-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

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

The next dayIn front of me, I see the two faces that matter most to me; my parents. I run towards my father who picks me up, and in his arms, I give a kiss to both of my parents on their cheeks and say, "I want to see you both so much."My father rubs my head and says, "I know you do, but you can't come see us.""But without you both I am all alone in this world."My mother says, "Mariana you know as well as I do that is not true, god would never allow it."My father says, "While it might be years till you see us again, that doesn't mean you need to cry. All you need is to cherish those would you have around you."In unison, they both say, "Bye Mariana."Opening my eyes, I rub the tears in them away and say, "Another one of those dreams. I guess my fears of my mother's fate are still bothering me."Sitting up and looking at Charles and Nero, I say, "Well even if it is just a dream I should heed them."Suddenly Nero sits up and starts to throw up, so I say, "Another bad dream?"After

-Break-Location: Paths towards the campsiteΦ Led by a beastkin, a group of slaves walk towards the campsite. They are scared, sick, feeble, and angry.They don't know what to do, should they run? Should they fight? Despite having these thoughts run through their minds they all universally do the same thing; remain obedient.Within this crowd though, a young girl cries as she rubs his freshly put-on brand. It is so sore that she doesn't know what to do except hold it till it calms down, but every time her hands touch it she shrieks.But her crying and shrieking annoys the beastkin near her so he stops the entire crowd of slaves, and then reaches for the kid picking her out and raising her by the neck."Let me explain something to you parasite, you no longer need to make any noise out of your mouth except to breathe. You will never be asked any questions, just given orders because you are a slave, so those pointless cries and whimpers stop right now."The beastkin drops the girl and t
