Legacies of light Arc 10.112: Ferdiad part 4
He was a rough and harsh man who cared only for himself the entire night. I had learned to wait through it when it came to people like him with a smile.He mumbled countless things to inflate himself as many others did, and I just responded with confirmation and an accepting face as I always did, but then he randomly came to a stop and asked me one question, "Am I better than my brother?"The face he gave me as he said this wasn't one of arrogance or pride, it wasn't one of a man looking for some sick pleasure in taking the woman who his brother sees as property, it was that of a man who was one moment away from breaking down.Seeing his expression I was shocked to silence and didn't answer his question which caused him to tear up and say, "I knew it, even in this moment I can still never beat him at anything."He collapsed in on me and started crying. I don't know if it was the shock of the situation or an instinct buried deep within me, but when I saw this man cry like he had just r

I sent the kids to bed and stayed awake all night waiting for him in our bed, eventually, he strolled back in, and I instantly moved towards him.Cambell was covered in wounds, so I ran up to him and asked, "What happened?"As I came up to him, I grabbed whatever I could see to put over his wounds, but he shouted, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" And swiped me away.Then he got up and started walking."Cambell, please let me help you!""If you want to help me, stay away and keep your daughter away from me as well. The only reason you get to stay here is because I need you so that my wage stays up, Ferdiad future is all that matters now."I freeze and stop momentarily, then say, "Minagrain is your-."He throws a bowl at the floor beside me then says, "Don't lie to me anymore, or I might just kill you."Cambell moves into our room and locks the door, and I just move beside it then start to cry while whimpering, "Sorry."Our days got harsher from then on.Minagrain and Ferdiad came into the house cryin

Once we exit the staircase, he stops and takes many deep breaths as if he is about to collapse, and says, "Why?""It's because-." My tongue starts to feel tied, and I lose the ability to say anything.So Ferdiad says, "I didn't even know we had an area like this. You had to have had it custom built, and you used it, for a man like that! A man who hates you and beats you, he is a demon wearing human clothing!""NO! That is not true, your father didn't do anything wrong I did.""DID HE BEAT THE SENSE OUT OF YOU! Mother, he tried to kill you, kill me, kill Minagrain? Does this not make sense to you, he is a coward who allowed his brother to use you like a tool and then complained about it!""How do you know about that?""I wasn't a fool Mom; I watch and listen to see why my parents started hating each other. I know Mom, I know about Minagrains birth, and I am sure she does as well.""It was my fault for sleeping with that man.""That doesn't explain him trying to kill both me and Minagra

With Konrad, I spent years working and learning all he had to offer along with my peers. Inside that workshop we were not human and slaves, we were not strong and weak, we were equals with one another and for the first time in my life I could laugh alongside others.Our little family continued to grow because after every sale Konrad would bring another slave or human to our workshop, and say, "This is our new member, work them to death."Each of them where completely different than the last, but despite all of their differences they all had one similar trait, the fact that their eyes looked like they had given up on life.Despite his demeanour, and harsh tongue Konrad was a man who was as soft as a cloud, and all of us wished we could have laid on it for the rest of our lives.But peace is something easily taken from someone, and in exchange all that is left is chaos.Many didn't like the idea that so many of us slaves were being brought to a place where they weren't under watchful ey

During our first invasion into the eastern continent our forces managed to push themselves incredibly far into the humans' land completely decimating them beyond belief, but a few years into the destruction, the individual groups of humans united under one banner.It was unlike anything we had ever faced before, and soon the beastkin were forcefully pushed out of the eastern continent, and the humans even attacked into our land as retribution.This was the first giant loss the beastkin had ever faced, and the damage it did not only to our pride but to our people was immense, and on the war-thorn battlefields of our land, I found a young boy. He cried over the bodies of his parents, who had the animals aspects of their bodies craved out by the humans.I picked him up and asked, "What is your name?""Ciarán.""I see. Remember this Ciarán, from today you will never grieve like this again."During this period, I had gone out to many different destroyed battlefields and had taken any of th

Sweating, I ask, "What is it?"With a smile on his face, Bricriu says, "Let's not start off with such a heavy topic. Right now, what interests me the most is that new brooch of yours, It looks nice."This man truly is a pest, who I wish I could rid myself of, but right now he has quite a bit of power over me, so I might as well play along. "Yes. I got me and my wife new gemstones from our 2nd eldest during his wedding, so I make it into ornaments for us.""They look quite pretty. Your son has a great eye.""I agree.""He has come an awfully long way before Brían used to struggle to keep up with other people socially, but he has grown enough to even get married. It brings tears to my old eyes."No one is prouder than me and my wife.""Though it would be a shame if all of it came crashing down."I tense up, and say, "I doubt anything could bring me down from this position in my life, especially since I have the untouchable snake at my side.""Well, even I have my limits when faced with

Location: The grand Library of RathcroghanΦ As I land at the bottom of the hill, I stare at the wonderbeast known as the Ellén Trechand. A three-headed beast with wings made of copper red flowers that scatter throughout the area.It lies in the middle of a river with a large town built around it, and within it. The wonderbeast is completely integrated with the city, almost like it was made for this.Amazed by all of this I keep moving forward until I reach the main entrance, and standing outside it I say, "Now what am I going to do first?"Suddenly one of the giant heads of the Ellén looks down at me and starts to scream, and the other two heads stretch from its body and come down right next to me.All those around Ellén and me have shocked expressions, and I prepare to hit the giant head of the 60-meter beast, yet I know it would be pointless to try.From each of its three heads, I see blood rush into their mouths that suddenly turns gold as it lights ablaze. I quickly prepare to mo

Suddenly one of the druids came up to me and says, "I was expecting you Ruairí, and I assume that you are the Faoláin I heard people were raving about a little while ago."Ruairí says, "I am, and this is my new lord Setanta Ó Faoláin.""I guess I am, hello."The man looks at us in disbelief, and then says, "Please don't say things that alter the political landscape of our empire so casually like that. So my little kings what are you here for?"I take a moment to think about it, but then I say, "I would like to see where you keep the records of humankind's interactions with the beastkin over time."He looks at me with a rather shocked expression, then smiles and says, "It makes me happy that the young kings would like to learn about such things. Let's be off then."We start to walk and as we do, I look around and throughout the ridiculously tall library, filled with multiple levels connected by plants, and bones, and take the sight in.However, one thing that takes away from the beauty

Throughout the battlefield clashes between the beastkin and the humans rage, with the beastkin moving further, and further into the humans' lines.But despite all the chaos the infantry is being put through a far more important battle is happening close to the castle, a fight between the two cavalry units.As the cavalry from both sides meet for an initial skirmish, the humans are blown out of the way by the Merark riders. They decimate each, and every horse they come across ending their lives in mere moments.With the numbers of calvary being about equal, the humans are quickly finished off and surpassed. Then the beastkin push their way through towards the damaged flank of the infantry units in front of them.Cillian leading the right group of calvary says, "Now that they are all dispersed from the mammoths, we should be able to run over them all. Even if they somehow manage to fend off our breakthrough point, we should be able to create more now."As Cillian moves toward the squadr

The room explodes in panic, but I shout, "SILENCE!" Which hushes the voices and panic within the room.Looking towards the messenger, I say, "Are you certain of this?"He nods, and I look back towards the map, then I say, "This makes no sense. Right now, the Laochs should be sending a massive army straight into their territory, and they have decided to come and meet us, a far smaller force?"Cillian coming towards me, puts his hands on the map and says, "We are the group that has pushed the furthest into their territory, so maybe they want to try and push us back out.""Even if they wanted to do that, the Laochs would simply turn around and take back all of the land they would take from pushing us back, and this time they would be stuck in the heart of our territory, with a massive army coming from them behind, especially with their leader in the said army."I look over at Bricriu to get his reaction, but then on his face I see an elated smile which he quickly removes as I take notice

-Break-Φ I have always been strong and gifted. Since I was a little boy, power has come towards me, born talented in hand-to-hand combat, born with the eyes of a hunter, born with the strength of a wonderbeast, and born with the powers of a god in this body.I was Ronald Fuinseog, a warrior who had never known fear. But that's just the lie I tell myself to keep myself together.There wasn't a day of my childhood in which I didn't know fear.My older brother, Dónal was a failure to my parents, and the shame he has brought upon our house made it so that our parents didn't want their other three kids to turn out like that.My sister Aisling was forced to learn all of the secrets that could be expected of a noblewoman, and when she failed my parents said, "Your dinner goes with you."Aisling with tears in her eyes says, "I am too hungry, I can barely focus.""Nonsense, in the same situation I managed to get through it. Keep your excuse to yourself, now balance the books on your head and
Arc 10.141: Two masters part 1
As the second human-beastkin war began, the humans attacked large plantations all across Terrafide, Victoria, and Molstoria, completely decimating the beastkin and pushing back their forces in Molstoria.On each battlefield they won they freed all human slaves there, and increased their army size.Word of their victories spread as beastkin ran from battlefield to other locations sending warnings of the oncoming invasions, which soon spread to the humans there causing massive uprisings even before Charles armies had arrived.However, after a series of uprisings, the Red branch armies mobilized and started to meet the humans. But to the shock of many, the armies of the Red branch were mostly defeated again, and again.Eventually, this led to an eight-month long war that the beastkin were losing, and in response to this, the leaders of the beastkin gathered in one place to discuss the events.Location: Ríchathaoir Dhanu; Home of the high king in the centre providence of TaraΦ Sitting ac

My skin tenses up with rage, but Péatra grabs my arms and says, "Right now if you cause a scene in front of everyone it will be a mess and a show of weakness to the people."Restraining myself, I look at Bricriu who says, "Cú Culainn the warrior whose name has been spread far and wide throughout the empire has committed a grave sin.He has aided human slaves in their escape from the empire, siding with the idea that they deserve to be treated as equals to us. He has betrayed both the empire and his blood.These slaves are now loose carrying critical information about our empire and will aid our enemies in upcoming battles. But do not worry as Ferdiad has bested Cú Culainn today, he has overcome the rapid warrior and now stands on top of the greatest talent in the empire!"Walking forward Ferdiad says, "Know this as long as I stand at the head of my generation. I will never allow tragedy to befall you all, I will fight tooth and nail till the east has fallen. So from today on I am Cú D

He brings me closer to him and tightens his restrictions which causes me to bleed, and then he says, "Don't waste your future by doing something so stupid my young king."Laughing a bit, I say, "It is nice to know you care for me, but I can assure you of something your future king can never be restrained from doing what his heart desires.""You may be strong, but don't forget that this is the second time you lost to me.""And since when did a Faoláin allow his weakness to remain open?"Taking in a deep breath, I shout, "RUAIRI!""Beast blood battle arts ultimate art; Fás Glórmhar!"From my mouth, I spit out a swarm of seeds, which all accelerate through their growth forming into massive trees in front of Ronald. I then lunge over towards the humans, and then the boys' troop which is ahead of us, runs down towards us."Ruairí, I need you to take both Laeg and Ibar then get them out of here. The rest of you make sure Donald doesn't follow us."Turning to the humans, I say, "Follow me!"

Standing up Scáthach looks to everyone around them, and bows her head saying, "Sorry for the disturbance it won't happen again."Using her shadows Scáthach places Minabród back on her chair and says, "Minabród your human blood is not to blame you are. You failed Ferdiad."Minabród lowers her head and barely holds back tears from coming out of her eyes."But so did I as his master, Setanta as his friend, Minagrain as his sister, and Lugh as his king. We have all failed that child in certain ways, and we will never be able to take back the hurt that has caused him, but you must simply find peace in that.""Why! Why should I find peace in that? I couldn't help him, I couldn't protect him, all I could do was hurt him like a disease, and if it wasn't due to my blood, and just due to me. Then I don't deserve to keep breathing.""Minabród kids are scary, raising a child is scary.

-Break-Φ In all of Gorias providence, there isn't a single native or visitor who isn't current in one place.Throughout the city, Druids have gathered together. Many of them wear the crest of the Faoláins, but far more are wearing the crests of each house of the Red branch, including the royal house itself.And under the instruction of Fráech and Findabair, they all say, "Beast blood battle arts; Fás."Which is quickly followed by, "Beast blood battle arts; Bog."Soon a series of giant plants set throughout Gorias grow and, the most important of them which are located near Gorias castle move into shape where they form three large platforms made of plants which are placed on top of each other from biggest to smallest.The bottom and biggest of these three platforms takes up a large portion of the castle of Gorias city, with the other two being smaller, but also extremely large as well.The druid using Bog continues to move and mould the platforms until a staircase is made leading from

In his hands is a basket, but I soon skip over it as seeing Lugh all dressed up does many things to both my mind and my body,His beautiful face is both mature and effeminate, but the aura of his body and his wounds give the impression of a hardened warrior. His muscles which show in his clothes, enrapture my eyes and never let them go.The heavenly smell of his silver hair crushes my nose, and his heavy voice which ties it all together slays my ears. Right now, he is more seductive than any man of the night, and should be locked up for indecency.Covering my eyes, I scream, "THANK YOU!"Aimee then gets up to Lugh's face, and says, "My king, it isn't good for you to see her right now. You should wait until the ceremony so you can be surprized by her looks.""I wouldn't be surprised anyway. Péatra is a beautiful woman, it isn't like she could get prettier if she tried."I let out a gross laugh in response to this, and start to drool. The maids quickly catch my drool as it falls off my
