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? Come on.”“I am having trouble m
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
-Break-“A legacy?”“Yes Orb, a legacy. That’s what is going on with you. The soul of another being is living in your body and granting you their powers.”“Wait, does that mean someone has been staring at me while I shit and piss,” that also means they have heard me talk to myself all the time since Capti’s death. That’s so embarrassing.“I wouldn’t know about that, but what I can tell you is that the soul of the other person can be manifested in armaments around your body, and that your body will start passively adopting physical traits the other person had, so I think that must be why you are immune to the cold.”I guess that makes sense. I thought I was immune to the cold due to some evolutionary difference, but it seems I just lucked out and got a legacy.“Orb, that means a whole other person is inside you, isn’t that kind of scary” Willow says to me.“Well, I guess it would be to have a stranger inside my body, but I am pretty sure I have a fair idea of who my legacy is.”Willow,
-Break-Φ Ever since Maple went to talk with her father, she has started to fit in more in the village. She now speaks to all the other villagers and gets along with her dad. Sequoia has also continued to teach Maple about the outside world.Due to all this Maple is almost always smiling now, which warms my heart. But the best part is that she is a lot nicer to me. Though if there is one thing that has been bothering me, it is her and Orb.Due to the chief removing the ban on outside knowledge, she has also talked with Orb a lot. He has shared all his knowledge with her, and they have grown closer. This was great for me at first, my two friends were also becoming friends, I couldn’t ask for anything better. That was what I thought, but recently, I have been bothered since they seem to be hanging out more often.They have also recently been showing off some bizarre behaviour, and when I have gone up to them to ask them what’s going on, they start to freak out and try to end the convers
-Break-As I start to wake up, I try to move my body. I notice my hands and feet are restricted. I feel pain from trying to move my them, so I open my eyes to see my situation. I note that everything around me is dark, with just a little light coming through what I believe are planks. My hands and feet are chained in the stocks, it was the same kind that were put on me when I first arrived. My mouth also had cloth on it, stopping me from making noise. I also felt weak. It was like my muscles had been weakened.Unable to get out of the stocks, I use my legacy on both arms, which shatter these stocks. I then use the claws to remove the ones on my legs. After that, I broke open the top of where I was put, and it turned out I was in a storage area within the village. No one is usually here due to how cold it is.After getting up, I leave the storehouse and walk around the village. Still, to my surprise, it is barren. There are no people, no matter where I look when I call out, I don’t get
After taking a breath, Cole says, “You know you’re really messing up my plan here, after all that effort I made to make sure you, Orb, and Maple were left alone, you come and do this, YOU FUCKING IDIOT.”“COLE, ANSWER MY QUESTION!”“Ok then, for money, simply as that, everything from the village will all fetch a high price, there is your answer.”Enraged, Sequoia says, “So you destroyed our village for money.”“Basically.”“Even after everything we did for you, this is how you repay us, by destroying our village and selling us off. I swear, even if God forgives this transgression, I will not.”“That’s your fault for not sticking to your principles.”“What.”“You believe the outside world is dangerous, yet you decided to curve your principles to look after Orb and me. You invited danger into this village. No one else, all my actions here are your fault and yours alone.You wouldn’t know this since you don’t cook, but it was rather easy to put lots of different types of drugs into the f
