Arc 10.65: A signal of destruction part 2
On the third of the fourth month of the 132nd year of athbhreith beithíoch calendar, the battle of the shadow serpent began.At 900 hours, Ronald Fuinseog's advance team left to head through the forest guarding the human settlement. They made sure to stealthily pass through their surveillance and made an effort not to spring any traps.No more than three hundred men could have been brought by Ronald as any larger would have been suspicious and ruined the impression that they were on a scouting mission.At 1100 hours, they reached the other side and proceeded to move forward.At 1200 hours, they are spotted by choice and proceed to start running away.By 1330 hours, they are forced into their first confrontation. Ronald's advance force consists of around three hundred men, versus around three thousand humans.Location: Eastern BattlefrontΦ To the east of Ronald's positions is a slightly mountainous area that guards a river further east, where they are pretending to flee.The humans fal

Three hours earlier Φ At 700 hours, a team of beastkin moves into the forest and stealthily assassinates many of the humans who lie there, and as they do, the Lúcogadh army moves through the forest on a predetermined path.By 1100 hours, they have all escaped the forest, and with one hundred cavalry, twenty chariots, and around five thousand infantry. This group quickly moves from where they are and makes haste towards the humans' castle at the most northwestern point of the land.By 1120 hours, they had alerted the humans of their presence, and some small human forces had come and tried to block them. However, due to them all being composed of infantry, the Chariots are sent to deal with them.The general of the army, Ruán Ó Lúcogadh, shouts, "Now dispatch ten chariots to quickly deal with them."Ten chariots are dispatched, which include two heavy chariots, one ridden by Setanta and his allies.Φ Feeling nervous, I hear Setanta say, "Since we are one of the heaviest with the most ma
Arc 10.67: A signal of destruction part 4
Location: Eastern battlefieldΦ Held down by shadows, the humans struggle to break free of Scáthach's powers. They want to escape as quickly as possible and return to the battlefield to aid their loved ones, yet they can’t move an inch.This causes many to fall into despair, freak out in anger, or cry while screaming for their freedom. But Scáthach is nowhere to be found until she appears from the mountain range with numerous plates carrying food.Many of the humans look at her with confusion, but she just says, “Dinner is ready,” in a cheery voice.Using her shadows, she releases all of their body parts with the exception of their legs, then places all of the massive amount of food she has on one shadow table.The humans are very confused by this, and some try to use their newfound freedom to run away, but they don’t move an inch from where they are.“My shadows will only allow you to walk towards me or around this table; they won’t allow you to run away like you are planning.”A huma
Arc 10.68: A signal of destruction part 5
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 and Laeg move in the area around it.”They follow my instructions, but Laeg says, “We have no knowledge of 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 we will also be the heroes of this battle.”Looking into the eyes of Ferdiad, I say, “Th

Φ After Setanta finishes screaming, he passes out and falls off the bull, so I lunge forward and catch him in my arms. 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, you're not!” Laeg says with an angered voice. “Your wounds aren’t light, either. You need to sit down and get treated as well.”With blood dripping down my forehead, I say, “It isn’t that big
Arc 10.70: A signal of destruction part 7
-Break-Φ At 1940 hours, Ferdiad’s scout team comes across something.Φ As Ibar comes to an end, he says, “Why did you tell me to stop?”Hopping off the horse, I say, “Look here?” 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 besi
Arc 10.71: A signal of destruction part 8
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 we 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 the 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 them, allowing one to fight on horsebac
Arc 10.72: A signal of destruction part 9
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 with 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 idiots here, you’re my blood.”“Hehe,” I say, gripping 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 str

-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 no one 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 Re

-Break-Location: Minabród’s homeWith Cambell over my body, I feel pain in my face repeatedly. 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 cowe,r 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 a 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.
