Princess Cari Land Cross Arc Part Six

 The Serpent God


They entered a chamber where there was a pool of water traveling around the rim of the room. There were many skeletons piled at all the four corners of the room. Some of then were smaller than others, in fact some were the skeletons of infants and some bones belonged to young people far too small to be babies that had seen the light of day.

They had to force themselves to look away as they walked on. They walked over a small bridge and their eyes laid upon a tall man with long black hair and light green eyes, in fact he looked like the snake lady just as a man. They looked so much alike that Cari would not have been surprised if they had been related.

"Welcome travellers!" He said with a deep and commanding voice.

They pulled out their weapons and looked at him. He raised an eyebrow as he smirked.

"Not very talkative I see."

"We are here to stop you from killing the women and children of the villagers and the destruction of their boats." Cari shouted.

He chuckled.

"In that case very well."

He then rapidly slithered over to them and rose up and dived to them. They all dodged out of the way as Cari tried to load her crossbow but he was already darting to get so she had to dive out of the way again. She then tried to load it again but he was already on her. She then kicked him in the face which gave her the opening that she needed. She was finally able to load it and fired directly at his heart. Even though it hit it did nothing. He looked at her and hissed.

She then jumped back as he slithered over to her as fast as he could. She jumped back again and again as he enclosed the space between her and him. She was able to load the arrow as she did. She then fired another shot at his head. Even though it hit and pushed him back, ultimately this did nothing either. However she spotted that there was blood flowing from the wounds.

This gave her some hope of defeating the creature as she thought of a plan to do so. She loaded another arrow and fired at the tail. He let out another hiss. Then she was about to fire another shot but then she saw the venom the moment that it hit her in the eyes. Her eyes sting as her sight was robbed from her. This meant that she would have to rely on the others.

Then she could feel his hands on her and she could feel herself shaking as he felt his breath on the bend of her neck. She was a fool. Nothing but a blinded fool. She knew that she should not have done this. Even though she did not want to die here she knew that without her sight she might as well be.

"Do you know what I would be if I killed you right here and now?" He whispered in her ear. "I know that one of you killed one of my many daughters yet I do not care for that. No I can smell it, that scent. No, after the others, I will ensure to savour your taste."

At this she knew that she had to get him away from her. Yet she could feel the grip on her arms was far too strong. She tried to knee him only for his tail around her legs to tighten. She could but move. This led her to use only one option. She willed his hands and legs to be set on fire with everything that she had.

However this did not work. She then heard something stab into the back of the snake gods' head. She then fell. The Observer threw more blades at him as Ryo sent a few fireballs at him. This caused him to be driven away from her. He then turned his attention to them. His tail hit her as he dived towards them. As he enclosed the space The Observer threw more blades at him as he jumped away. Then Ryo used his magic to set the creature alight.

He let out a loud scream as he twisted and turned in pain. The fire had burst out from every part of him causing him to five into the water. The Chronicler dived in after him pulling out a knife as she did. She soon spotted a tail and swam to him. She then waited as he noticed her. He then swam to her and she stabbed him yet this did nothing to so him from wrapping his tail around her. She then felt his hands on her and she spun and stabbed him again and again. He soon let go. She then went to swim upwards but felt his hand on her ankle. She immediately struck the dagger down and he let go. She swam higher before feeling the other hand she then struck down and he key go. She could feel her lungs cry out for air but she could not let herself give into the impulse. She was able to pull herself out.

She then had to lie there as he dived out of the water and headed straight to Cari. Cari then loaded her crossbow and heard the scream and fired at him. She willed the arrows to hit him. She then heard the hiss that told her that she had hit. She smiled as she willed the arrows to be set alight. He then let out a roar as he too became blind. 

He soon dived at her and as he knocked her down and landed on her, she kicked him off her and drove a dagger into where his throat should be. He pulled back as Ryo took her hands and she felt his scythe in her hands. He then guided her arms to behead him.

The others went over to Cari.

"Are you alright?"

She panted.

"Yeah. Is he dead?"

"Yes. It appears he is."

With that they took the head and returned to the village. They attended to their wounds and then put the head on a spike renaming the village Serpentgodsfall. They then rowed them down a river to a field where they docked.

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...
