All chapter will have titles from now on.
-Break-Hearing a bell ring, I jump from my bed and rub the back of my head saying, "Guess I couldn't get up early today."Looking around the room I see my roommate still sleeping. "Looks like he does get tired."Moving over to him, I grab him and shake him while saying, "Get up."But in the moment I get a good look at his face and see it looks sort of bruised. We didn't do any work where he could have gotten these injuries yesterday.Dropping him, I put my hands on my head and then I say, "Wait what happened yesterday? If I remember correctly we were planting seeds, then those fucking animals messed with me then I-.""You finished all your work then we walked back," My roommate says as he jumps up."Ahhh!" I say shocked."We should go, otherwise we will be punished."As I get ready to leave, I see my roommate grab the leaf coverings, so I say, "I swear mine was destroyed.""I fixed them."Grabbing mine, I say, "If I need this again that means today is about to be as bad as the last."
-Break-So I waited patiently day after day, to try and find an opportunity to speak to Vul, but I never found it. I couldn't even catch a whiff of his presence.And as I lie in my tent I whisper to myself, "I guess they just must have tightened security around the area, so maybe he is just being watchful of my safety. That would be like him; Vul and everyone else always going out of their way to assure my safety, I am not a child anymore I can take care of myself."Like a scary monster, my roommate sits up, so I say, "What's got you awake?"Ignoring me he stands up and says, "I need to shit.""Didn't even know a golem like you could release waste.""Golem?""Don't treat me like an idi-." Confused I say, "Wait, You really don't know do you?""No.""Well, you see a golem is a-."Getting up my roommate starts to walk away, so I grab him by the shoulder and say, "Hey I am speaking!?""You take a while to talk, so I will listen after I take a shit.""DON'T PISS ME OFF BRAT, you can take a
-Break-The men picked up all of their scattered and smushed food and ate it even in that state, even the ones who weren't previously eating started to eat as well.Little by little as they ate the food, their worries, and tension vanished as they were raptured by food they would have never eaten in their lives. It was a sight that many would call pathetic, the beastkin around them even snickered at the view. But to these men, it was the best thing they had eaten in a long time, so they couldn't help but smile as they ate with all of their hearts.And once all the food had been finished Bricriu stood up and says, "Now what a wonderful meal that was but we should start getting to the main topic of the day."A beastkin screams, "EVERYONE STAND UP RIGHT NOW!"Remembering the beating they have all just taken not a single one of them wastes a second and immediately complies with the order.Bricriu then says, "We will be going on a rather long walk, to my favourite place here. But I have a
-Break-With no energy left from the tears that have fallen from my eyes today, I just walk into my hut and fall to my knees. My mind feels fuzzy, feels heavy, and it feels like it isn't even attracted to my body any more, just a boulder that is hanging on by the string that is my neck.But in a state I am sure is only a few steps away from death, I hear my roommate say, "You should get to sleep, we only have a few hours before we wake up tomorrow."With an utterly despondent expression, the older of the two boys turns his head towards the younger, and says, "Huh."Setting himself, ready to get to bed, he says, "We still have work as usual, but it will be lighter since they tend to about triple our workload the first few weeks new people come."Turning his head towards the ground the older of the two boys says, "But my father's dead, so why would I even both-."My roommate quickly chimes in and says, "Why would your father's death matter right now?"This time with a quiet furry he the
-Break-One year agoPlacing a group of large leaves over the hole, I say, "This is perfect. With this trap, I will be able to catch and kill a boar."Standing a little distance back from the boy Nero, one of the three kids named Claudia says, "I think you should reconsider this stupid plan.""No way, if this works and I am able to hunt a boar they will have to let us start going on the hunts with them. They might even let us go after wonderbeasts.""But.""I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT."As Claudia screaks, another child Aurelius, walks up to Nero and punches him on the head, saying, "DON'T RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAINST WOMEN!""DON'T HIT ME YOU BASTARD." The two boys start to fight falling to the ground as they continue to hit each other over, and over again.Claudia says, "Please don't fight."Standing beside Claudia, the last of the four children Lillian says, "Don't bother trying to stop them, being stupid is built into their heads."Aurelius stopping the fight says, "Please don't say that
-Break-One week after they found out each other's namesJumping up from bed, I open my eyes and start breathing heavily. Holding my head, I say, "Another nightmare."Beside me, Charles asks, "What's a nightmare?""AHHH!" I scream as I am surprised by him. Annoyed I say, "You got to stop sneaking up on me like that, my heart can't handle it.""Ok."I don't really want to tell him I am having bad dreams, so I guess it is time to make something up. With an indecisive tone, "Now a nightmare is-, well umm, it is a dream where you see a black horse, a mare of the night.""I see."Hearing the bell ring throughout the area, I jump up and say, "WELL WHATEVER IT IS TIME TO GET TO WORK."-Break-Location: Íogair grasslandAfter receiving a slap from one of the flowers I am knocked down on my ass. On the floor, I say, "OWWWWW."Then walking up beside me, Charles kneels down and says, "Nero, you're bad at this."Charles's words strike me like an arrow right in the head."You lack coordination."A
"Don't get cocky little boy.""Then come and prove me wrong then."The grown man shaking swings his axe downwards towards Nero, but he just stands there waiting for the swing to hit him, and moments before it does he steps out of the way.Then with his axe, Nero breaks the axe of the other man, then strikes the man on the knee with the blunt edge of the axe causing his leg to buckle and fall down.Going around him Nero puts his axe near the neck of the older man and says, "What was that again?"The man I hold starts to sweat and freak out, so I say, "You see this you old fucks, try me again and I will cut you down."As the other men start to freak out, one walks forward and says, "Everyone calm down, remember there is far more of us than him."Holding my axe closer to the neck of the man I have, I say, "Well you can try me all at once."With a light confidence, he says, "Do you really think you could take all of us at once?""Not at all, but I am sure I could break your axes, and if y
-Break-Φ Swinging my father's spear up and around repeatedly I hear my mother say, "Nero what are you doing with your father's spear.""Practicing so I can one day surpass him.""Why would you even want to do that?""So I can protect you Mom, and everyone else here. I won't let anyone in our clan suffer now or ever.""That's wonderful my son, but."Grabbing me by my arm my mother pulls me towards her and says, "But you failed!"Suddenly around me and my mother, the ground is dyed red as it is covered in the corpses of everyone from the village. "Nero, how could you let this happen, how did you let us all fall."With tears appearing in my eyes, I say, "I am sorry.""THAT ISN'T ENOUGH. DO YOU THINK I'M SORRY WILL HELP ANYONE? ALL OF US HAVE BEEN TAKEN, ALL OF US ARE LIVING IN HELL, OUR BODIES ARE THEIR TOYS, ARE LIVES ARE NO MORE THAN TRASH TO THEM, AND EACH ONE OF US WITHERS AWAY. SO WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN? THIS IS ALL YOU'RE WEAKNESS FAULT, I HATE YOU!"Jumping up I snap out of
