The Which Within The Books Of Grasharlo Arc Part Two

 The Second Book



It was two days after the first mission when she was sent on the next part of the mission. She was in the office looking at Ringer. 

"Are you tested up?" He asked.

"Yeah. I must admit that I hope that this one's easier. N-not that I'm complaining!" She admitted.

He let her words pass, though his eyes did tell her that he was mentally scrutinizing them.

"Anyway,  we will be sending you to Suze` located in the Jungle Plaines." He said. "Here she learnt a fair few things there and it was one of the many places that she could do whatever it was she wanted unchallenged. Here's your map, it will help you. However, as you will notice it is not that far off from the pyramid that you were held in when you spent your time with the Sunburners." 

Loc nodded as she stroked the black star in between her eyebrows.

"Right." She said as she remembered the star that she gave birth to.

Mortyamikira...I wonder what damage you're doing? I hope not too much damage….

"So be ready in an hour alright?"

"Sir yes sir!" She said.

The whole hour played out like the first. She was soon on the air yot before she knew it. She looked at her map as her mind went over what she should expect when she got there. Would she have to fight another knight? Two knights? Three? 

Oh, I hope not. She thought. I don't think that I could two of those things.

She then looked out of the window. The sky was turning a pale pink and then a pale purple,  like lavender.

Wait, how fast are we going? She wondered as the sky became a golden yellow. You know, on second thought, it doesn't matter.

She soon saw a pyramid that looked a lot like the one that she stayed in when she was with the Sunburners. The only difference was the fact that this one was hidden in the interwoven and overgrown trees and vines. She wondered how she was going to get in as she was slightly afraid that the wild overgrowth would block the entrance, or make the entrance impossible to find. 

When they landed it was a good walk away. She then turned and went to the door. The first thing that hit her was the damp moist heat. As she walked out she started to sweat. The bamp atmosphere only made it worse. She suddenly felt glad that her hair was short, she knew that with the long hair would have only made it worse.

She looked up at the pyramid and she was surprised at how small it was compared to the Sunburners pyramid. She walked up to it and brushed her damp long out of her eyes. She jumped over a root as she saw snakes slithering around. She then felt something land on her neck. She hit it and looked at it and saw a dead bug that she had never seen before. 

So, different places have different bugs and wildlife. Interesting. She thought as she heard the croak of toads and frogs and she could hear crickets. But I guess some things stay the same.

She soon saw the entrance, fortunately the entrance was clear. So she walked up and as she saw that there was nothing anywhere near the entrance she knew that there was something wrong. So she picked up a stone and she threw it at the entrance. The stone disintegrated before her very eyes!

Now how am I going to get in? She thought.

Just walk through.

She frowned as she wondered where that thought came from.

Just walk through.

She thought again.

No,  if I do then I'll disintegrate just like that stone!

Just walk through.

She huffed as she put her finger to the entrance. To her astonishment it did not disintegrate! 

What? Why did I not...Must be because I'm one third of Grasharlo. She concluded.

She walked in and looked at the map. She noticed that there were three main levels and a fourth which was strictly a bedroom. She climbed the stairs deducing that if the book was anywhere it would be there. When she got there she noticed that the bed and everything was coated in dust and cobwebs. 

How long ago since she was here? She wondered as she moved around the room. She saw a few books on the shelves, though she knew that none of them was the book that she was looking for, but she put them into her bag all the same. They may not be the book that she was looking for, but she had a gut feeling that they would come in handy later on. She then looked around the place and found nothing of value, however she knew that this place would be better off if Ringer cleared this place up. 

She then walked out and then walked down to the top level. She explored the level and she then, after scouting the level,  saw a book guarded by a sphinx statue. She walked up to it and then the wings of the sphinx spread out stopped her from going on. 

Oh no.

She looked at it as she felt her heart drop as she could tell that she was going to have to fight this thing.

How the Demon Realm am I going to be able to fight that thing?!

She then looked down to meet her eyes.

"Tell me child, I can sense the Dark Lady in you but the presence of another?" She asked.

"That is a long story."

"Alright. Then child why are you here?"

"I'm here for that book." She said as she pointed to the book.

She nodded.

"Alright, you can get it however you must answer my riddle first. This truth will prove that the Dark Lady lives within you. 

"I have truthfully families two, 

However the blood shines through, 

The water tried, 

And failed to hide, 

This truth every single bit

This truth, what is it?" She said.

She frowned as she ran through the riddle a few times in her head a few times. She dissected every single line like a morgue operator dissects a corpse to find out how it died. 

How does someone have two families, and what has blood and water have to do with this? And what is this truth? She then realised what she could be talking about. But that's...that's impossible! But yet it makes far too much sense!

"Grasharlo was not their daughter, she was adopted! Grasharlo was adopted!" She exclaimed.

The sphinx, for a moment,  was unmoving but she nodded.

"The answer is correct." She said as her wings tucked away. She took the book and then left the pyramid. She felt cold and she knew that she had a lot to think about as the revelation that Grasharlo was adopted made her think about a lot.

If her parents were not her parents, then who's daughter was she?

Well whoever her parents were they, judging by that line that that sphinx said, were anything but good.

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...
