The Witch Within The Five Gold Rings Arc Final Part

 The Riming Witch


When Loc woke up she took a wash. The bite that the ghoul had given her had healed up nicely and there was not even a scar for it. She had read somewhere that when a vampire ghoul bit into its prey the person that the vampire ghoul would not become a vampire. It had something to do with the belief that vampire ghouls were incomplete vampires so the glans that was responsible for turning someone into a vampire was also not complete. However there was one side effect, her mind was foggy and a bit of a slow blur. Which made thinking difficult. She blinked away the sleepiness as she knew that she would have to wait for her mind to come around and became more awake.

She slipped on some black leather pants that were loose fitting and with the inside having the fur still there, it made her legs feel warm. She then put on a dark purple top that ended at her wrists and a blacky grey jacket made of wool.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked at the black rose on her forehead and then her eyes slipped down to the black five pointed star in between her eyes. She then ran her hand through the crop of white hair slightly afraid that when her hair grew out that it would look funny. She did not want to draw too much attention to herself, not that she did not do far too much of that already…

I can't believe just how different I look after all of these years! I think that I really do need a break and just go back to Underground Town. 

Yeah, that would be nice…

This is what she had agreed with herself that after this mission she would take a week off to go back there. Remind herself that she had and could have a life after she had taken care of her sisters. She knew that it would do her a world of good to clear her mind, just a bit and even plan on what she wanted to do once this is all over.

She then got her breakfast as the screen came on.

"Good morning Loc."

"Morning sir, sorry I'm here a bit late I got bit by a vampire ghoul." She said.

He looked sideways.

"It's alright, anyhow the next location is by Lillith Lake and the fairy witch that you are about to face is Zillah Lillit, or Death Kisser as even one of her kisses are lethal. She is an extremely dangerous creature so do not let down your guard for a moment. And Lenume` I want you to join Loc in this one. She might just need a power up."

"Right, but after this I will need a good and long sleep." 

"Noted and remember-"

"Already on it!" She called.

She turned and finished her breakfast.

"So I'll take this to the kitchen and see you after I have that last gold ring."

"See you two soon." He called as the screen went black.

She then walked to the cramped kitchen and then cleaned up. She brushed her hair and cleaned her teeth. She thought about the food that they had and wondered if there was enough to feed then once Ringer was on board, never mind that, what were they to do with the sleeping arrangements? She thought about all of this but she looked out of the window, even though it was still a good deal into the morning it was still dark outside. She could see the dark water of the lake. They soon found a good place to land. 

She walked to the door after collecting her weapons and gave a few to Lenume`. Then they waited for the door to open.

"Ready?"

"Ready!"

They walked out and placed their feet on the shiny black pebbles and looked at the black lake. She looked down to see their reflection on the pebbles. They walked further out of the air yot as the door closed. They felt a strange heaviness in their chest as they kept their eyes out for something suspicious. They followed the river and they saw that it looked as black as ink. They looked around to see that there was still no light anywhere. However, Loc wondered why every kingdom of the Unseelie Court was covered in darkness.

"It is to do with the magic that the evil fairies practice. It attracts evil and unnatural darkness." Lenume` explained.

They came to a small hut that must have only had space for either one or two rooms. The circular wall was made of the same black pebbles as the ones that they were standing on. There was one single small door that was made of blackwood and the thatched roof was white, which looked like it was glowing. She saw that there were a few windows made of crimson glass. By the look of the light behind them it was all too clear that the witch was awake.

Looks like we've got a fight on our hands!

"She must love black as much as you!" She joked.

"Well black is a colour but it's also a shade, yet it's not my favorite colour." She admitted.

"Then what is it?"

"Purple, amethyst purple to be precise." She said.

"Like your shirt?"

"Yeah." 

"Well that's strange...I believe that was Rehos' favorite colour." She told her.

"Really!" She said as she raised her eyebrows.

They came to the door which was opened by a woman with skin as silver as the moon and eyes as turquoise as the ocean. She had ice cold beauty.

"Come little children, come inside, 

Where you no longer can hide!" She said.

They looked at each other in surprise as they wondered if they should. Realising that they had no choice looked down only to find that they were automatically walking in. They took great care to ensure that they did not let their guard down even for a moment. 

"I have been expecting you, 

And I can see that it is true." She said as she pointed to her.

"I see does live inside, 

Although he does hide."

She soon saw that her eyes had turned an unnatural shade of royal blue. Seeing her hair this close she saw that her hair had grown so long that it was touching the back of her ankles.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked as she took out her sword.

"Ah! The one that divided the three, 

The one that will cut the emotional tree, 

The one that shall become one with thee!"

That was when she started to feel dizzy and weak. She found that her eyesight was getting blurry. She stepped back a little. She shook her head and then charged at her. She dodged out of the way and she tried to summon her fireball but she was far too weak and she knew it. She then charged ahead but she felt like she was fighting like a drunkard. She then laid eyes on Lenume`,  who was on the ground. Her eyes shut and the only sign that she was alive was her systematic breathing.  

"Lenume`!" 

She then felt her legs give way. Zillah approached her and she felt her hands pulling her back. Her heart was beating so fast that Loc was afraid that it would give way. She found herself shaking as she knelt next to her. She could feel the vimet in the back of her throat. She then placed a hand on her chest. She tried to keep her head up but her head was soon banging against the ground.

Her eyes were now a light shade of purple and her maroon lips smiled as she touched her heart. She felt her breath giving way and she could feel ice cold. She soon felt her hand off her heart. She smirked as she then put a hand on her own chest and she saw that her hand seemed to become like a ghost. Then her hand sank into her own chest.

W-what am I looking at?

She then could see into the chest and she saw her lungs and her heart where her heart. She then saw that she pulled it out of her own chest! She then saw the fairies' heart in front of her, she could see veins and arteries in front of her yet the strange thing was that there was not even one drop of blood to be found. She felt her stomach churn as she saw the pulsing. That was when she saw it, a shiny gold thing around the main artery. The gold ring that she came for.

I did not expect that riddle to be so literal! She thought as she remembered it.

"I know you and I will meet again, 

When you are one with your bane." He said as her heart became like a ghost and she pulled it off.

"You will leave for a great amount of years, 

And put to rest a great amount of fears, 

Then to this time you will return, 

Your true power you will learn, 

Then I and others will come for you, 

Then you will see many plans through." She said as he put the ring on her shaking finger. 

She then bit into her finger and put it to her forehead beneath the rose and ten drew it down making a stem of blood. She found herself feeling that her body was on fire and she screamed out again and again until drule flowed from the corner of her lips. She then tasted a grim taste in her mouth that was like ash and vomit that was laced with too much sugar. She then felt her nose block up with blood and she could no longer breathe! She soon passed out.

When she woke up she felt fine and her face and hair were clean. She then got to her feet. She then felt weakened but she knew that she should not waste any time. She summoned her fire and then looked around she saw that Lenume` was unharmed. She sighed and then noticed that it was strangely quiet. She then spotted that there was no one else there. Zillah was gone.

She felt that her head was saw and she picked up Lenume` and walked to the air yot. 

"I see that you were no match for her." Said Ringer.

"No, no I wasn't." She admitted.

"Loc are you alright? Here let me look at you!" Morgan exclaimed as she hugged her and looked at her forehead.

"Yeah, I need some rest." She said.

"Then get as much as you need, I will fly us out of here." He said.

"How did you come here?" She asked.

"We packed early and came here. While you were away we were able to install two more bedrooms and we brought more supplies." He said.

"Good to hear."

"Well, get your rest and we'll look at the new riddles that have appeared."

She nodded as she collapsed in her bed.

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!
