Year 1
All I feel are sharp pains throughout my body. How long has it been since I started walking? It could only have been just over a day, or I would be dead. I haven't taken time to rest because I feel I would collapse and fall over if I did.
My feet are numb, my arms are shaking, and I can barely see anything. My ears are about to fall off, and all the liquid in my body is about to freeze.
I feel as though my consciousness could fade at any moment. All I know for sure is the weight of my bag on my back and that I'm walking upwards.
Thoughts run through my mind, like how can snow so white clear and beautiful destroy my senses as it is now? I spent years finding the materials to construct clothes resistant to this cold, so that I could climb this mountain at the end of my life, but it barely is doing anything for me.
I laugh a little at the hopelessness of my situation, but then my throat feels a sharp pain. I can’t even slightly open my mouth in this cold; the moment the cold air comes in through my mouth, I feel as though my organs are about to turn into ice. Still, regardless of any of that, I continue to scale this mountain I must.
My body wants to stop, but I refuse. It wants to give up, but I persevere. It keeps telling me you've done enough, it's ok; anyone would die at this point, but I Ignore it. My legs started to buckle; I fell, it seemed my body had enough of me, and while laying in the snow, all I could think was, how comfy is this? It's even softer than my pillow. I feel the strength drain from my body as I embrace the snow. Is this What it means to be a peace when you die?
But I'm not alone. She is still here with me, so I say the names of my family repeatedly in my mind, Dragoste, Draga, Viata, Intrare. And it gives me strength even if just a little, and I press on even if I can keep going just for one or even two more minutes, it will allow me to give her an even more beautiful sight, and after all she's done for me I believe she deserves that, so I continue to march forward to get a little further.
I go on, but then I feel something under my foot, did I hit something? Looking down I see a child as white as snow.
Shit, what, crap, why is a child here? Even though my body was numb to the bone is still felt shocked by this. I quickly picked the child up to see if it was alive. The child had its eyes closed; so, I tried checking its pulse, but my body was so numb I doubted I could do it, but then my arms started to wobble shit my strength was falling.
I try to look for visual indicators if the child is alive. The child's skin still looks bright, so hopefully, the child is alive. I try to hold the child close to give it heat, but I realise this child isn't cold. It's hot. What the hell is this child unaffected by the cold. As I try to make sense of my situation, I fall to the snow below.
Crap, my strength is gone. What the hell am I going to do, no one comes to Fimbulwinter unless they have some death wish, so this child’s rescue options are non-existent, so what I am going to do.
I feel my mind going blank damn no I can't die like this is what I keep saying in my mind, but then the snow starts to move away from us. Then the snow clears up a path in front of us. Looking around the blizzard is raging everywhere else.
Under the snow, I can see green pastures, and light from the sun started to break through the endless blizzard. It's almost as if the blizzard moved to make way for the sun. the sunlight shines on the path of snow in front of us.
I don't even understand what's happening, but my best chance at surviving is following that before the snow comes back. Even in my old age, I should still be able to do it. I reinforce my body with SE, thinking I must optimise it and not push it past the limit. Then I get up, pick the child up, and walk down the path as fast as possible.
The child's body heat is warming my fingers; I still feel pain everywhere, but by reinforcing it, the pain goes down a bit, but this will lead to even worse muscle fatigue later, still I continue through it all, I have so many questions why is this child here? Why is this child immune to the cold? Why is the snow clearing? But I put them all on hold and continued down the path as quickly as possible, pushing my old bones, and then eventually, I saw a lone house that the snow wasn’t touching. I see the light from the sun shining down on the house.
Seeing this, all I can feel is excitement. This is exhilarating, an old man like me can still have thrilling experiences like this, but this is not the time I think to myself while rushing towards the house with the child. I drop my bag so I can reach home faster. When I arrived at the house, I saw the front door open with a pile of snow outside the front door. I wearily head inside and collapse on the floor, and the only thought going through my mind is that it's so warm.
Crap, it seems I overdid it. My body is entirely numb; my consciousness is fading. No, is this where I die? Damn it; this is so unfair. I wanted to die in peace, fulfilled, but not only did I fail at what I intended to do, but then all these fascinating events happened right before I died, “Damnit,” I say before falling unconscious.
-Break-
Soft, warm, and comfy is this what the afterlife feels like? I think to myself. But really, my ass still itches in the afterlife. I go to scratch it, and I realise I'm on a bed. I quickly jump up and open my eyes. I look around and see I'm in a reasonably big room with a bed in the centre. The room is also quite well decorated, this is definitely the room of a rich person.
One shocking thing I notice is that I'm naked; who the hell undressed me? Who the hell even brought me here? These thoughts run through my mind while sitting on the bed, then I sigh. “Well, whatever, no use to think about, I should go investigate.”
vigorously, I get off of the bed however, I feel a chilling sensation on my feet. When I touched the ground, one thought immediately ran through my head ITS COLD! Going from the warm bed to this cold forced my body to jump back onto the bed. Looking down at what I felt, I saw a pile of snow on the floor but looking at it immediately, I remembered that outside the open front door was one pile of snow.
Regardless, I still need to investigate and look for the kid; I thought when I saw the snow getting off the bed. I looked around for my clothes in the room but couldn't locate them, but I got a chance to look in the mirror, and I thought I might be 78 years old, but my body was still fit as ever. After admiring myself, I tried looking through the drawers in this elegant room.
I couldn't find my clothes, but looking around, I found a set of clothes that fit me; while getting dressed, I muttered, “This place is bizarre,” but weird things are so much fun; I thought to myself with a grin, but now it's time to see what this place is about. So, I open the door to leave the room.
Exiting the room, I look around and realise I'm on the second floor. Then I walk around and see a door completely covered in snow, so I go directly to this unimportant door. Then, as I try to reach for the doorknob, the snow stretches away from the door and turns into one big spike of ice which attacks me. I move back and see the ice turn back to snow.
I try to approach the door again, and when the spike tries to strike me again, I move around just enough so the ice won't hit me, I then immediately try to go for the door, but something pulls me from behind. The giant icicle turned back into the snow and formed into a hand to grab me; then, it threw me away from the door.
When I landed after being thrown, I hit my head against the floor, screaming, “Ouch,” but after raising my head to look at the door, I saw the hand of ice with its middle finger up.
"So, it's like that," I say, irritated, and then I reinforce my arms with SE and run up to the door to try and break it. The hand of ice prepares to intercept me, but I fall on my face and hear a large GROWL, and then I remember, oh yeah, I need food.
I go around the second floor and start opening doors. I can't find any food or a kitchen, but I see a bathroom “no time to think about that now I need food,” so I try to find a staircase to descend, and in one of the rooms on the first floor, I find a kitchen then without hesitation I head to the fridge, but it is empty. "Well I guess I'm dead."
But then I remembered my bag had food in it. I run around looking for a door outside. When I find the one I came through, I realise it's closed. I open it and head out.
When I head out, I see just like before, that the snow isn't close to the house. It is like a circle has been drawn in the area, and the snowstorm rages on directly outside it, but the sun no longer shines now on the house. The snowstorm is raging over the top of the area; looking at this, it’s more like a dome area has been made where no snow comes close rather than a circle. The is no physical object blocking the snow. It's just avoiding this area.
But more importantly, my bag is a little away from the house. I run to it with the excitement of an 8-year-old seeing their pet capis after it left to drink the blood from unexpecting travellers. I rush towards my bag hungry, but after jumping and tackling it, I feel an all but too familiar sensation “It's freezing.”
My bag was almost as cold as the snow storm I was hiking in, and it was solid as a rock thinking. “No, no, no, no, NO,” I use all the strength in my hands to unzip the frozen bag after checking inside I feel a sensation of instant despair all the food in the bag was frozen. My hands and knees are on the green ground in defeat. “CRAP, I'M ABOUT TO DIE FOR THE 7TH TIME TODAY, WHAT THE HELL.”
I got this bag specially made to resist the cold, but while I was hiking, the contents froze. However, then I remember that my most important item is still in there. I rummage through my bag, to find the jar; luckily, it was still ok, at least the most crucial object, the pot isn't frozen. “At least you're ok. I should thank Avram for making this jar, however. I guess I won't be seeing him again."
I brought my bag back inside in utter defeat to see if the heat would defrost it eventually, but I would probably be dead by then. In total despair, while hungry, I circled the house to think of a way not to die. Thoughts going true my head like maybe if I eat my right arm, I might live a little longer, perhaps just select parts of my body, but while walking with these negative thoughts, I arrive at the back of the house, and I see my Eden; a garden.
It's not that big, but the fruits growing from there are extremely large. In hunger, I grab one of these oversized fruits, bite it, and realise how much water is inside it. It's like having a refreshing drink right after eating this massive fruit. The fruit was big enough to do me for an entire day.
After eating it, I fell to the floor and had many thoughts. First, I have never seen this type of fruit anywhere worldwide. Second, did I eat some mystery fruit that could have killed me instantly? Third, the pile of snow irregularly in front of the door was gone. Fourth, the door was closed, so someone had to take my clothes off and bring me to my bed. Fifth, where is the child? It just disappeared, and finally, this aftertaste IS GARBAGE!
It tastes like someone took a pile of dragon shit and sprinkled it with bugs. Oh GOD, who made this? I tried spiting to see if I could get this taste off my tongue. I can't take this; it is so bad that I feel my mind fading "oh no, not again; crap, I'm about to pass out."
-Break-
Walking up I say, “Crap, I guess this is what is meant by the equivalent exchange,” while I look at the small garden with these large fruits.
How long was I out? Wait how am I supposed to tell the time. I just realised that I can’t tell the time without the sun and with my equipment frozen. Was today the same day I arrived here? Maybe it's been a few days. That's why I was so hungry. I need to find some way of telling the time, but right now, none of that matters. Now that I'm filled, time for round 2 against that door.
Walking inside, I get ready to walk towards the staircase but looking upstairs; I see a blue and gold light. Looking closer, it's a pair of eyes. It’s the child. It’s staring at me through the upstairs rails "Hello, I'm Captivant. What’s your name" I say with a smile, but the child screams hysterically and runs away.
Huh, that could have gone better also, did the kid's hair change from white to yellow when it saw me? I should probably go check if the kid is ok. As I get upstairs, I see that the door, which was once covered in the snow, is now open with the snow gone, “so I see you've run from my furry,” but while looking at the door, I see at the side of my eye the kid looking at me again, its hair is white again strange but no time for that now because is the second time the charm, so I try again “hello I'm Captivant what's your.”
It runs screaming yet again, and the child's hair change from white to yellow as it ran I guess I should leave the kid to run, but I have some questions I want to ask.
I eagerly walk towards where the kid is. It wasn't hard to find it because of the kids screaming. As I approached, the kid began running faster. Still, being a child, it really can't get that much farther than me, so I catch up in no time, and each time I get close, I try to start a conversation, but the kid keeps running away.
I should probably stop because I'm not getting anywhere, but this reminds me of when I used to chase my son and daughter when they were young, so I can't help but enjoy this.
After chasing the child for a while, I conclude that a kid this action must be healthy, and it seems the kid is deathly afraid of me. I didn't think anything I could do today would get me any results, so I stopped chasing the kid and screamed at max volume, saying, “I will not harm you, so you want to be friends? This invitation lasts until I'm dead.”
When I finish saying that I go fetch my jar, and return to the room I woke up in. Today has been a long day for an old man, and I'm tired, so I head to bed then look at the jar and say, “Honey it seems me and you get to have one final journey together.”
It’s morning, I think to myself as I wake up, or evening, or night, in all honesty, I have no idea which it is, but no time for that. It’s a new day for me, time to explore. So I put on the clothes I have claimed as my own, say good morning to my darling and set out first; I check the kid’s door.The snow has yet to return to the child’s door, so I open it and see that it’s very much a kid’s room. On the bed in the room, I go up close and see the kid sleeping. After getting a good look at the kid, I concluded it couldn’t be any older than five or six years. Its hair is also white again.I should also check its gender; however, I don’t want to strip a kid. Hence, I decide to leave before the kid wakes up and gets an even worse opinion of me. Closing the door of the kid’s room, I go look around.On the second floor, I found a lot of empty rooms with nothing in them though they all look well-kept. I found a study and what I believe is a walk-in closet with many females and a few male gar
Ten months later“Do we only exist to suffer,” this is the only thought that goes through my head as I get up from the floor. I can’t keep doing this. It’s been almost two thousand combinations I am about to go insane!But the worst part is that these fruits are super nutritious. It’s making me healthier. My sense of taste is sharper than it ever was, so I can feel that disgusting aftertaste even more. The only way solace I have, is the shower I take at times to relieve stress, but the water has no temperature, so it’s just pressure.Though I have been making some progress on one front, the kid has been staring at me from a closer and closer distance. It’s at the point where the kid can stay in the same room as me, as long as I pretend not to see it.Still, if I try to start a conversation, it no longer screams but runs away fast, which has stopped any progress beyond this point. It’s almost been a year, and this is all I have to show for it.Still, with how much healthier I have been
Year 2Two weeks laterWhile sleeping I feel a soft fist hitting me constantly; I try to ignore it and go back to sleep, but then it starts hitting me more, and I hear, “Capti” repeatedly.Still, I don’t feel like getting up yet, so I will ignore it, but then I feel a hard impact on my head.Did that brat just headbutt me; “LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE,” I say as I jump from the bed.Then in the corner of my eye, I see the boy trembling with tears in his eyes. Crap, it seems I scared him, but it’s his fault for messing with me in my sleep again.I guess he won’t learn anytime soon. Oh no, his hair is starting to turn yellow, so I should still apologise. Now in my most soothing voice, I say, “Sorry”, he seems to cheer up after that, so I guess I should start my day.Ever since that day when he asked my name, the boy and I have been talking much more. Well, talking might be a stretch since he goes silent whenever I ask a question or looks bewildered, so it’s usually me just answering his que

The word I see is time.Where do I even begin, to explain the idea of time to Orb is easy, but he loves to keep asking questions, and I am not sure if he is ready to learn arithmetic. Well, I need to start eventually because he will be moving on to tenses, and understanding time is essential for that. So, I decided to go ahead with the explanation.So, as I proceed to give a long lecture to Orb. I explain the idea of time, how we measure it, and the daylight cycle. At first, Or
Year 4“Now, let us begin operation new food,” I say fervently, as Orb claps excitedly beside me.Due to my priorities changing last year, I couldn’t try out the new combinations for the spices and seasonings, so here I am. But I discovered that Orb has a rather sharp tongue, so I asked him to taste each of the spices and seasonings to find out which of the sections I should put them in.This was not by any means a failproof method; We still passed out due to mistakes when splitting the spices up, but it worked out well.I showed Orb the proper amount of spice to put on the fruit. I also made it crystal clear that you shouldn’t mix too many spices; I need to try my best to avoid another poisoning situation.We found four more combinations that neutralise the aftertaste of the fruit, and we successfully found one that made the fruit taste better.“Yummy”, Orb said with delight.“This isn’t just average; It tastes good.”“Orb, we did it!” I say as we both begin jumping with joy.

You have been feeding me like I am a fish lately.”“Well, you need to eat to stay healthy; since starvation is the only thing that can kill an immortal so eat.”I have cared for Capti since her fainted on the floor three weeks ago. But he has been making it hard, he keeps fighting hard back against me, talking as if I am being more of a bother than helping.“Orb, you don’t need to be so annoying about this; I have already eaten.”“More food cannot hurt anyone, so come on, you old man.”“Hey, don’t treat me like I have some kind of disability; I was able to climb this mountain by myself. I am still as healthy as ever.”“You can barely walk now, and have just been sitting on the bed for the last two weeks, old man. Don’t lie to me.”“You underestimate my power watch this,” Capti says as he jumps and does a backflip.

Capti has probably started his hibernation. So, as I slap my face with my hands and say, “I have no time to waste if I want to see Capti. So I immediately head to the study to start my challenge. After getting there, I take a second to take in all my surroundings and realise how many books Capti has stacked away. He did a lot of hard work, so I need to as well. I go up to the desk in the study. It has a giant box with a note on top of it. The letter reads as follows.Hey Orb, how have you been? I guess fine, I probably am n
With a tight grip on my spear, I say, "Red branch battle arts; Star flower."Then I dash forward knocking as many of the enemy soldiers away as possible. I move from place to place striking down as many of them as I can and as I do this, I shout, "I won't let any of you die.""You need to leave Ferdiad!""No way, unless all of you come with me. You guys are my family, and none of you shall die here!"I continue to move faster and faster knocking back their enemies, but due to their armour, I cannot strike a killing blow on any of them.Yet he manages to push many of them back, and he says, "I will slay all of you.""You're far too arrogant for your skill level, and I will show you that now."One of the armoured beastkin gets in a stance that is all too familiar to me. Shocked, I say, "Red branch battle arts!""Clover."The beastkin then lunges forward and is about to hit me with clover, but as his spear comes towards me, Cruadhlaoich gets in the way, and the beastkin sword goes straig
Location: BasecampΦ As I stare down at Setanta's face, I say, "Please wake up."Suddenly he opens his eyes and says, "Laeg you scandalous harlot, I never thought you would try to steal a kiss as I sleep, well then here you go."He kisses me on the forehead, and says, "That should satiate your desires you beast."I prepare to hit him, but then relax and hug him saying, "I am so happy you're ok!"Rubbing the back of my head, he says, "Not even the god of the humans could rip me off this planet so young, never worry about such things.""But how did you even wake up, I was told you would be out for at least two days with your wounds."Setanta jumps all around and says, "I feel amazing so it seems you were off."Grabbing him, I say, "Don't move around your wounds could reope-.Wait they are all gone!"Examining his body, I say, "All of your wounds have healed with no scars.""You guys must have fed me well whilst I was sleeping.""We did, but isn't this a ridiculous amount of healing in su

With tears streaming down his face he continues to hit me whilst saying, "Why, why, why, why, why did you try and kill me son? I loved you, I have always been here for you why!?"Spitting out some teeth, I smile and say, "Two strangers I met today showed me more compassion than you could ever even muster. You're a failure of a man, you're a failure of a father, and I hate you with all my heart scum."Cambell hits me directly in the face again, then gets up and faces my mother who is holding my sister in her arms, and as they cower my father says, "It is your fault witch, you turned my son against me, a stupid whore like you and your insignificant daughter planned this against me."Cambell throws at punch at my mother, and I get in the way defending the both of them. Then looking him in the face, I say, "You won't be laying a hand on these two ever again Cambell, remember that you fool."He
-Break-Those days continued, and as I expected father's abuse got worse with each passing day. He hurt them more and more while leaving visible scar after visible scar, and eventually, they reached a point where neither could leave the house.Minagrain spent every day crying and trying to force herself to speak but it was all to no avail. It just broke her heart more and more, so I hugged her and made her let it all out in my arms.It was horrible that she had to stay in that house all day, never letting anyone else see her. But for me, I was liberated, because now I could move around unfettered with anyone reporting my actions.With this new freedom, came an idea, one that would allow me to end all of this once and for all.Holding a dead fish in my arms, I walk in front of my Hewt's house and say, "Here you go."Expecting it he says, "This is a high-quality salmon, it is good to have you around Ferdiad.""Enough of that, just hand me my rewards."In my hands, I am handed some Red b
My mother removing his shoes asks, "How was your day?""Horrid, why do I have to work for my brother!"My mother says, "I know it's unfair, but even after your father unfairly gave everything to your brother, he still chose to keep you by his side."He starts at my mother and says, "Why did you phrase it as if he is doing me a favour."My mom looks down and says, "I didn't mean it like that, I am just sure that's how he views it."Running up towards my mother's side, I say, "They look down on you Dad, but you're the only reason everything here is capable of working. I know it must suck not getting the right reward for all your effort, but you're still the best."My dad puts his hand on my head and rubs it saying, "Of course you would understand, unlike the rest of the idiot here, you're my blood.""Hehe," I say gripping on my mother's skirt.Breaking my hand from my mother, he pulls me to the table in the centre of the room and says, "My son needs to eat if he wants to grow up strong.
I run as fast as I can moving through the forest with great haste. This is too big, I think I might understand why Lugh saw it fit to bring so many allies with us to this battlefield.Humans who can comfortably move through an area filled with wonderbeasts are insane. Even if they cleared out this entire area beforehand, it is still an amazing feat.Not even us beastkin can overcome something like this without ridiculous amounts of planning. But what is most worrisome is that there were no human corpses anywhere around, so they didn't overcome this place by throwing massive amounts of soldiers into it, they have people with skill enough to do this themselves.As I enter the proximity of our campsite, I start to hear a scream, and say, "Oh no."Moving through the forest, I see that our camp is being assaulted by humans. Few are on their feet, and many of them are on their horses.The area around here is protected by trees but isn't dense with it allowing one to fight on horseback, and

Picking up a piece of wood, I hold it to my nose and sniff it."This smells of food."A soldier of the Faoláin house Liam says, "That little piece of wood."Another Faoláin soldier named Cian says, "Was it part of a box.""You're right. It was probably part of the fleeing humans' supplies, I want everyone to search the area for more, if we can find something with a strong scent we might be able to actually find the humans."Turing my head to Téad, I say, "I need the Lúcogadh to go ahead and see if Ronald has made contact with the humans."One of them says, "We don't take orders from you."But Téad puts his hand up and says, "We will be back in no time."As they leave, I sigh and then say, "Now let's get to work."The beastkin spread out and eventually, one of them says, "Ferdiad over here!"As I arrive besid

He is body is quite battered to the point where I don't think he should be able to move.Ibar coming towards me asks, "Is Setanta ok?""I don't know, I have never seen him this injured before we need to get him bandaged up right now."Ibar looks confused for a moment, so I ask, "What's wrong?""Setanta was far more beaten up when I saw him after falling off the chariot, did his wounds heal.""Nonsense, beastkin need food to heal, and no beastkin could even heal that fast if they had all the food in the world."Laeg coming closer to us, says, "I brought some druids to help Setanta.""Thank you Laeg, now it is time to go and make sure this battlefield ends in our victory.""No your not!" Laeg says with an angered voice. "Your wounds aren't light either you need to sit down and go get treated as well."With blood dripping down my forehead, I say, "It isn't that big of a de
The Slab bull breaks through all of the infantry in his path, allies or enemies it doesn't care and just bursts through to the horror of all those around it.Many run away and try to escape but they are trampled under the size of this 11-meter beast that simply moves through it.Ferdiad looking at me, says, "We need to run now!"But I say, "We can't do that, we need to take it down. Ibar, Laeg move in the area around it."They follow my instructions, but Laeg says, "We have no knowledge on that wonderbeast, I don't think this is safe Setanta.""I agree, the Lúcogadh have beast-catching nets which we can use to make a better strategy to overcome this wonderbeast.""No, if we do that this achievement will be given to them, and the rights to the wonderbeast would be given to the Lúcogadh. But if we manage to take it down earlier not only will we gain all of the achievements for ourselves but be the heroes of this battle."Looking into the eyes of Ferdiad, I say, "This will be our biggest
