Φ Soon, the boy starts to run off again, and under his breath, he says, "721."
Then he locks his eyes towards another beastkin and starts to move towards him without wasting a moment.
Φ Sitting on the back of my cow, I look onto the rest of the beastkin in front of me, and say, "Keep working, my little minions."
"Hey Callum, get your butt down here and start working like we are."
"Oh, but I am, don't you see all of the hard work Ms Milker here is doing?"
"You can't just misappropriate one of the cows from Anucroí to use for your work."
"Oh, but I can, it is called being a druid, but I guess you branchless wouldn't know that!"
Φ As Callum mocks his friends in a playful manner, the cow he is riding sees a young boy appear in front of it. He quickly dances and moves while flinging a blue cape through the air, which incites rage within the cow, making it charge forward.
Φ As my little Milker charges forward, I start to rub his head and say, "Hey, Milker, you need to slow down, or I am going to be killed!"
But my pleas are unable to reach my little angel, and she charges forth without a care in the world. Looks like I am going to die, but then in front of our war path, a person appears.
"That girl is going to die!" I say as I look at where Milker is heading
Looking at her, the woman who stands in front of Milker, I shout, "MOVE!"
Dammit, she isn't moving. I am going to have to break Milker's neck to stop her from killing the human.
"Sorry about this," I say as I put my hands on her neck.
But before I manage to put my hands on her neck, the woman charges forward, wraps her arms around its neck, and then, after rubbing its head a few times, she eventually falls down and stops her rampage.
She then starts to rub his head numerous times over, and says, "Who is a good girl, who is a big, strong cow!"
Looking at her, I jump off Milker and bow my head to her, saying, "I am so sorry."
"Don't worry about it. Besides, I enjoy getting to see cows again."
Looking at the human woman, I say, "You're used to animals."
"I used to work at a farm before I ended up in Basileia. My name is Bella."
"That explains why you're so good with animals. But I don't think it is good for you to just randomly jump into a cow's warpath."
With a bright smile, she holds up a book and says, "I saw this in the dirt and had to pick it up."
"What's that?"
"It's a beastkin language book. It has the history of the evolution of the way you speak the heroes' song, and all the little slang and so on you have made up in the last 2000 years."
I reach out my hand to see it, and she hands it over, causing me to say, "Cold. But did you just run in front of a cow for a book?"
Confused, she says, "It's a book. If destroyed, its contents may never be found again. On the other hand, I would probably just be put in a near-death state if I got run into by a cow. Are you ok?"
"I should be asking you that. But if you like books that much, I can show you any."
"Really?"
"I happen to be one of the druids who are in charge of the library at the grand hall of Eche, I have a free pass to borrow any books I want to. And I happen to always look out for my friends."
Bella hugs him and picks him up, then says, "THANK YOU!"
Φ "722" Orb says before he bursts off again.
"I can't stop now. There is Mary, Patrick, Steavan, Camile, Roto, Nozaha, Raine, Morota, Calipa, Soria, Gotomor, Basing, Ortowa, Mundune, and so many others. So I need to keep charging forward!
Rushing around, the boy sends people to certain places and forces accidents on others. And little by little, more and more people meet with each other.
"Is that really make-up? I didn't even know one could be so skilled in it."
"So I created this little kind of playhouse for my boys with a bunch of different sections to it, you should bring your kids over."
"It's a spice we made after a month of genetic engineering. It is so hot that we have had to give people who have received it medical care."
"Do you think you can match me in an arm wrestle? Let's see you try."
"Are you serous that there are plants that make farts as you walk by? I thought we had a load of crazy ones here, but it is nothing compared to that."
"A school of music far in the east? I know you enjoy my voice but if it is a world stage maybe I should not so cocky."
"So you're telling me there was a mountain with a bunch of different metals just swinging around in the sky that could be combined. Skydust? I swear I have heard that name before."
"Wait, do you actually have records on beastkin practices? So many of the ones we have in the grand hall of Eche have been altered for political reasons, so we can barely tell which ones are ours anymore. I would love to see where you are."
"Your hair is so pretty, I feel like I am going to die, just by rubbing my body against it. Can you show me how you got it to look so fresh and smell so nice?"
"788, 820, 856, 1020, 1213," Orb says as he runs around at full speed. He pushes and nudges others while laying bait between others.
Taking out a book from his side, Orb moves through it at high speed and crosses out two names, then he says, "I knew Matea and Lorena would be good friends, now I should move on to Theo and Mora. I can't wait."
As Orb jets around his eye, locks onto men, one is a tiger beastkin, and the other a human, a warrior from Aplos. As the human walks near the tiger beastkin, he sees the tiger flare its claws, and the human gives it a disgusted and fearful look.
Which causes the tiger to glare at him with a discomforted and enraged look.
"Is there a reason you're looking at me like that?"
"There are a bunch of kids and women around, maybe it isn't a good idea to be swinging a weapon around."
"These are part of my body, there are no weapons."
"I am sure that excuse would be a great comfort to someone who has gotten their body cut up by those large claws."
"Let's see with you why don't we?"
As the tension builds between the two of them, Orb prepares to move between the both of them. But then Maple appears in between them and puts her hands up, saying, "STOP!!!!!"
They both freeze as they see the young girl in between them. Soon she pulls out a book, which has 'notes' written on it, and then she starts to flip through the pages, while saying, "Tigers, tigers, tigers."
After finding a page on tigers, she says, "Ahaha."
Pointing at the member of Aplos, she says, "Mango, your muscles have become even bigger. I see you have been working out for the sake of our people."
Slightly confused, Mango says, "I have somewhat. But I didn't think you would notice."
Next, she points at the tiger and says, "Mister tiger! What is bothering you?"
He looks confused for a moment, and says, "Nothing, now can you both just leave me alone?"
"I refuse. You see, tigers are usually smart and quiet animals, for you to flare your claws, something must have happened. So please inform me of it."
He looks at Maple's clothes, then Mango's and with distrustful eyes, he says, "No, I am fine now, please just leave me alone."
But as he finishes, his claws flare again, and Maple stares deeply at his body.
Mango, annoyed by his tone, says, "Chie,f don't spare any thought for people like him. Can't control his body, and can't control his tone. You shouldn't interact with such people too much."
Maple elbows Mango in the stomach, but it does no damage, and she then says, "Your back just twitched?"
He turns his front to her, but Maple quickly sneaks around him, and starts to scratch his back, and then as her fingers move through them, he starts to melt with release.
"Your skin is irritated, isn't it?"
Calming down from melting, he moves away from her and says, "How did you notice?"
"I have rather good eyesight, I could see all of those small movements. The reason you were flaring your claws is that you were extremely irritated. So let me ease you."
"No, get away!"
Mango, moving behind him holds him down and gives his back a powerful scratch, which makes him melt even more. And he says, "Can you do the top right?"
"No problem."
As Mango continues to scratch him, he says, "I am sorry about this. I was being pig-headed, and I know how bad rashes can get at times, so forgive me for this."
"It doesn't matter. Just continue with the scratching!"
Maple smile, and Orb in the distance has hair that turns bright green. He then continues his run, and Maple takes off as well.
Φ Together with a series of beastkin who plough the land, one man shouts, "We can't let him beat us!"
But as they do, the fields around them get tilted at great speeds, with intense power, and soon they are all blown away by the pressure of them.
Slamming their fists into the ground, the man leading the men says, "This was a trap!"
Stopping in the centre of them, Dumnorix says, "It was no trap. You all were far too stupid to believe you could even beat me."
"I knew getting an instant promotion to the Morrigan squad if we tilted more fields than you was too good to be true."
Sticking his finger in the air, Dumnorix says, "The very idea of it was a proposition from the start. Because I am the one who splits the heavens open, I am the greatest in all of creation!"
Soon, a spotlight descends upon him, as Pixies fly over his head, shooting down light onto him. And his men continue to slam their fists into the ground in frustration with him.
But then a crackling laughter fills the area, and a lone girl's voice says, "If you split the heavens, I emerge from hell to conquer all that has been created."
Suddenly, certain sections of the ground invert and shoot out dirt into the sky, tilling in them in an unorthodox way. The young girl in overalls walks out in front of Dumnorix.
Looking at her, Dumnorix says, "Who are you!?"
Raising her finger to the sky, the girl says, "I am the one who was born into a world in desperate need of beauty. I am the one sent to pervert the rules and laws of this world for the sake of beauty. I am the pinnacle of all creation! MIME BOUDLEUVRE!"
Soon, a structure of ice appears around Dumnorix that reflects all of the Pixies' light around to Mime, and seeing this, he starts to laugh, saying, "It seems someone has come from my throne."
"Your throne? You were merely warming the seats!"
They both let out hefty laughs, then Dumnorix says, "A fated rival the world has given me today. How I thank you for existing, little one."
Mime says, "You don't even deserve that title, now fade into history as one of my countless fallen foes!
The two charge forth at full speed.
