Later that night

Location: Campsite

With 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 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."

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.

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

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.

    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.

    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!"

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.
