Strena Youngest Bounty Hunter Arc Part Two

The Job

Strena was glad that she was able to save her friend and even more that she did not recognise her. This meant that Zaryb did not kill her the moment that they had done rescuing her. This put her in a good mood. She even had a better nights' sleep. So when she woke up she was feeling very refreshed as she ran down the stairs feeling quite happy for a long time. She even hummed as she paid for her breakfast.
“Bacon and beans please!” she said.
She then felt the butt of a wooden mug hit her on the head.
“What're you so happy about?”
“The job! And I'm buying my first breakfast!” she said.
“And what is it?” he asked.
“Bacon and beans.” she replied.
He then turned to the cook.
“Then make certain to add cooked tomatoes.”
“But I don't like those!”
“I know.” he said as he smirked. “But you need to eat some more vegetables. Now while he's cooking that pick another job.”
She nodded as she walked over to the board and she looked for the cheapest thing that she could find on the board, knowing that it was going to be an easiest and took it.

Missing Dog

Help me find my puppy
Benny. He was last seen
by the river in my back
garde. He had not been
seen since.
She showed Zaryb the poster. He only skimmed it and placed it down.
“This one's easy.”
“So when do we get ready for it?” she asked as the breakfast came to her table.
“We don't.”
“Why?”
“Because we don't accept these jobs.”
She frowned out of confusion.
“Why not?”
“Because, it's a waste of time and it's easy to deduce what happened.”
“What?” she asked slightly upset.
“The dog got too close and drowned.” he said.
She felt hurt by that.
“But why don't we at least find the body?”
“No.”
“Why not? Won't it help them?”
“It would but I can't have you getting sentimental.” he said.
“What does that mean?” she ashed.
“What?”
“Senti...”
“Sentimental?”
“Yeah.”
“Get a dictionary.”
“What's-”
He threw a book at her. She looked down to see the word dictionary on. She frowned.
“A book?”
“Yes, a book now go and pick another, I think that you aught to pick that poster there.” he said pointing to the top right.
“But I can't reach up there!”
“Then go for one that you can reach.” he said.
“Alright.” she said as she walked up to the board again she snatched the closest out of anger. She then showed him. He took one glance at it.
“That is too difficult for you at the moment.” he said.
She looked at it and then read it.

Find The Lost Dragon Egg

300,00o Emeralds and 1 Ruby

Help Dron find his wife's dragon
egg, taken by a bunch of bandits
by the name of the Hunger
Highwaymen. They have not
been seen since.

“How would you know?” she asked.
“The Hunger Highwaymen are one of the notorious highwaymen out there and if they ever saw you they'd rip you to shreds like a pack of starving wolves.” he said as he finished his drink.
She returned to her breakfast and soon finished it. She then walked up and spotted one that sounded like it was put there for a joke but she came to the conclusion that, that was the one to pick.

Magic Duck Missing

100,000 Rubies

Find Betraror the
anthropomorphic
talking duck which is
said to have magic
powers. Return him
to the alchemists that
created him.

She then returned to the table as she laughed all the way.
“What has you in a laughing fit? “ he asked.
“This!” she laughed as she passed him the poster. He read it and was also laughing along with her.
“That is funny, but I do think that it is being serious about this one. Although, I can't believe that someone would actually do something like that!” he laughed. “Alright, we'll be going.”
They were still laughing as they packed and were soon off. They soon found out that Betraror was in the nearest town to their tavern. They opened the door and walked right up to the duck, which was, which was mainly covered in a black cloak to keep his true shape concealed, however his beak poking out gave away the truth.
She had to laugh as she saw his wings carried the cards in his wings like fingers made of feathers. He placed a pipe in his beak down parallel to his cards. The tip of his beak stretched into a bizarre smile.
“Remember, performance.” he said in her ear placing a hand on her shoulder. Without looking at him she nodded and walked on. She copied his action by placing a hand on his shoulder.
“Sorry to cut into your game, but I have to have a talk to you.” she said.
“In a moment, I'm just about to win big.”
“Wow you really can talk!” she exclaimed surprised.
“What?” he said as he turned to her. “What is a kid doing here!?”
She forced to gather her posture and coughed to clear her throat. She raised the poster. He looked at it, his pupils dilated. Then he relaxed and laughed.
“And what? A kid like you this she can take me down?” he mocked.
She raised her eyebrow.
“You do realise that she is being trained by me.” spoke Zaryb.
He looked up for a small and brief moment looked scared. She then jumped and hit the duck in his throat. He staggered back and he hit the back of his head on his winnings. His eyes closed she hesitated slightly before she came closer and made sure that he was sill alive and she then pulled him off the broken table.
“We'll be taking his winnings.” Zaryb said as he took it up and gave the coins made of precious metals and stones. “Here, hold these, you're far too weak and small to carry him.”
They soon returned him the the alchemists that had created him.
“What do you think will happen to him?” she asked.
“Hardly matters, and it is not our place to be moral.” he said. “No, they died along with your parents.”

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...

 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...
