Legacies of light Arc 10: Tuatha Dé Danann
As waptors surround and head towards me, I create a bunch of ice spikes all around me to take them out.These guys are the fastest predasaurs around here, so if I take them out now it will make my escape much easier.But as I focus on taking them down, an annoying pest attacks me; An atlas eater.Moving away from it, I say, "It must suck to be so stupid."The atlas eater wildly tries to attack me, but it cannot hit me. Even if I didn't have the benefits of spirit arts, my legacy, and the enhanced senses it wouldn't be able to strike me since I have learned its pattern.Moving forward, I prepare to hit its weak spot; the belly.

Create a giant ice block I hit the atlas eaters, which causes them to fly into one another.The eaters, that hit each other start to fight. They are the foolish kind of wonderbeast that flies into a rage at the slightest of provocations, truly easier to manipulate.As I move though, the Kovosaurus tries to slice me into pieces, so I dodge and then move away. I need to deal with this annoyance since it's fast and deadly.Creating a blast of snow to block its vision, I run around it and head towards the altas eaters, and when I arrive I create the biggest blast of ice and knock another

Holding my throat, I feel tears fall down my eyes. Dammit am I really going to die here, and let everyone down.I try to move my hands towards my throat but I am too weak to even do that. Looking up to the sky, I feel sort of nostalgic, like this isn't the first time I have died before.My vision starts to get blurry and as it does, it is like the scenery around me changes.But it is a familiar one of a snowstorm raging overhead, and in front of me, a beautiful woman with black hair is staring at me with a baby in hand.From the way her body is positioned, I can tell she is way bigger than me, yet compared to the background she is still normal size, almost as if I can only see her as big from my perspective.I can't hear her voice, and I can see my body but the face she has when she looks at me is one of sadness.Suddenly the area around me changes again, and I hear some voices."I inverted him hear."Anto?Soon I see Avram over me, and he says, "His throat is swelling, we need to rip

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

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

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

-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
