Strena Attempts On Zaryb Arc Final Part

 Total Defeat


When Streba woke up next a blade was pointing to her throat. Her lip curled as she sat up. She then smiled as she looked at the bounds around her wrists.

"Not taking any chances, I see!"

"No."

"It's alright. I'm not going to try to kill you. No Zarry. I've seen that your self preservation is not your weakness. However I have seen that it never had been. Yet I know what it is. Speaking of which I can also tell that the girl does want to kill you, but she wants it to be on her terms. Oh what is it about your lot and wanting things to be on your terms,  that I will never know. However I can see right through you and what you are doing." She said, rolling onto her feet.

She looked down at the bounds and they broke apart.

"Did you really think that they could stop me?"

She then heard the sound of the sea and looked back. 

"What else should I have expected, dark lady?"

She smiled as she ran to the cliffs. She looked down and smirked as she saw the rocky pile below.

"By the way, that sword. The one she wields, do you know the name of it?" She asked to distract him.

"No, why? Is it important?" He asked, walking slowly towards her.

She let out a laugh.

"Might be. After all, the one that can wield the sword and knows its name will have access to the power it contains. Yet she has power of her own and she needs a teacher to show her how."

"Not you."

"Oh but you will not have a choice in that regard. After all she does need to grow and I am the only one who can help you in that regard. So let me."

"No. There is someone I can turn to."

"Oh? Is that so? Then what do you think he will do once he finds out the nature of her birth? Let's face it, you're alone in this."

He looked down. He tried not to cry so he bit his lip to stop himself.

"No. I will not let her become a dark lady. She is far too young and you know it. And if I did want her to become one you would be the last person I would turn to."

She let out a laugh.

"I thought you would say something like that."

She then ran to the edge of the cliff. She then placed her leg out and almost jumped. Zaryb raced to her and gripped her wrist. She was able to take advantage of this and reached out and pulled his blade out and pointed it at her throat!

His eyes widened and his grip became momentarily loose. Yet he gripped her again to stop her from falling. She smiled victoriously.

"Got you! Now let me have her as my apprentice. I hardly need to say what will happen if you don't! I know it will be of no consequence to me but for you…"

"No I will not!"

She pressed the blade in deeper to let the blood start to trickle down her neck.

"She will die."

He closed his eyes as he started to tremble. He was about to pull her up but his body froze. He opened his eyes and looked at  her in shock.

"Ah, ah, ahhh! Only a 'yes' will save her."

He looked behind her at the rocks. Then at her.

"Yes. You can have her as an apprentice."

She smiled, returning the dagger and placed a hand over her neck. Steam rose and she let out a scream. When she pulled the hand away, there was a thick black ring around her neck.

"What was that for?"

"Ensurance. You have until all the roof glows red. Should you fail to come by that time she will die horribly. Also it will do the same thing if you hand her over to me without finding out the name of the sword. And just to show you that I mean business, I will be popping by. Just to give you a little motivation."

He nodded. He pulled her in. Strena felt the witch finally let her go. She hugged him tightly as she trembled uncontrollably. She could not stop herself from shaking nor crying. She knew it would earn her a scolding but, try as she might, she just could not stop it. Yet he instead refined the high as he too could not stop his years and his shaking either.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I couldn't- I tried but I couldn't-"

"It's alright. As I said, you are no match for her."

"Wh-who w-was she anyway?"

"A Dark Lady known as Grasharlo. And I'm sorry but you're going to be her apprentice once we find out the name of your sword."

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...
