Hey Cole, do you know any songs other than the heroes.”“Yes, I do, but why do you ask Orb,” Cole says in the saviour’s song.“It’s just that I don’t want the guards listening in on our conversation, because I don’t know what information we say, will set the people here off,” I reply in the saviour’s song.“I see, but it could also raise their suspicion if they can’t understand us. There is nothing scarier than the unknown.”“I get your point, but with how they treat us, I doubt they could get any more suspicious of us.”“That is true.”“So now, since we can talk without worry Cole tell me about yourself.”“It is rude to ask for information before presenting your own first.”He is starting to annoy me with this whole moral’s thing, but if this is what it takes to make friends, so be it “Ok, then ask me anything.”“Well, first, why did your hair just turn red a second ago.”“My hair changes colours according to my emotions.”“So, what does red mean.”“It means I am Relaxed.”“Why did y

Φ Arising from my bed, I feel an intense presence right next two me, so out of complete instinct, I go to attack it, but as he is about to make contact, I see the presence is Orb.“Orb, what are you doing here,” I say, shocked“You told me, we start my training today, so I wanted it to begin the moment you awoke.”There is raw determination in those eyes. He must be excited to become one of us. So full of drive. I say, “Sorry to keep you waiting, Orb. Let’s us go and begin your Training.”Φ Since yesterday I haven’t been able to get the taste out of my mind. How did I go my entire life without this? The fact that people eat this every day has filled me with nothing but jealousy, but now I will be able to learn how to hunt animals whenever I need to.-Break-As Sequoia and I walk to the hunting grounds, I look around the town and take note of a few things first; everyone gets up early in this village. Even sitting beside the chief’s bed, I heard people working away outside. I also hear

Today has been unnecessarily difficult: Physical exercise, all the learning, and even almost dying. It was just too much for me today, but at least when I went to dinner, I saw Buloke with both his cheeks swollen, but still he got off too easy for almost killing me. I still can’t punish him for hurting me, but at least I can reward Willow. I should see what I can do for him, but that is tomorrow’s Orbs problem. Right now, I am going to sleep.So, as I am about to get into bed, something drops down from the roof and lands on my back. As I am about to say something, a hand appears over my mouth, and I hear, “Quite down, or I will snap your neck.”Following my instructions, I quieted down, but the voice I heard was oh so familiar to me. I heard it every time I approached Sequoia house, It was Maples.Soon after this, Maple gets off me, and I quietly ask her, “How did you get down from up there.”“They needed to take me down so I could do some things.”“I see you needed to relieve yoursel

Φ As I feel the warm comfort of a bed, I realise what happened. I don’t want to get up because if I do, I have to face the fact that I failed again, even after everything I said to Orb. How many failures does this even make? Mother and father, I am sorry for letting all you’ve done for me go to waste. I genuinely am pathetic.As my despairing thoughts continue, tears fall from my eyes, and soon after that, I hear, “Doctor, he’s crying.”That Voice was Orbs, so I quickly opened my eyes to look around the room, and saw the doctor coming toward me with Orb not far behind.After the doctor gives me one last look, he says I should rest for a few days. Then it’s just me and Orb left in the room as the doctor went to handle other business. Orb has a worried look and says, “Willow, I.”“Sorry Orb, this is sort of embarrassing after everything I said to you earlier,” I say quickly, stopping Orb’s Sentence. “I guess this was a bad day. I still have next time; I won’t give up.”“Willow.”“Don’t

-Break-Φ I have been in this cell for almost six months. The only contact with people I have had is the guards who bring me my food, and the doctor who comes to treat and check on the progress of my frostbite. Still, I do not know why I am still here. If I were an issue, I would be executed if I weren’t, I would be let go, but I was much more likely to be completed.My reasons being, that these people were highly hostile towards outsiders when we first came, they immediately tried to dispose of Orb and me, and if you add in that most of them look at me as if I am some monster, as well as their primitive clothing I can only guess they are an isolationist village that doesn’t let people come in.But how long have they been like this, people have been adventuring the bottom half of Fimbulwinter for centuries, and there have never been any reports of civilisation here, and from the brief look I had around the village, they seem well adapted? They must have been living here for quite some
Legacies of light Arc 2.07
It has been eight months since I joined the village; to put it simply, it has been fun. At first, all I did was wake up, train, eat, and then sleep, but over time I was able to make a friend: Willow. Through our mutual love of animals and knowledge we were able to bond, and since we both became warriors, we have grown closer; it seems through all the time I spend with Willow and the other kids, all of the older villagers have been more friendly with me. It also seems Pine and Sequoia were putting in a good word for me.Being part of this big family has made me enjoy being here, even though some people would like me to die. Regardless, I have many people who care and want me to be around now. It makes me want to stay here forever, but I still need to leave. I can’t stay here forever, so I have two objectives to accomplish to do.The first, is to make it so I know the entrance and exit to the village. I still have to be knocked out whenever we go hunting. From being here for so long, I

-Break-Φ I still remember those days, when an epidemic ran through our village. It would make the infected suffer in extreme agony, while their brain started to swell. It was a slow, painful death as they lost control over their bodily functions. Every single day people were dropping like flies, the population of the village halved. Brothers lost their sisters, wife’s lost their husbands, and I lost my parents.Eventually, it was decided to put all the sick to death to stop the infection and end their suffering, but I opposed it with all my might. Even as a kid, I stood in opposition to everyone, saying there still might be a way to save everyone. I keep saying that we can’t just dispose of all these lives like this; it was just a pipe dream. I knew there was no way to save all those people, yet I kept opposing the decision to buy time, because I didn’t want the last words my parents would say to me to be: it hurts Buloke.It was a selfish desire that gave false hope to people who we

“So, anything to say.”“You talk too much.”“Talking is the greatest form of communication, so thank you.”After a moment of silence, I ask Orb, “Why are you trying to help Cole.”“So, you’re finally using his name.”“Just answer me.”“I simply think leaving him to die is just too sad, so I won’t let it happen, simple as that.”“You’re a strange one.”“Thanks for the compliment. You are just layering on the praise.”“I am not praising you, moron. It seems you need to learn what a compliment is.”“Now you’re trying to insult me to keep up that bad attitude. I am like a virus; even if you don’t want me in your system, I find a way to get in.”After a moment of silence, Orb says, “Sorry, I probably shouldn’t have said that.”“Why is that?”“Well, simply because of what happened to your parents.”“How the hell do you know about that!”“I have been spending lots of time with all the villagers, so of course the epidemic would come up.”“You have spent your time in our village well, you have

With a tight grip on my spear, I say, "Red branch battle arts; Star flower."Then I dash forward knocking as many of the enemy soldiers away as possible. I move from place to place striking down as many of them as I can and as I do this, I shout, "I won't let any of you die.""You need to leave Ferdiad!""No way, unless all of you come with me. You guys are my family, and none of you shall die here!"I continue to move faster and faster knocking back their enemies, but due to their armour, I cannot strike a killing blow on any of them.Yet he manages to push many of them back, and he says, "I will slay all of you.""You're far too arrogant for your skill level, and I will show you that now."One of the armoured beastkin gets in a stance that is all too familiar to me. Shocked, I say, "Red branch battle arts!""Clover."The beastkin then lunges forward and is about to hit me with clover, but as his spear comes towards me, Cruadhlaoich gets in the way, and the beastkin sword goes straig

Location: BasecampΦ As I stare down at Setanta's face, I say, "Please wake up."Suddenly he opens his eyes and says, "Laeg you scandalous harlot, I never thought you would try to steal a kiss as I sleep, well then here you go."He kisses me on the forehead, and says, "That should satiate your desires you beast."I prepare to hit him, but then relax and hug him saying, "I am so happy you're ok!"Rubbing the back of my head, he says, "Not even the god of the humans could rip me off this planet so young, never worry about such things.""But how did you even wake up, I was told you would be out for at least two days with your wounds."Setanta jumps all around and says, "I feel amazing so it seems you were off."Grabbing him, I say, "Don't move around your wounds could reope-.Wait they are all gone!"Examining his body, I say, "All of your wounds have healed with no scars.""You guys must have fed me well whilst I was sleeping.""We did, but isn't this a ridiculous amount of healing in su

With tears streaming down his face he continues to hit me whilst saying, "Why, why, why, why, why did you try and kill me son? I loved you, I have always been here for you why!?"Spitting out some teeth, I smile and say, "Two strangers I met today showed me more compassion than you could ever even muster. You're a failure of a man, you're a failure of a father, and I hate you with all my heart scum."Cambell hits me directly in the face again, then gets up and faces my mother who is holding my sister in her arms, and as they cower my father says, "It is your fault witch, you turned my son against me, a stupid whore like you and your insignificant daughter planned this against me."Cambell throws at punch at my mother, and I get in the way defending the both of them.

-Break-Those days continued, and as I expected father's abuse got worse with each passing day. He hurt them more and more while leaving visible scar after visible scar, and eventually, they reached a point where neither could leave the house.Minagrain spent every day crying and trying to force herself to speak but it was all to no avail. It just broke her heart more and more, so I hugged her and made her let it all out in my arms.It was horrible that she had to stay in that house all day, never letting anyone else see her. But for me, I was liberated, because now I could move around unfettered with anyone reporting my actions.With this new freedom, came an idea, one that would allow me to end all of this once and for all.Holding a dead fish in my arms, I walk in front of my Hewt's house and say, "Here you go."Expecting it he says, "This is a high-quality salmon, it is good to have you around Ferdiad.""Enough of that, just hand me my rewards."In my hands, I am handed some Red b

My mother removing his shoes asks, "How was your day?""Horrid, why do I have to work for my brother!"My mother says, "I know it's unfair, but even after your father unfairly gave everything to your brother, he still chose to keep you by his side."He starts at my mother and says, "Why did you phrase it as if he is doing me a favour."My mom looks down and says, "I didn't mean it like that, I am just sure that's how he views it."Running up towards my mother's side, I say, "They look down on you Dad, but you're the only reason everything here is capable of working. I know it must suck not getting the right reward for all your effort, but you're still the best."My dad puts his hand on my head and rubs it saying, "Of course you would understand, unlike the rest of the idiot here, you're my blood.""Hehe," I say gripping on my mother's skirt.Breaking my hand from my mother, he pulls me to the table in the centre of the room and says, "My son needs to eat if he wants to grow up strong.

Arc 10.71: A signal of destruction part 8
I run as fast as I can moving through the forest with great haste. This is too big, I think I might understand why Lugh saw it fit to bring so many allies with us to this battlefield.Humans who can comfortably move through an area filled with wonderbeasts are insane. Even if they cleared out this entire area beforehand, it is still an amazing feat.Not even us beastkin can overcome something like this without ridiculous amounts of planning. But what is most worrisome is that there were no human corpses anywhere around, so they didn't overcome this place by throwing massive amounts of soldiers into it, they have people with skill enough to do this themselves.As I enter the proximity of our campsite, I start to hear a scream, and say, "Oh no."Moving through the forest, I see that our camp is being assaulted by humans. Few are on their feet, and many of them are on their horses.The area around here is protected by trees but isn't dense with it allowing one to fight on horseback, and

Picking up a piece of wood, I hold it to my nose and sniff it."This smells of food."A soldier of the Faoláin house Liam says, "That little piece of wood."Another Faoláin soldier named Cian says, "Was it part of a box.""You're right. It was probably part of the fleeing humans' supplies, I want everyone to search the area for more, if we can find something with a strong scent we might be able to actually find the humans."Turing my head to Téad, I say, "I need the Lúcogadh to go ahead and see if Ronald has made contact with the humans."One of them says, "We don't take orders from you."But Téad puts his hand up and says, "We will be back in no time."As they leave, I sigh and then say, "Now let's get to work."The beastkin spread out and eventually, one of them says, "Ferdiad over here!"As I arrive besid

He is body is quite battered to the point where I don't think he should be able to move.Ibar coming towards me asks, "Is Setanta ok?""I don't know, I have never seen him this injured before we need to get him bandaged up right now."Ibar looks confused for a moment, so I ask, "What's wrong?""Setanta was far more beaten up when I saw him after falling off the chariot, did his wounds heal.""Nonsense, beastkin need food to heal, and no beastkin could even heal that fast if they had all the food in the world."Laeg coming closer to us, says, "I brought some druids to help Setanta.""Thank you Laeg, now it is time to go and make sure this battlefield ends in our victory.""No your not!"

Ibar, Laeg move in the area around it."They follow my instructions, but Laeg says, "We have no knowledge on that wonderbeast, I don't think this is safe Setanta.""I agree, the Lúcogadh have beast-catching nets which we can use to make a better strategy to overcome this wonderbeast.""No, if we do that this achievement will be given to them, and the rights to the wonderbeast would be given to the Lúcogadh. But if we manage to take it down earlier not only will we gain all of the achievements for ourselves but be the heroes of this battle."Looking into the eyes of Ferdiad, I say, "This will be our biggest
