Legacies of light
Description: Moving past the death of his only friend and teacher. Orb heads into the world to find a way to die happy and fulfilled. Though the boy who lives in the present carries the weight of something that lived in the past. A curse, a blessing, a legacy. The story of those who carry things they should never have had to, and the choices of their lives which affect them and the world as a whole.
Three chapters a week.

Usually, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 words per chapter.
Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read.
Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly, I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redoing that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count.
Notice 3: All corrections are done.

Chapter: Arc 11.127: Crush the Demigod part 6Φ I charge forward, and from my hand a sword made from the same substance as my body manifests, and I slam it into the arm of Ten. Her arm is nothing but a collection of her circular blades, and as I struggle against them, cracks appear on my blade before she swings her arm, slicing it to bits.She then kicks up towards my body, slicing it up as shining, bladed projectiles shoot out from her blades. Yet before they reach my head, I manifest flowers and blow my head into the sky.Ten's curse is split into two sections: the ability to manifest a unique energy that can take the shape of whatever she wants, which is mostly blades and clothes, and the ability to look into the future for a bit by staring into her blades.She usually fights by swinging around as if she is lost in a dance, looking at her blades and sending her slashes everywhere. However, that was the fighting style she used when she only had three blades, constantly swinging around her body.With her new shape, I don't know

Chapter: Arc 11.126: Crush the Demigod part 5Φ As Willow walks forward, he says, "When we win, we should request some of the wonderbeasts they have in this country as a reward. A wendigo would be cool, and maybe a firebird as well, but that is a national symbol, so I don't think that would be allowed. Oh, one I really want is a cursed näkk, it saved me when I was drowning by those devil cows earlier, and I wish I could keep one close. I know we have water restrictions back in Niflheim, but I think it would be amazing to keep one so it can help everyone out with its cuteness."Willow continues to ramble on, slowly but surely feel my mind fall into a slumber. It's strange, I have all these worries and fears about everything, yet they all start fading away. For the first time since this started, I feel relaxed, yet it is a familiar feeling. Is this how you felt with Ferdiad Setanta?Φ With his body going limp on Willow's back, Orb starts to drool. "It seems you really were tired. Rest up well. When this is over, we will have lots o

Chapter: Arc 11.125: Crush the Demigod part 4Orlok says, "Really?""Yes, we were able to recognise that there is some blood across the front of her heart that makes all of her other cells beside it start freaking out. If we remove it, the Queen should be able to return to normal. Wadim will be starting the procedure right away," Gheorghe says.Veekeeris adds, "Still, how are you guys going to get the blood out of her heart without hurting her?"Stretching his arm, Wadim says, "We will use the process we use for our internal augmentations. Gheorghe will watch the scanner, Ivana will then slip her hair into the right spots, and using her hair as a guide, the mass from my curse will slip in and remove the parts. It will be a delicate process, but we should be able to get it done. Hopefully."Vėja says, "Hopefully? It still seems too dangerous. A single mistake and the Queen could die. Do you think you could live with that, Wadim, being responsible for ending a legacy as old as our country?"Wadim starts to feel anxiety wash over hi

Chapter: Arc 11.124: Crush the Demigod part 3Angra holding up its large hand, sharpens it's end's and stabs it into Dragoste's chest, then from inside him it pulls out an item, one identical to the cursed item he used to restrain all of the members of the Blestadrac.Dragoste mutters, "You really can hear everything, can't you?""I was once connected to you all, of course, I know. Now let's begin!"Dragoste's body starts to gyrate and move rapidly in front of Angra, and Orb, whose body still feels a surge of pain, stands up and says, "I won't let this happen.""Oh boy, it's far too late for that."Location: Streets of Căderea-DraculuiΦ Rushing through the rooftops at high speed, I tighten my tail around Maple and say, "Your speed boost is incredible. Yet it pains me to not be able to move this fast on my own.""You're already blindingly fast. I think you want too much.""Feeling these tremors of spirit energy has made me realise I am not greedy enough. Right now, I have to admit, in front of whatever that thing is, I may not be

Chapter: Arc 11.123: Crush the Demigod part 2Location: Cursed Sky Army Barrack ofCăderea-DraculuiΦ Surrounded by my advisors, I sat at the side of a table, and on it, a cursed item represented all of the people in Căderea-Dracului as small figures made out of wind. Staring at a group of people gathering into a large pile, I say, "Send help to guide them to the Nolādēta Zeme, where other survivors are.""RIGHT!"Turning my head, I say, "How has the recon unit been with searching for whatever Nightmare has restricted our movements?""No progress has been made. We have been sending aerial units across the skies around the city, but we have not been able to spot a single Nightmare despite using detection curses."Gritting my teeth, I say, "Then call them back.""But what if our enemy is hiding, and the moment our units leave, they will rush out.""Unless our units are traitors, it would make no sense that we couldn't have detected the perpetrator by this point. Either they have a curse that has allowed them to slip by us, or maybe

Chapter: Arc 11.122: Crush the Demigod part 1Looking up at Orlok, Avram says, "What is this?"Elia, walking forward with worry across her face, says, "If that thing they have sealed in their get loose Orb isn't making back here." Turning to Stelara, Elia says, "Why would you even keep something like that in the castle?""The Queen decided it. She knew if it got out, she could stop it. But we shouldn't worry, because Orb, at the very least with Advent, should be able to hold Dragoste off, or even kill him with pure force."Ivana shouts, "ORB DOESN'T KILL PEOPLE!"Wadim says, "Especially someone whom he wanted to meet, like Dragoste."Gheorghe says, "You made a mistake; he is going to get himself killed."Willow, tightening his fist, turns and says, "I will go check on Orb!" Before running away from the room.Elia says, "Don't go, you fool!" Yet he continues to run off without waiting a single second for anyone.Avram quickly throws the machine over to Stelara and grabs the three idiots by the head. "So what? Do you think that boy
