One month and a half earlierContinent: TerrafideLocation: Astral PlateauIt has been a few days since we left everyone in the tunnels. Since then, Me Maple and Sparrow have been travelling to Basileia, located in an area called the Astral Plateau.Upon reaching there, I was amazed that there were so many kinds of stones that I had only seen in books. It took every ounce of my willpower not to stop and get lost looking at them. Though I jump off Willow every now and again to pick up shiny rocks that I like, then I use my speed to get back in no time.We brought lots of carts with us, so we could carry food for everyone, but I have started filling them up with random rocks I found. I wanted to take some animals as well, but we had to feed whatever we could find to Willow.Though this place has one major downside, it is scorching so much that I can barely handle it. This must be how people feel going through Fimbulwinter, but the opposite. Maple was pleased to see me being affected by

Three days later“Where the hell is that girl,” I say as I melancholy stare up at the sky.“Orb, come get something to eat”, Maple says.While Atalanta has been gone, we had set up camp right were we hid when we first arrived. I didn’t know then, but it seems all the people from the Village packed a bunch of things without my knowledge. It seems they wanted us to be as prepared as possible. I have to thank them for the next time I see them.As I walk past an asleep Willow, I give him a rub on his head. Because we lack the food to keep him fed, he has begun hibernating and has been asleep for the past three days. It makes me sad that we have nothing to give him, but if we start feeding him out of our food, the supplies will be finished in no time. Still I didn’t want him to suffer alone, so I only fed sparrow the minimum he needed to survive.While I sit down and eat, my anxiety over the situation of everyone in Basileia continues to grow. What I eat is barely enough for me, and I am s

-Break-Φ Letting out a sigh of boredom, I wonder what I am doing here. I haven’t been able to help one bit. The only reason I was brought here was for my vision, but with the change of plans, my role has been voided. Even now, I don’t know what to do. I can’t spend time with Willow the 2nd because he is asleep, and Orb is doing something important right now.He has been trying out his legacy for the last month, figuring out what he can do to improve it. All I could do was watch from afar, which has helped me improve my sight bit by bit.While looking at Orb in total concentration, I feel even more useless than before. So, I let out another sigh in disappointment with myself, but as I looked up, I saw Atalanta grabbing Orb. “She is back,” I say as I start moving towards their position. How did she get so close to him without me seeing her? I guess my vision hasn’t gotten that much better.When I approach them, I am about to say something but see them already lost in conversation, disc

-Break-Φ “Hey, Willow.”“Hiya Jerry.”“What are you doing here on the 7th floor? I thought you were working on food today.”“Wow, I am surprised you know my schedule.”“Well, I plan to climb the ladder here, so I have to push myself to get there, so I can help mother.”“What a great goal. Answering your question, the reason I came down here was because I was worried about all you guys here. This floor is unstable, and I don’t want any of you hurt.”Rubbing my hand on his head, I say, “What a good boy you are.”“Stop it,” he tells me playfully.“But you don’t need to worry about me, since look at what I got.”“Isn’t that the strange voice machine you guys use?”“It’s called a kaidenwa. Well, this device must be strange to someone who grew up in a forest.”“If I remember correctly, you speak into it, and others hear.”“Yes, but only if they have one with a similar signal, and you need to use spirit energy to power it,” it feels sort of weird explaining how to use technology to one of t

And when you come out of the mine, I will tell Atalanta to get Willow the 2nd ready, and then we go.”“Now, tell me the route I am going to follow.”Maple tells me exactly how I am planning to reach the m

A little bit earlierHow boring this is constantly taking to all these grown children. The only things they ever talk about are their extraordinarily dull lives, or they keep asking the same question; when will you get married again? What idiots would ask a widowed old woman like me that? But what is worse is that they try to woo me with all they got, since if they can get me to marry one of them, Basileia would pass down to them.At least not all of them are idiots, the sharper ones among them have brought their daughter to seduce some of my family. They have probably guessed that the guards I have brought with me are probably the ones I am passing Basileia down to, and they would have been correct if Tana had been here. Still, that is no worry since Tana isn’t one to be swayed by women.“Good day, lady Morgon,” I hear a voice say behind me.Turning around to see who is calling me, I come across an unpleasant face “Oh, good day to you, sir Viktor”.Viktor Anwunta comes from a rather

His legacy comes at me with its enormous chomping mouth. Using my speed, I meet it halfway and dodge, and then head for the man using it. As I am about to create ice on the ground to freeze him, I hear that the ball has turned and is coming back. Instead, I create ice on the floor, making a small pillar which I jump off of to dodge the attack.What the hell? I watched that man the whole time, and at no point did he make a motion to indicate it was going to attack. The first time it went for me, that man made a motion was all that just some kind of trick? Maybe his ball seeks its target. That must be it; otherwise, it would never have found me in the mine.As the ball attempts to attack me, I create a large wave of ice to try and freeze the ball, but it just chomps through it. As it comes for me with its large mouth, I use my legacy on my hands and feet to keep its mouth open. As it charges forward, my right arm is in excruciating pain, but I continue. I then create a large amount of i

Φ It hurts. It hurts so bad. The explosion made by Tana made every part of my body feel like it was dying. I thought I would die quickly from the explosion and the fall, but I didn’t. I survived. Tana’s body was blown away. All that remains are the pieces of his body that burst onto me.When Tana exploded, he did so close to the seventh-floor barricade. So, I fell to the last floor. The toxins created by the crystals here burn even my skin and make the air hot like a raging inferno as I lay there, unable to move my body while in excruciating pain.I picked what I wanted to do, yet I still failed. Until my body dies, I will be tortured slowly by the toxins. I guess this is what I deserve.But at least Willow and all the prisoners made it out, so my life wasn’t a waste after all, and now I get to die seeing something beautiful. At the very least, I can say that is my achievement. I can die at peace.“Can you really”“Who said that,” I say weakly. I start to cough intensely after speakin

Arc 10.141: Two masters part 1
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
