Legacies of light Arc 3.01: Gaia's Sky
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.

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

Arc 10.130: The final celebration part 2
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

-Break-Location: Culainn's BlacksmithsΦ As we walk through the streets the people of Gorias yell my praises."Setanta the destroyer of the Laochs.""Setanta the future kings!""The protector of all who live within the empire.""Cú Culainn!""The silver wolf of the victory.""Our future hero king.""The one who shall conquer the east."As they speak and celebrate whilst a walk with Aurelius who holds Culainn on his back, I say, "THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!"Culainn says, "We get beaten up, and you grow more famous, life truly isn't fair."Aurelius says, "But we're lucky to be alive at least.""You are lucky to be alive. 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. But never falls.To all those who see this sight fear and awe is put in their hearts as they await for him to crumble down and simply give up, but again and again he rises to strike down more and more beastkin until, the very foes he is fighting start to feel more strain then he does.The rookies, the e

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

-Break-Location: In the forest by the eastern edge of the areaΦ Through the threes a swarm of beastkin dressed in black ropes move from tree to tree, each coming from different directions but all of them converging to the same spot.Soon all of them land in front of a beastkin, a bursting bear beastkin. Then in that moment, they peer their heads up where they see their leader and an entire army of men in front of them.The man who sits at the front of the army says, "Speak."All of the men in the robes shut their mouths except one, who says, "I have located Culainn and the human, they are currently in a small village and are isolated from any other people.""Good, it seems we should be able to carry out Ciarán's request easily enough on the former head of his house."Getting up the man says, "Everyone gets your weapons ready; we will be leaving when the sun sets."As the man walks away one of the beastkin dressed in robes says, "Is this a good idea?"Their leader stops and turns aro
