    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur nodded, though the gesture was more hesitant than he'd liked. "Yes. Or, well..." Sybil's surprise at his statement had made him unsure, had he been too fast in completing the task? It had felt like he'd been sitting with his eyes closed for hours, though one look at the sun told him that...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur nodded. "Alright then I won't refrain." Her mood seemed rather fickle today and a single wrong question would probably flip her mood right back to annoyed, but if she was allowing him to ask questions he wasn't going to hold back. "So I'm just wondering, how exactly does mana work? I know...
  3. Key of Stars

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Sybil's fierce reaction to his suggestion of sharing mana caught Arthur off guard. In fact, the suggestion had drawn more emotion out of her than the prince has yet seen her display before. He quickly raised a hand in a gesture asking her to calm down but Sybil continued her tirade without...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur shifted his eyes from the fire to Sybil for a moment. "I got lucky. Found it a little ways out from our camp while doing my daily training routine." He answered her with a slight shrug, returning his attention to the meat above the fire almost immediately after, not wanting it to burn...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur woke up just as the sun started climbing above the horizon, his hand still on the grip of his dagger where it had been as he drifted to sleep. He climbed to his feet, stretching out fully with a quiet grunt. Sleeping out in the wild was about as different as sleeping in a palace bed as...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur could tell his travelling companion was far from delighted at the reveal of his bound element, she barely tried to hide it. Between the sigh, dismissive wave of her hand and somber tone of her words. He couldn't blame her for that, from the way she talked about it Celestial magic was...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur was pretty sure she had been staring at him, though the slight stumble in her voice told him it was likely she had been lost in a train of thought of her own rather than actually having meant to stare at him consciously. "I do?" He eagerly asked at her mention of him having a lot of mana...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur nodded as she mentioned every type of magic having its own strengths, he didn't doubt that. Everything could be useful if you used it creatively enough, that even went for weapons, everything could be a weapon with a little creativity. Well, that might not be the exact same as it was for...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur froze up as she raised her hand to the side of his face, speaking his name for the very first time in a gentle tone that caught the prince off guard more than anything. He recoiled slightly as she struck his face, raising a hand to his cheek, more so out of surprise than pain. He stayed...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    The first time she bit back Arthur ignored her, but he'd heard her words and they had had an effect. He begrudgingly pulled the dagger out of the earth beside him, his own emerald eyes staring back at him for a moment as he looked into the now dirt stained metal before he wiped the dagger off...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    She looked a little better after he placed the cuffs back around her wrists, the constant flow of crimson from her lips slowing down. Even so, her face was still pale to such a degree that it would have been hard to tell if she was even still alive if it wasn't for the visible shallow rising and...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    "Sure, sure," He didn't really focus on her words, his attention mostly taken up by how weak and frail her voice had been as she spoke them. "Just shut up and rest for now." He eventually added, perhaps that had come out a bit too roughly, the prince did still feel slightly on edge from the...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    "Right," Arthur nodded as he pulled her into the saddle in front of him, it hadn't escaped his notice that she had wiped blood from her hand just moments before accepting his outstretched hand. Obviously, quite unhealthy was quite the understatement by Sybil, the woman was much worse off than...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur shook his head. "No, I do owe you, you saved my life here today." He responded, not paying any attention to the man squirming underneath his armored boot. "What happened in the past can't be forgotten but it doesn't change the choice you made today." She could have ran, faced with a man...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    The feeling of being teleported was unlike anything Arthur had ever experienced before. The sudden shift in scenery from staring Vail straight in the eye to kicking of the ground with Vail's back suddenly turned to him was bizarre, it was a rather fascinating feeling, though more than anything...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur didn't even have time to take a step back as Vail conjured a blade made from the blood he had drawn through his surprise attack. The counterattack would have at the very least taken his arm clean off if Sybil hadn't protected him. He hastily took a step back when he got the chance...

    "Drop the pretense." As if the man in front of him cared about being rude. "I remember." How could he not? While magic, especially as a form of combat, had failed to ever truly capture Arthur's interest, a fact that was odd enough in itself given his position as prince of a kingdom as proficient...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    "Do you think the battles I've been fighting these past eight years have all been honorable one on one duels?" He responded before pausing and heaving a heavy sigh. "But you're right, I got a little carried away." Knowing that only an Old God could kill another Old God had made it less than...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    Arthur heaved a deep sigh, looking down at the woman. "I'm not forcing myself," Okay maybe he was forcing himself a little, holding back the instinctive hatred he felt when looking at her. "I'm making the decisions that give us the best chance of accomplishing my goals, that is all. Now stop...

    Fantasy Cruelty of Swine | Private

    "That's about what I expected you to say." The ghost of a smile played on his lips, he hadn't been expecting her to simply go along with whatever he said in the first place, the fact that he only received a dismissive wave of her hand along with a similarly dismissive comment was already a good...
