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.

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...

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...
