Legacies of light Interlude 2: Lion Rising
This story the story you are about to read took place a long time ago, so far ago that many have completely forgotten it but for the two it will never be forgotten for it was etched into their existence by their forebears. For some this story is one of hope, to others it is a sign of tragedy but for the two it was simply just-2nd Cycle of history, the 112th year of athbhreith beithíoch calendar.Φ Pulled forward by horses, countless roofless carriages thread down a singular path. The carriages are rickety, old and have sharp pieces of wood sticking out of them. They are all something that even a man with nothing would still not use.In those carriages are countless people shoved together to fit between the four sort and brittle walls of the carriage, and every single one of them has their hands and feet bound with rope except one.Sitting in the 5th carriage is a boy whose hands and feet are bound with chains, whose displeasure increases with every second.The men beside me strugglin
Legacies of light Interlude 2.01: Without joy they work
-Break- Location: Íogair grassland An almost endless pasture of grass and flowers stretches out far beyond what any one man can see, and right in the middle of that land one boy screams out in pain. Landing on my ass, I scream out in pain and look upon my attacker, in front of me is a moving giant orange sunflower. "What the hell is going on with this bastard." "Do you need some help?" My roommate says as he stands behind me. Despite how sassy his words come across; it is very clear that there was no intent behind them at all. He really makes my mouth feel dry. "Yes, I would like that." "In each of those flowers as you can see, they have clovers growing out of them, and inside those clovers are different coloured seeds, we want those. But these flowers move around a lot while still stuck in the ground, so picking them out isn't simple." Walking forward, the boy stretches out his hand which causes the flower to move, and in that moment with his other hand, he pulls off a clover.
Legacies of light Interlude 2.02: A tasteless warning
-Break-Hearing a bell ring, I jump from my bed and rub the back of my head saying, "Guess I couldn't get up early today."Looking around the room I see my roommate still sleeping. "Looks like he does get tired."Moving over to him, I grab him and shake him while saying, "Get up."But in the moment I get a good look at his face and see it looks sort of bruised. We didn't do any work where he could have gotten these injuries yesterday.Dropping him, I put my hands on my head and then I say, "Wait what happened yesterday? If I remember correctly we were planting seeds, then those fucking animals messed with me then I-.""You finished all your work then we walked back," My roommate says as he jumps up."Ahhh!" I say shocked."We should go, otherwise we will be punished."As I get ready to leave, I see my roommate grab the leaf coverings, so I say, "I swear mine was destroyed.""I fixed them."Grabbing mine, I say, "If I need this again that means today is about to be as bad as the last."
Legacies of light Interlude 2.03: Bricriu's Arrival
-Break-So I waited patiently day after day, to try and find an opportunity to speak to Vul, but I never found it. I couldn't even catch a whiff of his presence.And as I lie in my tent I whisper to myself, "I guess they just must have tightened security around the area, so maybe he is just being watchful of my safety. That would be like him; Vul and everyone else always going out of their way to assure my safety, I am not a child anymore I can take care of myself."Like a scary monster, my roommate sits up, so I say, "What's got you awake?"Ignoring me he stands up and says, "I need to shit.""Didn't even know a golem like you could release waste.""Golem?""Don't treat me like an idi-." Confused I say, "Wait, You really don't know do you?""No.""Well, you see a golem is a-."Getting up my roommate starts to walk away, so I grab him by the shoulder and say, "Hey I am speaking!?""You take a while to talk, so I will listen after I take a shit.""DON'T PISS ME OFF BRAT, you can take a
Legacies of light Interlude 2.04: What they are
-Break-The men picked up all of their scattered and smushed food and ate it even in that state, even the ones who weren't previously eating started to eat as well.Little by little as they ate the food, their worries, and tension vanished as they were raptured by food they would have never eaten in their lives. It was a sight that many would call pathetic, the beastkin around them even snickered at the view. But to these men, it was the best thing they had eaten in a long time, so they couldn't help but smile as they ate with all of their hearts.And once all the food had been finished Bricriu stood up and says, "Now what a wonderful meal that was but we should start getting to the main topic of the day."A beastkin screams, "EVERYONE STAND UP RIGHT NOW!"Remembering the beating they have all just taken not a single one of them wastes a second and immediately complies with the order.Bricriu then says, "We will be going on a rather long walk, to my favourite place here. But I have a
Legacies of light Interlude 2.05: Charles and Nero
-Break-With no energy left from the tears that have fallen from my eyes today, I just walk into my hut and fall to my knees. My mind feels fuzzy, feels heavy, and it feels like it isn't even attracted to my body any more, just a boulder that is hanging on by the string that is my neck.But in a state I am sure is only a few steps away from death, I hear my roommate say, "You should get to sleep, we only have a few hours before we wake up tomorrow."With an utterly despondent expression, the older of the two boys turns his head towards the younger, and says, "Huh."Setting himself, ready to get to bed, he says, "We still have work as usual, but it will be lighter since they tend to about triple our workload the first few weeks new people come."Turning his head towards the ground the older of the two boys says, "But my father's dead, so why would I even both-."My roommate quickly chimes in and says, "Why would your father's death matter right now?"This time with a quiet furry he the
Legacies of light Interlude 2.06: Nero Before
-Break-One year agoPlacing a group of large leaves over the hole, I say, "This is perfect. With this trap, I will be able to catch and kill a boar."Standing a little distance back from the boy Nero, one of the three kids named Claudia says, "I think you should reconsider this stupid plan.""No way, if this works and I am able to hunt a boar they will have to let us start going on the hunts with them. They might even let us go after wonderbeasts.""But.""I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT."As Claudia screaks, another child Aurelius, walks up to Nero and punches him on the head, saying, "DON'T RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAINST WOMEN!""DON'T HIT ME YOU BASTARD." The two boys start to fight falling to the ground as they continue to hit each other over, and over again.Claudia says, "Please don't fight."Standing beside Claudia, the last of the four children Lillian says, "Don't bother trying to stop them, being stupid is built into their heads."Aurelius stopping the fight says, "Please don't say that

-Break-One week after they found out each other's namesJumping up from bed, I open my eyes and start breathing heavily. Holding my head, I say, "Another nightmare."Beside me, Charles asks, "What's a nightmare?""AHHH!" I scream as I am surprised by him. Annoyed I say, "You got to stop sneaking up on me like that, my heart can't handle it.""Ok."I don't really want to tell him I am having bad dreams, so I guess it is time to make something up. With an indecisive tone, "Now a nightmare is-, well umm, it is a dream where you see a black horse, a mare of the night.""I see."Hearing the bell ring throughout the area, I jump up and say, "WELL WHATEVER IT IS TIME TO GET TO WORK."-Break-Location: Íogair grasslandAfter receiving a slap from one of the flowers I am knocked down on my ass.
