Legacies of light Arc 7.03
The gryphons charge at us at full speed ready to attack. I activate my legacy on my arms and legs, then I use snow boost to propel myself into the air. Meeting the gryphon mid-air, I slash it with my claws and then freeze the area to kill it.Φ I turn one of my tails into spirit energy(7 left), then I use Fox art; leg breaker to jump up into the air and hit the gryphon right in its neck breaking it.But as I do, five other come for me, so I kick off of my tail to slightly move myself out of the way. It is hard to sense these animals since they don't give off spirit energy.Φ In the middle of the air I create a platform of ice and kick-off off it, while dodging all the gryphons attacks. Something is strange here, they're all coordinated, wonderbeasts shouldn't act together this well especially prideful ones like gryphons.Realizing what's going on, I look over at the big gryphon. That one must be an alpha; they are all working as a unit since they have bowed their heads to him. Still,

Φ After a little bit, we all arrive in front of the giant rotating wings. Moving closer, I throw ice through the wings which gets diced up, so I say, "Yeah, definitely no way we're going through this. I guess our only option is to go over it."Moving close to everyone I say, "Suzuka wrap us up."Using her tails Suzuka tethers all of us together, then I create an ice pillar under us. "Cyrus it's your turn now."With his monstrous strength, Cyrus jumps directly over the barrier, so we start falling down on the other side.As we fall Atalanta says, "Orb what's your plan now?""I am working on it; I didn't expect Cyrus to jump so high. Suzuka, I need you to use your tails to cushion our fall.""It won't be enough.""Don't worry about that, I can handle the rest."Following my instructions, Suzuka uses her tails to form a giant ball around us. Then sticking my hand out of that ball, I create snow to take care of the rest of the force, right before we crash into the ground.Getting up I ask

-Break-Φ "Anto, look at this city it is massive!""Mime, I can't even count the amount of money we would get for the things here.""Where should we get started?""Mime don't you remember teachers' words.""Of course I do; steal from the elderly first, it is not like they have much for all that money.""Exactly!""Now let's go rob those dying old money bags.""I will lead the way."-Break-Φ We all sit down on benches in the center of the city, completely exhausted.Exasperating, Atalanta says, "I hate this city. These people are overbearing they even changed all our clothes for us."Shaking Suzuka says, "All the people's heads here are completely overcrowded, I feel like I hear 100 people's thoughts when I read just one."Cyrus says, "They are v-v-v-very scary.""I don't think that it is all that bad, look around no matter where you look someone is doing something they love. Even though they are all overworked you can feel the passion in their work.""Unlike you Orb, we don't have in

-Break-Φ Walking into the woman's house, I see it is run down and completely messy, but more than that it is filled with fabric. The colourful fabric looks completely out of place in the dreary house."I present to you my house; I built it all by myself. It might not be the biggest place, but it has plenty of soul.""You should really clean up all this fabric, it takes up about 90 percent of the space in this house." Seeing something that catches my eye I run over and grab it. Feeling it I say, "This is the fur of an atlas eater.""Yes, I got it from one of those wonderbeasts called predasaurs in Fimbulwinter.""But how did you even manage that, Fimbulwinter isn't the type of place you can go hunting?""I bought it off a young man years ago."Walking in Atalanta says, "Something rare like this would be without a doubt be ridiculously expensive, so how am I to believe you bought this?""Well, you see when I was younger I randomly came across a stack of gold and used it to buy the pelt

Φ While in a headlock, I say to Atalanta, "How the hell are you so fast?""Maybe your just slow.""Shut up, and can you let go of me, I am going to choke.""This is what you deserve."Elbowing her in the stomach I say, "We don't have time to waste, I need to go get the fabrics and then make sure Suzuka and Cyrus are still alive.""What do you mean still alive?""It is just that I don't think leaving those two together could end well.""I don't see the problem, both of them are quite similar.""You would think that at first glance, but I don't think those two are similar at all. It is like a land creature that can swim, and a sea creature that can go on land.""That's a stupid analogy.""Shut up." Hearing something, I say, "Atalanta, Gryphons are approaching this place.""Could it be more of the ones from earlier?""I doubt it, they wouldn't bother to ride through the material-filled airspace of Skydust unless someone was riding them.""Let's go look for Cyrus and Suzuka, if anything h

Holding my wife's hand tighter, I see Maria say, "You guys don't look shaken by this news at all, it is as if you knew what he was doing."Begrudgingly I say, "My boy had some animosity against your ways which he was quite vocal about. So when he disappeared on the day war was officially declared against Varage we had our suspicions."Koa says, "He left with quite a lot of weapons, am I supposed to believe a small city like Skydust didn't find something strange about all those weapons being made and then suddenly disappearing."Kate says, "My son's personal craft was decorative weapons, so it wouldn't have been strange to anyone if he made a large amount of them.""Don't try and dodge my question, you people are smart enough to know what I am getting at. Why didn't you inform Gevurah of this, if you had such suspicions your first action should have been to contact us. The fact that you didn't puts your loyalty in question."Standing up, I see Gardienne ready herself to strike me, but

-Break-Walking past the circular barrier towards Skydust, Atalanta says, "You didn't have to hit me so hard.""And you didn't have to be so annoying. How the hell am I ever going to live this down.""Don't talk as if aren't ecstatic to have those rights now.""That's not the point, wait no, I hate you!!""Orb do you really like those?" Suzuka asks."No Suzuka, it really isn't like that.""There is nothing wrong with you Orb," Cyrus says."Yeah, Orb if you like woman's legwear we won't judge you for it."The innocence of those two is almost blinding. "You're both too precious for this world, I need you guys to be safe today.""Promise we will," Suzuka says."Atalanta go with them to make sure they function.""I refuse.""I thought you said you didn't want to be involved with Dush?""Yesterday she had the upper hand against me, but today I plan to pay that hag back."Letting out a sigh, I mumble, "Grow up."Atalanta swings at me, but I move my body out of the way and run off saying, "H

-Break-Φ It kind of weird to just be sitting here doing work. In less than a week Gevurah might attack and destroy everything on Skydust, I just guess it really hasn't hit me yet.I heard some people have started panicking, while others have started to devote themselves to their craft even more. I guess if our country is going to be destroyed, they at least want to reach the pinnacle of their craft.Pumping myself up I say, "Then I will do the same, I will become the best pawn shop in all of Skydust. But aren't I the only one in Skydust, doesn't that make me the best by default." Realizing my greatness, I let out a laugh of victory.Suddenly I hear a smacking sound, then, "Hello."Looking down, I see a small boy no older than 10 years old dressing in a clown costume with a crescent moon mask. But, behind the little boy is a giant bag of stuff. "Hello dear customer, what can I do for you today."Staring directly into my face the boy says, "Why do you look like that?""Look like what?"

Φ As Dagda laughs in front of me, I say, "So if you would excuse me."With his same cherry smile as always, he says, "Haha, your jokes are as tasteful as your clothes. Now Medb where is my money?""Money? You mean the financial instrument we have assigned value to for the sake of switching things we have made into items we have collected from our environment and from others through labour, intelligence and ingenuity?"With his smile fading a bit, he says, "Hahaha, yes. Now where is it?""Dagda what really is value? Is it something kings assign value to-,""Yes."Putting my finger on his lips, I say, "OR! Is it the exchange of wills from one person to another, so isn't my mere smile payment enough?""Not a chance, now my money."I get thrown off my balance as he rejects me, and then I lean on him and say, "We have known each other for a long time, and you still don't trust me.""I trusted you decades ago when I invested in your research hoping for a return. But every time you make a re
Arc 10.130: The final celebration part 2
Location: City of GoriasΦ For six days a festival has been raging on within the city of Gorias, and the entire providence of Gorias.The beastkin during the festivals made it a point to dress in clothes far more ornate than usual; wearing flowers throughout their bodies, or dressing in clothes made entirely out of plants.Clothes made out of animals had the motif of using materials from animals their innate beast was hunted or were hunted by as a sign of greater connection.The druids made clothes out of plants that could be modified with their beast blood battle, allowing them to change their designs of the clothes, and throughout the city, designated druids were given instructions to change the clothes of those who passed by.Many wore jewellery such as brooches, pins, armlets, rings, and torcs against the animal parts of their bodies as a way to honour their heritage, while many others decorated their bodies with paint or tattoos which represent ancient stories or those who they c

Minagrain in front of me turns incredibly nervous, and she blushes again and again. Her ears start to move wildly, and she takes her tail and uses it to cover her face. She jumps from one foot to the next and then falls to the ground while still holding her tail.Then she looks at me, and she nods."Was that a, yes?" A say with a face of disbelief."Yes," She gestures towards me.I pick her up, twirl her around, and say, "I happen to be the happiest man around!"She turns more and more red as I twirl her around, and we both laugh together. Then stopping I hold her tight and put the ring on her finger which makes her raise her arm to stare at it, before looking directly at me and smiling.Is it even fair to be this cute? Is it even fair to be this adorable? It is like this little girl has a grip on my soul, and there is nothing I can do about it. I am completely dominated by her."Don't worry Minagrain, I will get this traded for some jewellery for your tail instead of this human tradi

-Break-Location: Culainn's BlacksmithsΦ As we walk through the streets the people of Gorias yell my praises."Setanta the destroyer of the Laochs.""Setanta the future kings!""The protector of all who live within the empire.""Cú Culainn!""The silver wolf of the victory.""Our future hero king.""The one who shall conquer the east."As they speak and celebrate whilst a walk with Aurelius who holds Culainn on his back, I say, "THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!"Culainn says, "We get beaten up, and you grow more famous, life truly isn't fair."Aurelius says, "But we're lucky to be alive at least.""You are lucky to be alive. So now I want to go stay with my hot wife.""Well, I haven't been able to meet with my hot wife yet, so we all stay single together!""Don't lump me in with the both of you."Aurelius and Culainn say, "Minagrain," and instantly all the energy in my legs fades and I fall to the ground."Low blow.""Someone needs to take down your ego every now and then."Reaching h

Aurelius looked up at me with a pained and frustrated expression. It is the face of someone who has had to swallow a harsh reality that they would rather reject under all circumstances."What? Is the truth hard to hear? Well as you said people are free to make whatever choices they want, so if she didn't like it, she could have just killed herself couldn't she have.""Setanta shut the hell up!""But you would hate that wouldn't you, you want her to be alive and suffer through all of that, just so you can make her pump out her fifth set of kids that look like you don't you."He raises his fist to punch me, and as he does, I say, "Hit me all you want but understand that the only reason you can is because I let you. You're no different than a pet biting its master in this moment, you can get as sad and angry as you want but your survival demands good behaviour.Even after all I said you still want to live so bad that you won't punish me for my words.

The beastkin rushes at Setanta from all sides, and he fights and fights and fights.Red Branch battle arts; Starflower, Clover, Tulip, Sky flower, Sonic thrust, Camellia Japonica, Passiflora, Morning Glory.Again and again, he uses the forms of his style to strike down the foes who come for his neck, using whatever weapons he can, even his own flesh.His weapons and flesh break down from this constant battle, but Setanta doesn't stop until he starts to push them back.Scared by this Dáire rookies rush back in to help him and his men, and the fight rages on even more.They come towards Setanta again, and again ripping his flesh out which causes Setanta to scream in pain again and again. But never falls.To all those who see this sight fear and awe is put in their hearts as they await for him to crumble down and simply give up, but again and again he rises to strike down more and more beastkin until, the very foes he is fighting start to feel more strain then he does.The rookies, the e

Setanta lands and the moment he does, he moves to the crowd and grabs a knife from one of the members of the mob who are all holding miscellaneous weapons. Then he moves towards Culainn and Aurelius pulling them out of harm's way."You ok old man, do you need some worms?"Culainn looks at Setanta and says, "Don't make fun of birds you stupid wolf."Setanta smiles, then gets up and faces Dáire, then he says, "First son of the Lugh Ó Faoláin, next head of the house of Faoláin and the next king of Gorias, Setanta Ó Faoláin. I give you only until the next time I blink to explain to me what just happened to my compatriots."Blinking, he says, "Times up."Setanta glares at all of them with a ferocity that makes many of them except Dáire elite warriors shudder in fear.Dáire looks at Setanta, and says, "Son of Lugh, a human was caught walking in our lands, and will be judged by the rules of it.""This is Biorg land.""But this is the providence of Findias, so it still all falls under the con

"But before that, I will thank the brave warrior who put his life at risk to warn of this traitor's location."Both me and Aurelius look confused, but then the beastkin holding down Daragh let him go and he comes over to Dáire.Aurelius seeing this says, "Daragh, what's going on?""The tunnel we passed through on our way here releases orange dust when one makes lots of noise within it, and as our horses went through it the orange dust was released everywhere showing our pursuers that we had gone off the main path and had taken a shortcut. Any member of the village would be aware of this.""You sold us out?"With a disgusted expression, Daragh says, "Of course I did you human. No matter how I am treated I know not to make deals with the devil that could curse all my people."Daragh walks away and as he does a man comes out from the mob of people throughout the forest, and says, "Good work my son, you have truly shown that it was worth raising you."As his father rubs his head, he makes

Location: Outer edge of the Village of Lann BhuanΦ Grooming the hair of the horses by the riverside, I say, "Sorry for Setanta's nonsense, we are lucky he managed to catch you from the air when we fell off that Clift. But don't hold it against him, the little boy seems to be in a dire strait."Beside me Daragh comes up and looks at the horses, so I turn to him and say, "Do you want to touch one?""Can I!" He says with a bright expression.Picking him up, I hold him near the horse and say, "Horses are very highly perceptive, and will sense distrust. So, make sure to earnestly approach.""I will."He slowly brings his hands close and then touches its head. As he does the horse playfully rubs its head against Daragh's hand, and he looks back at me whilst saying, "He is touching me back! I think he likes me!""You're right about that, it seems he senses what a good man you are."Daragh looks at the horse, and says, "They never let me go near one back at home. Horses are animals which are
