-Break-The men picked up all of their scattered and smushed food and ate it even in that state, even the ones who weren’t previously eating started to eat as well.Little by little, their worries and tension vanished as they ate the food. They were raptured by food they would have never eaten in their lives. It was a sight that many would call pathetic; the beastkin around them even snickered at the view.But to these men, it was the best thing they had eaten in a long time, so they couldn’t help but smile as they ate with all of their hearts.And once all the food had been finished, Bricriu stood up and said, “Now what a wonderful meal that was, but we should start getting to the main topic of the day.”A beastkin screams, “EVERYONE STAND UP RIGHT NOW!”Remembering the beating they have all just taken, not a single one wastes a second and immediately complies with the order.Bricriu says, “We will be going on a rather long walk, to my favourite place here. But I have a few surprises

-Break-One year agoPlacing a group of large leaves over the hole, I say, “This is perfect. With this trap, I will be able to catch and kill a boar.”Standing a little distance back from the boy Nero, one of the three kids named Claudia says, “I think you should reconsider this stupid plan.”“No way, if this works and I am able to hunt a boar, they will have to let us start going on the hunts with them. They might even let us go after wonderbeasts.”“But.”“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.”As Claudia screams, another child, Aurelius, walks up to Nero and punches him on the head, saying, “DON’T RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAINST WOMEN!”“DON’T HIT ME YOU BASTARD.” The two boys start to fight, falling to the ground as they continue to hit each other over and over again.Claudia says, “Please don’t fight.”Standing beside Claudia, the last of the four children, Lillian says, “Don’t bother trying to stop them; being stupid is built into their heads.”Aurelius, stopping the fight, says, “Please don’t say t

“Don’t get cocky little boy.”“Then come and prove me wrong, then.”The grown man swings his axe downwards towards Nero, but he just stands there waiting for the swing to hit him, and moments before it does, he steps out of the way.Then with his axe, Nero breaks the axe of the other man, then strikes the man on the knee with the blunt edge of the axe, causing his leg to buckle and fall down.Going around him, Nero puts his axe near the neck of the older man and says, “What was that again?”The man I hold starts to sweat and freak out, so I say, “You see this you old fucks, try me again and I will cut you down.”As the other men start to freak out, one walks forward and says, “Everyone, calm down, remember there is far more of us than him.”Holding my axe closer to the neck of the man I have, I say, “Well, you can try me all at once.”With a light confidence, he says, “Do you really think you could take all of us at once?”“Not at all, but I am sure I could break your axes, and if you

-Break-Four weeks laterIn front of me stands my father as the entire camp around us burns. He cuts down one beastkin after another, with the strength of a hundred men, but then they all come at him at once, and he is unable to stop them.Being held down by the beastkin, my father screams, “NERO HELP ME, FIGHT WITH ME.”But in my fright, I ran and ran far, far away to a place where I couldn’t see the violence that was unfolding anymore.Through the forest where I ran, I feel something drip right down onto my head, and looking up towards the top of the trees, I see it is blood; from the trees, countless dead bodies hang dripping their blood directly onto me and the surrounding area.Then with their mouths, they all say, “NERO, YOU RAN. YOU ABANDONED US, YOU COWARD. YOU GET TO LIVE WHILE WE DIED, YOU’RE NOTHING BUT SCUM.”From my bed, I jump up with a fright, and feel like I am about to puke, but the contents of my stomach are too empty even to do that."Unable to hold back my emotions,

-Break-Two days laterIn the river, I see, right next to Aurelius. We race to see who can reach Lillian and Claudia faster.We swim with all our hearts as we race down the river, but in the end, I lose to Aurelius.He jumps out of the river next to Lillian and screams, “THIS IS THE POWER OF LOVE.”“Yes, yes, you big dumb idiot.”Reaching out my hand, I say, “So what if you won, I will simply win next time.”Suddenly, all three of them stare at me, and then Claudia says, “That won’t be happening.”Knocking my arm away, Aurelius says, “You haven’t forgotten.”Lillian says, “The way you abandoned all of us.”“I didn’t.”“You coward.”“You traitor.”“You fool.”“Die.”“Die.”“Die.”From the ground, I jump up and almost throw up.-Break-Location: CampsiteStepping to the front of the line with Charles not far behind me, I stretched out my hands, and the beastkin in front of me gave me winter clothes. Moments later, Charles was given these clothes by the same beastkin.Rubbing my face agai
