm.Location: Castle of PionekΦ From the four walls the human soldiers within the castle repel the beastkin with great results.Through the walls, they have placed a slippery substance to inhibit the beastkin climbing abilities, and they have huge metal gates stopping anyone from breaking through.Finally, they rain fire down on all of the beastkin from above, with arrows set on fire. Their attacks are fierce and nonstop which stops even the strongest of beastkin from making any progress.Looking into the distance the human general says, "My brave soldiers we are strong and unbreakable, and that is because right now every man, woman and child is working as one to fight back against our enemies.They have been able to make no progress and soon our allies will come and strike them down! Trust in your allies, and trust in each other, because together we will n

"Do you know what you are doing?""Getting rid of some annoying little pests who are trying to get in my way."Laeg said, "We happen to be members of the house of Faoláin so an attack against us won't be taken lightly!"In a very dismissive tone, he says, "What does that matter to me? I also happen to be a part of the Laoch family, actually, I am the next head Niall Ó Laoch."Ferdiad then mutters, "You mean the strongest warrior of our generation?" As Ferdiad says this I notice he does seem to be around our age, but maybe one or three years older than I am.Picking his nose, he says, "I guess people started calling me that, but it is not like it means anything when I am surrounded by weaklings."I prepare to say something to him, but then Ferdiad says, "Laeg Ní Fergal I need you to calm down and think about all your actions from now on through carefully?"The boy stops then makes a confused look on his face, and says, "Wait aren't you Laeg Ní Fergal?"Ferdiad turns to me, and I say, "

-Three weeks later-Location: Gorias CastleΦ Looking into a mirror, I look at the bruise on my face and say, "It really is bad isn't it, I swear his fist nearly reconstructed my skull."The maid Innéacs says, "In all honesty, I don't really see a change in the first place.""Really!?" I ask turning my head to face her."Of course, not even a fist could break down that rather bizarre face you have.""LÚIDÍN SHE INSULTED ME AGAIN!""You have grown so much in just over half a year, you can even pick up on my insults.""SHE ADMITTED TO IT!"Lúidín walking up to Innéacs flicks her on the forehead, then says, "That was her trying to cheer you up in her own special way."Looking down, I say, "So it is apparent enough for even that cold bitch to try and cheer me up."Lúidín kneels to my eye level and makes me face her, then she says, "Don't be ashamed for a single moment. You and your brother have gone on to some of the fiercest battlefields and have succeeded.Few men would even have the co

Location: Gorias cityStanding outside the blacksmiths, I walk in and say, "Culainn, I have come to return the chains!"I look around the store and notice no one is inside, and then moments later riding on his little wonderbeast, Culainn comes out and says, "Is that you Setanta?""Yes, it is, and you won't believe what I have to tell you. You see Ferdiad-,""So you got angry and broke the chains by accident.""Let me finish!"Riding his little cuboid-shaped wonderbeast he rams into me, and says, "Don't raise your voice to me!"His blows causes all of the chains I am holding to tumble and fall down on top of me. "That hurt old man!""I hope it did! I explicitly told Ferdiad not the break them!"Looking him straight in the eye, I say, "Well technically Ferdiad didn't break them, I did. So everything is ok right?""Don't try and back out of this you brat."Lowering my head, I say, "I am sorry about this.""You're a good enough man to apologise to me, but a good man also knows that an apo

-Break-Location: Eastern side of the Gorias castleLooking at all my set-up flowers, I say, "The way the moon hits these makes them look just as beautiful as you."I grip my fist, and say, "YEAH THAT WILL WORK, I WILL KNOCK MINAGRAIN OFF HER FEET!""What a lucky lady!"Turning my head, I say, "Hey human. shut up, my woman is coming over!""Ahh, little kids with their little love."I dash over to where he is and kick his cage down, then I say, "I don't want a slave calling me a little kid.""But aren't you one?""For another year. My birthday was recently, so after I get through my corrupted year of 13, to my reborn year of 14 I will be an adult.""Why do you beastkin have a weird thing about 13, I have always wondered but no one will tell me.""Because almost all of the bad events in our history just so happen to fall on that day. So, it is said that a beastkin will experience the most misfortune of their existence during their thirteenth year."Petting my head, he says, "I hope you

Location: Rooftop of Gorias castleΦ With Minagrain in my hand, I guide her throughout the rooftop while saying, "Sorry about this, I just didn't want some pests to catch wind of our activities."She shakes her head and follows me.Soon we reach the tallest point of the castle and look down. It is a windy night so all of the strings that are attached to Gorias castle play music as we stare at the moon.Holding Minagrain at my side, I stare up at the moon.But as I do, she nudges me a little, and I ask, "Do you want to kiss more?"She shakes her head from left to right, then up and down, then left and right again.Then she gestures, "Are you Ok?""Of course, I am."She then gestures, "You have looked like you have been worried about something in the back of your mind since we met.""Minagrain, nothing like that is happening to me.""Setanta, don't you want me to be your wife? If so please tell me what is bothering you?""Minagrain, I don't want to talk about this thing in front of you.

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

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
