Legacies of light Interlude 2.30: United part 2
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

-Break-As Statilla talks to members of the campsite, she smiles with all her heart and soul. She tries to be completely and utterly defenceless as she tries to allow people to come near her heart, but still, she can't help but be rigid, and one man seeing this decides he must do something about it.Moving up stealthily behind her, Nero puts his hands on her waist and starts to tickle her nonstop.As she laughs, she says, "What are you doing Nero!?""You are being way too closed off, let out the beast that I have seen these past three days.""Stop!" She says while laughing."I can't hear you!"As Nero continues to tickle her, she continues to laugh, until she is able to gain enough power to grab him and throw him right onto the ground. Then while she towers over him Statilla starts to pound his head with her foot repeatedly.Nero screams in terror, "Stop!"Statilla with a demonic smile, says, "I can't hear you!"Statlilla continues to stamp against Nero's head for a little while until

Then from behind I am tackled by Nero and brought to the ground.While on the ground, I say, "You bastard you tricked me.""You should have known

-Break-Sometime laterUsing blankets I clean up the blood that is leaking from Sandra's nether regions and as I do, I say, "Sandra everything will be ok."Sandra screams in pain and then says, "I know, I know, but it still HURTS!"Looking at Sandra I notice she is gritting her teeth so I say, "Nero go take one of the clothes from over there and but it in her mouth, or at this rate she will hurt her teeth.""Got it," Nero says as he follows the instructions I just gave him.-Break-Sometime laterLooking directly at the little head poking out of her nether regions I feel a sick feeling rush over me. It feels like I am just going to pass out at the sight of it, but if I do both her and the baby are doomed.Nero who is holding both of Sandra's hands stares directly at me and mouths; you can do this towards me.Feeling a surge of courage that calms the sick feeling, I scream, "SANDRA PUSH!""I am trying!""TRY HARDER!""ARGHHHHH!""ARGHHHHH!"-Break-Sometime laterSandra still strugglin

Everyone in the room stops and looks at me, and then moments later Pluso asks, "Nero I think I might have misheard you, did you just sa-.""You all heard me right Pluso, I said I plan for every single one of us on this campsite to escape."Edward stepping forward, asks, "You can't be serious Nero?""I am dead serious, all of us will leave this place."Edward says, "Please stop this delusion you know such a thing is impossible for us all, we have no plan.""That's where you would be wrong Edward, because for the last few years me Charles and Mariana have been setting the stones that will allow us to leave, so please I want all of you to listen to me."-Break-I told them everything. About our history with Dónal, about our secret classes, and about our plan to escape.As I finish, another member of the campsite; Rolo says, "So that's where you guys have been sneaking off to on the castle days?""Sorry for not telling you guys earlier, but we needed to keep it a secret," Mariana says.An

As we all leave Charles runs right into the room holding flowers and says, "I have returned."Looking at him, I say, "Sorry Charles, but the three of them need some alone time."Disheartened he says, "But I picked the prettiest flowers."Mariana walking up to Charles says, "Just give them to the prettiest person around you then."After Mariana says this she smirks, fully believing Charles will give her the flowers. And behind her Nero looks at her with disbelief at the sheer audacity of her actions.Looking at her, Charles says, "You're right." He then walks up to the oldest woman on the campsite, a grey-haired lady known as Anna, and then says, "Here you go.""Oh thank you, Charles," She replies with a smile.Mariana looks in disbelief, and then asks, "Hey Charles didn't I ask you to give them to the prettiest girl around? Why'd you give them to Anna!""Well obviously because she is." In a serious and concerned tone, Charles asks, "Is something wrong with her eyes?"Mariana makes a f

-Break-Location: Beast pensHiding a little bit away Dónal stares at all the slaves and says, "Now where is Charles?"He scans the area with his eyes, but instead of Charles, he comes across Edward and his men.Infuriated he says, "Those are the bastards that used to beat up Charles, how dare they look so happy! Scum, Scum, Scum, die, trash, die! If it wasn't for Charles stopping me I would have followed through with your assassinations."Returning to looking at the pens, I look around the area and come across Nero and Mariana. Mariana is trying to get closer to Nero, and in response to this, he starts to run away at full speed."I swear those two humans need help. One obviously likes the other and they just keep running in circles. If I was him I would have already had her as my woman by this point."Dónal falls into despair and then says, "Well I would do that if I had a chance, but I am never even going to get married. At best, they will use me as a political marriage chip to some

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!"

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

Φ As Dagda laughs in front of me, I say, "So if you would excuse me."With his same cherry smile as always, he says, "Haha, your jokes are as tasteful as your clothes. Now Medb where is my money?""Money? You mean the financial instrument we have assigned value to for the sake of switching things we have made into items we have collected from our environment and from others through labour, intelligence and ingenuity?"With his smile fading a bit, he says, "Hahaha, yes. Now where is it?""Dagda what really is value? Is it something kings assign value to-,""Yes."Putting my finger on his lips, I say, "OR! Is it the exchange of wills from one person to another, so isn't my mere smile payment enough?""Not a chance, now my money."I get thrown off my balance as he rejects me, and then I lean on him and say, "We have known each other for a long time, and you still don't trust me.""I trusted you decades ago when I invested in your research hoping for a return. But every time you make a re
