-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

-Break-Φ Staring at the block of ice in front of me, I say, "Orb please come out.""SHUT UP YOU TRAITOR."The twins called Anto says, "Orb this isn't that big a deal, so your best friend got married to your sister. 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. Don't worry Guāng you will eventually warm up to her."Under her breath, she mutters, "I swear why do we have to bring this rookie along?"I say, "Being quiet doesn't work if you ar

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.

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
