The Witch Within The Five Silver Rings Arc Part Three

 The Third Ring


Loc was woken up by Lenume` they had arrived at the floating island of Límíng Hēilóng which translated to Dawn Dark Dragon. It had many castles, palaces and temples all in a circle where there were several villas and dorms for the dragonlords and dragonladies that were studying there. As she looked down she saw a mural of Demorset Tenebrae, who was the most evil dragon born. He was a purply black colour with blood red twisted horns like the antlers or a reindeer. He had the body of a slender western dragon and had wings that would eclipse the body.

With this Loc knew that this would not be as straightforward as the temple. She would have to think of a good stratagem this time. After all she knew that it would be more difficult to get the ring this time.

If this is what it's like collecting the silver, I don't even want to think about when I have to collect the gold! She thought as she remembered the zombie that she faced.

She knew that the moment that she left the air yot, she would have to look around before she looked for the ring, after all she wanted to avoid as many traps as she could. If there was none, then she would enter. She soon prepared her mind before she stepped outside the air yot. She walked to the castle that the mural was in front of. She circled the castle several times and took in every detail and as she was on the last circle.

"There are no traps to get in, but inside there are." Said a dragonlord. 

"Thank you."

"You will be leaving soon." He said.

"Yes as soon as I have what I came for."

"That is not what I meant."

"Oh? And what did you mean?" She asked.

"You shall know when the time comes." He said as he left. 

What was that all about?

She walked in and she soon saw a plain wooden door with the doorknob in the shape of a dragon head. There was a black glass plaque on it with ruby writing, as she turned to look at it she soon saw that the ruby letters had to have been formed by magic and put in there also by magic. It read, 


If You Are The Intended

Then You Will Pass

If You Are Not Then

You Will Come To Me

And I Will Use You In

My Next Potion Or Spell


Locs' eyes widened in shock at that. Would that mean if she passed through this door, then she would go directly to where Grasharlos' corpse was? Now that she had just thought about it, she did not even know where she was buried! Then again she was assuming that she was buried, her body could have been burnt. She also wondered if Sharimon and Gracey knew about what happened to the corpse of Grasharlo.

Hold on, what if I go to them instead! Struck a thought. If that happened all of this would be for nothing! Even worse, I would have not only played into their hands but I would have delivered myself into their hands! 

Yet either way I have to go on. I can not back down now, I just can not afford to do that!

So with that she took hold of the doorknob and as she was twisting the dragon head seemed to come alive and bit into her. Suddenly she felt a surge race through her entire body that seemed to be coming from the doorknob. It was like it was forcing her power out and there was nothing that she could do about it. 

She started to scream out and the door to the temple closed. She was trapped and all she could do was this rush of torturous excitement race through her muscles. This caused all the hair on her body to stand on edge. She felt her heart start to race like a cheetah. She then felt her mind rush like she was not only fully awayle but that all the cobwebs of sleep were being pulled away and it was running at its clearest state. 

That was when the trembling started, at first she thought that it was her that was trembling, but it soon became evident that everywhere else was trembling. She soon knew that this was because of her and the power that she has as a shard of Grasharlo. Yet the power continued to rise within her and soon the whole place was shaking violently. 

She tried to pull herself free afraid that this power that was being forced out of her was going to destroy the whole temple, and that what then a statue of Demorset fell to confirm her fear. Yet the dragon shaped jaws remained locked in place as her knees gave way. She soon heard more and more things break and fall around her. She wondered if this was happening to all the other places around her. 

Then when she could take no more, the dragon let go and the door opened.

"I was confused at first, however I now know better my mistress." Said the doorknob.

Still shaking and her muscles saw she forced herself onto her feet and took the ring and left the temple. She took a moment to regain her energy and gain control of her breathing before she lifted her head to see that everyone was looking at her.

Oh no, not here too! I just don't think that I can take another crowd at the moment!

Yet she saw that there was no anger or hate in their eyes, but, to her surprise, amazement!

"Urm?"

"Yes she is the one."

"How?"

"I do not know little one, there seems to be many things hidden but I think that they should remain hidden, for now." He said as he walked over to her and outstretched his hand. "Would you like a hand?"

She looked at the hand and then at him. Now it was her turn to be amazed.

Is this a trick? She thought. 

"Why would it be?" He asked.

She then took it and he helped her to the air yot. They even waved her off!

"What is that all about?" Lenume` asked.

"I...don't...know." She said trying to work it out by herself. Needless to say that she just could not work it out. 

"So where are we going?" She asked trying to push away the thoughts.

"Xue Sa Xi."

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.
