Strena Quester Final Part

 The Swamp Town It had been three days since they left the dwarf mine when they arrived at a swamp. They walked down a path and soon came to a town made of wooden and clay huts and buildings with straw rooms all without windows. The people walked to and fro, all of them pale and hollow eyes and dangerously thin. To the right was an empty tower that had bare floors and a circular thatched roof. “Why are we here?” “We need to get to Animéga so we need to travel on the water and taking a public ship will be too risky. So we’re going across the rivers that lead close to there.” She nodded as they reached a doc. There was a bony man with hollow eyes and an aged look on his face. Which were brown and he had silver streaks in his hair. “Are you the questers that we have asked for?” He asked in broken West. “No.” “Well, are you Questers?” “Yes.” “Then will you help us?” “No.” “Why not?” “We do not have the time for this.” “But, if you do this, then you will have a free boat trip, food and ...

Strena Quester Part Seven

 The Old Mine They had been on the road for three months without anything happening. Yet Bash, Chashathrophogh and Cerpheres could sense that Dark Lord Gajellidor Darcrogh was still in Animéga. Yet they could not place as to why he had not left. The troubling thing was; they were all low on money and the pale trio had just finished the last of their sun protection potion. Fortunately, they were getting close to the Swamp Lands at the end of the Mideast continent. So they would have to hold on until then, however, as that third month drew to a close, it was all too clear that they could not. So they saw the nearest Quest Board and looked at it. Get Dwarf Treasure  The Dwarf tribe of Shoraiah challenge all Questers to take their treasure, with full permission of the tribe, by passing their tests. Emperor Eupharah “Alright, let’s take it!” Strena moaned. “Now until you perform the test I taught you.”  “Fine!” She pulled it off and showed it to the sun to find that there was ...

Strena Quester Part Six

 The Quest On The Road They were all walking on the road, they had been for a long time and at a fast pace. They had all found out that they had lost time and Bash, Chashathrophogh and Cerpheres could feel that Dark Lord Gajellidor Darcrogh and Dark Lady Grasharlo were on the move in Animéga. So they all knew that they had to move faster to make up for the lost time. Yet, as they did, they saw a quest signpost. Strena caught a glimpse of quests one of which caught her eye. Demon Extractor This caused her to wander over to the signpost. “Strena! Come on!” “Master Chashathrophogh, Uncle Zaryb, look!” She called as she pointed to the poster. They walked up to her and looked at the poster. “Oh!” “What is it?” “Why would you want one of those, my dear?” “To set Uncle Zaryb free.” To the sun to the East there is the  Tomb Of The Demonic Emperor Zurahkan Zuvé. In it is his tools for  Demon Control, Demon Possession, and Demon Exorcising  He is the progenitor of the Zuvé fa...

Strena Quester Part Five

 The Official License  Strena and the rest were walking for hours and hours until the sun had come down when they arrived at a modest building. It had two floors and was painted in purple and gold. It had a small set of double doors. Chashathrophogh looked up and around the building as Strena looked at the windows. She noticed that there were some that were bricked up but others were not. She looked up at the upper window and looked at the bottom ones. At the top was one rectangle horizontally, one square, another rectangle. There was a diamond after. Then one rectangle, one square, diamond. Three rectangles, diamond, rectangle, square, rectangle, square, diamond, rectangle, square, rectangle end. The ground floor windows were; square, square, rectangle, square, diamond, three rectangles, diamond, two squares, diamond, square, rectangle, square end. She circled the building to see that it was like that all around. “Urm, Master Chashathrophogh, is that normal?” She asked. He lo...

Strena Quester Part Four

 The Painting They all looked up at a large box. It was jet black, just like the rest of the walls of the chamber, almost like it was made of black glass and the whole room was littered by those glowing mushrooms. The box itself was black metal and covered with many black precious crystals and gemstones. In the centre was a padlock, also black. “Tell me-” Cerpheres darted to the lock and looked in the hole. He looked around the box. “What? Can’t pick it?” “Nope! That’s a trick lock…” He purred, more to himself. “And how do you know?” “There’s something wrong with the inside. It seems to be riddled with spikes, I assume that they have many nasty little things hidden in them to kill us. Also, by the size of the lock, it seems to be a holder of something, it could be something very, very nasty for us naughty lot!” “And what will help open it?” “I dunno. Do you have an idea, my dear?” Strena looked around. “Not on the box. Also I don’t think that this is the chest we’re looking for.” H...

Strena Quester Part Three

 The Temple’s Traps After spending time in the shade Chashathrophogh stood up and looked at the group. “Right, time to get into the temple. So what should you do during this time?” “Look for the way in?” He looked at Cerpheres, deadpan. “What!” “Access the temple door. It seems to have no doorknobs. So there must be a way in by a puzzle so-” She spoke as she looked at the door and lightly stroked it, looking for anything out of place. “-all we need to do is find any gaps.” She looked at each edge but found nothing. She would have huffed at noticing very quickly that it was a dead end, until she saw the waves that she recognized engraved into the doors. Yet she walked away and walked to the side and looked at the doors at the left wall. To see that it was writing of her native land! “‘Let the royal speak their title to enter.’” She translated. “What’s that?” “What it says here. So-” “All royals must declare what we are as royals.” “Prince!” Said Cerpheres. Nothing happened. “Are you...

Strena Quester Part Two

 Journey To The Temple  As it was night, they all decided to spend the night in the tavern. Yet, as she slept there, Strena looked at Orion and Darkector in her hands, thinking about what Chashathrophogh had said. That Phorap The Mad always wanted to visit the time before The Black. Yet, she too, now had that desire. She too wanted to know what was beyond the veil of nothingness that came before. She wondered if there were old relics of that time, hidden in those ancient tombs… “I wouldn’t think that there are.” Why not Orion? “The gods and goddesses of The First Age Of Gods snuffed them out.” Wonder why they did that? She thought as she drifted off. She woke up naturally early, feeling refreshed. She did not remember her dream, but all she did remember was the strange lion that she saw there. Well it was a lion that turned into a lamb and an eagle at will. The strange creature filled her heart with such peace that she had never experienced before. Yet they all had their bre...

Strena Quester Part One

 The Quest Board  Strena had just finished writing about all of Bash’s bounty hunts when she was approached by Chashathrophogh. She felt her stomach drop slightly yet she could strangely feel her heat increase as she tried not to look directly at him. Nor did she want to focus upon his handsome features. No, she had to focus on the fact that he would have killed her under any other circumstances and keeping as calm as she could. “That’s very neat handwriting.” He commented. “Thank you Master Chashathrophogh.” She said, trying to keep her voice as calm and emotionless as possible. “Alright! As I can sense that our dear Dark Lord and Dark Lady are somewhere behind us, probably near Animéga, I need all of you to sit down!” “Why?” “Who put you in charge?” “Do you want a punch my dear Prince Captain?” Cerpheres licked his lips and raised his eyebrow. “Don’t tease me!” He rolled his eyes. Bash and Zaryb pulled him down as Leonardo, an artist who they had picked up from Bash’s bounty...

Bounty Hunter Bash The Desert Bounty Lock Final Part

 The Journey On It had been barely a day since they had taken in Corah Chorak and Bash could not help but think about what he had said to her about her and Strena. She had a deep frown in the centre of her forehead as she looked at the sand and the horizon. She could still feel the heat of the sun beating down upon her. She felt a coat of sweat all around her, with the potion protecting her skin, she knew that she did not need to care. “What are you thinking about?” Purred the oily voice of Cerpheres. She gasped and was about to punch him but resisted it. She looked back ahead. “Nothing much.” He smiled as he came close to her. “Doesn’t look like it! Come on! Tell me!” “No.” “Ohh! Why not?” “Don’t want to give you any ideas.” His eyes lit up slightly. “What like the idea of a fire tornado?” He purred as his face had already become red. “Which, I have to say, that was good. That was very good. It really was such a t-” She punched him, then he looked at her like she was an adorable...

Bounty Hunter Bash The Desert Bounty Lock Part Six

 The Final Job “So are you going to stay here for a while?” Bash and Chashathrophogh called to Leonardo as he painted the temple and them. “No. I am known to be the fastest painter where I came from. Although that girl, Strena had potential to paint and work faster than me!” “Well, what do you expect! She has been trained by me!” “Finished!” He sang after half an hour and walked to the next town to the local bounty hunter’s tavern. “I’m going to see if there is a bounty hunter’s board here.” Bash said as she could feel the sun getting to her. She could also see that it was getting to Chashathrophogh too, regardless of how well he was able to mask it. So she soon found one and saw the poster on the board. “Found a good one?” She let out a cross between a scream and squeak as she accidentally punched Cerpheres. He smiled drunkly as his cheeks became coral. Yet he relaxed his face. “Tell me, when you left the bounty hunter’s tavern the other day, you looked very… flustered.” She roll...
