The Snow Princess

 

Princess Yukichi knew that something was up from the moment that her uncle led them away from the castle with their men. Yet the tension had been rising between them and him all their lives and yet she was too young to know why. Then all became clear when her father and mother departed from the party. Her mother took her by the hand and was about to lead her away until she was stopped by an arrow in the neck.

The young Princess Yukichi screamed as she was far too young to understand what was going on or how to react. All she knew was that her mother was dead and she was not coming back. She tried to move her mother but she might as well have moved a sack of sand. She tried and tried to get her mother to move but she could not.

"Bother, you dare betray us?!" Her father shouted as he drew his sword.

That was when her uncle raised his arrow to his chest.

"I do." He said then he fired.

Afraid Princess Yukichi ran from them and she ran as fast as she could, not stopping for a moment. Her terrified little heart pounded like it had never done before. She heard her pulse in her ear and the icy snow did nothing to help but made her even colder than she was. As she was hit by a gust of wind her black locks moved away from her back and neck making her more colder. She could hear her uncles' men chase her as she ran. She soon ran into the icy forest which she thought would help slow them all down. Yet she ran further and further into the forest, still running as fast as she could with already frozen tears running down her cheeks. Yet then she tripped and fell down a small cliff right into the snow below. When she hit the snow she immediately lost consciousness. 

The soldiers then arrived and searched and searched for her but to no avail. Some climbed trees and slipped and fell to their deaths. Not one of them could find her. They looked all around for her black hair but could not find a single strand, in fact they had not been able to find a single strand of black hair for a long time. Seeing that their efforts were all in vain they left little realising that the little princess was under their noses the entire time. For they did not notice that, as she ran the black hair became grey and the grey became white. This change of colour in her hair was caused by the great stress of what was happening to her and as she was already far too pale to begin with she was well camouflaged in the snow.

When she woke, she no longer felt cold and was greeted by a winter fairy who took her in and raised her.

"Do you wish to tell me your name child?"

"Yukichi."

"And where are you from?"

The girl looked away as she tried to search for her memories yet could find nothing but a black hole. She only knew her name and knew nothing but how to speak. Noticing that the girl had nothing, she decided to raise the child. As she grew she became bright and beautiful with the vold neger effecting her whatsoever. Her intellect was what the winter fairy put the most effort into and tried to find out who the girl was.

When the girl became twenty one she was discovered by her uncle, who hardly recognised her! Yet out of curiosity he engaged her in conversation and after seeing her intenegance he took her back to his kingdom to become his adviser. After a year he asked her to tell him about herself as he grew fond of her and her company. 

"I do not know much of my past nor where I came from, after all I was raised by a winter fairy that, try as she might, could not help me remember who I am. All I know is my name." She said.

He nodded with a smile.

"And would you care to give it?"

"Yukichi." She said and the moment the word left her lips he suddenly recognised her and drew his sword.

She looked down already knowing that he had intended to kill her and she became shocked. And yet when he went to strike her a gust of wind threw the windows open. He drew himself inwards to keep himself warm. Yet the room became colder and colder. He looked up at Yukichi and noticed that she was not being affected by the ice cold. Yet all he could think about was to kill her. So he forced himself to fling his sword at her and she closed her eyes and threw out her hand. Suddenly an icicle hit him in the heart  

Soon the kingdom found out what happened and news spread. They all looked at Yukichi and soon found out that she was Princess Yukichi and soon made her queen. Yet none would know the full truth, including Queen Yukichi, for it was no coincidence that the snow storm happened or that an icicle hit her uncles' heart. After all, all those years ago the winter fairy gave her some of her power, which she never knew about.

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...
