"Your father died doing what he wanted to do most in life, protect you. There is no such thing as an empire that's infallible, and your father knew this. He wanted to strengthen the power of the empire so you would never have to live in the fear or torment of the Fir Bolg.He spent his life trying to make this place just a little bit safer for all of us, he stepped on a hellish battlefield, and even on that battlefield, he never lost his heart and still went out of the way to protect the young. Your father was a true man."Siobhán says, "My father was brave until the end."Touching her shoulder, I say, "He was a man worthy of all the love he has ever been given."She cries and holds Áine, who struggles to keep herself together, and soon some of the maids come, and say, "Please let us help you."They guide the both of them out of the way, and I crouch down with my face pointed towards the ground. Then I say, "Nothing I said was false, but did I truly lead him towards a death that actua

"Do you know what you are doing?""Getting rid of some annoying little pests who are trying to get in my way."Laeg said, "We happen to be members of the house of Faoláin so an attack against us won't be taken lightly!"In a very dismissive tone, he says, "What does that matter to me? I also happen to be a part of the Laoch family, actually, I am the next head Niall Ó Laoch."Ferdiad then mutters, "You mean the strongest warrior of our generation?" As Ferdiad says this I notice he does seem to be around our age, but maybe one or three years older than I am.Picking his nose, he says, "I guess people started calling me that, but it is not like it means anything when I am surrounded by weaklings."I prepare to say something to him, but then Ferdiad says, "Laeg Ní Fergal I need you to calm down and think about all your actions from now on through carefully?"The boy stops then makes a confused look on his face, and says, "Wait aren't you Laeg Ní Fergal?"Ferdiad turns to me, and I say, "

Location: Gorias cityStanding outside the blacksmiths, I walk in and say, "Culainn, I have come to return the chains!"I look around the store and notice no one is inside, and then moments later riding on his little wonderbeast, Culainn comes out and says, "Is that you Setanta?""Yes, it is, and you won't believe what I have to tell you. You see Ferdiad-,""So you got angry and broke the chains by accident.""Let me finish!"Riding his little cuboid-shaped wonderbeast he rams into me, and says, "Don't raise your voice to me!"His blows causes all of the chains I am holding to tumble and fall down on top of me. "That hurt old man!""I hope it did! I explicitly told Ferdiad not the break them!"Looking him straight in the eye, I say, "Well technically Ferdiad didn't break them, I did. So everything is ok right?""Don't try and back out of this you brat."Lowering my head, I say, "I am sorry about this.""You're a good enough man to apologise to me, but a good man also knows that an apo

Location: Rooftop of Gorias castleΦ With Minagrain in my hand, I guide her throughout the rooftop while saying, "Sorry about this, I just didn't want some pests to catch wind of our activities."She shakes her head and follows me.Soon we reach the tallest point of the castle and look down. It is a windy night so all of the strings that are attached to Gorias castle play music as we stare at the moon.Holding Minagrain at my side, I stare up at the moon.But as I do, she nudges me a little, and I ask, "Do you want to kiss more?"She shakes her head from left to right, then up and down, then left and right again.Then she gestures, "Are you Ok?""Of course, I am."She then gestures, "You have looked like you have been worried about something in the back of your mind since we met.""Minagrain, nothing like that is happening to me.""Setanta, don't you want me to be your wife? If so please tell me what is bothering you?""Minagrain, I don't want to talk about this thing in front of you.

-Two days later-Looking at Setanta, Culainn says, "I need you to go grab me all of this. It is a list of tools, and metal I need to continue my work. Engraving so much has worn out my tools, and I need to reforge all of the things you broke.""REALLY!?"Aurelius holding back a smile says, "Look how happy he is to be contributing!"Setanta moves to punch Aurelius, but stops midway, and says, "You shouldn't tempt me, or I might accidentally kill you.""Then I will laugh at you from the grave at you for breaking your promise."Culainn says, "Take Aurelius with you. He is quite aware of the things I need."Aurelius looks shocked, but Setanta calmly says, "Fine.""Ehh, are the two of you sure about this?""Stop being a baby and come along," Setanta says as he grabs Aurelius.Setanta drags Aurelius out of the shop, which causes him to whisper, "This might be a good time for me to look around so I can plan my escape."Setanta ears twitch and he turns back to Aurelius, and says, "You know I
