Location: Red Branch Knight Training Grounds
Φ Sitting on the ground waiting for his broken bones to regenerate, I turn to Dumnorix and say, "You're way too strong."
Laughing, Dumnorix says, "And you're way too fast a learner, it's barely been any time since we started training, and you have gone from being unable to see me to keeping pace."
"Just leveraging the skills I have built up with what I learned during Setanta youth. I had to experience some of his training myself, though I only know the principles, not how actually to apply it to my body; that's why I still struggle to keep up with your stupid stinger."
"That sounds like more of an issue with you keeping up with non-human combatants."
Rolling around and throwing his fists around in the air, Orb says, "BLEH! Don't act like I am supposed to be able to do that easily, and to add on to the difficulty, I swear every time it hits me, I feel a different reaction in my body! Making it hard to plan ahead!"
"Very childish, but I will give you a hint, my stinger, from my wonderbeast, the skerlegh has the ability to create one of three types of venom. First is the type of venom that numbs one's body, which can also be used for medical purposes, the second one is a toxic substance that breaks down and kills the cells of whatever it touches and the third one is my favourite."
-Present-
Holding the man down, I say, "It takes an aspect of the body and increases its functions to a poisonous degree. Like making your brain signal your body that it needs to sleep for a long time."
Φ The man under Orb's hand soon falls right to sleep and starts snoring rapidly. Then, turning his face around, Orb says, "He will be out for around 9 hours, so you don't have to kill him."
Then man, looking a bit stressed, says, "You sure about that? I don't feel like getting stabbed in the back. Maybe it will be easier to kill him."
Orb slams his fist into the ground and summons large amounts of ice, creating a spire to the sky. With red hair and furious eyes, Orb says, "You're right, this is getting annoying. Why don't I just kill everyone who disagrees with me?"
Sweating the Nightmare says, "I think I heard the 5th seat calling for me!"
As he runs away, Orb gets up and says, "Now time to go all out."
Orb and Dumnorix dash around the battlefield, injecting Nightmares with Dumnorix's toxin through the blade and his stinger.
Φ Holding the knife in his hands, Dumnorix says, "I am surprised that Abban was able to whip up a super concentrated version of my venom, on such short notice. I have been underestimating the genius and ability of those who stand with me. I can't be allowing myself to be a hypocrite and give Cyrus reason to mock me."
Φ Dumnorix speeds up, and together they knock out a mass of the members of Blamator in no time at all. The Minister watching from afar look at the war map in front of them, and with a happy tone, Veekeeris says, "What a fun young man, thinking so far away to try and accomplish his goals."
Vėja says, "I would prefer if he didn't die due to this."
Stiprais says, "I thought you'd love that. Don't you love dealing with far simpler people, who could probably push our interests more?"
Vėja says, "The rest of Niflheim aren't fools who will buckle under pressure, we have already seen that. But more than that, they are an alley whose future has the most potential, so keeping their leader with them is in our best interests, especially a man who seems to be soft enough that he would charge into a battlefield for random strangers. We should send soldiers to get him back."
Veekeeris says, "No, it's pointless. Besides, I doubt he is going to get killed with the other one there with him. Right now we can all see he is freeing up soldiers, so let's simply end this battle a quickly as possible, or do you think that the one of us three with the most battle experience is wrong about this?"
"I concede to your expertise."
"Good, now get in contact with our messengers. We will be wrapping this battle up."
Through the land, sky, and sea, the forces of Blestemate push forward, decimating the members of Blamator as they move forward, pushing them all until each army has reached the cave where they were all hiding, and soon, yells erupt across the battlefield.
Sitting down across the floor, Orb says, "It seems the battle must have come to an end?"
Dumnorix says, "Tired already, I thought you had more stamina."
"Red branch battle arts make my legs feel like they have run thousands of meters."
"Excuses, excuses, you'll need to give me a 1000 Passiflora's when we get back, and maybe you'll eventually reach a Morning Glory."
With green hair of excitement, Orb shouts, "NOOOOOOOOOO!" as he falls right back to the ground. Though as he lies for a moment, he manifests his dog ears, and presses them against the ground, as his hair turns grey with confusion.
Name: Cursed Bird of Blestemate or Putns (Local Name)
Height: 12 cm
Type: Carnivore
Description: A cursed white wagtail with a sharp and dynamic body that allows it to soar around at high speeds. Across the body are a series of looped holes that store air, and release it causes an acceleration of its body.
Fact: The Putns were nursed back to health in the area that went on to become Blestemate's Grand Park of Renaștere when the curses first spread over the land. In honour of those who saved their lives, they still fly across the park and knock the beautiful, cursed leaves off the tree and into the surrounding area.
Name: Cursed Pūķis
Height: 320 cm
Type: Wonderbeast, Omnivore
Description: A dark orange giant lizard-like wonderbeast that has four strong, large legs, a long serpentine neck, a somewhat dragonic face, and a long tail that splits at the ends like a handful of wheat. It is covered in scales that look like a giant mass of wheat that form small and large mountains on its back, and on these scales, different types of wheat grow by absorbing nutrients from the sky and its belly.
Fact: The Pūķis was once a fierce and aggressive wonderbeasts which used to devour humans and take on their flesh to mimic their appearance and voice for the sake of slaughtering them, a creature many said came from hell. But after it was cursed, the Nightmares of Blestemate were able to domesticate it, turning it into a harmless but gluttonous beast.
Name: Cursed Cattle of Blestemate or Veis (Local Name)
Height: 150-250 cm
Type: Herbivore
Description: Cattle with the bottom of a shark. Depending on a series of factors, the cow can come out looking like a less detailed or overly detailed version of life. For the cattle that are less detailed, it is said that they look like a kid's drawings, and can pass through surfaces freely, while those that are highly detailed are said to be the opposite and tend to break reality around themselves if they move too quickly.
Fact: The very existence of the two types of animals had led to countless scientists moving to Blestemate during the early centuries after its creation. It is said that the discovery of these two creatures has influenced mathematical research more than any one person has been able to do in the Third Cycle.
Name: Näkk and Cursed Näkk
Height: 520 cm
Type: Wonderbeast, Omnivore
Description: A crustacean with a humanoid upper body, snail-like legs, two large crab arms on its shoulders, a sharp shrimp-like face covered in armour similar to a crab's exoskeleton, and a giant shell on its back with large spikes sticking out of it. The giant wonderbeast is capable of hiding its entire body within its shell, and from its shell it releases a series of vibrations that can bewitch any target caught by them, luring it closer.
Fact: Despite being cursed, the Näkk has no visual changes from its uncursed variant. This is due to its curse only altering its insides, which changed it from a carnivore to an omnivore.
Name: Cursed Squirrel of Blestemate or Māte (Local Name)
Height: 40 cm
Type: Herbivore
Description: A Vāvere with two horns on its head has purple and green fur, along with orange tattoos across its body that glow brightly. Its curse allows it to alter and combine different plants it eats and form a series of different medicines.
Fact: Long ago, there was a Nightmare known as Meža Māte, who was blessed with a curse to heal. She ran around all of what was Blestemate healing and rescuing those distressed by their curses, and by her side, cursed squirrels follow, earning them their name. Eventually, Meža Māte disappeared without a trace, and in honour of her efforts, the Cursed Squirrels have continued to heal people without fail.
Name: Cursed Firebird
Height: 400 cm
Type: Wonderbeast, Carnivore
Description: A giant bird-like wonderbeast with two giant wings and two small wings going vertically down the top of the giant ones. It has a primarily white body, but it is embedded with hard red feathers across itself. Its overall structure is sharp and has been said by many to look like a divine blade, though its cursed structure has made its body look far more demonic than divine. It can light its body into white and red flames that use its own blood as their fuel source. Its curse allows it to shoot of its feathers, which, when under fire, can form into a giant explosion that discriminates its opponents.
Fact: When the land known as the Beast Claw first fell under the curse that changed the land, one of the first issues many faced was their inability to check the time due to the purple filter that had covered the sky, making it look like a permanent night. For many, the only way they could tell the times was when the cursed firebird flew through the sky at the same times each day. To many during that time, it became a guiding light, and till this day it is seen as such.
Name: The Behemoth of the Journey's End; Davy Jones
Height: 64M
Type: Wonderbeast, Omnivore
Description: A behemoth wonderbeast. A large dark blue bipedal upright lobster-like wonderbeast with two fishy human legs. Its exoskeleton is made out of hard, dark blue scales that serve as protection. Across its head, a large crescent moon made out of kelp grows, and over its right eye, a large coral reef sits that moves down its body up to the top of its right claw. Through its scales is a large stream of water moving across its entire body, streaming from an orb located in the centre of its body, and through the stream a series of plankton swim through them, creating oxygen for the behemoth both above and under the water. Across its back, a large series of Sealife, including wonderbeasts, make houses for themselves using its water, and coral to maintain themselves, making an ecosystem, though it has been removed by the Cursed Sea Army, and the space has been formed into a storage room along with an aerial dock. From its tail, it can make an opening and absorb large amounts of water, which it can shoot 5 kilometres away.
Fact: Davy Jones is known for being a wonderbeast that used tos warm the large seas of Molstoria and dragged people down into the sea constantly, specifically around a sea called Journey's End, named after how many ships had fallen for its attacks. Many pirates throughout the generations learned to understand its behaviour and managed to find ways to avoid it and even befriend it, by throwing rare and shiny metals into the ocean to distract it, and used this knowledge to make a home for them on the Journey's End's Sea, eventually naming their protector Davy Jones. Yet eventually, during Blestemate's reign of Molstoria during the era of Levav, they put an end to this, and captured Davy Jones, bringing it to Blestemate.
