Strena The Youngest Assassin Arc Part Thee

 The Third Kill


"Alright Strena!" Zaryb called. "Time to get up!"

She took a moment to stir.

"What?"

"I think we need to train." He said.

"What? At this time?"

"Yes."

He soon pulled her out of bed. She was soon dressed.

"What will you be training me to do now?" She said.

"Killing" he told her as they came to the market. She bit her lip as she followed him silently.

They soon came to a stall.

"Zarry! Well, well, well, if it ain't my least favourite country! How've you been?" He asked, giving her a first bump.

"Not bad! I've been training this one!" He replied pointing at her.

He looked at her and raised his eyebrow and looked mildly surprised.

"Well, I heard the rumours but I never thought that they were true! Looks like I owe Ean a fair few emeralds." He chuckled. 

He chuckled with him.

"You don't. I killed him the other morning!" He laughed.

He let out a sigh of relief.

"So, how many this time?"

"Five it seven."

"You gonna kill 'em or keep 'em?'

"I'm sorry?"

"Oh,  well this is an assassins' town. So all meat you buy you must kill." Bellowed the man.

Suddenly she realized what Zaryb meant. She felt sick and she was worried. It upset her to know that he intended on making her do. Zaryb smiled as he saw what she had just worked out.

"Looks like she's brighter than I thought!" He said.

"Well I was the one who trained her,  so you should expect that!" He boasted.

"Wait, how long?"

"Since she was five."

"And how old?"

"Seven."

"Ain't she too young?"

"Maybe, however you know I don't have that luxury."

He looked at him with mild pity.

"Yeah… Does she know yet?"

"No."

"Will she?"

"No.. I don't think so."

"But-"

"I know."

Strena frowned.

"Now, come along!" 

He took his rabbits and he gave him the coins. She had noticed just how quiet the place was in the morning. Save the place was a dump and it stunk of urine and death, it was quiet all the same.

"Matter Zaryb, what were you talking about back there?" She asked.

"I'll tell you if I tell you."

She frowned.

They then arrived at the tavern and they walked to the kitchens. He took out one of the rabbits and gave one of them to her. She was then given a knife. She looked at it and her heart sank as she knew that she was about to be the last thing that that rabbit would see.

"Now, I want you to know that this will come in handy later. This is why you will do this out of your own will."

She looked at him slightly pleadingly. He shook his head.

"Here's a tip, if you slit it here it will feel the least amount of pain." 

She looked at it. She raised the blade. She felt her hand shake as she looked at it in the eye. She drew it down, but she could not do it. She dropped her knife and she felt the tears coming. Zaryb sighed. He picked it up and gave it back to her. He then guided her hand to the rabbits eyes and covered them. He gave the now-do-it look. She nodded and then put the blade where Zaryb told her and or took all her will to slit it as fast as she could. It hardly gave a sound.

"Good, now do the same to the others and I'll skin them." He said.

She nodded. She took another one and covered it's eyes. The second was easier for her. As she did each one her hand became steadier and easier.

"Right, now wash that blood away." He said and she did. For the next hour he taught her how to cook and then they ate it.

"Now, after this take a job." 

She nodded and she finished her food. She walked up and then came back with one. She then gave it to him.


Rorosh Shoreh

Of Thandrya


Rorosh Shoreh, also known as

the grim gangster, has been

known to kill young children and

women of his rivals and savillians for

fun. Please bring his reign of terror

over Thandrya to an end.


"Alright,  but be careful with this one. I heard this one had magic." He said.

"He does?" She asked, shocked.

She pressed her lips together.

"As the rumour goes."

Maybe I shouldn't take this one.

No, I took it, so I will do it!

"I hope that it is.'

He was soon finished with his beer.

"Now, time for us to get going." He said as he stretched. "I hate getting up early."

She finished her meal and after packing they were on their way. They saw a carriage and he pulled her in and slipped under the carriage and gripped onto the rails. They hitch hiked until they were where they needed to get off. He fell and hugged her as he rolled out. When she got to her feet her eyes were greeted by a beautiful hill. She looked around and spotted that the men and women were keeping their children close to them, gripping tightly to their hands.

She tried to look away to divert her attention and her longing to be one of them. She tried to not focus on how much she missed hers.

"What?"

"N-nothing." She lied. "So how will we catch this one?"

He looked around, his eyes narrowed as he thought. He did not give her an answer for a long time. She thought he had not heard her, however his eyes told her that he did.

"I think that we should wait for him to come to us."

"Why?"

"New comets always peak the interest of the morally bankrupt in every place."

She nodded.

They walked together for some time. She kept an eye out for anyone that was following them. She soon found that someone. He had sunburnt skin with hair as black as coal with his eyes hidden behind his long fringe.

She took hold of Zarybs' hand and tugged the sleeve of his coat. He let go and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked in the direction of the man. He rolled his eyes and turned her head away. He took her hand and walked on. They guided him to a secluded side of the town. Then they turned back and spotted that he was there.

"Tell me,  Rorosh Shereh, do you wish to die?" He asked.

He laughed.

"What and you think that you can kill me boy?" He mocked.

"No. She will. After all you are her job, not mine." 

He looked at her and his eyes widened as he laughed. He then pulled out a knife.

"Alright,  I'll humour you. Come at me kid!" He said smiling.

She then ran to him and he then let go of the knife. It fell and when it was at its lowest point, it then came up, just as she saw it rise up she blocked it with her own. She then drew it down. Which slid back and was about to slice her neck but she was able to dodge out of the way. She knew that the knife would only stop if Rorosh was dead. So she ignored the knife and ran to him.

"Look out!"

She turned back but as she raised her blade, it was too late and the blade imbedded itself into her shoulder. Pain flared up and eclipsed her mind and focus. She had never felt such pain in her life. She was in a moment of shock and her ears rang but once her brain had processed it she screamed out in pain. She screamed and screamed. She couldn't stop screaming. She could not even stop herself from crying eather. She had not cried like this since her parents had died.

That was when Rorosh laughed as he looked at her.

"Ahhh! There it is! That sound I love so much. Honestly womens' screams and cries are one thing,  but children… Now that sounds like music to my ears!" He laughed.

She looked at him. Soon she was filled with anger, anger that she had never felt before. She had never known the difference between being angry and being livid, not even when Zaryb killed her parents. That was until this moment. 

He's enjoying this? He's actually enjoying this! How can he? How can he enjoy this? I hurt and all he can do is laugh?

She was filled with a murderous rage. She had never wanted for someone to die in her whole life. She actually wanted to kill him with her whole heart. She felt something rise in her and surge throughout her body. She could feel it within every cell in her body. She one that whatever this was was always part of her. It was just dormant like a sleeping dragon that has now women up who's fire was aiming for this man.

She then realised that he had stopped laughing. He clutched his heart. He coughed and blood came out of his mouth. The last thing he saw was her ice cold look that was filled with fire just as she slit his throat. He was still twitching long after his death. Suddenly Strena felt drained and collapsed.

When she woke up she felt her bandage over her shoulder.

"D-did I do that?" She asked, thinking of the strange event.

"I don't know." He said.

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!
