Φ After leaving Orb, I walk around looking for the Medicine shop. While walking around, I repeat the same thing in my head: do your best. After a while, I stop and realise I don’t remember how I got here.Freaking out, I try to retrace my steps till I am somewhere familiar, but it is to no avail. So decided to go up and ask someone for directions.“Umm, Hel-l-l-llo.”“Hello.”“D-D-Do you know where the inn with the little fox-x-x-x’s is.”The man then looks as if he is thinking and then gives me a set of directions. That went well. I was able to do something to get out of my situation, this is good. So I followed the man’s directions and arrived at the wrong inn.Remembering what Zashiki said, I realised the fox spirits should be normal everywhere. I used the wrong spirit when asking for directions.As I walk away from the false inn, more lost than before, I start to feel sick. There are so many people all around me. Some are younger than me, and they don’t look nearly as inept as me.

While I stare into her face while she is pinned to the ground, she suddenly turns her head to the side where our eyes can’t meet. While avoiding eye contact, she says, “Get off of me and give me back my mask, you utter pile of garbage.”“If you want to be so rude, you should say such things to my face or are you too shy for that.”“JUST GET OFF!” She screams as her tails try to attack me.I move away in time, grabbing her basket in one hand while having her mask in another. “That wasn’t nice.”She stands up with her back facing me and says, “You attacked me first.”“Only because you humiliated me for no reason. Do you know the looks I get while walking around the city?”“Don’t worry about that since your existence is embarrassing enough.”Annoyed I say, “As punishment for your big mouth, I will eat all the food in this basket right here, right now.”She jumps forward and tries to hit me due to my declaration. While she tries to hit me, she turns around, and I look directly into her fa

Walking back to the inn after a rather long day, Zashiki greets us. “How did today go for the both of you,” she said.“Fine, I got solutions to some of the problems we were facing. Though I had to run all over the city to find them.”“That sounds wonderful. You probably got some great sightseeing while you were running around.”“You know, I am pretty sure I was so obsessed with getting what I wanted that I didn’t even bother to look at any of the sights in the city.”“Well, that’s a pity, but for however long you stay here, I hope you manage to get some in.”“I promise I will,” I say as we open the door to our room, but I am greeted with a strange sight. The Gyaku kitsunes have Sparrow tied up and are kicking him while he is on the ground.“What are you guys doing to our guests,” Zashiki says.“Oh, don’t worry. Even if they drown him, we wouldn’t care much.”“It’s not that, I have never seen them do something this aggressive before. This isn’t a good sign. All of you are coming with m

As the people around me start to increase, they yell at me, saying;“Why are you here?”“Have you come to curse us?”“You’re the one making the minuses stronger, aren’t you.”“Don’t you know how your existence has brought ruin to our businesses?”“Stop destroying our lives!”“Why did you have to be born into our village.”“Was it not enough destroying your parent’s lives.”“GET OUT!” Someone screams at me as they throw a stone my way. But as the stone comes towards me, Orb knocks it away as he and Cyrus arrive.“What are you people doing?”“Stay out of this foreigner.”“How can I stay out of this when my friend.”“Friend, do you even know what that child is?”“She must have tricked him.”“To think she has been trying to bewitch all the travellers all this time.”“Even after we put up with her existence in our village, she still pulls stunts like this. I have had enough of this, let us remove her.”Cyrus smashes his foot into the ground, which releases a mighty shockwave pushing people

I was brought to the Himeji castle when I arrived in the capital. I was always told as a child that it was a giant beautiful building where the shogun lived. It was a place I wanted to visit one day. To think I could come here, though my circumstances weren’t the ones I wanted to see it under.The first thing they did when I got there was isolate me from everyone. I was given a new change of clothes and was brought excellent food daily. However, I hated when they came to provide me with anything because whenever they approached, I could feel their hatred, fear and disgust at my presence. Every day I would feel more and more of their emotions until one day, I started to hear their thoughts.Full of animosity, they would discuss:“She is too dangerous to be kept alive.”“The fox rampage this time might destroy more than our country.”“It is our duty as humans to end this threat. We should execute her immediately.”“Kids cannot be put to death for any reason.”“Will you let such a foolis

-Break-Every day since Suzuka told us her name, we have come to visit her. The twinstars have tightened their defences around the area of her house, but as long as we sneak past them, it is no issue.Whenever we arrive, Suzuka is filled with joy to be with us, so much so that I felt that she was overbearing but still, that smile is too genuine for me to complain, so I bear with it.We spend all our time from morning till night playing. We draw, we build snow sculptures, we even fight though Suzuka tends to beat our asses at all of these things, which has stroked my competitive spirit quite a bit. So instead of making sure she has been having a fun time, I have been trying to crush her with all my heart though it turns out life isn’t going my way.One day I lost so completely at everything I fell to the ground on my hands and knees in defeat with tears falling down my eyes. Seeing this, Suzuka said to me.“Sorry about this Orb I’ll let you win the next one.”“That won’t make me happy,

-Break-Φ The dark cloud in the sky me and Cyrus see suddenly collapses in on itself and disappears. Following this, screams are heard, and debris flies everywhere even in our direction.As it comes at Cyrus and me, I freeze it, but looking around me, not everyone is so lucky. Debris blasted off some of their body parts, crushed some of their bodies, and landed on lots of the buildings. Seeing this, the feeling to vomit almost overtakes me, but I hold it back.Then I say to Cyrus, “I need you to go back to the inn to drop the medicine there. When you get back, make sure Sparrow is ready. If this is what I think it is, we might need to proceed with our plan tonight instead of tomorrow.”“R-R-R-Right,” Cyrus says as he leaves, I go around and start helping the people who were crushed by the debris around me. The spirits in the area and the buildings, also come out to help.“Do you have any idea what is doing this?” I ask one of the spirits.“It’s a minus. I can feel it, all of the spiri

After Cyrus says this, the minus with its flaming katana swings directly at him.“DODGE!” I scream.But Cyrus blocks the blow, from the katana taking the full shockwave of the impact, and absorbing the flames.“You’re interesting. To think a human is this strong” the minus says as Cyrus knocks it back.I move up to Cyrus and ask, “How did you do that.”Sporadically he says, “I j-j-just got my s-s-sword then I thought I couldn’t let you d-d-die, then black mist appeared. L-L-Legacy active sword changed darkness came out minus defeated.” When he finishes saying all this, I feel like steam is coming out of his head.“It’s okay slow down. We will figure this out later, but we need to get past that monster because behind it is Suzuka.”He starts panicking and says, “Is she ok? What is going on? Did t-t-t-that monster hurt her?” while getting close.“Cyrus, you’re ruining the cool Aura you had. Clam down,” I say, pushing his face away.“S-S-Sorry”“I need someone to distract him as I get cl

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

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.

-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

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.

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

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
