 A Bid For Revenge  Syrena looked down as she stared at her reward. She put the coins away as she just could not get all that she heard out of her head. She remembered all the times that she killed and tortured. Her eyes slid to her hands, knowing that they were red with blood. She remembered all that dress Dark Lady Grasharlo brought out of her. She remembered all the torture that she had put her uncle through. She remembered how she killed Grasharlo before she came back. She then remembered how she liked the dark joy that she had while she tortured him. Then her mind flooded with all she had learnt and heard about her father. It seemed the more she heard the more evil he seemed. She did not like it but the more she heard and saw the more it became difficult to deny it. Yet she did not want to admit it either. Yet she felt scared. Scared that she would end up like that. Scared that the moment that she took the throne that she took would become a tyrant. That sje too would see...

 A Truth That Scars They soon came to a town. Strena and Bash looked at the local bounty hunters tavern. “Do we have enough to get to the Desert Planes?” She asked. “So the little princess can speak on her own!” “Shut up!” “Well, do we?” Strena asked, keeping on track. “No. We probably need at least four emeralds and rubies.” Chashathrophogh admitted. “Then I’ll get a bounty and we’ll split the royalties.” “Good thinking Arielsa!” “Strena.” Zaryb and Strena corrected. “Right.” “Also, Bash, go with her. That way she would pick a good job that she can do.” “But don’t underestimate her.” Bash nodded as the girls walked in. She looked at the board. Strena soon picked one and showed it to Bash and she looked down. Herra Of Hogworth 100 Emeralds & 7 Rubies Herra of Hogworth has taken over Herraldt three days ago. Despite our best efforts we could not take him down. So please, free us! Issued 7th Friday Dec 514 Years After The 5th Age Of Legends  “That was the beginning of last m...

 A Secret That Must Be Kept Strena woke from a nightmare the first thing her eyes dropped to was the cuff before putting her diary away. She then looked up to Chashathrophogh, hoping that he did not read it. She knew that the moment that he found out what she was she would be dead. She looked to the side to her Uncle Zaryb. She hoped that he would keep quiet yet, as she did not know Wolfox, she could not be quite certain he would.  They soon woke up and Cerpheres gave her a delicious stew. In fact she had never tasted a stew so good. They all ate slowly before they marched on. As they did, Strena walked closer to Zaryb than the rest. Yet Cerpheres walked up to her and put an arm around her, making her jump slightly. “Are you alright little beauty?” “Urm…yeah. Why?” “It’s just you seem to have a lot on your plate. Wanna share?” He purred. “No.” “Come on! Are you really going to say that in that way?” Yes. “You need to look stronger than that!” “And if I did want to share, you’l...

 A Cuff That Binds 1st Monday Jule  515 years after the 5th Age Of Legends Me and Master Zaryb arrived at Roqaur on Saturday safely. Yet we met up with Touchable Bash who is also the Exile Princess Drew Of Beforebow, daughter of Queen Shedrey and her husband that was assassinated over five months ago along with her baby brother. Also and none other than Chashathrophogh the Bastard Killer and older Bastard brother of Queen Shedrey which makes him Bash’s uncle. As it turns out Master Zaryb are not only friends, it seems that they are best friends. Which I found unexpected as I did not expect him to have friends. Also we wet a creepy man called Cerpheres, which keeps looking at me in a way that is uncomfortable to me. Almost like prey in front of a predator. However I know better than to allow myself to show my vulnerability. Master Zaryb has trained me better than that. Yet I can sense, despite this, he seems to be a fun guy to be around. We went to a pub there where I found out...

 Lie Despite having the piece of the Reality Sphere, they stayed there for three whole weeks as they recovered. This gave Doormaze plenty of time to think as she found herself in the castle library, reading book after book. She absorbed all that she could there as she knew that she could not stay anywhere near Coalmine or Burn as she knew that the decision to be made had to be hers and hers alone. She wondered what to do about Coalmine as she did. At first, she could not think past her rage at what she had done while they were traveling together. But, as she became desensitized to it, she seemed to start to think calmly. It was strange to her the moment that she did have the first clear thought. However, part of her still felt that anger and the calm and anger flickered like the flame of a candle. This happened through the second week. Then in the third week it was put out and she was able to meditate on the decision completely calm and completely clear. There was no anger in th...

 The Final Round  Ahead of him was Doormaze Drage. Just make him tired. Then you can beat him. “Now the third has returned.” Quickly she threw water at him. He stopped it. She threw some misshapen water balls at him in rapid succession. She ran on and on as he blocked each and every one of them. Then she fired more and more water balls at him as she ran and ran. He blocked each and every one of them.  Then she noticed the weapons on the floor and in the walls. She dived to one wall, plucked one and threw it at him. She did this again and again and again. He stopped each and every one of them. She dived to the next wall and threw the weapons at him again and again and again before diving to the next wall as he stopped those weapons. Then he did this to the last wall and he stopped those. Then, her gut told her to stay. She looked up as the weapons rose and they fired at her. She dodged behind the remnants of one of the pillars. That was when she saw the blades and spiked b...

 Burn’s Round  That was when Burn walked in. She took a glance at Coalmine and picked her up. She quickly raced to Doormaze before Dartru could do anything. Then Doormaze took her and nodded before running back to Mayer Millrose to heal her. Meanwhile Burn turned back and ran in for her bash. She breathed in and out. At first, she felt ready, but as she thought about Coalmine and the state she was in she felt dread start to sink in. She forced herself to continue to breathe in and out and keeping as calm as possible. Will I end up like that? If so how bad will it be?  Clam down Burn. Will I even make it out? Calm down Burn, if you can sense that you need to bale, then bale. But what if I can’t? What if he won’t let me? She took a deep breath in and released it slowly as her eyes rested upon him. Well it’s too late now. She forced her will on a shield on the wall. Then she caused it to fly towards him. He then dropped it. She did this again and again and again and he drop...

 Coalmine’s Round “So, what do we do?” Asked Burn. “I will go first. You, go second and you will go last.” Coalmine narrowed her eyes. “Why?” “Simple. He can’t fight forever and you’re the strongest.” Burn looked down and nodded. “But wouldn’t it best for Coalmine to go first?” Doormaze looked down for a moment. Then she thought about it for a moment. “Oh yeah!” “So?” “Coalmine,you go first, Burn, you go next. Then I will go last. Make sure that you all last as long as possible.” “Right.” “When do we do this?” “This afternoon.” “Why?” “So that we are at our best.” The rest nodded. Yet Doormaze could not help but look at Coalmine. “And, again, we will address everything once we have finished off this guy.” She became pale and nodded. Then after that they went onto quickly train and after, at lunch, rested. After a good meal Coalmine, Burn and Doormaze set off. They stayed at the front of the castle. “You healed well.” “Part of the dragon side.” She spoke as she walked in. She soon s...

 Consequences “So, you failed too?” Coalmine looked down and nodded. He lip curled as she looked away both out of shame and anger. After all, he had let her go. He had let her live. She could not look up, she did not trust herself to look up at her. “You too?” Doormaze nodded. “Why did you go in the first place?” Coalmine narrowed as she felt her body curl up and she felt the pain in her wing. Say it. Just say it. No! She would never understand it. Why not? Just say it. If she still does not understand, then that will be her problem, not mine! No. Give her a chance. No! She needs to know. No! “I don’t want to say.” At this, Doormaze yanked her by the scruff of her neck and headbutted her. “You better! After all, if we’re going to continue I’m gonna have to know who’s side you’re on! Have you got that, dear sister ?” “Why? Because you’re so special? Give me a break!” She snapped rolling her eyes as she thought of Rosy. “Why should I? After all, I didn’t ask for this! I didn’t ask f...
