Distinguish between the wonderbeasts, their distances from one another, and which ones could destroy my head, and which ones can't.Running forward, I look at the Altas eaters in front of me, and say, "You made a mistake by using dump idiots like them."My legacy is running out of power, so this will be the last big attack I have in me so I got to make it count. 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

"Hey, you kidnapped me.""All I did was forcibly ask for your help, Arend."Shocked, I say, "How do you know my name?""I know a lot about you. You struggle to wake up in the mornings and are the 82nd loudest snorer in the mansion, you spend quite a bit of time on the toilet each day, and always have a crude smile despite your body being very dejected.You work the fields most of the time and you mainly talk with Neil, you seem to think Nora is pretty as you stare at her quite often. I have also noted that you seem to be aroused by women's armpits, and over the last 5 days you have coughed 75 times."With green hair and a smile on his face, the king happily goes on and describes me and in response to this, I have a scared face, and say, "Creepy. I need to run away right now."Shocked by this, he grabs me and says, "Please don't leave I need help."Pointing at the nightmare, I say, "Ask him to help you.""I refuse," The nightmare says as he just sits there looking annoyed.The king the

Location: Gorias cityStanding outside the blacksmiths, I walk in and say, "Culainn, I have come to return the chains!"I look around the store and notice no one is inside, and then moments later riding on his little wonderbeast, Culainn comes out and says, "Is that you Setanta?""Yes, it is, and you won't believe what I have to tell you. You see Ferdiad-,""So you got angry and broke the chains by accident.""Let me finish!"Riding his little cuboid-shaped wonderbeast he rams into me, and says, "Don't raise your voice to me!"His blows causes all of the chains I am holding to tumble and fall down on top of me. "That hurt old man!""I hope it did! I explicitly told Ferdiad not the break them!"Looking him straight in the eye, I say, "Well technically Ferdiad didn't break them, I did.

-Three weeks later-Location: Gorias CastleΦ Looking into a mirror, I look at the bruise on my face and say, "It really is bad isn't it, I swear his fist nearly reconstructed my skull."The maid Innéacs says, "In all honesty, I don't really see a change in the first place.""Really!?"

"Do you know what you are doing?""Getting rid of some annoying little pests who are trying to get in my way."Laeg said, "We happen to be members of the house of Faoláin so an attack against us won't be taken lightly!"In a very dismissive tone, he says, "What does that matter to me? I also happen to be a part of the Laoch family, actually, I am the next head Niall Ó Laoch."Ferdiad then mutters, "You mean the strongest warrior of our generation?" As Ferdiad says this I notice he does seem to be around our age, but maybe one or three years older than I am.Picking his nose, he says, "I guess people started calling me that, but it is not like it means anything when I am surrounded by weaklings."I prepare to say something to him, but then Ferdiad says, "Laeg Ní Fergal I need you to calm down and think about all your actions from now on through carefully?"The boy stops then makes a confused look on his face, and says, "Wait aren't you Laeg Ní Fergal?"Ferdiad turns to me, and I say, "

Their attacks are fierce and nonstop which stops even the strongest of beastkin from making any progress.Looking into the distance the human general says, "My brave soldiers we are strong and unbreakable, and that is because right now every man, woman and child is working as one to fight back against our enemies.They have been able to make no progress and soon our allies will come and strike them down!

"Your father died doing what he wanted to do most in life, protect you. There is no such thing as an empire that's infallible, and your father knew this. He wanted to strengthen the power of the empire so you would never have to live in the fear or torment of the Fir Bolg.He spent his life trying to make this place just a little bit safer for all of us, he stepped on a hellish battlefield, and even on that battlefield, he never lost his heart and still went out of the way to protect the young. Your father was a true man."Siobhán says, "My father was brave until the end."Touching her shoulder, I say, "He was a man worthy of all the love he has ever been given."She cries and holds Áine, who struggles to keep herself together, and soon some of the maids come, and say, "Please let us help you."They guide the both of them out of the way, and I crouch down with my face pointed towards the ground.

Conchobar says, "It will be some time till we can all sit and talk like this. Now that we have destroyed the leaders of the human resistance."Lugh says, "Our next few moves will be important. Without a doubt the only people who could have allowed the resistance to work so well would be Aoife and the rest of the traitors, and now that we have annihilated the vast majority of them the humans out to become incredibly disorganized.In that chaos we will use all the might we have to destroy all of their little sects around our empire and put an end to all of this. We will remove the beasts who have been waiting to pounce on our weakness."Medb then says, "Don't forget you still have to find some time to spend with Péatra."Lugh makes an annoyed face and Medb follows it up and says, "You don't like the new wife I chose for you, I thought she was an earnest cutie, very much your type."Lugh says, "She constantly avoids looking at me, and it feels like for some strange reason she seems afrai

"Go ahead my little wolf."Setanta acts nervously as if his mind is undecided about whether he should be having this conversation or not.So Scáthach says, "You're uncharacteristically hesitating. So is this another one of your love ballots, because if so I would really like you to sing it to me again..""I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO FORGET ABOUT THAT!"Giggling, she says, "How could I ever forget something so cute? It is cruel to even ask me too.""You're an evil woman.""I am far more divine than you know?""Whatever you say."Suddenly from the distance, Setanta hears a loud noise, and walks forward to say, "I guess the party for the soldiers has finished."Scáthach walks forward and says, "Considering it has been going on for a week, I think it is fair for it to come to an end."Sitting back on the floor, Setanta says, "It used to be commonplace for week-long celebrations and parties to happen when beastkin won battles, but in our recent history the Red branch has their little parties f
