Bounty Hunter Bash Pirate Lock Arc Part Fourteen

 Island Of Trials


They circled the island that morning, looking for a good place to doc then find a way to get onto the island. The ship was dwarfed in front of the high cliffs the size of mountains. Yet there seemed to be only one way in and that was a cave the size of a small mountain. So Captain Gerald steered the ship inside. That led to a wide river that could hold an entire fleet of large ships and  still have enough room for an army of dragons quite easily.

Bash and Gurter sat on the edge with Kia and Steel. They looked down to see that the water was completely clear. They could see broken shipwrecks made up of rotten wood of all types, covered in coral and seaweed of many colours. They could see the fish swimming underneath, some different shades of blue,  purple, red and some were black, white, silver and gold! 

"That's beautiful!" Whispered Gurter.

"Why don't you look up?" Steel asked.

They looked up to see the roof was covered in crystals that were glowing white like millions of stars. They had not seen such a beautiful display. Then they looked across as they sailed in further and further into the cave, they saw mushrooms growing at the edge of the cave and they too were glowing a beautiful shade of turquoise. They settled to increase as they sailed further and further in and soon they were covering it! Bash looked at Gurter, who was deeply entranced by the strange beauty.

They soon found a good place to doc. It was a long dock that instead of being made of wood, was in fact made of purple dragon scales making it look like it was made of purple metal. It was wide enough to dock their ship along with four others and was long enough for anyone on board the ship to walk out and have plenty of room to walk around quite easily. They soon docked.

They threw down the plank and Captain Gerald ran down, followed by Cerpheres, Chashathrophogh, Bash, Kia, Kir Gurter, Steel and Phydoc. They walked to the stone land, where they were greeted by a wooden door. It was narrow, and had no keyholes or doorknobs. In the top was writing engraved into the top.


I an the next in line,

Once the one before does fall, 

His land becomes mine,

And I will answer leaders call

Thus no longer being what I was

And that past to my boys it does



"Wha' does this'n mean?"

"Well that matters entirely on what the answer is next in line for. The second and third line is clearly about an inheritance but this leads to someone no longer being the answer and it is something that can only be inherited by a male and not a female."

"So like a succession of sorts?" Kia muttered.

"But the fort line mentions a leader's call. Like a captain or something?" Kir muttered after.

"A Prince!" Gurter explained.

Then the door opened. They all looked at her slightly stunned as they walked on. She smiled proudly as she did. Chashathrophogh also smiled, shocked at her guessing it. Yet as she noticed this her field went red and she looked aside. He rolled his eyes as he let out a chuckle.

They came to the shore of a large lake and they looked at the map for directions. They quickly knew where, on the other side of the lake they should go. Yet upon seeing that there were no boats they had to walk on the lilac stone path. It took them three days to walk across to the location, which was where a set of double doors, bearly notable due to the overgrowth that surrounded them. They  noticed that there were no keyholes of doorknobs,  just like all of the other doors.

"Well, now wha'?"

"I don't know." Kir said.

"Go back?" Kia suggested, jokingly.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Captain Gerald punched him!

"We're no' goin' back we can' go back!"

"Fine,  fine! It was a joke! Why is it so important to you anyway? I mean is it totally worth it? Almost all the crew is gone!"

Captain Gerald looked down and then looked up at them. He seemed to calm down as he let out a long and shaky breath.

"I' 'll 'elp me understand someone."

"Who, my dear Captain?" Cerpheres purred.

He shook his head and gestured for them to drop it. He gave him a playful shrug as they looked at the double doors alongside Back and Chashathrophogh. They looked at the rim of the did and noticed something. They tried to use their magic to will the doors to open, but that did nothing. So they then turned to the overgrowth and with their magic tour the plant life away from the doorframe.

This revealed a set of black roses going all around the edge in different stages of blooming with the single one at the top in complete bloom. Yet over them were dandelions also in different stages of bloom with the full one at the top. Which were all connected by a single stem. They then noticed that there was a piece of gold in the overgrowth above the door. They ripped the plant life of that revealing a golden plaque in the shape of an open scroll. With words engraved into it.


Do My Weeds Make My Roses Bloom


No,  I guess not!

They looked at each other. Then returned to the picture. Bash placed her hand on the dandelion stem. She rubbed it and noticed that it came loose. So she pulled and she noticed that it could come off and so she pulled. Soon the rest of the dandelions were pulled off the doorframe and the doors swung open.

They then walled in to see that they looked into a pair of large blue catlike eyes attached to a creature with sea green scales. With his talons on a pile of treasure.

"It's a dragon!" Kia exclaimed.

"Wait?" Bash and Chashathrophogh said, putting their hand on his shoulder.

"Why?"

"It's a wyvern."

"Will you two quit doing that?" Kia asked. "Seriously! You two are just as bad as Jeff 'n' Jax!"

"Urm, what's a wyvern?" Gurter asked.

"It's a smaller cousin of the dragon. It has only two legs and has the psyche of an animal." They said quickly.

"And is there anything about killing it?"

Chashathrophogh and Bash rolled their eyes as they noticed that it was about to attack. Chashathrophogh grabbed Bash and Bash granted Gurter they pulled each other out of the way. As the rest of them dived out of the way, narrowly missing the fire. They then team in and then it breathed another blast of fire and they ducked. Bash then loaded her arrow and fired at the mouth as he opened it for another blast but the arrow turned to ash before it reached anywhere near the mouth. 

Then the creature breathed another blast of fire and this time it set Steel and Kia alight! They screamed as their bodies became consumed by the flames. Bash tried to put it out but the wyvern blasted another wave of fire at them, forcing them to dodge. She tried again, but there was another wave of fire. The two collapsed as they were helplessly dodging the flames. By that time they knew it was already too late, they were already dead.

Then,  knowing that her arrows were not going to help her, she went to draw her sword. Then Cerpheres placed a hand on hers. She looked up, questioningly.

"Use your magic!"

"What! We don't have time for this!"

"Prick your finger and let a stop of your blood fall onto the arrow. Then will the arrow to kill the wyvern."

She looked to the side to see it about to send fire to them. She tried to get out of the way, but Cerpheres stopped her. She pulled away as she huffed. She pulled out an arrow and slit her index and placed her blood on the arrow. She then gathered all her magic and drove it into the arrow, soon she was looking at a purple metal arrow and then she spotted the sparks at the back of it's throat. She then fired. It then hit the throat. It was driven back slightly and then it started to cough and cough,  soon smoke rose from its mouth and nostrils. She also could see fire sparking in the back of its throat as it did. She willed it to become a fire she also willed it to become hotter and hotter. Meanwhile Cerpheres willed the fire to spread. Then Chashathrophogh and Gurter waited as its head rose higher and higher. They then drew their swords and rushed in and slit the belly of the beast. Soon all of its organs spurted out on the ground and it fell down, dead.

Then a woman appeared holding a scroll. She wore a silver white dress and had long black hair and deep green eyes

"Are you the one known as Captain Gerald?" She asked.

"Aye. Ye?"

"Eve." She said as she showed him the scroll in her hand. "This is a picture of the one you work to kill. However,  you can only have it if you use this." 

She showed him a knife made of crystal.

"To kill the rest of your crew."

He looked up at them with hunger in his eyes. He was about to reach out to it but he refrained. He looked back at his crew and then at the corpses of Kia and Steel and shook his head.

"Nah. I won' mi crew's mi life. If they're te die then so will I!"

She bowed her head.

"So be it." She said,  giving him a key with a wheel for a head. 

Sure then plopped and Phydoc rushed to her as the scroll vanished. He checked her pulse. He loomed up and shook his head. He nodded as he put a hand on him.

"Don' blame yeself."

 They soon found another door that led to more treasure! 

Yet as Kir looked at the map he then looked up.

"Wha'?"

"There's another way out." He said.

"Wha'?"

"Here!" He said pointing to a piece of text.


🖤Look for the moon

Look for the sun

Find the lagoon

You'll have fun🖤


They all looked around the cave and soon found a set of gold doors with the doorknobs in the shape of dragons in flight. Above them was a silver half moon and a crimson sun. Captain Gerald gripped both handles and the dragon wings closed and the doors opened to reveal a narrow docking arrows with seven boats. To their right they could see their ship in the distance.

"Chash! Here!" Cerpheres purred, giving him the box.

"Captain, may I borrow that key?"

"Sure!" 

He opened it and it opened up to another pendant.

"Now,  I think i's time te ge' all this on board don' ye!"

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!
