Princess Cari Publove Sky Arc Part Three


Ryo's Dark Temptation

“Well the next place is the highest island known as Spiarsha. It, you will find, will be a little more difficult to breathe there. Even-though the locals are used to the thin air, you are not So I will have to ask you to be as quick as possible and I must admit I am aware that we might find ourselves staying in the inn there but we must not spend more that one night there. Plus, I have bought some clothes for you all to remain warm for winter is on its way and combining that with the ever decreasing temperature as we climb will leave us all very cold.”
With that they all changed into what the Chronicler had bought them Scar looked at her purple coat looking more excited than all of them.
“What?”
“I look like a cosplayer about to go into a convention.” she said.
“What?”
“Never mind.”
They were soon off and over the island with only one village and a cave. Even-though it was large it was not particularly too large, big enough for a fortress and several castles and even them the small village would still fit, but it was all too clear that the village would have had to control the amount of people that were born into the village, lest they would quickly run out of space.
They found that, just as the Chronicler had told them, the air was thin and difficult to breathe, they could see Oran was breathing rapidly, like she had just ran a marathon. They rest of them had to force themselves not to do the same, but they did start to feel dizzy and sleepy. This, Scar knew that due to the lack of oxygen in the air.
They then came closer to the village only to see that they were all racing out to where they were going to have to land. They had anger in their eyes and lips so tight that not even air could pass through them. Their pail faces were a very sickly red. It was all too clear that if looks could kill they would have all been dead.
Then just as they landed the villagers raced to where they were and then just as they reached the lot, the unicorns detached themselves and marched in front of the carriage Yamkuro turned to them.
“Which of us do you require?”
“Maruna.” she said.
With that Yamkuro gripped the hair of one of them and pulled them up and onto her slender back. He then tapped her behind with the side of his horn. Then they were off leaving the unicorns to fend of the unusually angry villagers. And they let out a light from their horns and some of them were on the floor and others hand the back of their neck sliced very shallowly by some of the tips of their horns.
“They really know how to fight!” exclaimed Scar as they disappeared in the distance.
They were soon at the cave.
“What was all that about?”
“Did the crystal brainwash them?”
“Yes and they were made addicted to their brainwashing, so they would have had no motive to get rid of the crystal when it was time to activate them.” she explained.
“Activate them?” Scar repeated as they entered the cave.
“Here.” the Chronicler said as she passed her the book.
She flicked through a few pages until she came to the crystals.

The crystal network, the skies of Publuve, Gresphath, Gantdora and Husk. When activated the crystals shall put a spell on all those who lived in these places and their bloodline to join my army. The towers and trees below these places will keep anyone form doing anything about the crystals, and I am far too feared for anyone to dare to oppose me.

Her eyes widened.
“The-”
“Yes.”
They soon were at the white crystal. It seemed absurd that such pain and destruction could come from such a beautiful thing. Why did it have to be like this? Why did they have to be continually fighting? What were they even fighting for anyway? Would it not be easer to give in and allow the crystal to be? It was doing no harm. This concerned none of them. In fact there was nothing stopping Ryo from going home. To the Demon Realm with all of this talk of destiny and prophecy. To the Demon realm sweating and bleeding over these things.
“Unicorn of my horn give your power to this one!” Scar called, clearly not wanting to be drawn into whatever desires the crystal was giving her.
That was when the first crack appeared and suddenly Ryo was filled with fear. Suddenly he did not want the crystal to die. He, somehow knew that this thing, no this crystallised angel, was the only thing that truly knew and understood him. This crystal was the only thing that ever wanted to be his friend. This crystal would not betray him like his father when he married his step-mother, like his mother when telling him that if his half-sister did not become queen of Fireheart then he would have to marry her half-sister, like his half-sister, who had told on him and certainly like his evil witch of a step-mother, who had tried to kill him once his half-brother came into the world.
What was he doing fighting with her? What had possessed him to forgive her? Why hadn't he got revenge on her yet? Why was he protecting her and keeping her safe?
His eyes slid to her older red-eyed double and broke the connection between her and Manura.
“Ryo!”
Scar felt the hit in her face before she was aware of what happened. She then dug her two fingers into his gut and then added the pressure to wind him. She got to her feet as he pulled out a dagger. It became clear what had happened to him and what he wanted to do.
Knowing that he was really going to cut her she tried to pull out Darkector but he was being stubborn. She tried pulling and pulling. Why wasn't he letting her draw him? She thought angrily. Then he sprung out of his sheath, just in time to catch Ryos' blade before it could dig itself into her throat.
She then drew the point of the blade away from her and then hit him in the face but he then took out his scythe and that was when an arrow hit him in the arm. He looked aside to see that Cari had drawn her crossbow. He narrowed his eyes at her and, if looks could kill Cari would be dust. He then charged at her and tried to slice her head but she blocked it with the underbelly of her cross bow and hit him in the chest.
“What's happened to you?” she asked him.
His eyes went to the crystal.
“My eyes were finally opened.” he said as he kicked her away.
Scar placed a hand on Manuras' back again.
“Unicorn of my horn, give your power to this one!” she shouted and soon the beam of light was back on the crystal.
“No!” Ryo shouted as he ran at her again. Realising what was going on Cari used her magic to pull him back and hit the back of his head with the handle of the crossbow, but this didn't seem to phase him as he turned back to her and dug the knife into her collar bone. She then let out a scream as she had not even felt pain like this before. Just as she felt a cut open in her forearm.
Scar looked back and spotted that Ryo was charging at her, forcing her to break off her hand, yet again to fight Ryo. She looked at Darkector as if to communicate with her emotions that she needed his help for this one. She felt a response back saying that he will.
She raised him into a pose that she had seen in anime and cartoons. He raised his scythe and went to strike down but Scar felt the sword tug her arm up and caught his blade.
“Woah!” she exclaimed as he pulled her inwards. She felt her elbow plant itself firmly into his chest.
“Oran! I think you aught to try to see if you can. If so I'll hold him off until then!” she shouted.
Oran nodded and ran as fast as she could to Manura. Scar ran over to her and picked her up and placed her on Manuras' back. But then Ryo came and she then pushed him away.
“What do I do?” she asked scaired.
“Say horn of my unicorn, give your power to this one!” she shouted as her arm was jerked down causing her to fall onto the ground.
Shaking all over Oran placed her hands on the unicorns' back.
“H-horn o-of m-my u-unicorn, g-g-give your p-power to th-this one!” she shouted. Soon the power was coming out of her and into the unicorn and a beam of light came from her horn but, unlike with Scar this beam was weaker and unstable.
“N, no!” Ryo shouted as he ran to her but Scar, being dragged by Darkector got there first. But by then the crystal shattered and Ryo passed out in Scars' arms.

*

Later, when Ryo woke up, he woke up screaming and he felt tears run down his face. He then felt arms wrapped around him.
“Shh, shh. It's alright, it wasn't your fault. There, there...” he heard Cari whisper into his ear and she rocked him back into sleep.
“I'm sorry.” was the last thing he heard before he fell into dream.

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!
