Bounty Hunter Bash Quest Lock Part Five

The Warlock

They made a great distance than the day before If they kept this up then they would arrive at their destination within a week. Provided that there were hardly any interruption along the way.
They were just another day's away from a inn when they the sound of of an old man scream. She heard the sound of the uneven pitter patter of a slow old man with a limp.
“Help!” he called.
“They soon saw him. He was dressed in black and white robes. Clutching most of it in one hand as he ran. Swinging the other like a pendulum in order to run faster.
“Help! Help!” he cried as he ran over to Chashathrophogh and clutched his bony fingers.
“Please young man. You have to help me!” he begged.
“And why would I do that?” he asked coldly.
“Because they're coming! By Sadesh! Why would the Hunger Highwaymen target me?”
Hunger Highwaymen? Now they could rack in some big prices! Bounty Hunter Bash Drew thought with her eyes flashed.
“We will.” she said.
Chashathrophogh looked scornfully a her. She took him aside and leaned in closely so that the old man would not hear.
“What? Why are we suddenly in the business of helping old men?”
“The Hungry Highwaymen are the most infamous highwaymen. If we help him then we will get a lot of emeralds for our efforts.”
“And you think that it's just a coincidence?”
Then the old man screamed. They looked back to see the gang had him at his throat! Knowing that they did not have any time to debate further. Bounty Hunter Bash Drew pulled out her bow and arrow. Chashathrophogh then pulled out his sword.
“Have it your way.” he said.
Then they spotted them but it was already too late for some already had arrows in their arms and legs. Then others had their head off.
“I thought that we had-”
“I know however I had the impression that I had to remind you for who I am.” he said he looked at the others. They looked at them and dropped the old man and started to run away.
He looked at the arrows in the ones that were alive. He focused his magic and pulled them out and before she could say or do anything the arrows flew in the air and the ones that were running away fell only seconds later. Leaving Bounty Hunter Bast Drew in nothing but shock. She looked at him in horror.
He then looked at the old man.
“Now old man, whet do we get for saving your short life?” he asked.
He flinched.
“Oh! How about this?” he whimpered holding two of his pendants. One with a red crystal and the other had a blue. Both were on a black chain.
Chashathrophogh threw Bounty Hunter Bash Drew the blue one. She caught it. For some reason the moment that she did she felt an immediate emotional connection to it as she put it on.
“See? That is how you reap your reward.” he said as he climbed on the carriage.
“Oh Young man!” he called as he held caught on of his hands.
“My gods command of me to be your slave for a year now that my life is in both of your debt.”
His eyebrow raised.
“Fine, just don't slow us down alright?”
“A-alright.”
Bounty Hunter Bash Drew climbed and held out her hand and helped him up. She looked at him concerned.
“Are you alright?” she asked.
He smiled and nodded. She then gave him a hug. He pulled away.
“Oh you're too kind!” he chuckled.
She felt a sting in her arm. She looked at her arm and spotted a small cut. She then looked at the old man and spotted that he was awfully calm considering what he had been through. He then put hid hands in his pockets. She was about to warn her uncle but her mouth suddenly no longer obeyed her. Now she knew what her uncle was concerned about. She also knew that this man was a warlock, a mail witch!
She turned to her uncle but he was too busy at the reigns guiding the horses. Then she felt something cold in the palm of her hand. It was tube like but she could feel the leather indicating what it was. Her eyes widened as it sank in what he planed for her do. She tried to use her magic to stop her from moving. She tried to shout for help, she tried to use her magic to signal her uncle but then her arm rose and she soon spotted that the point of the blade was pointing to her. Now she knew what he wanted for her to do. She used her magic to keep her hand away from her. Then she felt magic work against her. The blade started to get closer, she knew that he was deliberately taking his time. No, if he wanted to kill her quickly she would already be dead. He was doing this just to prolong the agony. She focused more of her magic to with her hand away but the power that was forcing her hand to edge closer and closer to her heart was stronger than hers. She could see that her hand and arm was shaking as she started the feel that her arm and hand were going paler and paler. They even started to ache.
She knew that she had to stop him. She knew that she would even have to do something drastic to stop him. She suddenly focused all her magic on the warlock. She wanted willed her magic to stop him. She willed it so much that she could feel every part of her will for it. She willed him to stop once and for all. She heard him cough. Then scream. Then he fell.
The carriage stopped. She looked. She knew what she did. The knife fell. Her vision became blurry. Tears fell. Arms embraced. She knew who they were. She cold not believe what she had just done. She did not mean to do it. She just wanted for him to stop. She did not mean to do it. She just wanted to live. She did not mean to do it. She just did not want to die.
Chashathrophogh knew what she did. He did not ask. He knew. He looked at the corpse. He rapped his arms. He let her cry. Like he had done once. When it was his turn. She was so much like him. He would have done the same as she. He held no judgement. For this was where he started.

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...

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 toa...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 Defending The Town  It was nearly an hour after sunrise when Loc saw the army on the far end of the tunnel. She looked back at Gina. She nodded and gave her a couple of coins with a dragon head on. “There’s a weapon’s shop at the edge.” Loc gave her the basket and ran to it. “Doyouhavammer!” “What?” “Do you have a hammer?” “Yes.” She gave him the coins. Yet then he looked at her eyes and his widened. “That’s enough for two.” He took them and took out two large hammers. She took them. She felt the weight and threw them in the air a few times. “Good weight!” “Hold on! You can hold them both?” “Yeah. Can’t the women of this world do the same?” “No. Not even some men can do that.” She raised her eyebrow, however she knew that she did not have time to appreciate what he had just said. She ran out as she knew that they were reaching the town. I need to take them away from the town. She thought as some passed her. She ran to the closest one. She jumped in the air and thrust her ham...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time. Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it. In the year of three after the dragon  defeated the royals and has taken all our first born and killed them. Then another dragon of great beauty and  majesty carved out pits where she  regurgitated up a strange liquid that made up a series of pools. Then the  rock dragon did the same and put the dead firstborn in. Then they all grew  rock over their flesh and came out alive and as rock. Then, upon the or...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Final Part

 The Piece  They looked at the piec. Doormaze walked up to it. She picked it up and took a closer look at it. She felt very tired as she looked at the other two. “Well, what are you waiting for?” She looked up at the castle as she let out a yawn. She then looked back at them. She could tell that both of them were tired. “What?” “We’re the only people here.” “And?” “We’re all tired and I don’t know when the next time we will be sleeping in a good and warm bed.” “So?” “I think that we should call it a night. Find a bed and take some time off tomorrow.” “Why?” “We all need it.” They looked at each other and they soon found a velvet royal purple bed. They flopped into them and went to sleep the moment that their heads hit the pillows. The following day Doormaze looked around the castle, wondering who lived in it and what they were like. She then walked into a library filled with dusty only books of all shades of purple. She looked at the spines with writing of silver and gold. Her...

She and the twins explained everything to them. Then a police officer, Detective Smith, walked in. “Well, Bea, Brit, what are youfoung here?” “Sorry dad, it’s just Scar was investigating that dead guy Bea saw get killed the other day.” “And ’cause she’s always in ’n’ out of hospital with terrible injuries.” “We were worried about her so we followed her.” He nodded with a stern frown. “But we didn’t know what we were getting into until we were caught! Promise!” “Well, your mum will be coming soon. She has been worried about you all afternoon. You know that she’s a busy woman and she gets worried when you don’t come home. Do you remember when you spent a whole day looking for that cat?” They looked down red and nodded. “Honestly, you’re lucky that Scar called ahead or I don’t know what would have happened!” That was when Br...
