Strena The Youngest Assassin Arc Part Five

 The Fifth Kill


Strena woke up in the tavern. She had given herself a day off. During this day she spent training with Zaryb. She had even bought her own and killed and skinned her own rabbits. With Zarybs' permission.

"Tell me, will you teach me how to do chickens next?" She asked.

He smirked.

"Sure."

She then meant down and looked at the jobs and picked one. She then ordered her food. When it was drought to her, she passed it over to Zaryb as she dug into her food. He looked down and smiled.


Kill Lolyrenna

The Witch


She has been a known plague

over our small kingdom of Joré.


She arrived at Joré three years

ago. At first she helped us but

the moment we brought her to

our king, King Rolagh she showed

her true colours.


She started to take our sons and

daughters for magical expedients.

Some would come back, those of

fifteen and on, would come back

with multiple babies in their arms.

Meanwhile others would never

return.


Then they took our wives and

they have never returned.


He put the paper down as he had read enough. He looked at her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, after all, I think that this would help give me more experience."

He nosed slowly.

"Yeah… I still think you would need more experience before you fight her." He signed.

"Why, do you know this Lolyrenna?" She asked.

"Yeah… She was born in the Lower Isles that is now called Fireheart, I believe. She left when she was thirteen, she was apprenticed by a man known as the Dark Master Lord. She's been pulling kingdoms down ever since." 

Her eyes widened as she nodded slowly.

"Right,  I think that I'll need to keep my wits about me." She said.

He smiled.

"Then we will do some training along the way."

"Yeah, it will be a long journey. So get a good night's sleep." He said. "I'll pack some food."

She nodded. The following day she was soon packing and they were on their way. They booked themselves into a tavern when night dawned. They then were on the next public carriage. She knew that after this she would make her vows to Lok. She looked at Zaryb and his scar, she knew that she would have one of those when she was a full fledged assassin. She didn't like that, since she had that knife in her shoulder she looked that less.

She knew that this, what she was becoming, was what Zaryb wanted and, by far not what her father would have wanted. In fact, he would hate what she was becoming, but for some reason, she did not mind as much as she used to.

Lunch soon came and they both ate their sandwiches, within an hour of finishing they arrived in the next town. They got off and made their way to another street and caught another carriage. They spent another night in a tavern. They arrived in Joré and soon found the castle and circled it. They soon found an opening in the side of a cliff.

The first thing that hit her was the smell. She looked down and saw what the cave was used for. She had to stop herself from gagging and gritted her teeth as she climbed down and into the cave. They spent a long hour in that 'cave'. 

"Seriously! How do you handle that?" She asked.

"I'm used to the smell. You will after a long time."

They then walked to the nearest door. He slowly opened it. He then looked out in the hallway and looked left and right. When he gave the all clear they left. She followed him silently and they came to the nearest room next to the Kings'. They were able to see the king and a beautiful woman next to him.

"Is that her?"

"Yes."

He then spotted that there was a door leading to the king's room. He then ushered her to him.

"I would like you to watch me." He said as he took out a few tools. He then started to pick the lock. Then they opened the door as quietly as they could. They looked around and then Lolyrenna placed a hand on the kings' head. She then stepped away from the king.

"About time you arrived!" She said as she stretched. "Thought you would come yesterday!"

Strena frowned.

"You were expecting us?" She asked.

"Yes, in fact little one, I have orders to kill you!"

"Oh?" She said as she threw a tiny blade at her, but the blade dropped. She then looked at her and Strena started to feel weak. She threw another at her and ran at her but she then slipped. Blade and girl landed at the same time. She could feel her body grow cold as the witch came closer and closer to her. 

Get up! Come on! Get up! She thought as she tried to get up but she could not. She tried to move,  but she could not. She put her weight on her hand,  she could do that. Come on! She's killing me! If I don't move she will kill me! It took all her will to pull herself up. She then slipped and hit her head. No! No! No! I am not dying here! Not as long as the monster that killed my mummy and daddy is still alive! At this moment she felt with all her will her determination to live. She felt conviction come as her strength flooded feet like a tsunami. She then got to her feet. 

She saw that she was weakened and threw a dagger at her that she dodged. She felt the hand of death return to her. She walked forward nevertheless. She did all that she could to not appear weak. She threw another at her and,  as soon as she dodged she threw another at where she would be. In her shock as she dodged that one which skimmed her, she let her go. She then ran to her and threw dagger after dagger. The witch was about to back away when she pulled out a large dagger and dug it into her diaphragm and rose it up right into her heart. She then dropped.

"I'm sorry my gods. I failed." She whispered in her last breath.

She was about to leave her and leave the castle when her eyes rested on a silver ring with a strange ruby in the center of a circle with strange writing on it. She then pulled it off and looked at it. It looked far too clear for a normal ruby. She put it on her finger, it seemed too big. Then she felt something whisper to her,  telling her to will the ring to always fit her finer. She did and the ring shrank to her finger. Her eyes widened.

She smiled then they left. They booked themselves into a tavern that lay on the outskirts. When Strena fell asleep, her dream was more vivid and real. She could actually feel and smell her surroundings. It was as if she was actually there! She could even feel and smell the blood of that man. When she woke, her eyes dropped to the ring as she got out of bed. She would return soon and she would be known as Strena Azlok. Oh how she wished that she could wait for that for an eternity!

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!
