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!

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...
