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

-Break-Arriving in front of the palace entrance, I kick the large doors into the palace open and shout, "AHMED GET OUT HERE."In front of me, I see a horde of soldiers preparing to leave. Seeing this my hair starts to turn blue in embarrassment, with a whimper I say, "I didn't know so many people would be here."On my shoulders, Anto giggles at me, so I say, "Shut up!" Turning to face the soldiers, I walk up to them and say, "Would you be able to tell me where Ahmed is?"All the soldiers in the room suddenly turn their spears to me, and then one of them says, "Don't use our king's name so lightly you lying scum."I know Anto and Atalanta made a mistake but aren't they a little too hostile? "I think there must be some mistake, I have come to apologize for the actions of my friends.""BE QUIET!! We were told to arrest you on sight, so come peacefully or else."Remembering Raqiue I grit my teeth, and say, "I don't have time for this just let me through."The man in front attacks me with

Φ As the boy runs towards us again he repeats the same move he tried on us before, so I scream, "BRACE," And all my soldiers hunker down with spirit energy flowing through their shields.When the boy's attack hits it turns to ice like last time, so I scream "PUSH!" But as I do I feel something cold at my feet. Looking down I see some of the boy's snow had gotten under our shields then suddenly it all turns into ice spikes, which break our formation slightly."HOLD YOUR GROUND!" I scream trying to get my soldiers back in formation, but in front of us the boy has made giant spikes of ice that are heading towards us, they are so big that they are breaking right out of the building.Seeing them come at me I try to fire a cannonball through my shield, but it is too late as the spikes hit us and completely break our disrupted formation.Many of my men are sent flying back, I hunker down and scream, "STAND YOUR GROUND, MY SOLDIERS, VICTORY IS WITHIN REACH!"As I scream, I see all of the ice

Φ As Easifatan approaches Orb, he runs up to meet him halfway and begins to clash. He is keeping up with Easifatan even with his body in such a state, what kind of monster is he?"All the more reason to end him here." Using my whip, I support Easifatan from afar. Whenever Easifatan has an opening, I strike Orb to make sure he can't take advantage of it, and if he ever tries to move away from Easifatan I can block his exit.Seeing an opening I try to strike Orb in his lower back but he backflips over my whip while kicking Easifatan in the chin, and then immediately he creates a large amount of snow everywhere.Orb made an opening on purpose so I would jump at it and throw off our balance, he got me. The snow Orb creates covers all of the floor around me.Easifatan says, "I knew he still had power left.""Don't worry, whatever this is must be the last of his legacies power, he will be finished in a few moments."Around us the snow starts to shape into walls, they are all so tall that ev

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

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
