"What's with you hanging your head so low, come on and call already, you don't plan to fold, do you?"

Behind me, one of my friends says, "Amer would never fold, even if his life depends on it!"

With a face of dread, I look at my friend as another one of them says, "Yeah even if he has to go home broke forever, he would never fold."

You fucking bastards have just made it so much harder to walk out of here.

"That's good to hear, because you were just running your lips a second ago, if you folded you would be a giant clown," she says with a smile.

Behind me, one of my friends says, "The one laughing, in the end, will be Amer, isn't that right guys?"

"YEAH!" My friends scream. Soon after that, they start cheering my name over and over, "AMER, AMER, AMER, AMER!"

Hearing this I start to feel invigorated, what the hell am I getting worked up about, there is no way I can lose with this hand, I have just been letting this little girl get into my head. I am the greatest gambler ever to be born.

    Every day from that day on I worked. An uneducated man such as myself would have struggled to find work, so Tarina's father allowed me to work for him. He was a merchant, and under the I began to work up the 1 million Lupas I needed to pay him for his daughter.I would go all across Terrafide to sell his goods as a travelling merchant, I would also go to both of the great port cities of Deno and Cordum to sell goods. Standing in Cordum the city where adventures began filled me with hope.But the disappointment I faced with my job was immeasurable."Hey, you how about you buy our fine goods.""Don't bother me.""What about you, I believe this amulet would go quite well with your dress."Putting up her hand, she says, "Please don't breath the same air as me peasant."Every day I would get talked down to or ignored, as I tried to sell goods. The only solace I had was when I returned back to Bêqîmet and got to see Tarina again."Did you just come out of the oven? Because you're hot.""Oh,

    -Break-The very next day I married Tarina in a speedy wedding, then moments after we went up to her father and I said, "Sorry I won't be taking your offer, since we are going to go on an adventure!"With a face of disbelief, he says, "Has your mind rotted away.""As one body, that is what me and my darling wife have decided." As I say this tears burst forward."Darling why are you crying.""It is just that I can finally say you're my wife!"Sighing, Tarina's father says, "I see now, you let my child whisper into your ear, listen up right now Yamal do you know how many great men have fallen due to letting the inferior ones whisper sweet words into their ears.""Father, no Samuel, what me and my husband decide to do with our lives has nothing to do with you."Laughing a little, Samuel says, "You're simply the daughter of a whore whom I graciously accepted as my own because of your face, don't think because some idiots are willing to pay for you that you can take such a tone with me you

    As we woke up and got the news of Rasartine's unconditional surrender, we rushed outside where we saw people leaving. Stopping someone who was running away, I ask, "What happen to the soldiers?""They fled the moment they got the news, so all of us can leave. You better hurry who knows when the Gevurah soldiers will be here."Turning to my wife, I say, "Let's go.""Right."Running back to our carriage, we immediately make to leave. While holding the reins of our carriage I feel incredibly tense, but beside me, my wife says, "It will be ok."Riding down the road, I see a young woman lying on the floor and scream, "Help me!""Yamal, we need to stop over there!"Gritting my teeth, I say, "No we have to keep riding, every second is precious we can't afford to waste time."Forcefully taking the reigns from me, my wife stops the carriage. Jumping out she goes to help the woman as I scream, "Tarina, what the hell are you doing!""Shut up you big cry-baby. If we were to leave her you would ju

    Chewing on the apple in my mouth I start to feel my body fill up with energy."That should heal you up."From behind the man, I hear someone say, "You know if you sold those to us you would live in comfort for the rest of your life." Looking past the man I see it was Tiburcio."Being comfortable and being fulfilled aren't linked in the slightest.""Being fulfilled and being happy aren't linked in the slightest my dear king," Tiburcio says finishing his sentence with a bow."King?" I say shocked.Turning back to me, he stands me on my two feet and says, "My name is Ahmed Abrahams, and from today on you're free."With disbelief, I say, "Your kidding, right?"Tiburcio says, "He isn't in the slightest, that fool has just bought all the slaves we had available for twice their market value.""What that pest said is correct, from this moment I have given you all freedom."Hearing this tears start to form in my eyes, "Looks like I can see you after all Tarina."Suddenly Tiburcio starts to lau

    -Break-Φ I run through the rooftops looking for Yamal. Smelling something familiar, I say, "I picked up his scent he should be over there!" Then with Snowboost, I move over towards that direction. If I can get Yamal to tell Ahmed he doesn't want to die I am sure Ahmed will let him live.Φ Guzzling the alcohol in my hand, I shout to the sky with a drunk slur, "MY darling Tarina it seems I will finally be able to see you again, I am sorry it took me so long to get to you, but I wasn't able to build up the courage to do it myself, but my glorious king has decided to do it for me."Dancing on the roof, I say, "You got to hear this our little Raqiue is a super genius, she has only been going to school for a year and a half and already she is doing things other adults can't even do. She could easily provide for herself even if I am not around, all she would need to do is go to the casino and walk home with a full bag. Apparently, she is also a social butterfly, the reason most people even

    Standing up I start walking around the house and I notice a few things. Yamal's room is rather clean for a sloppy fellow, and I can say the same thing about all the other rooms, they are all completely spotless and look just as if they had all been brought in.In the house are books about proper child education, and healthcare for children, and on a rather tall shelve are a bunch of medical supplies, and a list titled Raqiue's favourite foods. Then on a shelf above, that is another journal entitled my darling daughter.Opening it I read countless notes from date to date about what Raqiue said or accomplished. This level of obsessive care is rather scary.Walking through the kitchen I look around and see how messy the organisation of the foods are, doesn't Yamal know that keeping your food clean is just as important as keeping your body clean?I also find a loaf of sliced bread, but all the crusts are cut off, "What are you some kind of baby!?"Next, I find a sheet of what I believe to

    Walking towards us slowly, the man says, "You might be the king's guests but know this, you won't get off easy for this behaviour."In the most convincing voice I have, I say, "We just happened to find out about this place.""I have been following you for an hour and what I have seen tells me that you both were intentionally looking for this door, and the very fact you know about its existence is a national crisis."Atalanta fires a volley of arrows at the man and picks me up. As we run away, she says, "Anto teleport us!"Seeing the man approaching us I throw my dagger and teleport us away as he attacks.When we reach our new position Atalanta runs at full speed. Looking at her I ask, "Are you ok? Your body is way more injured than mine.""Don't worry I can still run, and don't think for a second I am going to let you get busted for my mistake."From my right side, I hear, "How sweet," Before Atalanta is hit sending her flying again.As we land on a building, I feel even worse than be

I also happen to be a part of the Laoch family, actually, I am the next head Niall Ó Laoch."Ferdiad then mutters, "You mean the strongest warrior of our generation?" As Ferdiad says this I notice he does seem to be around our age, but maybe one or three years older than I am.Picking his nose, he says, "I guess people started calling me that, but it is not like it means anything when I am surrounded by weaklings."I prepare to say something to him, but then Ferdiad says, "Laeg Ní Fergal I need you to calm down and think about all your actions from now on through carefully?"The boy stops then makes a confused look on his face, and says, "Wait aren't you Laeg Ní Fergal?"Ferdiad turns to me, and I say, "

Their attacks are fierce and nonstop which stops even the strongest of beastkin from making any progress.Looking into the distance the human general says, "My brave soldiers we are strong and unbreakable, and that is because right now every man, woman and child is working as one to fight back against our enemies.They have been able to make no progress and soon our allies will come and strike them down!

He wanted to strengthen the power of the empire so you would never have to live in the fear or torment of the Fir Bolg.He spent his life trying to make this place just a little bit safer for all of us, he stepped on a hellish battlefield, and even on that battlefield, he never lost his heart and still went out of the way to protect the young.

I like that!"Setanta hits the chameleon in the leg with his stick,

Without a doubt the only people who could have allowed the resistance to work so well would be Aoife and the rest of the traitors, and now that we have annihilated the vast majority of them the humans out to become incredibly disorganized.In that chaos we will use all the might we have to destroy all of their little sects around our empire and put an end to all of this.

    "Go ahead my little wolf."Setanta acts nervously as if his mind is undecided about whether he should be having this conversation or not.So Scáthach says, "You're uncharacteristically hesitating. So is this another one of your love ballots, because if so I would really like you to sing it to me again..""I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO FORGET ABOUT THAT!"Giggling, she says, "How could I ever forget something so cute?

I shall live this life of mine to the fullest!

    Throughout the area loud trumpets play, and then we hear, "His highest and the greatest power in all of the empire. High king Conchobar Ó Danu."Soon after this is said together with a group of armed Fanalis, a man with an average build walks through the most extravagant door in the room, and descends onto us all.He is covered from head to toe, in fine cloth and jewellery. This all gives him a great presence of authority and power, but even with all of this plus his guards, he doesn't grab my attention as much as Scáthach and Lugh did.He might be the high king but I feel like his existence doesn't command the authority of such a title.However, one thing that does is how quickly both Lugh and Scáthach's knees dropped when they saw him. This quickly made everyone else in the room including me follow suit, even Setanta did so without making a single scene.Moving over to Lugh and Scáthach, he reaches out his arm and says, "Now everyone rise."He lifts both Lugh and Scáthach up and eve
