Princess Cari The Right Side Of Pubove Part Five

The Tree Of Slumber

“Now for the final tree!” Oran declared when they were about to set off. They had spent a couple of days recovery. Now that they had recovered, they were all itching to get back on the road. They just could not wait to get this one over and get to the next land.
They all climbed into the carriage for the last time and was off and they landed on the land below before they even had time to register. It seemed that black unicorns were the fastest unicorns in the land. When their hooves touched the ground they were greeted by Count Ardulac.
“It's to give him back his unicorns.” the Chronicler said as she got out.
They took their things and said their goodbyes. They waited until they had flown away until they turned back and then looked at the map, knowing that from now on they were going on foot.
“We need to get here.” she said as she pointed to a large town. “It's a large town called Karisnow.”
“I've heard about that place, it's said that all those that go there never come out.” Kir said.
“Well, it's about time to find out.”
They then got to their feet and walked on and on. On the way the Chronicler and Kir had to take turns to carry Oran, it was one of the smaller moments that they were reminded just of how old she truly was. She even slept some of the times that she was. She would be able to walk a bit more and then she would get tired and Kir or the Chronicler would pick her up and carry her and for a while she would fall asleep.
They then stopped for lunch. They eat, even-though they had become aware of their supplies beginning to run low they eat what they knew hat they could. Kir and the Chronicler cooked some meat and then they eat some of that. They then cleaned the pots and then packed up and were on their way.
“After this, I would like to go home for a bit.” she said.
“Alright, but I will have to say this, whatever your worried about we will be sorted out.” she said.
Cari looked down and nodded.
“Also, we need to get to the nearest market. All our supplies are running low and some of them have started to turn.” she said.
“Agreed. Although, I think that I am going to have to go out on a hunt. We need more money too.” she said.
“By the way, what's your real name? I mean Chronicler isn't your real name right?”
“Yes, you are right, however I do not think that I should ell you my name just yet. After all, now is not the time.” she said.
Cari nodded, knowing that she would know the time. As Oran became tired and the Chronicler picked her up.
They did not get there until the following day and after a rough but a long night's sleep. However they all was hit by a grim scent. They came closer and closer and the scent had become stronger and stronger. They soon found out why. They could see that the food out on the marketplace were all off and urine and dung littered all around. They could even see that everyone around all had their eyes closed and they spotted that they were all thin and some were so thin, that they could see their skeletons were far too visible.
Cari walked up to one of then and checked their pulse.
“Alive.” she said.
“It seems like every one in this place is asleep.”
“What the hell?”
“It must be the tree.”
“Why would he do that?”
“Because not all foes can be killed.”
“Like you?” Cari asked.
“Like me.” she agreed.
“Looks like we know-Oran!”
They turned around to see that Oran was on the floor and spotted that the girl had collapsed. Her face was grazed slightly. They could see that her breathing became slow and deep. Scar placed a hand on her forehead.
“She's not running a fever but I don't know if she's going to be okay.” she said.
“Well, physically she will be, but once we destroy the tree the spell over her will be broken.” she said.
“So we need to go as soon as possible.” Ryo said.
“Well that's obvious.” Kir said. “Also I think that I will say to guard the girl.”
Nodding, knowing they were right they turned. Scar smiled at her, she had come a long way since they had found her on the Queendom Isles. She felt a swell of pride in her heart for her. They must have agreed, after all, even if she was not a normal girl, she was still just a girl. A girl that Scar could have easily think of as a little sister.
They walked away to the heart of the town, after all that was where it would most likely be. As they walked on and on they started to feel more and more tired. Their eyelids started to feel heavier and heavier. Their walking became like that of a drunk. They all balled up their fists and dug their nails onto their palms to keep themselves away as their eyes started to blur.
Just take a nap. Come on you have time. Just sleep and you'll wake up so refreshed. Come on! You will be better focus. Their thoughts told them.
They could feel their eyes started to roll up. Then Ryo fell and even-though he hit his head his eyelids did not even open once. He was out cold and he was not waking up until that tree went up in flames.
They did not want to leave him, but they knew that if they stopped now, then they would fall asleep and never wake up. They soon came to cherry blossom tree with a deep crimson bark. They were about to light a fire until both the Chronicler and Scar fell leaving Cari to burn the thing down before she joined her friends.
She fired her arrow at it. Her blurred vision made her miss once. She stumbled slightly as she walked closer. She fired another arrow and her left eyelid fell as she fired another and it also missed. She walked on and as she closed her eyes she fired another arrow. This hit and she picked up a rock and slid it along the metal and the sparks hit the bark and started to catch fire as she collapsed in slumber.
The fire started to spread and rose up. Soon they all woke up in a pile of ashes. As did everyone else.
“Wha' 'appened to Dremare's gift?” one asked.
“Who's Dremare?” Scar asked as she stirred.
“The goddess of dreams and visions.”
“That seems to be the second time that an evil tree came from a god. How every suspect.” she said.
“Maybe, maybe they're not.” Cari commented as her throat became dry. She wiped away the ash off her.
“What's that supposed to mean?” Ryo asked.
She let out a long sigh.
“Well I've been having this reoccurring dream where demons are wearing masks of our gods. Then I raise my crossbow up to them and I arm the bow with the weapon of the demon king and fire at them.” she said.
The Chronicler raised er eyebrow at that.
“That sounds strange.” Ryo said.
“Maybe the demons are masquerading as our gods to make it easier for people to accept the tress.” Kir suggested.
“Maybe...”

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!
