Many struggle to simply breathe, but Charles perceivers throughout it.Though the little one tied against him isn't so strong.Jupio starts to cry, so I look at her and say, "Please bear with it."But unable to understand my words, she continues to cry. I look up with a face of worry as I know what is about to happen next.A beastkin walks up to me and kicks me in my shin causing me to kneel, then grabbing my head he smashes my face into the dirt a few times.After he finishes, he pulls me by my hair towards his face, and says, "You see that is how that baby's constant cries feel to my ears. It isn't nice, is it?"Coughing, as I try to get air, I say, "No.""Then make sure I don't hear it anymore, because every bit of pain I feel, so will you."Jupio starts to cry even louder than before, and due to this, I see the beastki

-Break-Later that night Location: CampsiteWith Jupio in his arms, Charles is flung to the floor by a group of people from the campsite.Despite being hit hard, Charles's first instinct is to watch over the little Jupio in his arms.Looking up at his attackers, he says, "Why are you doing this?"The man in front of them all says, "You almost ruined all of our lives today, despite how much better it has gotten for us you tried to throw us into hell.""I simply spoke the truth of what I saw, and is that action enough of a sin to do this to me?"The man grips his hands and looks down then says, "I would be lying if I said your words earlier didn't ignite something in me, and many around me would attest to that.But no matter how truthful they are it doesn't change the fact we will never leave here, this life we currently have is the best we could ever hope for, so if we have to be pets, be property we will do so. Because you're not the only one tasked with protecting a child.""But is

Period: 3rd cycleContinent: Fimbulwinter (Victoria)Location: Orb's MansionA few days after Niflheim was foundedΦ Still the dead of night one grey-haired young man in a room filled with people awakes and opens his eyes.The young boy froze his body on the roof of the room and woke up he stared at all the people in the room, and smiles then says, "Let's get started."Slowly I break out of my ice then using my legacy I freeze my feet to the wall and escape out of the room. Yet when I leave the room I have to continue to manoeuvre because outside the room is also filled with sleeping people.After I brought everyone to Fimbulwinter to start our country we quickly ran into a problem and that is where are we all going to sleep?Due to me not being affected by the cold, I was able to sleep outside, but the only other person who could put up with such intense colds for a long period was Cyrus.Even though I have been moving snow away each day, it simply is just way too cold for everyone t
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. But as I do I hear unknown footsteps heading towards me, it's fast like a waptor but its footsteps are not the same.After stabbing through the eater's stomach with my spear, I instantly move left to prepare for what is coming towards me.But I was too slow as something crashed into me the moment it does, it keeps moving forward and crash me straight through tre
Legacies of light Arc 10.02: The hunter
Using my ears, I listen to my surroundings. 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

-Break-Location: Orb's mansionA few days laterΦ Hopping up from her bed Maple opens her eyes yawns and looks to her left, where her husband Willow lies.Looking at Willow's face I am quiet, then a few moments later with my finger I poke his cheeks and say, "This is all mine," With a smile on my face."His face really is big, and his cheeks are softer than I thought."Grabbing his hands, I say, "He is always wearing the bandages across his hand, so he can keep his hands soft. It makes the animals like his touch more. He really is adorable, makes me want to eat him."Lying down on our bed, I say, "Well he is my husband, so a little nibble won't hurt."Closing my eyes, I open my mouth and try to bite Willow's ear, but I end up nibbling on something bigger.Opening my eyes, I see I am biting his nose. Facing me with his eyes open, Willow smiles and then starts to cry profusely.Shocked, I sit up and say, "I am sorry I didn't think it would hurt a lot, I won't do it again."Standing up

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.

Location: City of GoriasΦ For six days a festival has been raging on within the city of Gorias, and the entire providence of Gorias.The beastkin during the festivals made it a point to dress in clothes far more ornate than usual; wearing flowers throughout their bodies, or dressing in clothes made entirely out of plants.Clothes made out of animals had the motif of using materials from animals their innate beast was hunted or were hunted by as a sign of greater connection.The druids made clothes out of plants that could be modified with their beast blood battle, allowing them to change their designs of the clothes, and throughout the city, designated druids were given instructions to change the clothes of those who passed by.Many wore jewellery such as brooches, pins, armlets, rings, and torcs against the animal parts of their bodies as a way to honour their heritage, while many others decorated their bodies with paint or tattoos which represent ancient stories or those who they c

Minagrain in front of me turns incredibly nervous, and she blushes again and again. Her ears start to move wildly, and she takes her tail and uses it to cover her face. She jumps from one foot to the next and then falls to the ground while still holding her tail.Then she looks at me, and she nods."Was that a, yes?" A say with a face of disbelief."Yes," She gestures towards me.I pick her up, twirl her around, and say, "I happen to be the happiest man around!"She turns more and more red as I twirl her around, and we both laugh together. Then stopping I hold her tight and put the ring on her finger which makes her raise her arm to stare at it, before looking directly at me and smiling.Is it even fair to be this cute? Is it even fair to be this adorable? It is like this little girl has a grip on my soul, and there is nothing I can do about it. I am completely dominated by her."Don't worry Minagrain, I will get this traded for some jewellery for your tail instead of this human tradi

So now I want to go stay with my hot wife.""Well, I haven't been able to meet with my hot wife yet, so we all stay single together!""Don't lump me in with the both of you."Aurelius and Culainn say, "Minagrain," and instantly all the energy in my legs fades and I fall to the ground."Low blow.""Someone needs to take down your ego every now and then."Reaching h

Aurelius looked up at me with a pained and frustrated expression. It is the face of someone who has had to swallow a harsh reality that they would rather reject under all circumstances."What? Is the truth hard to hear? Well as you said people are free to make whatever choices they want, so if she didn't like it, she could have just killed herself couldn't she have.""Setanta shut the hell up!""But you would hate that wouldn't you, you want her to be alive and suffer through all of that, just so you can make her pump out her fifth set of kids that look like you don't you."He raises his fist to punch me, and as he does, I say, "Hit me all you want but understand that the only reason you can is because I let you. You're no different than a pet biting its master in this moment, you can get as sad and angry as you want but your survival demands good behaviour.Even after all I said you still want to live so bad that you won't punish me for my words.

The beastkin rushes at Setanta from all sides, and he fights and fights and fights.Red Branch battle arts; Starflower, Clover, Tulip, Sky flower, Sonic thrust, Camellia Japonica, Passiflora, Morning Glory.Again and again, he uses the forms of his style to strike down the foes who come for his neck, using whatever weapons he can, even his own flesh.His weapons and flesh break down from this constant battle, but Setanta doesn't stop until he starts to push them back.Scared by this Dáire rookies rush back in to help him and his men, and the fight rages on even more.They come towards Setanta again, and again ripping his flesh out which causes Setanta to scream in pain again and again.

Setanta lands and the moment he does, he moves to the crowd and grabs a knife from one of the members of the mob who are all holding miscellaneous weapons. Then he moves towards Culainn and Aurelius pulling them out of harm's way."You ok old man, do you need some worms?"Culainn looks at Setanta and says, "Don't make fun of birds you stupid wolf."Setanta smiles, then gets up and faces Dáire, then he says, "First son of the Lugh Ó Faoláin, next head of the house of Faoláin and the next king of Gorias, Setanta Ó Faoláin. I give you only until the next time I blink to explain to me what just happened to my compatriots."Blinking, he says, "Times up."Setanta glares at all of them with a ferocity that makes many of them except Dáire elite warriors shudder in fear.Dáire looks at Setanta, and says, "Son of Lugh, a human was caught walking in our lands, and will be judged by the rules of it.""This is Biorg land.""But this is the providence of Findias, so it still all falls under the con

"But before that, I will thank the brave warrior who put his life at risk to warn of this traitor's location."Both me and Aurelius look confused, but then the beastkin holding down Daragh let him go and he comes over to Dáire.Aurelius seeing this says, "Daragh, what's going on?""The tunnel we passed through on our way here releases orange dust when one makes lots of noise within it, and as our horses went through it the orange dust was released everywhere showing our pursuers that we had gone off the main path and had taken a shortcut. Any member of the village would be aware of this.""You sold us out?"With a disgusted expression, Daragh says, "Of course I did you human. No matter how I am treated I know not to make deals with the devil that could curse all my people."Daragh walks away and as he does a man comes out from the mob of people throughout the forest, and says, "Good work my son, you have truly shown that it was worth raising you."As his father rubs his head, he makes

Location: Outer edge of the Village of Lann BhuanΦ Grooming the hair of the horses by the riverside, I say, "Sorry for Setanta's nonsense, we are lucky he managed to catch you from the air when we fell off that Clift. But don't hold it against him, the little boy seems to be in a dire strait."Beside me Daragh comes up and looks at the horses, so I turn to him and say, "Do you want to touch one?""Can I!" He says with a bright expression.Picking him up, I hold him near the horse and say, "Horses are very highly perceptive, and will sense distrust. So, make sure to earnestly approach.""I will."He slowly brings his hands close and then touches its head. As he does the horse playfully rubs its head against Daragh's hand, and he looks back at me whilst saying, "He is touching me back! I think he likes me!""You're right about that, it seems he senses what a good man you are."Daragh looks at the horse, and says, "They never let me go near one back at home. Horses are animals which are
