-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

After watching my brother run, I returned to the village, where I was severely punished, though I didn’t care since me and my brother made a promise.To become the person my brother saw me as I started training day and night. I also memorised all the knowledge we had about the outside world, so when my Drasil came back, I would be able to go with him. In no time, a year had passed, but my brother hadn’t returned. This sent panic throughout the village. Everyone was worried about what had happened to him, still I wasn’t concerned, because the star he pointed out has only shone brighter and brighter since the day he left.So, to alleviate people’s worries, I went up to large crows and said, “My brother was never one to keep track of time when he is enjoying himself, and without a doubt, I can say he is enjoying himself.”The words I said to everyone with complete faith in my brother, little by little, won them over and calmed their worries, even my parents, and so as time continued and

-Break-Φ “Why can’t they both understand? Is it because they are young? Is it because they were born without fear? I want them to be safe, but they strongly reject my wish. Am I supposed to let them jump into an abyss I know ends with them falling to their deaths?”Sequoia has been rambling on ever since Orb left, as if trying to convince himself of something.“Cole, may I ask you something.”“Go ahead.”“As someone who has lived in the outside world for most of your life, am I wrong? Is what I believe incorrect.”“The world is too big for anyone to have a comprehensive opinion on it, that includes myself, so I can’t tell you whether you or Orb are correct. Still, we all act according to some form of justice, so if you believe with all your heart that the outside world will only bring harm to your daughter, then don’t let her go no matter what, and keep her safe, but that’s simply my opinion.”“Thank you for that, Cole,” he says while looking relieved.“CHIEF,”, Aea says as she runs

I felt a powerful force spend my us into the snow. Feeling pain, I grab a hold of the situation, and see Willow on top of me with blood coursing down his forehead.“Good to see you’re ok, but right now, I need you to run,” Willow says to me.After looking past Willow, I see a giant beast coming for us, I quickly get up as fast as I can, but as I am going to begin to run, I see that Willow hasn’t gotten up. “What are you doing?

The tiritrex, was a species, which would survive no matter their habitat. Their ability to become accustomed to their environment was unparalleled. If they needed strength, their bodies would adapt and increase their muscle mass. If they needed height, their bones would stretch. If they were required to fish, they would learn to swim, and if they needed to deal with humans, they would become smarter.There was even a time when humans feared they would overtake them on the food chain. One of them would cause enough problems, but due to their intelligence, they all worked in large packs with almost no infighting. The tiritrex’s were once the scariest animals to walk the earth, but that would all end when the land they were living on froze.The lushes land of what Fimbulwinter was before was turned into a frozen wasteland where almost everything died. Even the tiritrex’s were not unaffected by the bone-chilling cold; just like all life living in Fimbulwinter, they dropped one by one.But

Minagrain in front of me turns incredibly nervous, and she blushes again and again. Her ears start to move wildly, and she takes her tail and uses it to cover her face. She jumps from one foot to the next and then falls to the ground while still holding her tail.Then she looks at me, and she nods."Was that a, yes?" A say with a face of disbelief."Yes," She gestures towards me.I pick her up, twirl her around, and say, "I happen to be the happiest man around!"She turns more and more red as I twirl her around, and we both laugh together. Then stopping I hold her tight and put the ring on her finger which makes her raise her arm to stare at it, before looking directly at me and smiling.Is it even fair to be this cute? Is it even fair to be this adorable? It is like this little girl has a grip on my soul, and there is nothing I can do about it. I am completely dominated by her."Don't worry Minagrain, I will get this traded for some jewellery for your tail instead of this human tradi

So now I want to go stay with my hot wife.""Well, I haven't been able to meet with my hot wife yet, so we all stay single together!""Don't lump me in with the both of you."Aurelius and Culainn say, "Minagrain," and instantly all the energy in my legs fades and I fall to the ground."Low blow.""Someone needs to take down your ego every now and then."Reaching h

Aurelius looked up at me with a pained and frustrated expression. It is the face of someone who has had to swallow a harsh reality that they would rather reject under all circumstances."What? Is the truth hard to hear? Well as you said people are free to make whatever choices they want, so if she didn't like it, she could have just killed herself couldn't she have.""Setanta shut the hell up!""But you would hate that wouldn't you, you want her to be alive and suffer through all of that, just so you can make her pump out her fifth set of kids that look like you don't you."He raises his fist to punch me, and as he does, I say, "Hit me all you want but understand that the only reason you can is because I let you. You're no different than a pet biting its master in this moment, you can get as sad and angry as you want but your survival demands good behaviour.Even after all I said you still want to live so bad that you won't punish me for my words.

The beastkin rushes at Setanta from all sides, and he fights and fights and fights.Red Branch battle arts; Starflower, Clover, Tulip, Sky flower, Sonic thrust, Camellia Japonica, Passiflora, Morning Glory.Again and again, he uses the forms of his style to strike down the foes who come for his neck, using whatever weapons he can, even his own flesh.His weapons and flesh break down from this constant battle, but Setanta doesn't stop until he starts to push them back.Scared by this Dáire rookies rush back in to help him and his men, and the fight rages on even more.They come towards Setanta again, and again ripping his flesh out which causes Setanta to scream in pain again and again.

Setanta lands and the moment he does, he moves to the crowd and grabs a knife from one of the members of the mob who are all holding miscellaneous weapons. Then he moves towards Culainn and Aurelius pulling them out of harm's way."You ok old man, do you need some worms?"Culainn looks at Setanta and says, "Don't make fun of birds you stupid wolf."Setanta smiles, then gets up and faces Dáire, then he says, "First son of the Lugh Ó Faoláin, next head of the house of Faoláin and the next king of Gorias, Setanta Ó Faoláin. I give you only until the next time I blink to explain to me what just happened to my compatriots."Blinking, he says, "Times up."Setanta glares at all of them with a ferocity that makes many of them except Dáire elite warriors shudder in fear.Dáire looks at Setanta, and says, "Son of Lugh, a human was caught walking in our lands, and will be judged by the rules of it.""This is Biorg land.""But this is the providence of Findias, so it still all falls under the con

"But before that, I will thank the brave warrior who put his life at risk to warn of this traitor's location."Both me and Aurelius look confused, but then the beastkin holding down Daragh let him go and he comes over to Dáire.Aurelius seeing this says, "Daragh, what's going on?""The tunnel we passed through on our way here releases orange dust when one makes lots of noise within it, and as our horses went through it the orange dust was released everywhere showing our pursuers that we had gone off the main path and had taken a shortcut. Any member of the village would be aware of this.""You sold us out?"With a disgusted expression, Daragh says, "Of course I did you human. No matter how I am treated I know not to make deals with the devil that could curse all my people."Daragh walks away and as he does a man comes out from the mob of people throughout the forest, and says, "Good work my son, you have truly shown that it was worth raising you."As his father rubs his head, he makes

But don't hold it against him, the little boy seems to be in a dire strait."Beside me Daragh comes up and looks at the horses, so I turn to him and say, "Do you want to touch one?""Can I!" He says with a bright expression.Picking him up, I hold him near the horse and say, "Horses are very highly perceptive, and will sense distrust. So, make sure to earnestly approach.""I will."He slowly brings his hands close and then touches its head. As he does the horse playfully rubs its head against Daragh's hand, and he looks back at me whilst saying, "He is touching me back! I think he likes me!""You're right about that, it seems he senses what a good man you are."Daragh looks at the horse, and says, "They never let me go near one back at home.

Then in that moment, they peer their heads up where they see their leader and an entire army of men in front of them.The man who sits at the front of the army says, "Speak."All of the men in the robes shut their mouths except one, who says, "I have located Culainn and the human, they are currently in a small village and are isolated from any other people.""Good, it seems we should be able to carry out Ciarán's request easily enough on the former head of his house."Getting up the man says, "Everyone gets your weapons ready; we will be leaving when the sun sets."As the man walks away one of the beastkin dressed in robes says, "Is this a good idea?"Their leader stops and turns aro
