Our 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

-Break-Location: Knightmares Changing roomsThroughout the room, encompassed with tables filled with food and drink for all the members of the Knightmares, along with Orb, his friends, and Bendición, almost every person in the room raises a glass with their respective drink and shouts, "WE WON!"Their screams of victory echo around the room, and the lone dragon sitting on one of their benches with Orb's arm wrapped around his tail turns his head to his right, where he sees Orb asleep, gripping Suzuka's tail as well. Then, looking at Suzuka, who is rubbing her knuckles against her temple, Cyrus says, "Are you o-okay?"Turning her body with a smile, she says, "I am doing great!"She moves as if her body is having a spasm before calming down, and Elia, walking up behind her, says, "You're obviously not. Get up, it's time to go."With eyes that hold nothing but contempt, she faces Elia and says, "Uhh? Did I ask for your opinion?""Suzuka, are-en't you being rude?"Turning her head back t

Iancu moves behind the three of them and slaps all of their backs before saying, "Stop being a bunch of whiny babies, everything will be fine. Nothing is worse than being around Elia."They all let out a sigh of relief before saying, "You're right."Stelara says, "What has this girl done to you?""We have an epidemic of idiots who grieve our very souls that run around our country," Maple says as Willow and Suzuka nod behind her.Abbán says, "We wish you never have to encounter such people in your lifetime," while Dumnorix pokes his face with his tail.Stelara says, "It seems like you have lots of competition on being the most annoying now, Avram?""Never was."Kneeling in front of Iancu, Stelara says, "Hey, if you ever feel like you want to become a part of our clan in full, you can just come to the Cursed Heart barracks."Avram, pulling her by the hair, yanks her upwards and says, "He is busy.""I can speak for myself.""Iancu don't trust this prehistoric, withering, skin-rotting hag

Suzuka quickly stands up and walks out of the room as the tension in the air grows heavy over the question.Abbán, after gathering his thoughts, says, "It will not be an issue, I assure you that we beastkin have no intention of causing any trouble. We just wish to walk with our new allies in Niflheim, to achieve what's best for the country.""I think you misheard me. Beastkin, are, hated. Even more so than Nightmares. You have seen all the chaos and strife caused to our people by our very existence, and understand compared to what people think of you, this is extremely kind. If you were to look upon the average Knightmares who have faced discrimination and persecution all their life, and ask them what they think of Beastkin, you'd have to remove all children from the vicinity due to the toxic sludge that would emanate from every word they speak. And in truth, who could blame them?"Abbán says, "I have heard of the stories the humans tell, where they write our entire race off as demons

Looking around the room, Orb says, "Where is Suzuka?"Maple turns her head and says, "Where is she?"Cyrus says, "Maple got up to go get you to calm the situation?""I didn't see her?"Orb and Maple stare at each other, and a wave of sweat rushes over both of them. Stiprais sees them turn to Veekeeris and says, "I think there might be a chance she got caught in it.""Got caught in what?" Maple says, jumping over the table.Vėja says, "The Queen's defence system.""The what!?"Location: Hallways of Soarele BlestematΦMoving as fast as I can, across the paths in front of me, I say, "WHERE IS THE ROOM!"Stopping, I smash my head against one of the walls and say, "I should have returned by now! But it's like my eyes can barely make out the presence of the hallway."Taking a deep breath in and out, I say, "Think Suzuka, think. Remember the path you followed. First, you went straight forward, but then you came across a crossroads, and went left, then you kept walking for a few minutes, but
