Strena The Lost Princess Arc Final Part

New Life

Strena woke, her head was hurting as she looked up at the sun that was high in the sky. She squinted her eyes as it hurt her head even more. Then as she came round she widened her eyes realising what this meant. She quickly reached down to change only to realise that she never took her clothes off!
What was I doing to make me forget even that?She thought as she thought back to the previous night. Nothing. She thought on the day prior.
Well, I remember my first day of training, then I also remember making vows as a bounty hunter, then lodes of people bought me that odd tasting drink and then...nothing!Why can't I remember anything? Never mind that why does my head hurt?
She rubbed her head, hoping that it would help, but it only helped a little. She then turned to her door and walked out the door and down the stairs. As she walked into the room that went immediately silent. She could see that everyone looked at her slightly afraid and they had far too pale faces, even for these pale men and women. She even spotted that all the furniture in the room had been replaced.
“Are-are you sober now?” one asked with a loud voice. This made her head hurt even more.
“N-not so loud sir.” she moaned. “By the way stop looking at me like that. It's scary.”
They all looked at each-other with a suppressed scream.
“Well, you're scary when you're drunk. I mean how did you do all that last night?” one asked.
She frowned and curled her lip out of her frustrated confusion.
“Do what?”
“I told you not to do it.” Zaryb said as he drank.
“Shouldn't have done what?”
“Should-should we tell her?”
“Tell me what?”
“You almost took down the entire tavern last night.” Zaryb sighed as he finished he finished his mug. “Just like you father, destructive when drunk! Plus I did tell them that you're far too young to drink. Let alone getting drunk. Now c'mon, I want you to eat up and we'll be getting you a coat and I want to get a job done before the day's out.”
“Right.” she said.
Soon she dug in and eat as much as possible and was finished soon after. They were about to leave when they said their chant. She shadowed him up the cobble path to a set of shops. She saw shops that sold weapons and clothes, bags and food. Food that she had never seen before. Then a jewellery shop. Then her eyes dropped to a necklace. It had a black chain with five six crimson teeth and a black talon in the centre.
She was about to walk up to it, enchanted by its beauty. But she felt a hand on her back and manoeuvred her to a clothing shop called Red Thread. They went in and she met a plump woman wearing a long, black cotton dress with several layers of parts to it.
“So, Zarry, what can I do for you?” she asked.
“A coat for the girl.” he said pointing to her.
She looked at her.
“Alright love, what coat do you want?” she asked.
She looked at Zaryb and looked at his coral red coat that had golden cuffs with a pattern running down the collar to the tip of the bottom.
“One like that, but with silver where the gold is and with buttons at the front...and a silver ring in a black ring on the back, and inside that a cobra in an eight on it's side.” she said.
He looked down and raised his eyebrow.
She not only was finished within the hour but it fit perfectly. Even-though it was rough, but looked good on her. She gave a twirl.
“Good choice! After all it's well known that the bounty hunter's made by their coat.” she said.
Zaryb paid her and then they left.
“So, you still cling to your past?” he asked as he tapped her back.
“How did you know?” she asked.
“I'll tell you when you're older.” he said.
“So, how long has it been since you killed them?” she asked.
“I would say about two months.” he said as they walked to a farm. “Why?”
“I just don't want to forget that's all.”
“Seems fair, that's what I did when I was in your shoes.” he admitted.
“Wait, your parents were killed too?” she asked.
“Yeah, but I don't need to tell you about that.”
“Zarry! So where're you going this time?” he asked.
“The Kingdom of Dime or Darts.” he said.
“Alright.”he said as he got out a carriage of hay.
“Come along!” Zaryb called as they walked up to the carriage. They then picked her up and jumped up into the hay.
“Lie down.” he said as he lay down.
She nodded and did what he told her. The farmer covered them in hey to conceal them, but he made to be careful that they both could breathe. With that done they set off and Strena felt herself fall asleep as it rocked her. She felt a nudge waking her up. She woke as Zaryb picked her up and swung her on his back. Her hands gripped his coat. Then he ran that inhuman speed and the village that they were in flew past them. Hardly giving he girl any time to see the buildings.
They were soon at the Gothic castle gate. It was being pulled up by a chain. He jumped inhumanly high and then they were in. he looked at the guards and went pale and felt sick as she realised their fate. She berried her head inwards as she heard their dying scream. She felt a shudder run down her as she already felt their blood on her.
When she dared to look all that was left was a line of dead bodies. She then turned back to Zaryb, only to see his sick and demonic smile. The one that had killed her parents. Even further reminding her that this man was a monster.
“What's wrong? It seems as if you're about to puke!” he said in a voice that was darker and deeper than his usual voice. Almost perverted, like it was something else was speaking right now. She pressed her lips together as she closed her eyes, this voice was even scarier than his usual voice.
“That's better!” he sang as he jumped right through two windows and right into a kings' chambers. Then the king of this castle woke with such alarm that he did not call for his guards, he screamed. Then Zaryb took out a small blade and made a shallow cut in his neck. Suddenly he could not speak.
“Shh, shh, shh. Domn't be scared! It won't hurt much.” he taunted as he took out a dagger and gave it to Strena.
The king looked at her and then back at Zaryb in outrage and confusion. He then took out his blade ran to the girl and snatched her gagger. He then pushed the blade into her throat. They stared at each-other but then she felt herself falling and then she saw the arm beside her. He then pulled out her Orion and with one arm tried to kill them both. However the other arm went off.
“Now, kill him.” he said.
“What? No!” she snapped.
He looked up at her with anger.
“Why not?”
“Because his a mute cripple now.”
“Oh? All the more reason to.”
“I don't want to became a killer, nor do I want to hurt him. I'm not doing it!”
“yes you will.”
“No I won't! You can't make me!”
“No, but I will.” he said as she picked up her Orion and took her hands.
“No! Don't!” she begged as she cried.
“Well, you are going to.” he laughed as he forced the blade into his heart. He then forced her eyes open and watch him die.
This caused her to weep freely. She did not even hear the other guard came in. Her weeping dampened their screams. She didn't even notice the new blood mix into with the king's blood on her hands. Her tears even mixed with the blood. By the time that her eyes dried. She was in a blood red room.
“Now, Strena. Time to go home.”
She then raised a fist to him but her. He hit her. Everything went black. She woke up. Her back against the dirt. Seeing stars. She let more tears out. This was her new life.

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!
