The Blue Rock Enter The World Arc

 Final Part
Going Home

When I woke I felt something under my arm, as my eyes looked at it I spotted that it was the blue rock. Frowning slightly I sat up and slowly found myself on my feet. My mind was calm and clear like a pool of clear water in a forest without wind, and even-though I was cold I had no motivation to warm myself.
My hand reached out and opened the door. As I passed through the door I could tell that there was something different in the atmosphere. I could not place my finger on it as I reached the end of the corridor and when I passed through that door, the room that was made of the blue rock seemed to now be normal rock. When I looked back that is when my mind put together the pieces, it had not become normal rock, they were always normal rock and somehow, this rock under my arm had changed them into the same material as it was!
How very interesting! I thought as my legs moved up the spiral metal staircase and opened the door at the top. I travelled down the next corridor and then found myself back in the library still with the rock under my arm. I could tell time had passed, and that it was twilight. I frowned as I looked outside the nearest window. How long have I been in this rock? I wondered as I opened the door.
“Miss Blue!” I called as I looked for her in the library but she was not there. So I opened the door of the library and called again but none came. It's alright, this place is big so she might not have heard me. Maybe I should go to and look for her. I then ran to the other side and shouted for her again and this time heard a creek. I turned to see her. Her brunette hair had grey streaks and several shallow wrinkles around her eyes.
“Aqua? Is that you?” she asked as she slipped on her silk night robe over her thin cotton nightgown.
“Yes, Miss Blue, I am so sorry that I have been gone for a few days.”
“'A few days'? No Aqua, you have been gone for a whole five years! The war officially ended last month!” she exclaimed.
“What!” I exclaimed as she let that sink in. Her eyes dropped and there was a look of recognition in her eyes. She nodded slightly as if she did not need an explanation. She knew exactly what had happened. Now I wanted an explanation and my eyes demanded it.
“The blue rock...You've been inside it.” she said in a matter of fact tone. I nodded not knowing that it was not a question back then. Her eyes looked aside and nodded in response. “No wonder you have aged little...”
“What do you mean?” I demanded to know.
“Time, it's slower inside there. I went in there once with my sister and we were only gone for three weeks and when we got out, fifteen years had passed! No more no less. It drove our parents mad after we had told them, but I had agreed to go back and she moved as far away from that rock as possible.” she explained. My eyes dropped and nodded.
“Oh...I'm sorry...Here I honestly could not tell you why I still have it...” I apologised as I held it out to her. She cowered from it slightly and her face became pail and he hand went out. She shook her head and gestured for me to draw it back.
“No...It is yours now.”
That was when she returned to her room and got ready for the day ahead. I was directed to the dinning room by Alphonse Stian, the butler and told to wait for Miss Blue to come. When she did I told her everything that happened to me during my time in the rock. When I mentioned my thoughts about fighting by my father's side during the war she burst out laughing.
“I cannot say whether fighting two witches could compare to fighting with guns and bombs!” she laughed. I waited until she had finished until I continued and finished my story. When she did she smiled as if feeling a bitter taste of nostalgia. She looked aside.
When we were finished eating we were in a new blue car.
“It's the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Freccia d'Oro, or the Golden Arrow.” she replied. “They're in this year.”
Nodding politely I opened the door and we were off. When the gates opened we came to the road, which had a metal guard now and it was an actual road! Double as a matter of fact! Now I could appreciate the view without having a heart attack! And more, there were houses! I could feel myself smile as we descended. But my shock was yet to come for when we travelled to the train station, it was not a run down skeleton of a place but, it was a big place with several shops and a car park!
My mouth was open as we entered. How did they build this in five years? Never mind that! When did they build all those hoses back there?! Wow! I can not believe so much can change in such amount of years!
When I walked onto the train it was still the same train, but there was a smell to it, a smell that I was accustomed to but one I liked. I walked to a car and sat down and slept the whole trip. I then found myself on the ship with an odd feeling in the pit of my stomach. I looked down at the the blue rock. Was it that or was it the fact that I was different somehow...I could not quite tell back then, but I think that my intuition knew what I was about to find out.
I then could see my mother standing alone, her eyes were sad and scarlet and her cheeks were red. She had a forced smile her face but her lipstick was almost non-existent as if she had hardly touched her lips. Her eyeliner was all askew almost if it was applied with shaky hands. I knew something was up just looking at her.
Where's dad? I wondered as I ran and joined her.
“Aqua? How come you've not aged a day?” she asked her voice thick with forced happiness. I shrugged as she gave me a questioning look in her eyes.
“Never mind that! Where's dad?” I asked. She suddenly became sheepish and her head turned to her left where father would usually be.
“Home.”
“Then why can't he be here?” I asked she looked down and shook her head.
“That is not what I-I-I...” she stuttered as a single tear broke from her eye then another one cased after another soon her chin wrinkled and she drove me into a deep embrace as she trembled.
“No! Dad no!” I cried as I too joined in with the tears. “Not dad! NO!”
Soon the pair of our knees collided with the ground below as we were locked in each others arms both sobbing with our mouths in the shape of beaks.

The Blue Rock
End Of Arc

Will Return.

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 toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

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

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
