Bounty Hunter Bash Exile Lock Part Five

 Path Taken


They did not stop until the very early hours of the morning. They soon set up camp and Bounty Hunter Bash caught three rabbits and picked some herbal leaves and Chashathrophogh cooked two of the rabbits while she looked for more food. She soon found some blueberries and grapes and picked them and brought them back as he finished the rabbits. She gave them to him.

"Here, we can have them after." She said.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

"No, I meant thank you for rescuing me. Yet I know that now I have put a wedge between you and your mother. For that I am sorry." He said.

"That is alright. After all, I believe that there was a wedge between us a long time ago." She admitted, though it did little to comfort her.

He frowned.

"How come?"

"Only Father really got to know me there. Mother never even tried."

"Why is that?"

"I think that it was because I was too much like you and she did not like that. So I think that she wanted to shape me into becoming like her. So only Father allowed me to be who I am." 

He nodded.

"I do not think that I ever had anyone like that in my life. I guess that both my parents wanted to get rid of me as soon as they could." He said without a hint of his true emotion.

She frowned as part of her started to pity him. She thought that she had been isolated and lonely, compared to him she was nothing but a spoilt brat. Yet at the same time she could not quite know if he cared about what had happened back then for him to feel anything. Which may not have been as pitiful.

"Did you ever find someone to talk to about all this?"

"Yes. Yet he was more isolated than either of us put together! After all, he was a very troubled man with a very troubling demon inside of him. Though our teacher helped none of us. In fact she taught us both how to enjoy being cruel and killing. I do not know how, but she was always able to bring that out of us."

"Grasharlo...It seems that the Dark Lady is gaining a reputation… Do you think that she'll ever become just like the Dark Master Lord?" 

"No...I think that she can be worse."

She felt a shiver run down her spine, like someone had just stepped over her grave as she sat there eating her rabbit and ate the blueberries and grapes.

"I think that we need to get back on the road." She said, yawning.

"Yes, but we are not going anywhere without a sleep."

She nodded.

"Then I will take the first watch."

"Yeah. Wake me in an hour."

She sat there as she leaned against their resting horse. She took an arrow out and then clenched her hand around the head to use the pain to keep herself awake. She started to count the seconds in her head to help keep her mind focused. When she had counted to an hour she woke him up. 

"The hour's up!' She said.

He nodded as they were soon back on the road. Then passed another crossroads.

"Do you wish to change your mind?"

"No. I don't."

They crossed and they soon came to the road that led to the town that led to the sea. They soon heard the high pitched cry of the seagulls. They knew that they would be leaving this country. That was when they spotted a knight blocking their way. It was Sir Follied. Yet even as they galloped on he blocked them where they were.

"How dare you choose him over your own mother?! Especially after what he did to your father and brother!"

"Oh please! We both know that he did not do it!"

"Shut up! You both looked down on me! You never respected me! You always thought I was a fool but you are mistaken! I knew that you would come here so I took off to arrive here before you even left."

Bounty Hunter Bash looked at him. She was far too tired for this and she could see that his mind was far too broken to even listen to a word that she had said. So you willed him off his horse, yet because of her tiredness she misjudged the power she used and he flew faster and hit a tree harder than she would have liked. He fell down and slumped over, yet she knew that they could not afford to check to see if he was alive. Yet she got off the horse nevertheless. She then knelt and checked his pulse and then turned back to Chashathrophogh.

"Tell me, can you wipe his mind?"

"Yes."

"And place a false memory in its stead?"

"Yes. What are you thinking?" He asked as he looked around. 

"Take the memory of seeing us and replace it with him being mugged by some thugs and seeing us take the opposite turn to us?" She asked as she took the pouch of his gold.

He smirked.

"Yes. Yes, that is a good idea!" 

He placed his hand over his eyes and closed his eyes and said something under his breath that she could not make out. Yet it was strange, she liked the sound of the words. He then pulled away.

"There, I also added the memory, having us take the muggers down and chasing them off." 

She smirked and nodded.

"Then let's go."

They then got back on the horses and then they rode on to the border of the seaside kingdom of Seagrace.

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...

 A Closed Case And A Nasty Shock Within the hour they were taken to the police station where Scar handed in her phone, which had been on and recorded everything. 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...
