Princess Cari The Quest Arc Part Two


The Conspiracy

After leaving her kingdom and her home behind Cari made sure to put a great deal of distance behind her before she put up camp. She took this time to gather her thoughts and figure out where her sister would most likely be. She knew that the dragon did not take her out if the kingdom and across the Royal Sea for even a dragon could not fly that distance, not unless he or she had a meal or two and none of the witnesses reported seeing a food pouch on him or her.
She took out her map of the Kingdom Isles and a sandwich that the cook had packed for her. She took a bite and opened the map up. The Kingdom Isles were made up of a circular island which was Fireheart, and the land the others formed a triangle with Lightlot, the kingdom that she was in right now, being the only one that did not have an island. Mie'mory was at the top of the triangle with an island to form the arrow point of the Kingdom Isles and the other two parts were split down the middle ending at a faded point of the Kingdom Isles those kingdoms were Scorcher and Mortmore.
Right, so now the question is, where did the dragon take her, well, it can't be Lightlot, no, our kingdoms have been tightly knit since the foundations and they would not even think about betraying my father nor his kingdom. Mie'mory, also no, they are far too neutral for to have any involvement, or be of any help. Scorcher? Possible, after all they are closely knit with- Mortmore! It's Mortmore. After all for some reason they have always believed that they had a claim to Fireheart and seem to not even recognise the monarchy.
With her deductions she rolled up the map and finished her sandwich and put the bag under her head and closed her eyes. She woke up early in the morning and slowly dragged herself to her feet. She then had a small piece of chocolate cake for her breakfast. Then packed the rest away for later and took a small look at what the cook had given her.
Well there's enough food for me here to get to Mortmore, but not that much to get back, not without my sister. So, I'm going to have to eat half as much as what I would normally eat. No, more like an average peasant in the Dark Kingdoms. I sure wish that someone would just rescue them from those evil kings. I mean I bet the hounds eat more than they do!
With this in mind she slung the rucksack on and went on her way. She had decided to run to help strengthen her legs. Before it was time to eat again she was at the boarder of Lightlot and knew by nightfall she would be in Mie'mory and then came the hard part, getting into Scorcher. She then continued by doing a few sit ups and push ups then she eat half a sandwich and then she was off again. She did not stop until the sun was down and set up camp again.
She did even more push ups and sit ups before eating more of her sandwich. She swung the rucksack under her head. Then just as she placed her head on he bag she heard a wig snap behind her. She slowly took out her crossbow and as silently as possible loaded it. Listening closely as she heard a second and when she felt sure enough she swung out the crossbow and aimed it at the source.
Her eyes met a boy a year younger than her in black armour with white eyes and short black hair with skin so pail that one could wonder whether or not it ever saw the light of day! He had dark shadows under his eyes and just as dark lips.
Oh dart! A reaper. This was what people of that land called someone form Mortmore.
“So, what's a reaper like you doing here?” she asked calmly.
“Dunno, what's a Hothead like you doing here?” he returned the question.
“Looking for someone. Now tell me who are you and what are you doing here?” she said as she twitched the crossbow. He sighed and sat opposite her and warmed his hand by the fire.
“I'm Prince Ryo Kizeru and I might as well tell you after all, what harm would it do? We will have what's rightfully ours soon enough. Right now I'm on my way to see King Morin and tell him that this time Mie'mory cannot stand on the sidelines. Not this time.” he said.
“And why is that?” she inquired as her curiosity started to rise.
“Because we have an ensured win. After all my older half sister, who I never met, will soon inherent that land now that the brat's out of the way.” he boasted.
“Half sister?”
“Yes, that Princess Cari, she's my older half sister on our mother's side. What didn't that fool King Alexander tell you? Well why wouldn't he? After all we are the children of the Draganna. Yes that Draganna, the Dragon Queen.” he laughed. “That is why we have an ensured win!”
Her eyes twitched as she tried to conceal her shock. She was not only a bastard but a half dragon? Then that should mean that she should have a worse curse than she got! After all the gods had always cursed two typed of people, one bastards and the other hybrids. With that in mind she realised something.
“Half dragon? Shouldn't you be cursed?” she asked. Already knowing that if what he was saying was true then that should mean that they should have the same curse.
“Of course dim wit! After all my eyes are white, every time I use my magic I get cut and every full moon I painfully transform into a dragon!” he exclaimed “I even have an X on my arm to mark me cursed!”
She stopped her eyes from looking aside. She did not want to give him any indication of who she was. She had to hide her utter shock too, and pass it off as mild shock, for if what he was saying was true then why did she not turn into a dragon every full moon? What was it about her or him that spared her from this fate?
“So, what would happen if the plan of putting Princess Cari on the throne fails?” she asked.
Ryo looked aside and his lip curled and his eyes stung of shame.
“Then, when she comes of marital age my step-mother told me that I will have to marry that brat!” he growled. “Yeah, I know. Shocking isn't it? A Reaper and a Hothead marrying. The idea repulses me! In fact I would do anything to avoid such a fate. In fact if I had it my way I would much rather marry someone who I wanted.”
She looked down.
“Yeah, so do I.” she agreed suddenly realising that she had never even thought about who she was going to marry.
“Anyway, you go ahead and here!” she said as she gave him a peace of her cake. He took it with suspicion but took a bite and headed on his way, leaving, unbeknownst to him, his half-sister to think about a great many things, including what must be done after her half-sister is safely home. She already knew and had made up her mind and even-though none other than the people of her kingdom would like it, she knew that, that had to be done. She let herself cry over the decision that she had made but then wiped her tears away before she closed her eyes.

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...

 A Closed Case And A Nasty Shock Within the hour they were taken to the police station where Scar handed in her phone, which had been on and recorded everything. She and the twins explained everything to them. Then a police officer, Detective Smith, walked in. “Well, Bea, Brit, what are youfoung here?” “Sorry dad, it’s just Scar was investigating that dead guy Bea saw get killed the other day.” “And ’cause she’s always in ’n’ out of hospital with terrible injuries.” “We were worried about her so we followed her.” He nodded with a stern frown. “But we didn’t know what we were getting into until we were caught! 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...
