Princess Cari The Right Side Of Pubove Part Three

The Tree Of Illusions

“So, all we have to do is take down all these trees and then go to the next land and free then of whatever the Dark Master Lord had placed in that land to keep people imprisoned there. How long do you plan to go along with this?”
“Yes, and I plan to go along with this as long as possible, although, once we defeat whatever it is. Although, what that child said. I just can not get it out of my head!” she said as they came to the next page.
“Me too. Although I do have to ask, how long do you expect to be able to do this?” he asked.
“As long as I can. Although I have to admit that I have never felt like this free regardless.” she said.
“I mean avoid getting killed by bounty hunters and assassins?”
“As long as they don't have any immortal killers, although, I never took my vows under my true name.” she said.
“And how long do you think that it would be until one of them does?”
“I can no quite say. They are rare things to find and most of them were destroyed in the great wars especially dragon wars.” she said as she glanced to the sleeping Ryo and Cari.
He looked over to them.
“Tell me, are they the royal dragon hybrids?” he asked.
“Yes, and their mother is the dragon queen. The older, Cari was the one to kill her. Although she was weakened dramatically when she did.”
“How come?”
“I don't know, but what I do know, is that there was a rumour that the last person that she saw was the witch princess.” she said.
“Who's that?” Ryo asked as he stirred from his sleep.
“Your step-mother. As far as I an aware that he looks and rules better of now that she's been dead for months.” Kir said.
“And Riku?”
“He's fine and sometimes he gets help from King Alexander.” he told him. “In fact those two are as close as brothers these days.”
“Yeah...” he said as looked over at the sleeping girl. “I think that we have something to do with that.”
They soon came to the tree. It had blood red leaves and roots, with the bark the colour of dried blood. With scarlet glowing eyes showing an expressionless face.
“Grim.” Ryo commented.
“I know.” Cari said as she stirred. “I wonder what it cane do?”
“Can't say I know.”
Cari's eyes wandered to the pair of glowing eyes. She suddenly felt that they were looking at her and then her body became stiff and had no desire to move. Her mind started to hurt, like it had something that was penetrating her mind. Then her vision went black.
She then saw that she was looking at her sister's room. She saw Hikari next to her, she was seven years old. She was braiding her hair, even-though she did not like how she looked with the countless braids in her hair, she let her do them anyway. It always brought a smile on her face and that was all she cared for, regardless of what her kingdom thought.
She then finished one braid, one more to go until it was complete. She often wondered whether or not this was what it was like to have a mother as she sometimes felt herself daydreaming as her sister brushed her hair and then, sometimes she would fall asleep as her sister made her way from one side of her hair to the other. Her sister was always good at them, and brushing out her messy hair. Even when it came to the nots, she would brush them out gently.
Cari's heart ached from nostalgia. She missed her sister and father deeply, she wished that she could go back home to them. She wished that she could walk the streets of her kingdom again.
Why are you showing me this? She thought.
“Oh, you'll see!” Came a voice that she knew was not hers.
That was when everything went back as she heard a loud noise, no it was a loud roar coming from behind. They turned around to see a dragon descend from the skies. She didn't know it back than but she knew now, while she had often though about her, this was when she met her mother. They were paralysed with fear for a moment. Then Cari ran in front of Hikari to protect her but with a single whack she flew back. She was helpless to see her sister scream and as she ran to her, the dragon's claws wrapped themselves around her tiny body and she was off.
Her father did not return for quite sometime. No, only that day, he was out hunting with Earl, he had insisted that they were to go out hunting that day.
Hold on! Earl had insisted on going out hunting that day! Well, wouldn't it have been interesting if he had known that mother was on her way? What's more, that he knew that she was going to kidnap Hikari that day.
Yeah and if he knew what that would lead to?
Soon she snapped out of her memory. Her heart raced and her mind became as sharp as a blade. She knew that the only way that she would ever have the answers to her questions was to return home. The sooner the better, after all she knew that she would forget all about it if she left it too long.
Why had I not thought about it before? She questioned herself. Because it wasn't relevant.
“Cari!” she heard Oran shout, snapping her back into reality. Just in time too for she suddenly realised that her hand was about to be bitten off. She whipped her hand back as the mouth of the tree bit down onto nothing.
She quickly loaded her crossbow and fired an arrow at it. She then aimed for the eyes of the tree and fired one shot and another in the other eye. That way none could look in then again and become entranced by their gaze ever again. She then ran at it and picked up a flint but as she ran to the tree she felt a root wrap itself around her wrist.
Her vision became black again. She found herself surrounded by dead bodies. She soon recognised that they all belonged to people of her kingdom. She looked at her reflection in their blood. She could see that she was an adult. She looked on as if she knew where she was going. Like she was tracing steps that she had already taken before...A long time ago...Back in a much more simpler time.
She had a cross bow in her hand. And she saw that her quiver hand arrows of all colours and knew that they were all made from dragon scales. She could feel that her heart was heavy and her mind felt like it had too much in it. She knew, somehow, that it was filled with dangerous knowledge.
She soon came to the throne room to see none other that Earl sat where her father or sister should be sitting right now. She raised her crossbow and felt a fire in her and her mind was at piece than everything went white and her vision faded and she saw that the tree was nothing but ash.

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!
