Legacies of light Arc 4.04
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
Legacies of light Arc 4.10
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

Swatting her away, I say, "I have no more time for the tricks of you snakes!"Pouting, she says, "I have no tricks, I would have you know that I just hate waste, and right now you're wasting your life.""It's none of your business how I live my life.""But my Faoláin blood is just commanding me to fix the misalignment in front of me."Turning to her, I say, "Faoláin blood?"Getting close to me again, she says, "My mother was a Faoláin, the wife of Bricriu.""That's impossible all of the Faoláin's except for Lugh were killed!"Dancing around like a fairy, "She was a woman named Airmedh a beautiful warrior who despite her gender was poised to be the next head of the Faoláin's for a time. The Faoláin head at the time cared very little for tradition. He favoured results. and she had many.Before Medb came there was a good chance she would be the first woman to ever be in charge of one of the four providences, and while many opposed this, many thought it made her the most precious jewel in
Arc 10.110: Keepsake part 3
Looking at me, the boy says, "You should have raised this boy to learn more respect, because that was completely ridiculous.""I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM SOMEONE WHO GOES AROUND HITTING CHILDREN!"I instantly move towards my son and help him up, "Don't worry Kian, mommy is here. Does it hurt anywhere; do you need me to kiss your wound?"Pushing me back, he says, "Stop being so annoying and get off of me you old witch."The boy hits Kian back into the ground, and says, "Don't take that tone with your mother you brat, or I will be making sure you don't get up again after my next blow!"Ryan says, "Why are you here young man?"With a cocky smile, he says, "Wouldn't you like to know?"Emma takes off her shoes and then moves towards the boy to whack him, but Ryan stops her and she says, "Just let me give him one good whack to straighten out his head.""You can't do that, just look at how he carries himself he is obviously some sort of noble brat.""We already have one unruly brat to de

That's why I accepted the request you made that day."Ryan, would you join me for the Laochs campaign?""Brother so far, we have only gone on monster hunting and slave catching with our band. Going to war, especially for the Laoch who have near-suicide tactics wouldn't be sane."Getting on his hands and knees, Cian says, "I know this might sound reckless, but I need the money.""Money? You know Mom and Dad will give you money for whatever you do.""Niamh is pregnant. They were close to kicking me out of the family when I married her. In their heads, they still think their perfect little boy will one day marry someone of high status and bring them prestige, so if they found out I got her pregnant I am sure they would maltreat her or even worse try something against her.So, I need to make as much money as possible and support my new family, and get her, my child, and you away from our heartless parents. I know this is selfish but there is no warrior I would ask to be by my side outside
Arc 10.108: Keepsake part 1
-One week Later-Location: Village of EasΦ I believe in true love.It is something I have always kept in my heart ever since I was a little girl.It isn't for any complex reason in the slightest, but just because my parents were always happy when next to each other.Both of them were strong people by themselves who could have lived fruitful lives on their own. Yet they choose to join together and the reactions that were caused by their union have made so much happiness that even people who don't know them can partake in it.The power of love is something that can bind people together, some think of it as a chain, but I think of it as a string. It is delicate and must be maintained because there is nothing easier to do than to break it.When I see two people who have gone through the effort to keep it maintained my heart just melts. I want that, I really do. So, during my younger years, I would spend my day playing with the little pixie wonderbeasts to look like a majestic beauty mys

"Now as part two of my master plan, I will elicit a second grand reaction from you, and you will become so enthralled that you will answer all my questions. GENIUS, I SAY, GENIUS!""Danu must have blessed you with great amounts of beauty if you're also this dumb.""You think I am beautiful. Oh, you dirty dog trying to seduce me like that.""Women really only hear what they want to," I mutter under my breath.Getting up, she says, "Now as part two of my part two of my plan allow me to dance on your spine and get all of the evil out of your body!""Really how cool, just let me assume the position-, HELL NO!""Why? Shouldn't such an opportunity be appealing to your beastlike senses, you dirty dog.""Not a dog, and I don't like being stepped on by strange girls.""So, you like being stepping on?"Pausing for a moment, I say, "The idea of Minagrain sitting on my face is rather hot, but aside from that I don't care for such things."With a shaky, and surprized voice, she says, "Mother was r
Arc 10.106: Ferdiad part 2
Looking at Ferdiad, I say, "What do you mean fight?""You heard me, now let's start," he says as he lunges at me.I pick up Ibar and Laeg and move away from his attack then plant them on the ground and say, "Do you even know what you're doing Ferdiad!""Of course I do. You put my sister through hell, so I am going to take it out on you."Ferdiad is extremely emotional right now, far more than I have ever seen him. But at the same time there is a rage that hides behind it all, seeing this causes me to ask, "Is that the reason you're doing this?""Red branch battle arts; Star flower."He lunges forward again, and I barely manage to dodge the seven strikes, with three grazing my body.He then tries to sweep my legs with his spear, but I jump up and kick him in the face, and ask again, "Ferdiad it has been a while since we have been able to fight, so show me what you got."He smirks and then charges at me again, and at that same moment, I charge forward.Φ Setanta and Ferdiad begin to cla

"I don't feel like talking to a man such as you," I say while avoiding eye contact."What a mean thing to say, especially since it was my daughter who singlehandedly stopped you from being killed by the next head of the house of Laoch.""I think you have that backwards, Setanta would have killed Niall all by himself.""I am sure he would have if he didn't have giant weights tying him down. If Niall and the rest of his men had all attacked Setanta he would have died protecting the rest of you, I can assure you of that."Spinning my head to face him, I say, "Is there a reason you are pestering me with this?""Not really, I just think you have the funniest reactions."I grit my teeth and then say, "Ok then vanish."Bricriu looks at all my men training and says, "The fact that you a normal beastkin have the authority to train a unit filled with such great talent is amazing. Truly a light in the dark for the rest of the Fir Bolg.Setanta was right to take such a keen interest in you becaus
Arc 10.104: The Golden wolf part 7
Aurelius looks ahead of himself to see that Setanta's body is rather furry and is much more animalistic than human. Despite Setanta's body retaining a humanoid shape, his face is next to indifferent to a human, with the exception of his ears.Setanta looks at Aurelius and says, "What's wrong.""I just thought you were a normal beastkin but are you a Fanalis?"Setanta laughs a bit, then says, "I am a normal beastkin."Culainn then says, "I think you're under a misconception that a lot of kids fall under.""Well, I am sorry I didn't have an education in beastkin anatomy."Culainn says, "Being a Fanalis or not isn't as simple as one would think. It isn't a box to check but more of a spectrum. With one end being Fanalis and the other being human.As beastkin, we consider anyone whose head resembles that of an animal or has gone through intense animalistic changes to be a Fanalis. Because in those cases far more of their brain resembles animals than any other type of beastkin.""I see, so

-Two days later-Looking at Setanta, Culainn says, "I need you to go grab me all of this. It is a list of tools, and metal I need to continue my work. Engraving so much has worn out my tools, and I need to reforge all of the things you broke.""REALLY!?"Aurelius holding back a smile says, "Look how happy he is to be contributing!"Setanta moves to punch Aurelius, but stops midway, and says, "You shouldn't tempt me, or I might accidentally kill you.""Then I will laugh at you from the grave at you for breaking your promise."Culainn says, "Take Aurelius with you. He is quite aware of the things I need."Aurelius looks shocked, but Setanta calmly says, "Fine.""Ehh, are the two of you sure about this?""Stop being a baby and come along," Setanta says as he grabs Aurelius.Setanta drags Aurelius out of the shop, which causes him to whisper, "This might be a good time for me to look around so I can plan my escape."Setanta ears twitch and he turns back to Aurelius, and says, "You know I
