Legacies of light Interlude 2.14: Lions mother part 2
-Break-The next dayLocation: Scortha fieldsWith my feet freezing from the cold, I say, "How is this worse!""During the summer months, these fields were ridiculously hot, and now during winter it is stupidly cold."But still, despite my complaining, I continue to do the work given to me. Today we are being forced to poor these sacks of white materials through the fields in which we planted seeds in."Beside me, Charles continues to do the world as well at the same speed at me. I would be happy that I am keeping up with him, but it is not like this work requires any form of ability, it is just pouring this stuff into the fields.As the white powder-like substance continues to pour out of my bag, I look to my left and see that Charles has stopped while holding something in his hands.Instantly panic takes over my body, and I look around, but luckily none of the guards are around us, so I quickly say, "What are you doing!""This fell out of my sack."Within the hand of the boy named C

-Break-"Hey Charles, where are we going?""Some place where you can rest.""But won't we get in trouble?""Don't think about that now just leave the rest to me."Following my words Charles slumps his head on my shoulder and when he does, I can still feel that he is hot. I need to move quickly.After a little bit of walking, I stop and say, "The air here is pretty good and it is not too warm or cold. I think it will do nicely."Dropping Charles I say, "You can sleep for a bit.""But isn't it still daytime?""Don't worry about that just trust me.""Ok," Charles says as he closes his eyes.Sitting down next to a tree watching Charles I let my thoughts run wild.He isn't as alert as usual because if he was he would have definitely stopped me from doing this. In all honesty, staring at Charles right now is terrifying, the fact that this boy could be rendered so weak is shocking.I guess in a way I thought him indestructible like my father, a boy with no limits whose strength and endurance

-Break-Location: Fíodóirí houseAs I knit away at the clothes in front of me, I make sure to keep a constant eye on Charles beside me who is sleeping.Due to the lax attitude, they have taken with us because of their celebration no one is currently monitoring us as we are preparing the clothes but when the day finishes someone comes to check we have met our quota.So I have decided to let Charles sleep while I do his share of the work. If this was any other form of work, this would essentially be impossible for me, but since I am rather skilled at this it is no problem at all!And this rhythmic process helps me think about what the hell happened last night! I am still as confused as I was when it happened, why would he help us, the beastkin go out of their way to bully us whenever possible so this is incredibly strange.But another thing I noticed is that the guys who usually attack us had some bruises on them, almost as if someone else struck them. That can't be a coincidence.Wait

-Break-One month laterLocation: CampsiteIt has been one month since the day we confronted Dónal, and since then something new has been added to our lives to do every week.Looking towards Charles, I whisper, "Go give him the signal?"Walking up to get his food, Charles says, "Popopo, tatatato."Some beastkin in the area laugh at Charles's words, but on the face of Dónal, I can see him smiling with all his might.What the hell is with that smile, stop making it obvious! I knew Charles lacked a sense of awareness but I think I just figured out where he got it from.-Break-Location: Far east of the River Lúide, inside a nearby forestAs I stand in the forest beside Charles, from the forest I see Dónal appear, and when he sees us he runs towards Charles, and asks him, "How are you doing?"Tasteless as ever he says, "Fine."With a bright but disgusting smile Dónal, says, "GREAT!"This interaction now has become our new arrangement. Since Dónal can't talk to Charles anywhere else we hav
Legacies of light Interlude 2.18: A new presence
-Break-One month laterLocation: CampsiteLooking at the newly extended wall of the campsite as the moon shines down on us, I say, "We're basically done now."We have completely taken down the old one and have built in a brand new wall, which was a complete pain in the ass. Especially since a lot of the beastkin suck at speaking, and then they used their poor instructions as a way to punish us.Fucking assholes! But at the very least I don't have to deal with this tedious work anymore, but now that I think about it isn't it getting close to the second season of the year again?Will I have to go and deal with those awful flowers again!? Let's hope that some miracle happens and I get to do some work involving axes again!As I walk back to my hut, I look around and say, "The campsite is at the very least twice as big as it was before."Not only that but it seems the bigger groups have been split up into smaller ones.It is quite obvious that all of this is for new slaves who will be com

Looking at the girl in front of him, Charles's cheeks are red and he has a face of utter shock because in his mind there is only one thought; SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.While beside him, Charles has a slightly more surprized look than usual, that quickly returns to normal as he says, "I see, so this is a girl."Regaining my senses, I look at the girl in front of me who is staring all around the room. She has long grey hair and striking purple eyes. I can't look away, but I do as our eyes make contact.As Charles gets up ready to say something to her, I grab him and pull him back down, saying, "What are you doing?""Going to say hello. You told me it was good manners?""No! Don't do that absolutely not!"They are whispering."Why?"Because the early bird gets the worm, so I can't have you making moves before me."Because that doesn't apply to girls, no need to say hello just ignore them."With pure and wholehearted trust in Nero's words, Charles says, "OK."Now I need to make my move.

-Break-A few months agoContinent: MolstoriaLocation: The island of FloraciónΦ Smokes fills the air, as the fires blaze. In front of me lies my home town, my country set ablaze by the fires of those monsters, and as the fires ravage through the country, all I can do is fall to my knees is despair and hopelessness.In the back of my ear, I hear voices scream, "MARIANA RUN."But my body just stays there staring as my nation burns and as all of the countless flowers and petals that usually shine bright turn to nothing but ash.This utter shock continue until I see them come through the fires the monsters that burnt it to the ground. In one motion I get up, turn around and try to run.But as I do I feel something wrap around my leg and moments later a sharp pain pierces through my body, causing me to release a gut-wrenching scream.I look at my leg and see a green vine with thorns around it, and it traces back to a monster in the distance.Then from the distance I hear, "The layers of

-Break-The next dayLocation: Far east of the River Lúide, inside a nearby forestΦ Holding me by the shoulders, Dónal says, "Charles has been what!?""You heard me, Charles has been taken. The girl has stolen him from us."Φ With my knees feeling weak, I fall to the ground whilst slamming my hands against the floor and scream, "NOOOOOOOO!"Looking up at Nero, I say, "What happened!""He just started talking to her yesterday, and since then she won't let him leave her side. Even now as we are in the forest, he is with her helping build the castle.""Why didn't you stop him!""What was I supposed to do; tie him up and keep him still!?"This is bad, really bad, I had planned for this waste of space to be the one to court the human woman, but now that she is beside Charles she is bound to fall for his adorableness. I need to fix this now, and this waste of mass humans is my only help.Standing up, I put my hands on the boy's shoulder, and say, "Do you remember what I told you the first

My skin tenses up with rage, but Péatra grabs my arms and says, "Right now if you cause a scene in front of everyone it will be a mess and a show of weakness to the people."Restraining myself, I look at Bricriu who says, "Cú Culainn the warrior whose name has been spread far and wide throughout the empire has committed a grave sin.He has aided human slaves in their escape from the empire, siding with the idea that they deserve to be treated as equals to us. He has betrayed both the empire and his blood.These slaves are now loose carrying critical information about our empire and will aid our enemies in upcoming battles. But do not worry as Ferdiad has bested Cú Culainn today, he has overcome the rapid warrior and now stands on top of the greatest talent in the empire!"Walking forward Ferdiad says, "Know this as long as I stand at the head of my generation. I will never allow tragedy to befall you all, I will fight tooth and nail till the east has fallen. So from today on I am Cú D

He brings me closer to him and tightens his restrictions which causes me to bleed, and then he says, "Don't waste your future by doing something so stupid my young king."Laughing a bit, I say, "It is nice to know you care for me, but I can assure you of something your future king can never be restrained from doing what his heart desires.""You may be strong, but don't forget that this is the second time you lost to me.""And since when did a Faoláin allow his weakness to remain open?"Taking in a deep breath, I shout, "RUAIRI!""Beast blood battle arts ultimate art; Fás Glórmhar!"From my mouth, I spit out a swarm of seeds, which all accelerate through their growth forming into massive trees in front of Ronald. I then lunge over towards the humans, and then the boys' troop which is ahead of us, runs down towards us."Ruairí, I need you to take both Laeg and Ibar then get them out of here. The rest of you make sure Donald doesn't follow us."Turning to the humans, I say, "Follow me!"
Arc 10.138: The final celebration part 10
Standing up Scáthach looks to everyone around them, and bows her head saying, "Sorry for the disturbance it won't happen again."Using her shadows Scáthach places Minabród back on her chair and says, "Minabród your human blood is not to blame you are. You failed Ferdiad."Minabród lowers her head and barely holds back tears from coming out of her eyes."But so did I as his master, Setanta as his friend, Minagrain as his sister, and Lugh as his king. We have all failed that child in certain ways, and we will never be able to take back the hurt that has caused him, but you must simply find peace in that.""Why! Why should I find peace in that? I couldn't help him, I couldn't protect him, all I could do was hurt him like a disease, and if it wasn't due to my blood, and just due to me. Then I don't deserve to keep breathing.""Minabród kids are scary, raising a child is scary. You have to teach another person how to survive be alive and navigate the world.I have lived three times your li

-Break-Φ In all of Gorias providence, there isn't a single native or visitor who isn't current in one place.Throughout the city, Druids have gathered together. Many of them wear the crest of the Faoláins, but far more are wearing the crests of each house of the Red branch, including the royal house itself.And under the instruction of Fráech and Findabair, they all say, "Beast blood battle arts; Fás."Which is quickly followed by, "Beast blood battle arts; Bog."Soon a series of giant plants set throughout Gorias grow and, the most important of them which are located near Gorias castle move into shape where they form three large platforms made of plants which are placed on top of each other from biggest to smallest.The bottom and biggest of these three platforms takes up a large portion of the castle of Gorias city, with the other two being smaller, but also extremely large as well.The druid using Bog continues to move and mould the platforms until a staircase is made leading from

In his hands is a basket, but I soon skip over it as seeing Lugh all dressed up does many things to both my mind and my body,His beautiful face is both mature and effeminate, but the aura of his body and his wounds give the impression of a hardened warrior. His muscles which show in his clothes, enrapture my eyes and never let them go.The heavenly smell of his silver hair crushes my nose, and his heavy voice which ties it all together slays my ears. Right now, he is more seductive than any man of the night, and should be locked up for indecency.Covering my eyes, I scream, "THANK YOU!"Aimee then gets up to Lugh's face, and says, "My king, it isn't good for you to see her right now. You should wait until the ceremony so you can be surprized by her looks.""I wouldn't be surprised anyway. Péatra is a beautiful woman, it isn't like she could get prettier if she tried."I let out a gross laugh in response to this, and start to drool. The maids quickly catch my drool as it falls off my

Moving to her, I knock her on the head, and say, "A murder, really?"I turn my head to the boy in the ground and lift him up from the hole.I also see he is tied with rope, so I start to untie him whilst saying, "This is why you don't hang around crazy women like her.""I am not crazy; he is a cheater!"I turn my head to Uathach and say, "I know you're lonely but don't go making up lies about men being in a relationship with you, it is slander."She jumps on my back and starts to bite me, so I say, "Let go of me." While trying to break her grip.However, to my surprise, she is so strong that I can't get her to let go of me. "Spirit energy?""Of course! NOW TAKE MY FURY WOLFIE!"She continues to tighten her body around me choking me out, and as she does this the boy who I was untying gets up and stares at me.Looking at him, I say, "HELP!"But the boy turns and runs away from me, without even acknowledging my situation. So, I just lie there whilst getting choked.In all honesty, gettin

My father moves towards his chair, and standing against it, he says, "For clarity, explain to me again why I should care about those humans?""Because we Tuatha Dé Dannan are not barbarians. You know as well as I do that the growing love, and justification for violence without any benefit is happening everywhere.If everyone's first reaction to anything they don't like is to kill everyone in front of them, it will only negatively impact us as a society going forward. Death has a purpose, and boosting our egos isn't a purpose."My father sighs, then moves towards his chair and grabs a bottle of alcohol, then says, "Hey Setanta, do you know what this is?""Alcohol.""I hate this stuff. It is a substance that makes people stupider, and wilder than they were before. Order is necessary for survive, yet this is something that makes order harder to put in place, not to mention all of the health issues it causes.At one point it became a problem in the providence that couldn't be ignored anym

-Break-Walking with the flour thief beside me in the hallway, I ignore her cries and hum to myself, but then she cries even louder while pushing the bump on her head into me.So, I start to hum much more cheerfully than before while keeping the same tone, but she continues to push into me, so I put her in a headlock and use my knuckle to aggravate her bump which causes her to say, "OWOWOWOW!"She then bites me in the arm, and I say, "You gluttony."I start to pull her hair, but she locks her legs with mine and continues to chow down on my arm, and our fight continues until we both lose energy, and I say, "You're a beast.""And you're delicious," she says licking her lips."I think I might bring forward that execution.""Try me, I will defeat you before you have the chance.""You think you can beat me?""I think I can eat you."We both get up and press our heads against each other, and I say, "You're both a glutton and a liar.""If everyone believes a lie it becomes the truth.""Nu-uh

Φ As I play, I look down at the people below me and laugh to myself. Look at me and be entranced by my playing you fools. Your eyes, your mind, and even your eyes and hearts are forever transfixed onto my playing.Now you beasts, become enraptured by my every movement. You lot get your kicks by insulting me calling me brash and stupid, but is this brash and stupid? Is my playing not the equivalent of the euphoria of sex dripped into your ears!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Soon, I finish and when I do I stand up to bow, then I say, "From the house of Faoláins, we all welcome you here to enjoy your time as members of the Red branch, and as the next king of Gorias I will be here to help you with any problems."I get off the stage and look around at all of the people who are tilting their way towards me. I told them to come talk to me if they had an issue, but it seems like they want to try and get me to talk to their kids or remember their names. What a bother.But soon my annoyance
