The Anti-Fairy Tales The Six Dream Hells Arc Part Two



The Second Hell

      Pheoshan woke up in the Second of the Six Dream Hells that she would have to go through in order to wake up again. One down five to go! She thought as she noticed the unbearable heat. She could feel that her mouth was dry without one drop of saliva inside. The sun there was like a furnace cooking her alive. There seemed that there was not a drop of condensed water vapour to be found that could shield her from the harmful rays of the merciless sun. She could feel that even the dry sand beneath her was just as hot as the sun.
      She quickly sat up and imagined a metal bottle of water and grabbed it. She unwound the lid of the bottle and as she drank the water it started to get hotter and hotter. Soon she had to stop as it climbed to boiling temperature! She then threw it away out of spite.
      She got up and started walking aimlessly just hoping that, out of sheer dumb luck, that she would find the place that the Dream Demon of this Dream Hell was dwelling. She could feel that the dessert was getting hotter and hotter the longer she stayed out in the open. It was getting to the point that she could swear that the sand was starting to turn into glass! She tried to blow on herself to cool herself down but that did nothing. She could feel that her mouth was getting so dry that she knew that she was either going to throw up or faint out of dehydration.
      In this maddened state of mind she spotted a cave in the distance. It's probably an illusion or hallucination brought about by the heat and the...Dehydration! Yeah that was the word! Her mind told her but as she got closer and closer she saw that it grew bigger and bigger. You know, I don't think that either illustrations or hallucinations act like that. She concluded. What if it is a cave like your eyes are seeing?
      Knowing that she had nothing to lose she headed straight to it. Soon she was at the mouth and as she looked up, she could not believe just how big the cave was and how deep it dug into the land. She then stepped in. Yup! This cave is real alright! She thought as she immediately felt relieved to be out of the lethal heat of the sun.
      Curious to where the cave lead she walked and walked until she looked back and found that some how she was still at the mouth of the cave! Huffing to herself she continued until what seemed like hours only to find that she had not moved at all in the cave. Was her mind playing tricks on her? Had the heat done something to her mind and brainwave patterns that gave her the illusion that she had moved when in truth she did not?
      No, this must be the work of the Dream Demon of this Dream Hell, as well as the heat outside. Pheoshan thought to herself. Well that means that there must be a way to get into the cave to meet this foe standing between me and my freedom! She deduced. 'Foe' have you listened to yourself?
      Slapping herself she gave one thing a try; she closed her eyes and imagined herself in the Dream Demon's layer, but by the looks of things there was still away to go. She was about to walk on until her vision blurred and she then fainted out of exhaustion. She had used up far too much of her energy.
      "Pheo! Pheo!" She heard the voice of her mother. She sounded frightened she thought as it faded as she regained consciousness. This time she was shivering it must be night in the Dream Hell. She concluded as she walked deeper into the cave wondering if there was anybody else that had made it in this far, she also wondered who the voice belonged to but then she remembered that it was the voice of her mother's! How could she have forgotten that? Was this Dream Hell getting to her?
      She then came to some old eroded stairs ahead of her leading down further. Beside her she spotted that there was another staircase, but this one was on a different level as if it was bigger than the one that she was on and when she could see the flat of the staircase she could see a foot as long as her body!
      This must have been the foot of this Dream Hell's Dream Demon. Pheoshan's eyebrow raised as she came to the conclusion that if there was anybody else here then if they too wanted to fight off this Dream Demon then that foot alone would deter even the most bravest of men or women!
      I am not like most bravest of men or women! She told herself. I grew up not only in one of these but with the Demon King Wolfox himself! This was all she needed to think to herself to get herself into a less afraid state of mind. She knew any other would have proven fatal.
      She thought about taking a rest as she reached the bottom only for her to see the gigantic mess of an insect with a golden brown exoskeleton. This must have been this Dream Hell's Dream Demon. It was breathing beep but then it released like a huff that sounded like a soft snore.
      Letting a silent sigh escape her lips. She now had one advantage; the creature was asleep and, back when she was Alex Fistone, she lernt how to be light and quick on her feet. That was how she earned her title of Street Queen in her Dream Hell, well back then she did not even know that she was even in a Dream Hell! Controlling her breath she imagined her katana and the head rolled.
      "I am afraid of heights and I am here to free everyone from here!" She demanded as the Dream Hell faded when the head ran out of blood.

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p...

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toa...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 Defending The Town  It was nearly an hour after sunrise when Loc saw the army on the far end of the tunnel. She looked back at Gina. She nodded and gave her a couple of coins with a dragon head on. “There’s a weapon’s shop at the edge.” Loc gave her the basket and ran to it. “Doyouhavammer!” “What?” “Do you have a hammer?” “Yes.” She gave him the coins. Yet then he looked at her eyes and his widened. “That’s enough for two.” He took them and took out two large hammers. She took them. She felt the weight and threw them in the air a few times. “Good weight!” “Hold on! You can hold them both?” “Yeah. Can’t the women of this world do the same?” “No. Not even some men can do that.” She raised her eyebrow, however she knew that she did not have time to appreciate what he had just said. She ran out as she knew that they were reaching the town. I need to take them away from the town. She thought as some passed her. She ran to the closest one. She jumped in the air and thrust her ham...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time. Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it. In the year of three after the dragon  defeated the royals and has taken all our first born and killed them. Then another dragon of great beauty and  majesty carved out pits where she  regurgitated up a strange liquid that made up a series of pools. Then the  rock dragon did the same and put the dead firstborn in. Then they all grew  rock over their flesh and came out alive and as rock. Then, upon the or...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Final Part

 The Piece  They looked at the piec. Doormaze walked up to it. She picked it up and took a closer look at it. She felt very tired as she looked at the other two. “Well, what are you waiting for?” She looked up at the castle as she let out a yawn. She then looked back at them. She could tell that both of them were tired. “What?” “We’re the only people here.” “And?” “We’re all tired and I don’t know when the next time we will be sleeping in a good and warm bed.” “So?” “I think that we should call it a night. Find a bed and take some time off tomorrow.” “Why?” “We all need it.” They looked at each other and they soon found a velvet royal purple bed. They flopped into them and went to sleep the moment that their heads hit the pillows. The following day Doormaze looked around the castle, wondering who lived in it and what they were like. She then walked into a library filled with dusty only books of all shades of purple. She looked at the spines with writing of silver and gold. Her...

She and the twins explained everything to them.

Promise!” “Well, your mum will be coming soon. She has been worried about you all afternoon. You know that she’s a busy woman and she gets worried when you don’t come home. Do you remember when you spent a whole day looking for that cat?” They looked down red and nodded. “Honestly, you’re lucky that Scar called ahead or I don’t know what would have happened!” That was when Br...
