Legacies of light Interlude 2.19: A full proof plan
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. Composing

-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

-Break-Unable to sleep in the hut, I open my eyes, and say, "It not going to happen tonight." Looking over at Charles and the girl sleeping together, I feel anger well up inside me.So I throw a fit in the quiet; look how they get to sleep so soundly while I have to be up here frustrated by the words that were said to me, I swear I wish I could take back all the things I did for them.Suddenly images of Charles flash through my mind, causing me to calm down. Then I say, "Well at least not for Charles."But that girl was being a bitch, not in the Lillian sense, but in the actual sense of the word. I hate her, I hate her so much. In that moment an idea flashes through my mind."If she is mean when awake, then I will just mess with her in her sleep."Getting up, I walk outside slightly where it is still raining, and take some mud from out and put it on my finger. Walking over to the girl, I mumble, "Time for some revenge."Getting ready to smear the mud on her face, I take a good look a

-Break-The next dayI haven't had a single day of true rest since the day my country was burned to the ground. Everything, everywhere around me has been terrifying, it was all so scary that I felt like I was going to die by simply being here.So to survive I had to become something even more terrifying, I didn't want to be hurt so I decided to be the one who hurt, the one who created fear, because if I did I would be able to be peaceful.But it still didn't come, the terror never subsided so my sleep never truly came back. But today I have learned at least one thing, that maybe I at the very least don't have to be scared of the two in the room beside me.Getting up, I look at the boy beside me and the second one over in his section of the room, and say, "This nap was quite nice today."Suddenly Nero jumps up with a look of terror, then starts to vomit over to his left.When I see this I shriek and say, "What's going?"Charles getting up beside me, says, "Sometimes when Nero wakes up

Are you ok?"Mariana finishing her release, looks at me and gives me a thumbs-up with a sickly expression.So I respond with another thumbs up back towards her.Seeing the sun shining outside the room, I say, "It's late, why didn't they start ringing the bell to get us up."Then moments later memories of last year start flashing throughout my brain, and I say, "Bricriu is coming."-Break-Location: On a path towards the centre plainMariana beside us says, "So that's how I found how I got this scar on the back of my knee.""Urgh.""Hey, what with that urgh?""I was worried about you this morning but it seems you're doing just fine, you haven't been able to stop talking since we started walking.""Well, what else are we supposed to do!?

-Break-The next dayLocation: CampsiteΦ Opening my eyes, I get up and look around the room, where I see that Nero has completely moved his body to the corner of the room.Getting up I walk over to him, and ask, "Are you ok Nero?""Forget.""Forget what?""FORGET WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!""The crying or the panicking?""ALL OF IT."With a smile, I say, "I didn't know you could make such expressions.""Erased them from your mind!""Sorry, but I have engrained them within me from now until the day I die.""I hate you.""Good for you then."Gritting his teeth out of anger in front of me, Nero lets out a sigh turns around and says, "Still thank you."Looking at his back, I smile and say, "Accepted.""Hey Mariana, there is something both me and Charles have been keeping from you, but it might be a bit hard to believe.""Well, I have seen a clown with giant white wings before so not many things can faze me."-Break-Location: Far east of the River Lúide, inside a nearby forestΦ With swea

Looking at me Mariana, says, "If we use the owl's memories as a guidepost, we might be able to learn their language. Now to mention all the other information about the beastkin we can get from this.""If we are able to speak and understand their language, not to mention how they work as a group, lots of the different issues we face in escaping would vanish or become significantly easier."With eyes of hope, Mariana says, "This means we really could break out one day."A moment of silence occurs as the idea of freedom rushes into our minds. Suddenly I remember the images of my father's face, causing me to calm down and say, "Wait, don't you think you're getting too hasty? There are a few things we need to work out with this owl.""Like what?""Like why did it specifically show us memories we would want to see? It is like it knew showing us those memories would decrease our chances of killing it."As me and Mariana stare at the wonderbeast, it starts to sweat and turn its head away. The

I sent the kids to bed and stayed awake all night waiting for him in our bed, eventually, he strolled back in, and I instantly moved towards him.Cambell was covered in wounds, so I ran up to him and asked, "What happened?"As I came up to him, I grabbed whatever I could see to put over his wounds, but he shouted, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" And swiped me away.Then he got up and started walking."Cambell, please let me help you!""If you want to help me, stay away and keep your daughter away from me as well. The only reason you get to stay here is because I need you so that my wage stays up, Ferdiad future is all that matters now."I freeze and stop momentarily, then say, "Minagrain is your-."He throws a bowl at the floor beside me then says, "Don't lie to me anymore, or I might just kill you."Cambell moves into our room and locks the door, and I just move beside it then start to cry while whimpering, "Sorry."Our days got harsher from then on.Minagrain and Ferdiad came into the house cryin
Arc 10.112: Ferdiad part 4
He was a rough and harsh man who cared only for himself the entire night. I had learned to wait through it when it came to people like him with a smile.He mumbled countless things to inflate himself as many others did, and I just responded with confirmation and an accepting face as I always did, but then he randomly came to a stop and asked me one question, "Am I better than my brother?"The face he gave me as he said this wasn't one of arrogance or pride, it wasn't one of a man looking for some sick pleasure in taking the woman who his brother sees as property, it was that of a man who was one moment away from breaking down.Seeing his expression I was shocked to silence and didn't answer his question which caused him to tear up and say, "I knew it, even in this moment I can still never beat him at anything."He collapsed in on me and started crying. I don't know if it was the shock of the situation or an instinct buried deep within me, but when I saw this man cry like he had just r

Swatting her away, I say, "I have no more time for the tricks of you snakes!"Pouting, she says, "I have no tricks, I would have you know that I just hate waste, and right now you're wasting your life.""It's none of your business how I live my life.""But my Faoláin blood is just commanding me to fix the misalignment in front of me."Turning to her, I say, "Faoláin blood?"Getting close to me again, she says, "My mother was a Faoláin, the wife of Bricriu.""That's impossible all of the Faoláin's except for Lugh were killed!"Dancing around like a fairy, "She was a woman named Airmedh a beautiful warrior who despite her gender was poised to be the next head of the Faoláin's for a time. The Faoláin head at the time cared very little for tradition. He favoured results. and she had many.Before Medb came there was a good chance she would be the first woman to ever be in charge of one of the four providences, and while many opposed this, many thought it made her the most precious jewel in
Arc 10.110: Keepsake part 3
Looking at me, the boy says, "You should have raised this boy to learn more respect, because that was completely ridiculous.""I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM SOMEONE WHO GOES AROUND HITTING CHILDREN!"I instantly move towards my son and help him up, "Don't worry Kian, mommy is here. Does it hurt anywhere; do you need me to kiss your wound?"Pushing me back, he says, "Stop being so annoying and get off of me you old witch."The boy hits Kian back into the ground, and says, "Don't take that tone with your mother you brat, or I will be making sure you don't get up again after my next blow!"Ryan says, "Why are you here young man?"With a cocky smile, he says, "Wouldn't you like to know?"Emma takes off her shoes and then moves towards the boy to whack him, but Ryan stops her and she says, "Just let me give him one good whack to straighten out his head.""You can't do that, just look at how he carries himself he is obviously some sort of noble brat.""We already have one unruly brat to de

That's why I accepted the request you made that day."Ryan, would you join me for the Laochs campaign?""Brother so far, we have only gone on monster hunting and slave catching with our band. Going to war, especially for the Laoch who have near-suicide tactics wouldn't be sane."Getting on his hands and knees, Cian says, "I know this might sound reckless, but I need the money.""Money? You know Mom and Dad will give you money for whatever you do.""Niamh is pregnant. They were close to kicking me out of the family when I married her. In their heads, they still think their perfect little boy will one day marry someone of high status and bring them prestige, so if they found out I got her pregnant I am sure they would maltreat her or even worse try something against her.So, I need to make as much money as possible and support my new family, and get her, my child, and you away from our heartless parents. I know this is selfish but there is no warrior I would ask to be by my side outside
Arc 10.108: Keepsake part 1
-One week Later-Location: Village of EasΦ I believe in true love.It is something I have always kept in my heart ever since I was a little girl.It isn't for any complex reason in the slightest, but just because my parents were always happy when next to each other.Both of them were strong people by themselves who could have lived fruitful lives on their own. Yet they choose to join together and the reactions that were caused by their union have made so much happiness that even people who don't know them can partake in it.The power of love is something that can bind people together, some think of it as a chain, but I think of it as a string. It is delicate and must be maintained because there is nothing easier to do than to break it.When I see two people who have gone through the effort to keep it maintained my heart just melts. I want that, I really do. So, during my younger years, I would spend my day playing with the little pixie wonderbeasts to look like a majestic beauty mys

"Now as part two of my master plan, I will elicit a second grand reaction from you, and you will become so enthralled that you will answer all my questions. GENIUS, I SAY, GENIUS!""Danu must have blessed you with great amounts of beauty if you're also this dumb.""You think I am beautiful. Oh, you dirty dog trying to seduce me like that.""Women really only hear what they want to," I mutter under my breath.Getting up, she says, "Now as part two of my part two of my plan allow me to dance on your spine and get all of the evil out of your body!""Really how cool, just let me assume the position-, HELL NO!""Why? Shouldn't such an opportunity be appealing to your beastlike senses, you dirty dog.""Not a dog, and I don't like being stepped on by strange girls.""So, you like being stepping on?"Pausing for a moment, I say, "The idea of Minagrain sitting on my face is rather hot, but aside from that I don't care for such things."With a shaky, and surprized voice, she says, "Mother was r

Looking at Ferdiad, I say, "What do you mean fight?""You heard me, now let's start," he says as he lunges at me.I pick up Ibar and Laeg and move away from his attack then plant them on the ground and say, "Do you even know what you're doing Ferdiad!""Of course I do. You put my sister through hell, so I am going to take it out on you."Ferdiad is extremely emotional right now, far more than I have ever seen him. But at the same time there is a rage that hides behind it all, seeing this causes me to ask, "Is that the reason you're doing this?""Red branch battle arts; Star flower."He lunges forward again, and I barely manage to dodge the seven strikes, with three grazing my body.He then tries to sweep my legs with his spear, but I jump up and kick him in the face, and ask again, "Ferdiad it has been a while since we have been able to fight, so show me what you got."He smirks and then charges at me again, and at that same moment, I charge forward.Φ Setanta and Ferdiad begin to cla

"I don't feel like talking to a man such as you," I say while avoiding eye contact."What a mean thing to say, especially since it was my daughter who singlehandedly stopped you from being killed by the next head of the house of Laoch.""I think you have that backwards, Setanta would have killed Niall all by himself.""I am sure he would have if he didn't have giant weights tying him down. If Niall and the rest of his men had all attacked Setanta he would have died protecting the rest of you, I can assure you of that."Spinning my head to face him, I say, "Is there a reason you are pestering me with this?""Not really, I just think you have the funniest reactions."I grit my teeth and then say, "Ok then vanish."Bricriu looks at all my men training and says, "The fact that you a normal beastkin have the authority to train a unit filled with such great talent is amazing. Truly a light in the dark for the rest of the Fir Bolg.Setanta was right to take such a keen interest in you becaus
