Legacies of light Interlude 2.22: A nice guy part 3
-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

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
Legacies of light Interlude 2.27: Light and ash
Three months later-Break-Φ In the entirety of my life, I had never felt warmth, love, kindness only hardship.I was born a rat beastkin. I had inherited the powers of a weak and feeble animal, and because of that the first look I ever received as a baby was one of disappointment.From the age of three, I was expected to be able to say full sentences by myself. Yet I always slurred my speech which was unacceptable for someone of my status.At age five they trained me to be a warrior, but yet when I tried to use my sword on a practise dummy, I would always miss my target and fall, then like clockwork, I would hear, "You incompetent fool!" From my teacher.As I bent my head in disappointment, I would say, "Sorry."Yet it didn't matter, since my progress reflected back on my teacher, so he would strike me right across the face when I apologized."Do you think I need apologies boy? I need results, so do it right. Now again."I tried but then fell again, so I was struck. "NOW AGAIN."The

-Break-Location: Beastkin dormsWalking through the dorms towards the exit, I am suddenly grabbed and put in a headlock by Ryan, who says, "Breast milk I was looking for you."Standing still out of fright I say, "What do you need Ryan?""You see I have been working really hard, and it has been causing me to get blisters all over my feet, so I was just wondering if I could get paid leave."With a shaky voice I say, "But if you go as well the amount of workers will be too little to help us handle the amount of slaves.""Stop being just a fucker, we already have a whole bunch of Merarks, so just ask them to keep watch.""What if they start rampaging and killing the slaves? I won't be able to deal with them.""You're the boss it is your job to deal with them, and I will only be going back home for Samhain. When the celebration at home are over I will come back to relax here at work because if I stayed home father would force me to help around."With a shy head tilt, I say, "I am the boss

5 months laterLocation: Dónal officeΦ Sitting over his desk, Dónal holds his hands against his head in full despair. "What am I going to do, what am I going to do."Looking down at the paper in front of him, he says, "The delivery of those special goods will be any day now, and I don't have the manpower to deal with them. Everyone has gone back home for Imbolc, and they haven't come back yet."Due to his cowardice when all the workers asked for an extra two months off during the Imbolc celebration, he said yes even though just like Samhain it left him to be the only worker left in the plantation."I SHOULD HAVE PUT MY FOOT DOWN!"Suddenly an idea pops into Dónal head which causes him to say, "Wait that might work."Grabbing his hands, he puts them against his head and says, "No, this work is specifically supposed to be handled by the Tuatha de Dann on the plantation, if I let them help it would be a vile abuse of my position.And when all the other workers do come back, what excuse
