Legacies of light Interlude 2.36: The Animus part 5
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

-Break-One week laterA week earlier Charles had said words that had raised the resolve of Dónal. But unbeknownst to him such words would have a horrible effect on others who he holds close.Location: Íogair grasslandΦ As I carry my seeds over to the beastkin who are collecting them, I let out a sigh and say, "That goddamned beastkin are eI hear a very familiar scream, so I run towards it.On the ground in front of me, Statilia lays on the floor clutching her cheek. She stares up at a beastkin who is standing over her like he just hit her.Running towards her, I say, "What happened?" But before Statilia can respond I am kicked down by the same beastkin.Standing over me, he says, "If you want to skip the line so fast I can give you a beating instead!"He starts to kick me on the floor, and a familiar feeling comes back to me, the feeling of fear that I had lost towards the beastkin. But with that fear, rage comes with it causing me to scowl at the beastkin."What's that look for hu

Looks of shock and surprise appear on the faces of the people in the area because the tone Charles used was packed with emotions, something they were never used to hearing him do.But one person in the room; Nero sighs, then says, "Charles if a bunch of humans escape what do you think will happen to the beastkin responsible? If you consider how prideful they are it is all but guaranteed that the people who let such insignificant beings escape would be killed."Charles says, "So then you knew Dónal would be killed if we tried to escape."Getting up, I face Charles and say, "Of course I did. Now please tell me what's wrong with it?"Confused Charles says, "Dónal will die!""Why would that be any of my business?""Because he is our friend!""I HAVE NEVER ONCE CONSIDERED HIM A FRIEND!" I shout a Charles bringing him to silence.His hands shake a bit, so I continue, "Nero for the last four years I have been only even talking to that man to get information to help our escape. The truth of t

-Break-Walking outside the hut, I say, "It seems the sun has fallen, I should go and check up on everyone before I head to bed myself.""That sounds like everything has gone alright then," I hear a voice to the left of me say.Turning to my left, I see Mariana who is standing with a smile. "Better than I had expected. Charles really is much more mature than I give him credit for.""But considering how long it took you it must have been a long conversation?""No really, the actual talking part took a very small amount of time, what made it go on for so long was Charles crying. I had to stay there until he fell asleep."With a confused, Mariana says, "Ehh, isn't that incredibly childish."Erratic, I say, "No it was mainly crying! You just wouldn't understand.""Well I am fine with some secrets being forever unknown to me, now it is time for me to go to sleep."As Mariana walks past Nero, he start to become jittery like he is about to do something but keeps stopping himself. But then he

-Break-Location: Animal pensAs we approach the animal pens I see everyone from the campsite. Then when we arrive in front of them, I say, "It wasn't nice to abandon me!"Edward says, "I called you multiple times but you were so lost in your own thoughts that you just blocked me.""So I came to get you," Charles says."Well, so what are we supposed to do no-," I pause for a moment as I realize something, Mariana is standing there even more beautiful than ever.Upon seeing me she hides behind Sandra and says, "Don't look at me!""Why?""The groom isn't supposed to see his bride until the ceremony.""That makes no sense, my parents were always together from the moment he proposed till they drank the other's blood.""Well that's not how we do things on my island, and what do you mean they drank each other's blood are your people demons!""That's simply how we showed our love! But I don't want to talk about that because you look amazing right now."Mariana hides behind Sandra, and says,

Look how far I have come, soon I will be able to tell them without feeling like I am going to die as well."Putting my hands up as I swing on the chair, I say, "I am amazing."But as I do this I start to fall back and scream, "NO!"Before I hit the floor I am stopped by something, and turning around I see Charles."How are you here?"Pushing my chair back to normal, he says, "I snuck in.""Again!""Yes!"Moving over to him, I say, "I missed you too, but please don't go around doing such dangerous things.
