As the ice that appeared from my hand froze Cole, I let out a scream in victory. I was able to restrain him while keeping Maple safe, thank God. I was able not to lose anyone else. I run over to Maple to see if she is ok. I will eventually check on Cole, the frostbite he should get from that will be the start of my punishment for all his actions.I check Maple’s body to see if she had sustained any injuries that needed immediate attention, but she seemed to be fine, It was just the impact that knocked her out. Still, I will have to handle the mental damage this situation brought. Her father died, and if she feels anything like I did when Capti did, it will shatter her heart.As I get up, I turn over to Cole, I see his fist moving to his chest. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!,” I shout as I dash over to him, trying to stop his actions. I see his hand smash his heart and hear the words, “Sorry, Lionheart, I am the worst ever”. He spits up blood as I arrive at his body.“Why would you do this, you
As I looked inside the cave Willow crashed into, I smelt familiar scents from around our village. The cave is extremely well-lit. So this must be their base.I see Maple run up to Willow the 2nd, whose body is slumped inside the cave and kick his body. “What the hell is wrong with you? That could’ve ended up bad.”Willow starts to whimper out of sadness. He can’t understand the heroes song, but I guess her tone was enough.“Maple go easy on him. Without him, we wouldn’t have been able to find this place,” As I say this, I see the light decrease in the cave. I look at the entrance Willow rammed into, and I know that it has started to reform itself, closing up.Seeing this, I walk near the wall and touch it, when I touch it , the wall feels stiff, ruff and rigid, but the more power I put into my hands, the softer it becomes, it’s even softer than the snow on Fimbulwinter, but as I apply more force the wall sucks me in.“ORB!” Maple screams.As I open my eyes, I see I am back outside. Wh
Φ As we enter the main chamber of the tunnels, I see a giant building bigger than the mansion I grew up in in the centre. It has many different bridges coming out of it, leading to tunnels. As I look down, I see men and women drinking and eating, but they all let out a scream in terror due to Willow. Using the confusion to my advantage, I jump off Willow and say to Maple, “If I get overwhelmed, tell Willow to attack.”“Wait,” Maple says, but Orb has already headed straight down. “Did that idiot forget that I can’t speak the saviour’s song, how am I going to tell Willow anything.”Upon landing on the ground, I immediately used my legacy to freeze a large crowd of people in front of me. After that, I used my speed to get close to and knock unconscious most of the people who weren’t frozen from my attack. I then saw one person with a communicator’s hand, and he screamed into it.“EVERYONE THERE IS AN INTRUDER, RETURN TO BA”, I knocked him out before he could finish his sentence.I hear t
Φ As I wake up, I try to move my body and realise my hands and feet are restrained in the cuffs we use on prisoners. I turn my head to see that the rest of my employees are also bound behind me. We are in one of the small caves next to the main area, and I see parts of my body are frostbitten.“Hi there, I heard you woke up,” is what the white-haired boy who knocked me out says, as he walked into the room. Behind him is a large group of the rare prisoners we bought.Seeing them, I realised this legacy must have been from their village. It’s the only reason I could think he would be here. That bastard Cole couldn’t have missed a legacy. This must have been some plan to overthrow me, I swear next time I see him, I am going to gut him alive.But I can’t worry about that right now. My first and foremost concern is getting away from this little brat. “Just a second ago. It’s nice to meet you. I am Sparrow. What’s your name?”Squatting in front of me, the boy says, “A person like you does n

I open my eyes to see multiple people in chains from our village.“Willow, are you ok,” Buloke says.“Except for the chains, I am as good as ever.”He sighs in relief, saying, “That is good to hear.”I then feel a sudden urge and say, “I need to shit and piss right now.”There are buckets over there. With haste, I go over to it and relieve myself.When I finish my busin
While lying in my cell, I am forcibly woken up by the guards who are screaming, “GET UP!” Hearing his words, I jump from my sleeping position and run out the door of my cell. I am then guided to a large area filled with people, where I am then given a plate so I can collect my food for the day.Finally, I get to eat. Last night all I did was wish for some food, and now my wishes have been made through. While thinking back on last night, I wonder how I made it back to my cell. I thought I saw something inhuman carry me, but no one should have done something like that here.“Hurry up, get your food, or I will eat the rest.”Hearing the shouting of the guard serving the food, I run over so I can get some. When I get there, the guard puts a yellowish goop into my bowl. It smells rancid, but I doubt anything will come from complaining about it. I might as well sit down to eat.Sitting on the floor with my back against a wall, I devour my food nonstop. Not caring about either the taste or s
“Hey, Tom.”“What is it, Jerry.”“Should we stop this?” Jerry says as he looks at a strange sight. One of the prisoners is screaming commands at other prisoners, while using them as a chair and a footstool.“We are specifically only instructed to discipline them if they are trying to escape, or anything that could impact their work.”“But don’t you think that prisoner Willow is causing problems?”“Despite his dictator attitude, he is still doing his work, and the other slaves he commands have been working harder under his instructions. Not only that, but he has also made all the other slaves around more obedient; you know what you’re supposed to be doing. From my point of view, he has only helped. Maybe we should give him your job.”“Still, the number of slaves following his instructions increases every day. What if they rebel.”“Even if all these slaves could use spirit arts, I doubt they could escape in their condition, and the boy Willow was moved to an individual cell after this b
One month and a half earlierContinent: TerrafideLocation: Astral PlateauIt has been a few days since we left everyone in the tunnels. Since then, Me Maple and Sparrow have been travelling to Basileia, located in an area called the Astral Plateau.Upon reaching there, I was amazed that there were so many kinds of stones that I had only seen in books. It took every ounce of my willpower not to stop and get lost looking at them. Though I jump off Willow every now and again to pick up shiny rocks that I like, then I use my speed to get back in no time.We brought lots of carts with us, so we could carry food for everyone, but I have started filling them up with random rocks I found. I wanted to take some animals as well, but we had to feed whatever we could find to Willow.Though this place has one major downside, it is scorching so much that I can barely handle it. This must be how people feel going through Fimbulwinter, but the opposite. Maple was pleased to see me being affected by
