Bounty Hunter Bash Quest Lock Part Two

The Bounty Hunter


For a while the two of them walked in complete silence. Not because they did not wish to talk to one another, but because they had nothing to say. Neither of them saw the point of banter for banters' sake.
They did not see any point in getting to know the other, nor setting up a connection either. After all, Chashathrophogh wanted to kill Bounty Hunter Bash Drew, and Bounty Hunter Bash Drew wanted to collect her bounty. So what was the point, even if they were family.
They did look at each-other, sometimes wishing to ask the other things about the family member that connected them. For Cashathrophogh it was whether or not his sister made a good queen and if she married a good man. He could not deny that he was curious. For Bounty Hunter Bash Drew it was wanting to know what her mother was like as a child. She had often wondered which parent she took after at her age. (Although she was realising that it was neither.) She wanted to know about her grandparents on that side too...
The silence between them was soon interrupted by the sound of wheels. They barely glanced at the carriage as it stopped by them.
“Ha! Where are we going at this early hour?” asked the man pulling the carriage.
“We need to get to the next town as fast as we can. Mind if you gave us a lift?” she asked.
“Sure you 'n' your uncle can hitch a lift! I'm sure that it ain't cosy, but the hay's comfortable enough!” he commented.
Bounty Hunter Bash Drew gave a worried glance at her uncle. He shrugged but kept his guard up.
“Thank you sir. How very kind of you.” he said as he smiled.
Laying it on thick there aren't you? She thought as she too smiled her best naïve and relieved smile.
“Yes, and don't worry about the hay. After all it's better than nothing. Don't you agree uncle?”
He nodded enthusiastically, with also the same false naivete'.
“So is this how you get to place to place?” she whispered.
He smiled deviously, almost as if he was showing off.
“A naïve persona makes people underestimate you.” he whispered back as they got on the hay.
They looked at the man as they set off.
“So, where are you from kind sir?” he asked.
“Ah! One o' the lower towns.”
“A farmer?”
He chuckled.
“Yeah! Of sorts!”
“What type?”
“People!”
“Oh?You- you're not-” she stuttered pressing into Chashathrophogh, to make it more believable that she was scared.
“Oh Strena no!” he laughed jolly.
She bowed her head as an uneasy feeling started stirred in the pit of her stomach as she knew that only one group of people curses by that name. A name that, she too, curses by. Her uncle gave her a look that he too knew what she had figured out.
“But, whatever it is that you do. Wouldn't it put a price on peoples heads?” he asked giving something for his niece something to smile about.
“Sir, I collect them!”
“But does- does that mean that there could be a price on your head?” he asked, dropping his persona slightly.
He chuckled.
“Planning on taking mine do ya?”
“No!”
“I wasn't asking you.”
Bounty Hunter Bash Drew quickly realised that he was talking to her, and that the man knew who they were right from the beginning.
“Depends on how much is on it!”
“Well truth be told, far too much.” he said.
“I mean, what price is it, exactly?”
“Oh, three emeralds and one gold.” he said.
Bounty Hunter Bash Drew's eyes widened and lit up.
That's enough to last us quite some time!
“And how much is ours?” Chashathrophogh asked.
“Well, that's the interesting part. Far more than I'd ever seen!”
“The number.”
“One Philosopher's stone. Each.” he said with a smile
Looks like my life as a bounty hunter is about to get more interesting.
She then drew her bow and took out her bow and quiver.
“Looks like I'm going to cash in.” she said. “Uncle Chashathrophogh, leave this one to me.”
“Please be my guest.”
The bounty hunter burst out laughing, although is was more like a roar as he pulled over. They both got out and Cashathrophogh sat there. He looked carefully at them. Undoubtedly getting ready to analyse her fighting so that he knew exactly what she could do.
“I'd like to see you try princess.” he said and then he looked at Chashathrophogh. “And you what about you princey? You gonna just sit there 'n' watch your little niece get butchered?”
“No, if she says she can handle you, then I am inclined to believe her.”
“So I assume that there's no love between you two?”
“No.”
With that said Bounty Hunter Bash Drew drew her arrow and fired. The bounty hunter dived aside but she anticipated than and fired another where he was going to be and it went deep into his shoulder. He pulled out a knife as he did, as he winced at the pain. He then flung it at her and she used her magic flew away, suddenly she was glad that she had magic, after all, if she didn't then she knew that she would be dead. She spotted another that dug itself into er shoulder before she could even react. This made it hard for her to use her bow. So the next shots missed, but in spite of that they almost hit their targets. As she soon was able to get her adrenalin up she was able to ignore the pain and she soon deflected another dagger with her arrow. She hit dagger after dagger until he no longer any left. She then picked up the nearest arrow and soon had an arrow in his thigh.
However he pulled it out and threw it aside and then drew a golden hilted blade, in the shape of a dragon and the blade looked like his silver fire. In the corner of her eye she saw that Chashathrophogh's eyes sparkled at they met this blade and a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.
So, you like it too...
She picked up one of the blades and arrow. With the dagger she deflected her blade and pushed it aside and then spun and with the point of the arrow slit the back of his neck right down to the bone. This caused him to fall, incapable of movement. She picked up the sword and unbuckled it's sheath. She then looked at the blasé for the name but there was none. She cocked her eyebrow. She then sheathed it.
“Here!” she called as she threw it to him.
“Thank you dear niece!” he said as he caught it.
“Your welcome dear uncle.”
“But I though that you were not closely knit?”
“We're not.”
“They why?”
“Because, my weapon's the bow, and he liked it. And, as I'm the bounty hunter that took you down, I have me right to my spoils.” she said. “Speaking of which, time for me to collect that price!”
They then moved to the nearest bounty post, which was places on the side of the road where bounty hunters would collect their bounty without going strait to a bounty hunter tavern. Turned out he lied, he was worth three silver. Not even worth it!

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...

Scar A Case With Companions Final Part

 A Closed Case And A Nasty Shock Within the hour they were taken to the police station where Scar handed in her phone, which had been on and recorded everything. 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...
