I WON'T LET THIS END HERE! I WON'T BE BEATEN TODAY!All the anxiety and all the frustrations in my heart need to be brought forward in this single moment, I need to wield its powers even if it will cost me everything. Even if I have to cheat.I grab the amulet and hold out my hand, and two iron faces appear at a 90-degree angle, shooting the ball up towards the sky as the ball ricochets. "YES!"Yet as my head hangs up high, I see the ball fly towards the sky. Mõõk appears up above, and with a smile, he says, "This is over."With a furious kick, he smashes the ball right into the house, and destroys the king piece behind, smashing it in

Chapter: Arc 11.87: To live as a nightmare part 5Our days continued on with my hatred, and my brothers' fears growing day by day, until we were all handed off in our sphere to respective buyers. It was a quick ordeal that lasted mere moments as we were lifted and dropped into another carriage before we could even comprehend all the words said around us.We soon found a new home in a dark grey cage, where each day they swung against the ball over and over again to break it open so they could collect our bodies. Yet the sphere withstood them, even after all this time, the strength embedded in it by our mother served as a shield guarding us all.Yet the blessing from our mother only made our anxiety deeper. Each day they would crack the faces a little more, and more, until one of them broke, and as the pierces fell, shattered to the ground, our bodies would fill with fear thinking our demise had quickened.Using all the strength I could muster, I made small shields with the anxiety and stress powering my body, trying to reinforce the c

Chapter: Arc 11.86:To live as a Nightmare part 4He turns his head to see me, and looking directly into his eyes, I say, "Why are you doing this?""Think of it as a thank you for bringing yourself all the way towards me. I was able to find a rather exquisite group of nightmares. It seems I will be the hero of our village for some time."Confused, I shout, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"Looking down at mother, he says, "Did you really bring them here and not tell them? Did you start taking some substance that melted your brain?"Struggling to speak as the swords drag her into the ground, my mother says, "Leave them alone."Walking over towards me, he kneels down and says, "The country you're in is called Puhastatõd, the country with the closest border to Blestemate, just past those mountains that protect it. We happen to be known for a couple of things. A beautiful, strong community, great ale, rolling hills, soft wool, some of the best cheese in the world, and for being a great den of disgraced adventurers who get rich by scavenging

Chapter: Arc 11.85: To live as a Nightmare part 3Staring into his eyes, I see them open up in shock as he looks directly at me and says, "You're my daughter."The music playing in the background comes to a halt, and all of the dancing folk quickly turn to look at both of us in the middle of the tavern and stare.The tension within the room becomes so thick that I can feel my bones rattle at the force of all their stares towards me. I try to open my mouth to speak, but fear of everything around me hits all at once.I don't know these people; they're all stronger than me, my mother doesn't know where I am, if I were to run, I would lead them all back to my home. Will I die today?The fear born from all of these thoughts paralyses me in place, leading tears to form in my eyes, yet before they can fall, they are wiped away, and I am soon lifted up even higher in the air, and Clifford says, "No way! I didn't know I had a daughter. This is amazing."The cheers and screams in the room ignite once again, and as the music starts playing, the

Chapter: Arc 11.84: To live as a Nightmare part 2As the laughter from Žudrė and her mother starts to fade out, White smashes his plate on the table and says, "Finish! Seconds please!"Red says, "Go get it yourself; no one is your slave in this house."Yellow says, "If we let White serve his own portions, he will eat it all!"Their mother, standing up, says, "Then let me get it for him."As she reaches for the blow, Žudrė quickly grabs it and starts to run, saying, "Too slow hag!"Her mother stretches her hand across the table to grab Žudrė, but she easily sidesteps her mother and runs back over to the pot of stew she cooked to serve out seconds."Hey, didn't I tell you to stop helping?""Ever since your pilgrimage to Deno, you've been limping. So no more walking than necessary! If you get up and walk, I will never forgive you. And I will cry until all of the water leaves my body and I become a shrivelled up prune."Sitting down, she says, "Stop being so dramatic. I wonder where you get this from."Green, eating his stew, says, "Look

Chapter: Arc 11.83: To live as a Nightmare part 1Yellow dashes forward, and Orb moves to meet him. He dodges each of Pink's strikes as he pushes him self forward to meet Yellow. Yellow quickly moves the ball all throughout his body, as if it is flying around him, powered by its own will.To onlookers, it is as if Yellow's body and the ball are the same, yet the entire area looks like a heap of spirals to Orb. His mind, body, and soul all work in a harmonious unison, allowing him to keep up with all of the moves Yellow makes, and stopping him from getting past, no matter which direction of movement he takes, Orb both meets and stops him."I will end you!" Yellow screams, right before, increasing the intensity of his movements. Throughout his body, little creases and nudges form, making it so that as the ball bounces off each and every one of them, it moves in unexpected ways, sending Orb for a loop.Φ His is getting faster, and move complex. Even when I am trying to work in unison with him, my body simply can't comprehend it all. It'
