Princess Cari Land Cross Arc Part Four

 Jungle Journey


They landed in front of a jungle. It was very hot though there was more than welcome moisture in the air. They rose to their feet only to see a makeshift sign post wedged into the overgrowth.


Jenrahjah Jungle


"Jenrahjah Jungle?"

"Jenrah shah!" The Chronicler corrected.

He nodded.

"What should we expect in this?"

"Nothing if we keep to the path and as far as I know."

"Yet if that scorpion lady was speaking the truth, then it should be said that it could not harm to keep your guard up."

They nodded as they walked on the path and entered the jungle. They walked on the white gravel and as they noticed that they walked on a river bent and ran parallel to the road. As they walked on the river became wider. Soon Cari noticed strange rocks in the river that were in the water. They looked similar to dragon scales but not as beautiful. This told her that they were not rocks at all. 

She then spotted strange bugs that had four wings with a long needle-like mouth and were flying to them. The moment that the swarm hit the edge of the path it seemed to spontaneously combust and soon it was a pile of ash.

"What were those bugs?"

"Mosquitoes."

"And those rocks? They were not rocks were they?"

"No. They were alligators and crocodiles."

"And that low grunt?"

"A spider monkey."

"Wait, that's a monkey?"

"Yes."

"And why did they burst into flames?"

"There is a spell on this road. Which makes sense, after all of you think about it, people would never even dream of coming here with these dangers around!"

"Well done Cari. Her Phorap the Mad put it up."

"And where are we going?"

"Tattagonna Village. It would usually be a quiet and nice place to take a place. If you can take the heat."

Cari noted as she took a glance to The Observer. She hoped that she would be alright during the journey. She knew that his time in that place and the break of the sun helped. However she knew that if they did not get to a cooler climate the sun would get to him sooner or later.

"Do not concern yourself with me Cari. I have become well aware of my immortality."

"But that does nothing to save you from sunstroke. So do remember that and for the love of Strena, don't play the hero!"

He let out a chuckle.

"Believe me I will not. After all, I am not a hero." He chuckled.

Then his chuckles stopped and he gave her a look of sorrow. She knew that she had reminded him of her. Yet she wondered what happened to this woman. She knew that she died, yet she wondered why or how. She suddenly felt a strange stabbing pain in her chest. She looked and noticed that there was nothing there. So she shrugged and passed it off as a truck of the mind.

Either way it has nothing to do with me nor can I do anything about it.

They continued until they came to a wooden bridge. They entered a strange village with wooden cottages and circular huts. Some of these cottages and huts were even high up on the trees. Some cafés were nothing but a kitchen and wooden chairs with nothing but a thatched straw roof with wooden beams holding it up. Yet some of then were still green.

They noticed as they walked to the plane wooden planks of wood that made up the doc. Then they spotted that all the boats were completely destroyed!

"What happened?"

"Syssighhin. The serpent god. He came and destroyed all the boats." Said a villager in broken English. "If not the boats, then he eats children."

Cari looked at him. He had sorrowfulness in his jaded eyes that she could not help but feel sorry for the man and wanted to help him.

"Do you know why he does it?"

"He laughs."

"Know where he is?"

"Jungle temple. The old one."

"Do you have a map?"

"No. We Afgrégan. We remember."

She nodded.

"Do you want us to help?"

"How? He a god! Can not kill one."

"Maybe he's not. Maybe we can."

"Do it. You can,  then do."

"We will. Come on, we need directions."

"No. I make you map.'

He then pulled out some papyrus and a stick of coal from the fire and quickly drew one and passed it to her.

"Should get there."

She looked at it. Her eyes widened.

That's pretty good!

"Thank you, and we'll do our best."

"Cari, do you think that we have time for this?" Ryo asked.

"It hardly matters. After all, if we have no boats then we will have to take a more dangerous path. We will be late or not make it at all."

"Then we have not a moment to lose!"

They soon quickly ate and flowed the map to an old temple. It was a building that looked made of what looked like snakes turned to stone. Even the pillars looked like giant snakes made of stone! They walked up to the entrance and without a word, they entered.

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!
