The Anti-Fairy Tales The Ice Of The White Demon Arc Part One


The White Demon

Pheoshan and her companions had been travelling and training for a month after she was exiled by her father. She had seen that the snow had not subsided. She had thought that winter ended when New Years ended but Coalphyre had told her that it was about nearer the end of Nimon which was like February. At the moment, he had told her, they were in the final two weeks of winter. This she was grateful, she could swear that her fingers and toes would be frozen forever.
They could see that the night was drawing in. So they decided to set up camp and Phyredoor set up the fire as they set out to find a rabbit in hibernation. This was how most of their meals were obtained during winter. They then took the corpse back and Coalphyre skinned them and stewed it. They then handed out the bowls and ate.
Pheoshan spotted a lump of snow in the far distant horizon and they ate. They all spotted that the lump of snow as coming closer and closer and when it was time to clean up the lump of snow was next to them and took the shape of a woman with high cheekbones and long hair and her eyes glowed light blue.
“Hello murderer of my son!” she said in a lyrical and cold voice that welcomed one into icy arms.
Pheoshan frowned slightly, beginning to wonder what she was on about, until she remembered what happened in the Mirror Of The White Demon and it clicked.
“Yes, I am the White Demon, however I go by another name, the Queen of Winter or Winter Queen, whichever is easier for you to say. I do not need to say why I am here for I know that you are intelligent enough to figure it out by yourself. Believe me I know what I have to do and I know that I will like it even more less than you, so I will ask this before I do anything, will you join me or are we gong to have to do what nether of us will like?”
She huffed and shrugged acceptant of whatever she had planned. Seeing this the Winter Queen let out a long light sigh as if he too was acceptant of her choice.
“Then looks like I will be sending my snow owls to collect the prince and his sister then!” she sighed.
“What.”
Soon she heard a hoot of several owls that were louder and deeper than usual owls. She snapped around and looked up at the sky to see that there was five snow white owls diving towards them! Then as they got closer and closer they became bigger and bigger until to their horror they spotted that the owls were the size of a large door! And as their wings flapped it blew their hair around so much that it was getting in their eyes.
They tried to blink the strands out as it stung but the act only made things worse as strands got into the upper and bottom lids. Pheoshan took out her knife and had to cut her hair short to stop it becoming a liability. And she did it in time for she quickly spotted the tip of a talon almost reach Coalphyre and she threw her knife into the owl's throat.
She ran to them and plucked it out. She looked to him who also took out his sword and swung it at one but it's talons dug into his arm and his hand dropped it. Then the Winter Queen smirked.
“That is one of your friends on her way.” she said as she pointed to the sky. They both looked at each-other and then realised who she was talking about and they then looked up as if to confirm it.
“Phyredoor!”
They both looked at her in anger as they looked at each-other and ran for her only for a snow owl to dig it's talons into Coalphyre and whip him off the ground. Pheoshan spotted it and as she went in to cut him free she was pulled back and stabbed above her and fell and helplessly saw her friends and the last snow owl fly away. She heard a weak hoot from behind and in her anger picked up Coalphyre's blade and chopped off it's head.
“Well that was not very nice or ladylike!” she sang as if she was more mildly amused rather than shocked or angry.
“Well,” she sighed like a yawn. “It hardly matters, for my snow owls did their job. I would say that there is a chance, however you already know what I would say. I have decided to give you that chance so I will tell you how and to make it easier I will say it in rime. Come to my castle of Ice, girl not made of spice, follow my path, fall to frozen wrath, from here you must go, to the Fields of Snow. Now repeat it or you will never see your friends again.”
Pheoshan huffed.
“Come to my castle of Ice, girl not made of spice, follow my path, fall to frozen wrath, from here you must go, to the fields of snow.” she gritted.
“Good!”
She smiled as the snow dropped leaving her to pack up and quickly clean up. She then spotted a blue scroll as she put out the fire with her foot. She picked it up as she stepped on the pile. She opened it and spotted that she was going in the right direction. She walked and walked until she came to an icy road. She spotted a frosty pole with arrow boards with the one that said Fields Of Snow pointing left. She turned and walked on, not wanting to waste her energy that she knew that she needed for fighting.
She soon came to it which was several long fields separated only by ice coated white stones. She walked on and spotted the Castle of Ice amongst the mist of water vapour. She had to admit to herself that it did look beautiful. She took her first step onto the snow as a new coat fell lightly.
She set her foot on the snow feeling slightly guilty that her footprint would taint such a beautiful landscape. Then again, she knew that her friends were more important than beauty and since when had she started to have an appreciation for it anyway?
She heard a crunch after crunch and was able to see that there were blades of grass so frozen that they were broken! She felt a chill run down her spine.
This grass has not been frozen over the winter! She realised. Then this must have been frozen for a great amount of time...
She continued hoping that her feet would not get cut by the frozen grass then came some odd trembling though the ground and she soon fell. Her hands were only mildly cut but in this weather and shallowness caused them to feel less like cuts but as if her hands were on fire! She then spotted a large shadow in front of her. She tilted her head and spotted something that she did not believe existed, a Yetti!
She scrambled back as it came for her. She knew that it had been sent by the White Demon so she sliced it's overly-large human like hand and then as it roared she dug the blade up and deep into it's furry guts and pulled it out and as it fell she used her legs to keep herself steady. She quickly dug her hands under her armpits to keep them warm as she walked the rest of the way.

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!
