Bounty Hunter Bash Pirate Lock Arc Part Two

 Decoding The Maps


Bash was dreaming, in her dream she was taller than she was. She encountered Cerpheres. She looked for Chashathrophogh but he was not there. He leaned on close and she could feel him whisper something in her ear. She could not hear what but whatever it was led her away. Then everything went black and soon she was in a room full of books. She saw the names of many of the Merthen gods and goddesses. Then she saw a woman. She had black hair and an ice cold beauty with crimson eyes that had an odd glow to them. She felt something in her chest then the next moment she was looking at her body, it seemed to be her as an adult. Yet she was looking out of a cage. Then her eyes opened.

She then found herself looking at each of the maps as she tried to get her dream out of her head. Yet for some reason she could not. She could not get the woman out of her head. She looked familiar somehow. She knew that she had seen a woman that looked like that before but her sleepy brain would not allow her to remember.

She rubbed her eyes then looked up to see Cerpheres, he looked identical to the version of him she had seen in her dream. Yet he was fast asleep in his chair. Her eyes went over to Chashathrophogh. He was sleeping too on his wooden bed. Then her eyes slid to Cerpheres. Yet as she looked closer at him a strange and uncomfortable thought slipped into her mind. One that regardless of how true it was, disgusted her nevertheless.

He's quite handsome.

Ugh! Where did that come from?

She shook her head. She groaned as she wiped the last of her sleep from her eyes.

"You're up early!"

She looked up at him in spiteful anger.

"What do you want?"

He licked his lips.

"Tell me, were you thinking about killing me?" He purred.

She rolled her eyes.

"No! And I don't think that it would be proper for a man your age to act that way towards a girl my age."

His eyes widened for a moment.

"Oh? And what do you mean by that?" He purred in a low and dangerous tone.

"I turned fifteen last week and you,  you are clearly in your mid to late twenties! And don't say back when you were born the martial age was fourteen, because now it's sixteen."

He relaxed as he chuckled lightly.

"It's alright! Although, I am curious, what were you thinking of?"

She had to hide her face.

"Never you mind!"

He let out another giggle.

"Wool you stop that!"

"You're adorable when you look like that! So are you going to wake the uncle? I'm certain that you don't want to be alone any longer!"

"Too late! The uncle's already awake! And will you keep away from my niece?"

"Oh you know I can't do that!" He purred. "I am in charge of you after all!"

He let out a low growl running the last of his sleep.

"Let's just look at the maps! Don't wanna do something that I'll regret."

"You talk differently when you're sleepy, it's cute!"

He huffed as he gave him the evil eye. They both sat at the table Capitalism Gerald had provided.

"Remember! The Prince Captain writes backwards!"

"Yes we know!" They snapped at the same time.

Bash and Chashathrophogh looked at a map each. She noticed that all the writing on the map was well written, almost like it was from someone highborn. 


🖤 Emoc niaga reev tsae 

Ym lamina sgnir ni thgin seimine

Ni emos bnal bna ton enod 🖤


She looked up and spotted Cerpheres looking at them with an excited look. She took out a piece of paper and a feather quill.

Right, let's write this down backwards.


Done not and land in

Enemies night in


Suddenly she felt some breath tickling the back of her neck.

"Cerpheres, could you back off!" She snapped.

"Just ignore me, okay!"

"Sorry, but I can't!"

He paced a hand on her shoulder.

"Learn to! You'll be fine."

She huffed and rolled her eyes.

"Are you going to get off me?"

"Okay!"

She shook her head as she returned to work.


Enemies night in rings animal my

East veer again come


No, that does not make sense, noir does it seem right.

She closed her eyes as she traced the words in her mind. She rubbed her eyes.

Wait,  why is east underlined?

Maybe that's a clue! 

No. Maybe I should write this in a different order. Hold on, remember what Cerepheres said he wires backwards, maybe that also includes sentences too!

Yes, that's it!


In some land and not done

My animal rings in night enemies

Come again veer east


Makes more sense. Now let's get the rest done. First let's go over the initials,  I M C, Imc…No, no island I know of is called that. Maybe it's the first letter of each line? Let's see…


I S L A N D

M A R I N E

C A V E


Then she looked back at the words and soon got it.


Marine Island East Cave


"Wow! You figure it out before Borevers!" Cerpheres exclaimed, clapping his hands together.

"Relax, that's only one."

"Maybe, but perhaps all the maps share the same code?"

"Oh? And how would you know?"

"Because I decoded them a long time ago!"

"And you didn't tell Captain Gerald because?"

He let out a sound between a moan and a sigh.

"I wanted to see if Captain Gerald could solve it! However,  he wasn't as smart as I thought." He whined like a dog, disappointed. Yet his eyes lit up as he looked at both her and Chashathrophogh. "But you two are. In fact, I can see that you two are more interesting to follow."

She huffed as she moved onto the next map and he did the same. They decoded map after map and soon they finished their work before nine. Cerpheres raised his eyebrow and smiled excitedly.

"Good work! I knew it!" He exclaimed as he pulled them in and kissed them both. 

They then could not hold back any longer and punched him. He fell back and chuckled. Their lips curled as they noticed that he enjoyed that way too much. He then jumped to his feet.

They turned back to the maps not even wanting to look at him. They laid them all out on the table and soon noticed that they were all islands in the center of Deathby Sea.

Then Gurter and Jax walked to their cell. Gurter looked at Chashathrophogh and smiled shyly as she looked away.

"Here, we brought you some breakfast." She said, presenting three gold plates of cheese and crackers. They took them and started munching.

"How far have you come?" Jax asked.

"All done!" Cerpheres sang.

"All of them?!" Gurter exclaimed.

"Yes."

"So soon?"

"Yes. Now I think that we ought to report to the Captain. But after eating." Chashathrophogh said.

Once they were finished they were brought to Captain Gerald.

"Good work! Ye really can work fast can' ye!"

"Well we thought that if we worked fast then we could get this over with and be on our way."

Captain Gerald burst out laughing as he clapped his hands together.

"Ye go' spunk kid! I'll give ye tha'! Bu' ye no' gonna be leavin' so soon. No' 'til we go' our treasure! After ye! Ye, ye ya can! 'N' if ye continue bein' good ye'll enjoy i' 'ere more. 'N' Cerpheres! Seeing as ye like 'em so much maybe ye can take 'em under ye wing!"

He smiled excitedly.

"Yes Captain!"

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.

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

  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!
