Princess Cari Publove Sky Arc Part Four


Lethal Happiness

Ryo remained silent as they left the island. He sometimes took glances at Cari, who had been almost inseparable and was worried about him. Part of her knew why he looked at her like he did but there was another part that did not wish for her to even entertain the idea. It was barely worth it and it was all too clear that they all had moved on from all of that. Ryo even said that he had forgiven her.
But did he? Did he really forgive you? Or has he pretended to forgive you, just so that we all could focus on whatever it was that we all have to focus on?
I don't know, maybe...
“Ryo, you can talk to us.” Scar said as she placed a hand on his.
He looked away, completely unmoved . Cari could not blame him.
They could feel the temperature drop as they fell below the clouds. They spotted that the next miniature planet was the not only the size of a small moon but they could hear singing and cheery music. All the villages lights were all on and, as they landed they all could feel themselves getting, somehow, happier, like all of the cheer around them had started to infect them.
They could see that there people dancing and laughing in the street There was not one person without a smile on their faces, but their smiles and dancing and merrymaking could not hide the sweat on their brow, coming down like rain. Then there were their faces, they were deathly thin and their clothes were hanging on their bodies like the sweat was the only thing that was keeping them on their skin. They then spotted that even the necks of those that must have been obese before, whatever happened to this place, where now already halfway down their shoulders. And then they saw decaying corpses in the street with smiles on their swollen faces.
“What is going on here?” asked Oran as her eyes fell to them her face turned blue.
“It seems like we found out what this crystals' effect is. Now we need to get there.” she said as they galloped to a chapel. It did not look like the rest of the village, nor did it look like anyone had been here for a while.
“This way!” ordered Shighron as he clopped to the table in the centre of the stage and pushed the table aside to reveal a secret flight of stairs. As they went lower and lower they all felt happier and happier. They felt their hearts beat like they were beating along with a song. They all even started to hum and they too started to laugh. Even the Chronicler even looked like she was happier than usual.

“The low and high points of my life,
My struggles, problems and my strife,
Still led to something great and more
Though, I was pushed out the door,

Parents so far, far away
Alone feeling like a stray
There raised by their hand
Doing as they demand

Oh my true name,
My forgotten name,
Dawn of my life
Dawn of my strife
Will I ever gain
You ever again”

“That's a really old song.” Cari said as they spotted the yellow crystal.
It pulsed like as if it too was beating to a rhythm. They all looked at the crystal and giggled like children.
“Do we have to destroy it?” sang Ryo.
“Yeah, we do.”
“But why?”
“Because it's evil.”
Am I?
Came a lyrical voice from the rock.
“Yeah!”
But I give out so much joy!
“But people have died.”
They died happy.
Scar looked aside as she realised where this false joy. She looked at Shighron and placed a hand on his back.
“Horn of my unicorn give your power to this one!” she shouted.
“Stop it!” the others moaned as the beam of light hit the crystal.
“He doesn't like it!” said Ryo as he tugged weakly at her arm.
“Please, it's hurting him.” said Cari as she too started tugging at her.
“This is the happiest I have ever felt!” whined Oran.
She looked at the girl. She looked into her eyes. For a moment her heart went out to the girl. What right did she have to take away her happiness and joy? She felt that her hand was about to fall off his back, but she heard a neigh of Shighron.
“Don't listen to them. They will say anything to stop you. This was how I lost my rider.” he said. Scar nodded and closed her eyes so that she could not see their faces and eyes.
“Why are you doing this? Don't you like it?”
Yes, I do, but I know that it's not real. She thought, but she knew that she could not say it out loud in order to concentrate on what she knew that she had to do. She also knew that if she started to reply to their words they would used it to distract her.
“Come on! Can't you feel this joy and happiness.”
I wish that I could, but I prefer the real thing.
“I want to dance, but I want you to dance with us. Don't you want to dance?”
Yes, but that's the problem. If I did then I can't do this. Which it what I should be doing this.
Then came the crack. It sounded like a moment of relief. She opened her eyes and spotted the crack in the crystal. They then looked up at the crack. She could see that whatever the crystal was doing was wearing off. She saw more and more cracks and then smash.
They looked at the shards, almost as if they didn't know what to do.
“Come, let's get out of here.”
But then Ryo walked over to the shards and picked five up. He then walked over to them and gave them all a shard, first Cari, then Scar, the Chronicler and finally Oran.
“On these shards, let us not fight like this.” he said as he used his magic to put a spell on it.
“Agreed.” Cari said.
“Agreed.” Scar said.
“Agreed.” the Chronicler repeated after some thought.
“Agreed.” Oran said strait after.
They then left and for the next month they were helping the villagers recover and recuperate.

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!
