Interlude 2.44: Dinner with the devil part 3
They’re going to kill Dónal. I need to do something, but what?I am not strong enough to fight them, and getting closer is dangerous because if they spot me, I am dead. I could wait for Charles, but even if he was moving at top speed, it would be at least thirty minutes up and back to get the omega owl.So that begs the question, what should I do?Pausing for a moment, I say, “Should I even do anything?”This whole Dónal debacle will simply make our escape easier, and knowing how prideful those beastkin are, I am sure they will have a big celebration after killing him, which just increases our chances of escape.In all honesty, we know our plan could end with him dying for his blunder of letting us escape anyway, so how is this really any different than that?Unlike Charles, Dónal means nothing to me, so this shouldn’t be an issue. Suddenly imagines of my wedding flash into my mind, and from my head, I take the blue flower dowsed in Nero’s blood, then say, “Dammit.”-Break-Location: A
Interlude 2.45: Dinner with the devil part 4
-Break-The next dayΦ Over his unconscious body, Charles waits on Nero, who is visibly struggling as he sleeps. Charles doesn’t know what to do, so he just sits there and holds Nero’s hand while saying, “I am sorry,” over and over again.He cries and says, “Please be okay, Nero.”But throughout all of his incentive cries, Nero finally opens his eyes and says, “Charles, you’re being too loud.”Φ Looking at me, Charles says, “Nero, I am sorr-.”I pat him on his head and say, “Why aren’t we at work? Isn’t it rather late in the day?”Charles pauses for a moment, then looks down and says, “Bricriu told not one of us to leave the campsite until he returns.”“Well, isn’t that nice of him. I guess if I am awake now, I should go and check on everyone,” I say, getting up and walking out of the hut.“Wait, there is something I need to tell you!” Charles says to me.No time to stop, I just need to move and do. All other thoughts need to cease because if they don’t, I won’t be able to go on.As I
Interlude 2.46: Betrayal
-Break-With Bricriu walking in front of me and Nero surrounded by his guards, he led them through the doors they entered.Nero's face is without life and without thought because any single idea he would have at that moment would be the end of him.Φ And I stare at him, not knowing what I should say or do. I rack my brain, I think of something to say, but as I do, the taste returns to my mouth and I stop talking to not vomit where I stand.I can still feel her in my mouth. Stuck between the pieces of my teeth. The teeth that she told me about made my smile bright.I shake as I think about what I have done, but then, on my head, I feel Nero place his hand on me.Staring at him, I see that his expression hasn’t changed, and he isn’t even looking at me, but still, he is using his hand to comfort me. Even like that, he still cares for me.Right now, I need to be strong as well.As we all exit, Bricriu says, “Well, this has been quite fun spending time with you guys over the years, but that
Interlude 2.47: Goodbye part 1
-Break-Six months laterLocation: Scortha fieldsWith the little baby Jupio tied against him, Charles works the fields in the blazing heat just like everyone else. Many struggle to simply breathe, but Charles perseveres through it.Though the little one tied against him isn’t so strong.Jupio starts to cry, so I look at her and say, “Please bear with it.”But unable to understand my words, she continues to cry. I look up with a face of worry as I know what is about to happen next.A beastkin walks up to me and kicks me in my shin, causing me to kneel, then, grabbing my head, he smashes my face into the dirt a few times.After he finishes, he pulls me by my hair towards his face, and says, “You see that is how that baby's constant cries feel to my ears. It isn’t nice, is it?”Coughing, as I try to get air, I say, “No.”“Then make sure I don’t hear it anymore, because every bit of pain I feel, so will you.”Jupio starts to cry even louder than before, and due to this, I see the beastkin
Interlude 2 End: Charles Animus
-Break-Later that night Location: CampsiteWith Jupio in his arms, Charles is flung to the floor by a group of people from the campsite.Despite being hit hard, Charles's first instinct is to watch over the little Jupio in his arms.Looking up at his attackers, he says, “Why are you doing this?”The man in front of them all says, “You almost ruined all of our lives today, despite how much better it has gotten for us, you tried to throw us into hell.”“I simply spoke the truth of what I saw, and is that action enough of a sin to do this to me?”The man grips his hands and looks down, then says, “I would be lying if I said your words earlier didn’t ignite something in me, and many around me would attest to that.But no matter how truthful they are, it doesn’t change the fact that we will never leave here; this life we currently have is the best we could ever hope for, so if we have to be pets, be property, we will do so. Because you're not the only one tasked with protecting a child.”
Part 3: Niflheim
Period: 3rd cycleContinent: Fimbulwinter (Victoria)Location: Orb’s MansionA few days after Niflheim was foundedΦ Still the dead of night, one grey-haired young man in a room filled with people awakens and opens his eyes.The young boy froze his body on the roof of the room and woke up. He stared at all the people in the room, and smiled, then said, “Let’s get started.”Slowly, I break out of my ice, then, using my legacy, I freeze my feet to the wall and escape out of the room. Yet when I leave the room, I have to continue to manoeuvre because outside the room is also filled with sleeping people.After I brought everyone to Fimbulwinter to start our country, we quickly ran into a problem: where are we all going to sleep?Due to my not being affected by the cold, I was able to sleep outside, but the only other person who could put up with such intense cold for a long period was Cyrus.Even though I have been moving snow away each day, it is simply just way too cold for everyone to s
Arc 10: Tuatha Dé Danann
As waptors surround and head towards me, I create a bunch of ice spikes all around me to take them out.These guys are the fastest predasaurs around here, so if I take them out now, it will make my escape much easier.But as I focus on taking them down, an annoying pest attacks me; An atlas eater.Moving away from it, I say, “It must suck to be so stupid.”The atlas eater wildly tries to attack me, but it cannot hit me. Even if I didn’t have the benefits of spirit arts, my legacy, and the enhanced senses, it wouldn’t be able to strike me since I have learned its pattern.Moving forward, I prepare to hit its weak spot: the belly. But as I do I hear unknown footsteps heading towards me, it’s fast like a waptor but its footsteps are not the same.After stabbing through the eater's stomach with my spear, I instantly move left to prepare for what is coming towards me.But I was too slow as something crashed into me. The moment it does, it keeps moving forward and crashes me straight through
Arc 10.02: The hunter
Using my ears, I listen to my surroundings. Distinguish between the wonderbeasts, their distances from one another, and which ones could destroy my head, and which ones can’t.Running forward, I look at the Atlas eaters in front of me, and say, “You made a mistake by using dump idiots like them.”My legacy is running out of power, so this will be the last big attack I have in me, so I've got to make it count. Create a giant ice block, I hit the Atlas eaters, which causes them to fly into one another.The eaters who hit each other start to fight. They are the foolish kind of wonderbeast that flies into a rage at the slightest of provocations, truly easier to manipulate.As I move through, the Kovosaurus tries to slice me into pieces, so I dodge and then move away. I need to deal with this annoyance since it’s fast and deadly.Creating a blast of snow to block its vision, I run around it and head towards the Atlas eaters, and when I arrive, I create the biggest blast of ice and knock ano
Arc 10.03: A lost and found home part 1
Holding my throat, I feel tears fall down my eyes. Dammit, am I really going to die here, and let everyone down?I try to move my hands towards my throat, but I am too weak to even do that. Looking up at the sky, I feel sort of nostalgic, like this isn’t the first time I have died.My vision starts to get blurry, and as it does, it is like the scenery around me changes.But it is a familiar one of a snowstorm raging overhead, and in front of me, a beautiful woman with black hair is staring at me with a baby in hand.From the way her body is positioned, I can tell she is way bigger than me, yet compared to the background, she is still normal size, almost as if I can only see her as big from my perspective.I can’t hear her voice, and I can see my body, but the face she has when she looks at me is one of sadness.Suddenly, the area around me changes again, and I hear some voices.“I inverted him here.”Anto?Soon, I see Avram over me, and he says, “His throat is swelling, we need to rip
Arc 10.04: A lost and found home part 2
“Hey, you kidnapped me.”“All I did was forcibly ask for your help, Arend.”Shocked, I say, “How do you know my name?”“I know a lot about you. You struggle to wake up in the mornings and are the 82nd loudest snorer in the mansion. You spend quite a bit of time in the toilet each day and always have a crude smile despite your body being very dejected.You work the fields most of the time, and you mainly talk with Neil. You seem to think Nora is pretty, as you stare at her quite often. I have also noted that you seem to be aroused by women’s armpits, and over the last 5 days, you have coughed 75 times.”With green hair and a smile on his face, the king happily goes on and describes me, and in response to this, I have a scared face, and say, “Creepy. I need to run away right now.”Shocked by this, he grabs me and says, “Please don’t leave, I need help.”Pointing at the nightmare, I say, “Ask him to help you.”“I refuse,” The nightmare says as he just sits there looking annoyed.The king
