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.

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!
