Legacies of light Arc 2.04
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

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

-Break-Φ As I am preparing to finish up my day, I receive a visitor, it was Orb. “Hey Sequoia, I know you are probably tired after everything that has happened recently, but would I be able to talk with you for a bit.”Orb is not one to bother people if it is not essential so I say, “No problem, let’s head inside my room first,” after we both head inside; he giddily sits down wherever he can.“Would you like anything to drink, Orb?”“No, I am fine and sorry about this.”“Don’t worry, it’s no problem. Now, what is the issue? Is it that you might want to extend the punishment period a bit more, since it ended today.”“No, having Buloke be my servant for the last two months was fine enough, and I made sure to embarrass him lots over that period, so I think it’s fine.”He made Buloke do everything for him, even at a point I started to feel bad, but it was a light punishment considering he tried to kill Orb. He would’ve had to go through something worse, if Orb hadn’t proposed this himsel

The blow that Maple received sent her flying, but she quickly got up and said, “The truth hurts, doesn’t it, Sequoia.”Sequoia yet again becomes visibly enraged by her words and is about to go for another punch, but a group of warriors, including Orb and Buloke, hold him down.As he is being held, Buloke says, “I know what Maple said was out of line, but doing this won’t get your point across at all, so please calm down, chief.”As the chief relaxes, he turns around and walks away, but as he tries to do this, Maple starts walking up to him and says, “Is that all you’ve got, you piece of trash.”The chief ignoring all her words walks away, but Maple continues to spew insults at him without stopping. “Garbage, filth, pig, idiot, MURDER!” But she eventually falls to the ground holding her bruised cheek, as some people try to go up and help her, she screams “, LEAVE ME ALONE!” And then she runs off with tears in her eyes, with Willow following her close being.“Cole, can you come with me

As the second human-beastkin war began, the humans attacked large plantations all across Terrafide, Victoria, and Molstoria, completely decimating the beastkin and pushing back their forces in Molstoria.On each battlefield they won they freed all human slaves there, and increased their army size.Word of their victories spread as beastkin ran from battlefield to other locations sending warnings of the oncoming invasions, which soon spread to the humans there causing massive uprisings even before Charles armies had arrived.However, after a series of uprisings, the Red branch armies mobilized and started to meet the humans. But to the shock of many, the armies of the Red branch were mostly defeated again, and again.Eventually, this led to an eight-month long war that the beastkin were losing, and in response to this, the leaders of the beastkin gathered in one place to discuss the events.Location: Ríchathaoir Dhanu; Home of the high king in the centre providence of TaraΦ Sitting ac

My skin tenses up with rage, but Péatra grabs my arms and says, "Right now if you cause a scene in front of everyone it will be a mess and a show of weakness to the people."Restraining myself, I look at Bricriu who says, "Cú Culainn the warrior whose name has been spread far and wide throughout the empire has committed a grave sin.He has aided human slaves in their escape from the empire, siding with the idea that they deserve to be treated as equals to us. He has betrayed both the empire and his blood.These slaves are now loose carrying critical information about our empire and will aid our enemies in upcoming battles. But do not worry as Ferdiad has bested Cú Culainn today, he has overcome the rapid warrior and now stands on top of the greatest talent in the empire!"Walking forward Ferdiad says, "Know this as long as I stand at the head of my generation. I will never allow tragedy to befall you all, I will fight tooth and nail till the east has fallen. So from today on I am Cú D

He brings me closer to him and tightens his restrictions which causes me to bleed, and then he says, "Don't waste your future by doing something so stupid my young king."Laughing a bit, I say, "It is nice to know you care for me, but I can assure you of something your future king can never be restrained from doing what his heart desires.""You may be strong, but don't forget that this is the second time you lost to me.""And since when did a Faoláin allow his weakness to remain open?"Taking in a deep breath, I shout, "RUAIRI!""Beast blood battle arts ultimate art; Fás Glórmhar!"From my mouth, I spit out a swarm of seeds, which all accelerate through their growth forming into massive trees in front of Ronald. I then lunge over towards the humans, and then the boys' troop which is ahead of us, runs down towards us."Ruairí, I need you to take both Laeg and Ibar then get them out of here. The rest of you make sure Donald doesn't follow us."Turning to the humans, I say, "Follow me!"

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.

-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
