Bounty Hunter Bash Sea Lock Part Four

 Mermaid And Syrens


It had been a day since the pirate attack when Captain Herlock came into Gerald's office, where Bash and Chashathrophogh were helping him organise his paperwork.

"Look alive lady 'n' gents! We're about to enter Deathby Sea as there's a terrible storm on our usual route!"

At this Gerald's eyes lit up with an ambitiousness that they had not seen before.

"Oh my, my! Deathby Sea eh? Last I remember, that's mermaid and syren territory! Yet that's just a start!" Cerpheres purred from behind.

"Cerpheres!" Snapped Captain Herlock and Gerald.

He shrugged.

"Honestly, why don't I kill you?"

"You won't get paid!" Captain Herlock said. "Speaking of which, you won't get paid if you keep it up!"

He giggled.

"Scary!"

"Cerpheres!"

He shrugged.

"Don't worry I'll keep them calm!"

"Yeah, 'n' don't drug them this time!"

"But it did the trick didn't it?"

He then threw a creepy smile at Bash and Chashathrophogh and both could have sworn that he gave them a wink.

"Cerpheres! Could ye do what the captain says?"

He then shrugged.

"Don't worry I will!"

"But I think that drugging the passengers would be a good idea. After all, we all know how dangerous a syren's song is,  and we don't want any of the passengers throwing themselves overboard!" Bash suggested.

At this Cerpheres clapped.

"You see!"

Captain Herlock rolled his eyes.

"I agree with the girl on this one. If you do not put them all to sleep, you will lose passengers faster that way even if you put wax in their ears." Chashathrophogh said yet at the same time he refrained from saying something else.

"Alright,  you can do it just this once. Just ensure that there are no laying side effects."

His smile widened.

"I won't!"

"Now go!"

"Yes Sir!" He sang as he left.

"Honestly Gerald, how do you control that guy?"

"I 'ave me methods." He said. "Now are you two, are you any good at fighting mermaids and syrens?" 

"Should be."

"Good! Then I think they ought to get on deck."

"Good thinking, then I will get their weapons."

"Alright Sir, although I don't think that this should come cheap. We expect to be paid for this." 

"Sure, now come on."

They followed the captain to his office and gave them their weapons and they were soon back on deck.

"Are you not going to plug your ears?"

"No, we need all our senses."

Yet as they arrived on deck they could not help but have the feeling that they were being watched. Yet they could not focus on that as they waited for the ship to enter mermaid waters. They first heard the singing of the mermaids. Yet it was too far away to hear the words,  their singing was enhancing but overly so.

"Girl,  keep focusing on the battle ahead and do not let it waver, after all, if your will is stronger than their songs then you will not be enchanted." He instructed.

She nodded.

"I think that we ought to use magic in this one."

He nodded. They both walked to the edges of the ship and looked down. They soon saw the first mermaid. She looked up and smiled. She tried not to focus on her humanlike form and closed her eyes. She focused on the water and the temperature of the water and already knew the best way for victory. Yet she still did not want to kill them, so even though she willed the water to heat up, it only remained warm. She then opened her eyes to see this. Yet she spotted a mermaid shoot a trident at them. So she loaded the arrow and shot her. She then had to dive back to dodge the trident and landed with a thud. 

That was when she heard it, the most beautiful and breathtaking melody. It was so melancholic that she felt like her heart and soul were crying. She wanted to go to the origin of the don't and comfort the one that was singing the don't. She wanted to make it stop too as she could not stand it. She felt tears fall from her eyes as her heart was gripped with this strange sorrow. She could feel herself getting up and her hands rested on the edges. She was about to jump in until she felt someone hit her and she suddenly snapped out of it.

"What did I say!?"

"I know!"

He looked down and looked deathly pale.

"What?"

"There are more on your side than mine." He said as he turned to her. "Then we need to do this together. So do not waver."

She nodded. They concentrated on the water. They made it hotter and hotter. Then the water soon started to boil and soon the bodies of the mermaids rose to the top mermen too. Yet, even though they had survived the mermaid waters they soon came to the hard part; the syrens. As the singing of the mermaids silenced both could not afford to key their guard down.

"Girl,  I will warm you, the song of a syren is far more powerful than their cousins."

"Right. By the way, I heard that their songs carry wisdom to those who hear it. Is this true?"

"In a manner of speaking. After all their songs do contain truth within them yet it's more of a prophetic truth."

"Then if I fall under their spell, stop me."

"I will. But do not think that I won't punish you for it."

She let out a laugh as she heard the song. She spoon felt was she did when hearing the mermaid song yet this was stronger and it took all her will to resist.


"Beware the Captain Prince

That is more deadlier than thee

Lying words in truth he mince

Leading to the death of thine three


On this voyage soever dark

Our mother sea he uses as his first kill

Where more of us doth lark

Leading to a disappointment not thrill


His hunger and thirst will rise

As his second kill will see

A finger will expose his lies

And he will slumber bruitaly


The last will die at the voyage and crew's end

On the great island made of only coral

Killed by enemy who came as friend

Exposing the truth and lack of moral!"


Before the syren could start her next verse Bounty Hunter Bash loaded her bow and shot the first syren. She saw another open her mouth and she fired another shot. She then turned to Chashathrophogh with a plan.

"You boil the water, I fire the arrows!"

"Look who's giving orders!"

"Only logical ones! After all, you've got more experience in magic!"

He chuckled and nodded. He then looked down and then directed his magic to the water and noticed a syren about to dive out of the water. Bash quickly noticed her and fired and she fell back in the water. She then noticed another and fired again. She then felt the ship rocking back and forth. She looked down to see the many webbed hands of the syrens on the hull of the ship. She then willed the hull of the ship to have a thin layer of ice to cover the hull of the ship. This caused her to feel slightly weaker and the syrens to retract. She bent over as she panted and as she looked up she saw a syren in the air. She threw herself back and loaded her arrow. She then let it go and she fell.

That was when the screeching of the syrens rose to ear piercing levels as the water boiled they all dived back and some died as they swam away. They then turned to the other side to see that they were already dead!

"What happened?"

"I didn't do that!"

"Admiring my work?"

"Cerpheres!?"

He shrugged.

"What? I got bored watching all those sleeping passengers!"

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!
