"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

    With her spirit energy surging through her spade, Maple digs down into the dirt, and beside her, Suzuka, who has wrapped her tails around her arms to create two giant hands, digs beside her."Maple?""Yes?""What are we looking for?""What went wrong here?""Isn't it just likely that Orb didn't properly remove the ice from the soil?""I doubt that.""Isn't he doing a lot of things at once? It doesn't seem strange that he could have just forgotten.""He is both a workaholic and a perfectionist. He wouldn't make such a mistake, especially when he planned so much on the quality of the soil. And besides, when we started, all of the farming didn't you notice how soft the soil was."Stopping for a moment, Suzuka thinks back, and as it hits her, she says, "I did. It was actually rather easy to bury myself and Cyrus under the ground.""Orb probably dug up all the land to double-check before we started. He didn't make a mistake; something else is at play here."Reinvigorated Suzuka says, "Then

    -Break-Counting down his fingers, Orb says, "Four, three, two, one," and then Senán underground lets out a huge roar that gathers everyone's attention. Then, with a shattershell, Orb shouts, "COME AND GET SOME FOOD!"The people who have been working tirelessly all start to head out one by one towards a series of stalls guarded by the Red branch knights, and together with other soldiers, Orb hands out meals to everyone.When Abbán comes to get his food, he looks down and sees a bowl with rice, a random meal, and some sauce.Then he says, "Where did you get all of this?""From the food stores within Anucroí.""Aren't those used for emergencies?""Yep. But since we won't be having any food emergencies after today, I thought it was a good idea. Besides, you're all working so hard, so you should all be rewarded.""Well, I will enjoy."Taking his bowl, Abbán moves to eat with some of the other Fanalis along with Avaram, Elliot and their respective people.In front of him, Dillion, his brot

    Φ As everyone works all around a certain man, he looks for a place where he blends in the most and in that tiny spot, he starts to till the land like everyone else.He does it in a rhythmic motion, trying his best to copy the movements of everyone beside him, but despite everything, the rate at which he works is far slower than his peers, causing him to lag behind.And when this happens, he quickly moves to others who are working at a slower pace, but still, his output is lower than others.Every time he lags behind, he stares at his arms and moves them. Yet as he tries to move them he sees again, and again, that his coordination between both of his arms is off.The attacks and mistreatment he had suffered as a slave flash through his mind, and the lasting damage it has left on his body makes him wish to hide himself from those around him.But no matter where he goes throughout the area, there is still someone working in a manner that allows them to outpace him, but soon, worse than t

    And looking at them in the distance, Ganthrú hides further away from everyone, keeping to himself.But to his annoyance, two people move up to him, one a man, and one a woman wearing the uniforms of the Red branch knights Morrigan Squadron.The woman says, "Did seeing the little children socialise want to make you stop being a loner, Ganthrú?"The man says, "You're rather good at being a commander, so it would help coordination if you joined in.""Rosemary, Gentia, you're both no longer part of the Red branch knights' general squadron, you're members of Dumnorix strike squad, so I don't want you bothering me."Rosemary says, "You remember on the first day we joined the Red branch, you said we can come to you for everything from now until the end of time.""I don't remember adding that last bit."Gentia says, "Knowing you, it was implied."Rosemary says, "And it would be nice if you could come and fix your reputation.""It doesn't matter if I do or not. My idiocy led the general army t

    Φ Looking at Dumnorix in the distance, I say, "He really can't quiet down, can he?"Avram, with a big hat to protect him from the sun, says, "Abbán, if you keep focusing on him, you'll never know peace.""I guess you're right about that."Looking at Avram and Elliot working the fields, I say, "Elliot, are you sure you can do this?"Struggling to pull his hoe out of the ground, Elliot says, "I might be in my 70s, but it was a rule that all members of the Kritz family need to maintain their health. So, I need to keep on it even after my lady has died."As some kids wave at Elliot, and he waves back at them, he says, "The kids need the few adults from Skydust who still persist to look after them. It would be far too cruel to let them live in this world alone."As Elliot works, I ask, "Do you miss them?"Pausing, Elliot says, "Who might you be referring to?""Skydust. Your people and friends who lived there.""I do. It was a rather amazing place to live, and many of my greatest memories w

    Φ Soon, the boy starts to run off again, and under his breath, he says, "721."Then he locks his eyes towards another beastkin and starts to move towards him without wasting a moment.Φ Sitting on the back of my cow, I look onto the rest of the beastkin in front of me, and say, "Keep working, my little minions.""Hey Callum, get your butt down here and start working like we are.""Oh, but I am, don't you see all of the hard work Ms Milker here is doing?""You can't just misappropriate one of the cows from Anucroí to use for your work.""Oh, but I can, it is called being a druid, but I guess you branchless wouldn't know that!"Φ As Callum mocks his friends in a playful manner, the cow he is riding sees a young boy appear in front of it. He quickly dances and moves while flinging a blue cape through the air, which incites rage within the cow, making it charge forward.Φ As my little Milker charges forward, I start to rub his head and say, "Hey, Milker, you need to slow down, or I am goi
