-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

-Break-Φ I still remember the day a hero saved me. My mom and dad brought me on a trip in the carriage. It was a rainy day, and extremely cold outside, but I was happy being with my parents. However, it didn’t last as bandits attacked our carriage. They came out of nowhere and killed all the guards dad had hired. They took us out of the carriage, separated me from my parents, and were about to kill them in front of me as I cried nonstop.But someone appeared out of nowhere and cut down all the bandits in seconds, saving my parents and me from a horrible fate. He patched our wounds up, and then started walking away. Before he could get far, my dad called out to him and said, “Please wait. Let us repay you for your kindness.”But the man with white hair said in response, “Heroic big brothers like me don’t do things expecting to be paid back, I did it because I believed it was the right thing to do, so that I will be on my way,” and with that, the man left without a trace.The words he

-Break-Φ As the Lúcogadh's cavalry race through the mountain range, Téad remembers a conversation from the night before.To my men, I say, "And that will be the path we will take to reach the outside, any problems?"None of my men raise any disputes but then I hear, "Please go rest Ferdiad."Moving my head, I see Ferdiad fighting against my men trying to reach me, so I head over to him and say, "What are you doing moving about?"Grabbing me, Ferdiad says, "I have a favour to ask.""What?""Please let us return for Ibar.""No that is stupid, at this point, he is all but assured to be dead.""I don't think he would be. The enemies I fought seemed hesitant to kill me because I was a child, if they caught Ibar I am sure they would restrain him.""Regardless of that, those foes you fought were exceptionally strong, even if all of us here teamed up against them, winning would still be an uphill battle.""I know but we can't just leave him.""Yes, we can.

"He saved you?""Quite, when he found out about my sister's condition he decided to take the both of us in. Apparently, that man had been gathering those born with a similar condition and had been sending them off to one of his faraway colonies to live."Smiling Craig said, "But guess what when he told me this, he just said I shipped your sister off to a plantation, where she will work and live till she dies.Can you believe that! It made me think she was a slave, and when I later found out the truth, he said; what did you think I mean? Can you believe that asshole?"Saoirse says, "It's better than him telling you that your brother is being squished to death when in actuality he means your brother just got married and his wife can't stop hugging him." A few others come towards us and say, "Once he told me that the food he was eating was so good it would destroy you, so I took a bite and it turns out it was poison. Then he looked at me as if I was strange for eating it!""He once told

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

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. Then looking him in the face, I say, "You won't be laying a hand on these two ever again Cambell, remember that you fool."He

-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.

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
