-Break-As the party rages on behind me I sit in a secluded area and eat food slowly. Every single bite I take makes me hurt even more, "This is really bad.""What is?" I hear from my side.Turning to face Suzuka, I put on my best facade and say, "It isn't nice to sneak up on people like that."Shyly, she says, "Sorry Orb."Noticing her strange body language, I say, "Is something wrong?""It is just that there are too many people Orb, I can't deal with this I am going to have a heart attack. Please help me!!"Hearing her heart beating louder and louder, I say, "Ok then let's go together.""Wait Orb, I need to emotionally prepare myself."Standing up, I say, "Hesitation is defeat!!!"Straightening up, she says, "Your right!!"Grabbing her hand, I say, "Now let's go look around."As I jolt out of the area I am in, I look and then say, "If we go around, we might find a place where we can insert you into a conversation. Over there is Maple, maybe she could help.""No, No, No, No, NO, she

Running around I turn and look for a conversation I can insert Suzuka in. No not that one, those guys are way too deep in conversation, what about them? no; they are talking about things I would rather not have Suzuka hear.But soon I see a target and say, "There!"Φ "What is it Buloke?""Jute I just wanted to apologize."Being coy, I say, "Whatever could you mean?""I should have noticed the fact you cut your hair shorter, that's my fault."Behind me Holly, Juniper, and Acadia whisper, "Now they are going to passionately kiss and make up.""Just like always.""It is standard practice at this point."Turning around, I shout, "SHUT UP. Now Buloke, continue.""All in all, Jute, I just wanted to say, I am so sor-." Suddenly Buloke is drop-kicked in the face by Orb, sending him into the ground.Looking directly at me, Orb says, "Hey Jute how are you doing?""Orb, what the hell was that?""I just needed to talk to you as soon as possible, it definitely wasn't revenge for him beating the sh

-Break-Talking in the ambience of everything around me, I say, "How peaceful this is."Suddenly I feel something soft crash into me, then moments later I hear, "You three are cuddling up without me!""There she is to ruin the day!""Sorry Atalanta me and Orb were just taking a moment to rest."Hugging Suzuka, Atalanta says, "I know you wouldn't leave me out due to mal intent, but I am sure Orb would.""Your right, that sounds exactly like something I would do."Draping her body over Cyrus, she says, "See how much of a bully Orb is, save me, Cyrus!"Suzuka says, "And he is a manwhore!"They both start to chant, "Bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore!""Hey, stop slandering my name you two!!"Puffing her cheeks and turning her face away, Atalanta says, "Cyrus tell the doggy I won't be talking to him for the foreseeable future.""That sounds perfectly fine to me."Crying she says, "I hate you!!!!"Staring at her, I say, "You are acting a little looser than u

As she finishes speaking a bad feeling washes over my body. This girl is trouble I can feel it in my bones, but more than that the little girl shaking in arms reminds me of myself when I was with Orb.Should I run? No, I am no longer scared of anyone! My plan will go off perfectly and I will be safe, so I should just continue."The place where I lived was struck by a disease that killed countless people, and to my misfortune, my mother was struck by the same disease.So me and my father worked day after day to afford medicine for her, the work was intense, it took up so much of my time that the only solace I had was entertaining, a boy and a girl.When we came home from work, she would crack the both of us a smile, then we would stay by her side until she fell asleep.Then when she did, I would run into the forest and pick out Kastabag flowers; it was crimson and navy flower that is said to sprout when lighting strikes soil with high amounts of metal in it. My country was known for it

-Break-Φ Hiding in her corner detach from everyone, Suzuka says whilst freaking out, "SPARROW WAS SO HANDSOME! Looking at his rugged face almost made me faint, if he saw me, I would have died from embarrassment."Calming down, I say, "Well, in all honesty, I was embarrassing myself anyways, I have barely been able to talk to any of these people, I mostly have just been following Orb around like a lost puppy."Digging my head into my knees, I say, "I can't do anything right except fight.""You are being too kind to yourself."Turning my head, I say, "Gozy!""The only thing you can do is fight, but when was the last time you fought, You dumb fox!""But I fell unconscious.""That's your own fault, it is because you couldn't deal with the mental strain, and due to that all your friends had to fight alone, and due to that Cyrus's sister died.""But.""Atalanta lost her arm.""I wa-.""And Orb fell unconscious. You weren't even there to help them when they needed you most you idiot, and no

While the crowd disperses, I sit down and say, "Now I need to get into contact with that creepy old grandma Ai."Iancu asks, "Why would you do that?""Sparrow said he has been spreading a bunch of information about the village of Aplos around, and because of all of that now people are going start wandering into and around Fimbulwinter which is an issue for my plans going forward. I am going to use my favour from that old lady to spread a false rumour that there is no one from Fimbulwinter.""But didn't some of your people get sold to Basileia, people would know they exist.""Basileia is in shambles and very few people can confirm that people from Aplos were even there. So the only question now is how to contact her?"Suzuka says, "I know how to contact her."Turning our heads towards, Suzuka we say, "How?"From her clothes, she pulls out a kaidenwa, then says, "I have this here, a special Kaidenwa that only connects to Ai."Confused, I say, "Why do you have that?""Ai gave it to me an

What does that matter.""IT MATTERS A LOT."The strange boy called Iancu says, "If anything Orb, isn't it nice to have your sister move on? Some of us would wish to have our sisters shipped off to marry someone."Grabbing his cheeks, the nice girl Elia says, "Iancu who might you ever be talking about?"Looking at them I freeze for a second; They're siblings!!!Atalanta says, "But we all knew Maple and Willow were already in love with each other so what difference does this make?""IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. I wanted to go to their wedding and have fun talking to everyone, I wanted to plan a whole lot of events to make it fun and memorable and now I will never get to do that!!!!"Atalanta says, "Orb are you crying?"With a shaky voice, Orb says, "No I'm."Walking up to the

-Break-Continent: Northern edge of Terrafide.Location: FimbulwinterΦ Feeling a tap on my head, I hear, "Guāng wake up."Immediately opening my eyes, I see our leader Casandra staring at me with an annoyed expression. Embarrassed, I ask, "Did I fall asleep?""Like a storybook princess."Beside the leader, the large man known as Thorgrim laughs and then says, "I thought one of us would have to kiss you awake."Even more embarrassed, I say, "Sorry!" While bowing.Beside me, the girl, named Anouk says, "In all honesty, you being asleep made all of us have a better ride since your shaking was bothering the hell out of me.""Sorry.""Could you stop fucking apologizing?"Scared, I say, "SORRY!""DIDN'T I SAY STOP."Thorgrim says, "Well who could blame him Anouk, you are much worse than any beast we've fought.

"Do you know what you are doing?""Getting rid of some annoying little pests who are trying to get in my way."Laeg said, "We happen to be members of the house of Faoláin so an attack against us won't be taken lightly!"In a very dismissive tone, he says, "What does that matter to me? 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, "

-Break-The eleventh battle of this campaign was the sixth battle of the Faoláins and was called the Battle of the Shattering Storm.Location: Castle of PionekΦ From the four walls the human soldiers within the castle repel the beastkin with great results.Through the walls, they have placed a slippery substance to inhibit the beastkin climbing abilities, and they have huge metal gates stopping anyone from breaking through.Finally, they rain fire down on all of the beastkin from above, with arrows set on fire. 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!

"Your father died doing what he wanted to do most in life, protect you. There is no such thing as an empire that's infallible, and your father knew this. 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. Your father was a true man."Siobhán says, "My father was brave until the end."Touching her shoulder, I say, "He was a man worthy of all the love he has ever been given."She cries and holds Áine, who struggles to keep herself together, and soon some of the maids come, and say, "Please let us help you."They guide the both of them out of the way, and I crouch down with my face pointed towards the ground. Then I say, "Nothing I said was false, but did I truly lead him towards a death that actua

-Break-Location: Gorias Castle; training grounds.Φ Charging forth with their weapons in hand, a group of beastkin charge at Setanta, who is holding a wooden stick.They swing at him with their weapons but Setanta easily dodges the lot of them, and as he does he whacks them in certain parts of their bodies while saying, "Peadar Your footing is off, and Colmán don't telegraph your attacks so much, Manus always keep your eyes on the enemy."He then jumps out of the group and whacks them all on the head, and he says, "You aren't humans, aim to split up into small groups when attacking your enemy so you can make better use of your beast traits, don't just rely on the physical strength increase."Sighing, Setanta says, "New recruits are such a pain to train."Feeling something from behind, Setanta puts up his stick to block a sharp axe, and then turning his head he says, "A chameleon beastkin, using your invisibility eh? I like that!"Setanta hits the chameleon in the leg with his stick,

Conchobar says, "It will be some time till we can all sit and talk like this. Now that we have destroyed the leaders of the human resistance."Lugh says, "Our next few moves will be important. 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. We will remove the beasts who have been waiting to pounce on our weakness."Medb then says, "Don't forget you still have to find some time to spend with Péatra."Lugh makes an annoyed face and Medb follows it up and says, "You don't like the new wife I chose for you, I thought she was an earnest cutie, very much your type."Lugh says, "She constantly avoids looking at me, and it feels like for some strange reason she seems afrai

"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? It is cruel to even ask me too.""You're an evil woman.""I am far more divine than you know?""Whatever you say."Suddenly from the distance, Setanta hears a loud noise, and walks forward to say, "I guess the party for the soldiers has finished."Scáthach walks forward and says, "Considering it has been going on for a week, I think it is fair for it to come to an end."Sitting back on the floor, Setanta says, "It used to be commonplace for week-long celebrations and parties to happen when beastkin won battles, but in our recent history the Red branch has their little parties f

Φ Towering over Setanta, Scáthach says, "Now say it."On his knees, Setanta says, "I am sorry."With his legs crossed and laughing, Fergus says, "Serves you right for what you did!"Scáthach slams a fist made of shadows right into his face, and says while giving him a glare, "You are almost 150 years old, and you're still acting so childish."With great fervour, Fergus says, "A true man never loses his child-like enjoyment of life. I shall live this life of mine to the fullest! My vibrant life will become a legacy that will illuminate the future generations.""How cool Grandpa."With an even more intense glare, Scáthach says, "So you do that by fighting with your grandson in public.""YES!"Scáthach looks directly in his eyes, and says, "When you die, I will make sure to spread as many secrets about you, and send that Legacy into hell."Fergus gets on his hands and knee, and says, "Anything but that master. No one needs to know what you know?"Scáthach turns to me and says, "Blackmail
Arc 10.89: Intersection between the future and the past part 4
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
