Princess Cari Scattered Arc Part Six

The Cave

Ryo was glad to be out of the sun, he felt that even-though the shade of the cave was warmer than he was used to it was cool enough for him to be grateful of the break of the intense heat from outside. He knew that he wanted to remain in this cave for until winter here kicked in. He wondered if winter did kick in here. If so, then was that hot too. Probably so.
He travelled keeping his back pressed against the cave wall. He knew that, that would be the best place to be, after all if they were in the centre they would be exposed. They also knew that the manticor would most likely than not be able to their footsteps. He also knew that if it was the same size of a lion then it would be difficult to kill the thing. He started to wonder what the Chronicler was talking about when she said that taking it down was easer that he thought.
“Trick is to go for the tail.” she said. “If you cut that off then we will stand a fighting chance.”
He nodded.
“I will then show you what to do next.” she said.
He nodded.
“Right, but I don't think that it's a good idea to tell me the plan right now.” he said. “It can hear us you know.”
She smirked slyly.
He then spotted blue light coming ahead of them. He looked back to her and nodded his head back with a questioning look. She nodded and he nodded slower. He then turned back and walked to the light. He then walked up to the opening of the chamber. He placed his back against the wall of the cave and looked in. Inside there was nothing but a glowing blue pool. He then walked inside and he walked up to the pool. He looked inside and he saw himself dressed in fire and he saw a crown on his head. He was about to see more but the Chronicler pulled him away.
“What was that all about?” he asked.
“Whatever you was in there, it is better off if you forgot.” she said.
“Why?” he asked.
“Because that is a prophecy pool.” she said. “Now-”
Suddenly Ryo flew back and hit his back against the walls of the cave. He pushed against the wall as so he would not hurt his back side as he slid. He then flicked out his scythe and then landed and bent his knees to absorb the force that he was falling. Suddenly he was glad of his dragon side as a normal human would have broken his legs at the force.
He looked up to see a lion with the tail of a scorpion and wings like a golden crown flying fox. It had eyes like that of a reptile. As it opened its mouth it revealed a forked tong and his claws and legs were both more slender than that of a lions. He let out a sickly roar that sounded like a high pitched lions'.
He looked at the tail and as he ran up to it he flew away. Suddenly he wished Cari was here, she would be able to soot the wings so that they would tare. He then flew in close to him and flipped to sting him but he was able to dodge. He then felt the paw rise up and try to scratch him but he was able to move out of the way but he was hit and landed in a pile of rocks.
This gave him an idea. He picked a few up and threw it at the manticor but the manticor. As he came closer dodged out of the way. He then threw another which he whacked out of the way with his paw. He then kept throwing the stones until he roared out in pain as he looked behind him and spotted that there were holes in his wings.
At this the manticor let out a roar in anger as he charged at the boy. He then dodged out of the way of another tail strike but he was hit by the caws and the tail came within inches from his head! He was about to cut it off until to his horror, his scythe was in the pool! Quickly he got off and ran over to the pool and dived in.
At least this would give me a break form that cat! He thought as he turned back only to see that the manticor was swimming after him. He swam faster and faster, but the manticor was getting closer and closer, it came to a point that he ha to use his magic to get faster but then he felt a cut forming at the back of his leg causing him to stop. Then he reached the bottom to see that they were at the bottom of some old stairs. Where he saw his scythe.
He swam to it and just as he got close to it the manticor blocked him. He tried to strike him again and again but all the time he missed. However Ryo knew that this was still bad all the same, for with the water, the venom could spread throughout the water and enter his open wounds. So he swam away from the manticor and he outstretched his hand and used his magic to pull his scythe towards him, but he soon felt like his head was pounding as he found it difficult to stop himself from breathing.
To his very brief relief he got the scythe and he started to swim upwards, trying to keep out of the way of the trail of venom rising to the top. He looked down to see that the manticor was hot on his tail and worse, he was getting close to him. This gave him an idea, so he swam down and then gripped the fur of the manticor and then just as the tail went to strike he dodged and threw his scythe down and severed the tail. He heard the muffled roar of the manticor and then as he twisted Ryo kicked him in the backside forcing the creature to swim up. He locked his hands to his fur and then the manitcor rose and he slid off and then backed away as it ran to him and as he jumped ready to pounce he beheaded the creature before it his the ground.
As he panted the victor his head felt dizzy and he fainted from exhaustion. The Chronicler ran up to him and looked at his wounds and to her relief, none had any venom in.

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!
