The Witch Within The Five Gold Rings Arc Part Three

 Smoke And Fire


Ringers' eyes had a dangerous look in them but she knew that this was because of something else. She knew that whatever this was, was far bigger than her. She knew that she would find out at the right time. She did not know why but she did. This was why it was better for her not to ask.

"Well, it seems that your sisters… The awakened shards of Grasharlo, wants you to know the truth of her parentage." He said.

She nodded as she thought about when they killed her parents and then her mind went over the time that she wrote about what she did to her adopted parents. She wondered if her sisters valued them as Grasharlo valued her allied patents? Did they see them as biological parents or must another set of adopted parents, just to be put down at the right time.

"I wonder why that is, after all, that does seem to be why they wanted to put me on this quest for the rings… So I don't know if I want to know…" She tailed off.

She felt slightly confused with some irrational fear.

"W-would it be wise to continue with this quest?" She asked, suddenly not wanting to.

"Yes, although I do wish to join you after you get the final gold ring. That way I will know exactly why they wanted you to know this. I have a theory, but just hope that I am wrong."

"How come?"

"It would explain everything and it would mean that many will be after you and many would want to find a way to kill you."

"But,  I am immortal." She pointed out.

He let a sigh escape his lips.

"There are ways to kill immortals Loc, some in a metaphorical way and others physically." He said.

She nodded as she understood what she had meant. She nodded to let him know this.

"Where are we going next?"

"An old village called Vyrcrot. It should be somewhere near your current location." He said. "We've been having trouble freeing the human slaves there."

She nodded slowly.

Maybe if there might be something there that will be able to help…

"I wouldn't bet on it." Lenume` said. "However it would do little harm to check."

Loc nodded as the screen went black. They both ate a sandwich before they took off. It was difficult to tell time in this place, they did not know how long that they were in the air but when they arrived Loc had to look at her fob watch. It told her that it was four o'clock in the afternoon. She wondered where all that time went, in this case they would have to have their tea, even though it seemed like an hour since they had their lunch. She could see that the village had houses made of wood and shiny black cobbled roads. She could see that the only light was coming from small candles with purple and green flames.

Fairies walked around freely as they held chains in their hands which were attached to men, women and children clothed in black robes and red rims. Their eyes had a dead look in them, they all kept quiet and at the same pace as their masters. They all, even the children, had emotionless expressions on their thin faces. All of them were thinner and paler than normal.

The fairies looked up as they flew over them, however the human slaves did not even take a glance,  not even the children. The fairies looked directly at her with a gleeful smirk as they looked at her,  but she knew that it was not her that they were seeing but something inside of her. She tried to put that out of her mind, she tried to focus on what she was going to do but part of her could not. She just could not get their gaze out of her head. She shook her head as she felt colder than earlier.

IfI find one, I will find a way to free you!

They soon spotted a cave and found a small and narrow place that they could only just land in front of. Loc walked to the door and when it opened she started to feel something heavy on her chest. She became all too aware of her strong and heavy heartbeat as it felt magnified. She stepped out of the air yot to be greeted by dark mist and she stepped on the wet grass and saw that the cave was covered in green, yellow and brown moss. 

Age walled closer to the cave and she spotted that from the moss came a dark smoke. Knowing that she was going to enter the cave she lit her flame then walked on. She was soon in the mouth and she came to a door and opened it revealing twin glowing red eyes. Eyes that dived at her, immediately she dived left but she felt something around her waist. Her face dropped as she was dragged back into the cave she twisted her hips to see exactly what she was facing, however all she could see was smoke! She fired a fireball at it only to reveal that it was a fire giant!

I need water!

She looked around to see that there was none in the cave. Her mouth opened as she scoffed at her situation. She started to feel herself start to sweat and a drop fell on it's hand and he let go of her and steam rose from where the drop fell. She dropped and took no time to roll away from him. She then got onto her feet before he could do anything. She then started to run and the fire giant chased her. He rose out his hand from it came a blast of lava. She jumped up and out of the way. She then fired a fireball at him. This only made it worse, however she saw that there was a slight tremor where she had hit. So she fired another. She saw that he got bigger and she fired another he got bigger. She did this again and again and she increased the temperature and he became bigger. She saw that the body of the lava giant became more and more unstable. She flew more at him and soon his body started to shake and then… Boom!

Then she saw rocks and lava all around her. She had to bite her lip as she felt the lava burn into the back of her hands and legs. She tried to keep herself from crying out in pain as she waited for the burning to end and then she felt the itching as she healed.

Seriously,  how do people cope with this!

She walked in and saw the gold ring and collected it. She left and then took a wash and changed her clothes. She looked down to see what the time was. Only an hour had passed.

"Len, how about some tea?" She called.

"I'd love some, though I must say, today's gone fast!"

She smiled and nodded.
