Strena Attempts On Zaryb Arc Part Four

 The Fourth Attempt


Strena woke up feeling very scared and naked, despite having warm winter closeness on. Her fear filled eyes darted to Zaryb. He reached out his hand and she closed her eyes as she templed. He then placed his hand upon her head. Her eyes opened and she frowned. She looked away as she pouted.

"I suppose you're going to punish me for my weakness."

He chuckled.

"No you are no match for that Dark Lady." He said, patting her. "She would have been dead already if she could be trusted!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"She has her ways and has been known to become more dangerous whenever she resurrected herself."

She smirked bitterly.

"Sounds like we have a problem."

"Only if you deny her what she wants."

"How so?"

"She ensures that all who get in her way come to a very grim end. How grim depends entirely on how angry she is."

She closed her eyes in dread as her heart sank.

Looks like this will be yet another thing that I'm gonna have to get used to.

"Is she the reason why we've always been moving so much?"

"Yes."

"And why do you not give in and die?"

His eyes tensed.

"Multiple reasons. Though I hardly think that she really wants to kill me. No…I think it's something else. After all,  she could carry many other spells and enchantments to do that. No…" He spoke out loud as his eyes slid to her.

"What?"

"N-never mind."

She sat up.

"Then looks like I need a lot of training then. After all, I know we have a long battle ahead of us. Right?"

He smiled, relieved by something.

"Yes, yes we do. By the way, since when did you become so assertive?"

She shrugged and smiled.

"It's all down to your training Master Zaryb."

His smile dropped.

"Then I better make something. Then we can train."

He soon made the stew and they soon ate and finished their meal.

They walked a good pace away from the camp next to a clear shallow river. Then they turned to each other.

"Here." 

"Why not back where we were?"

"It was too rocky and near civilization."

She shrugged.

"Alright." She said.

She took her blade out and unsheathed it. She looked down and looked at the blade. She attributed the blade slowly and looked at the hilt. She swung it a few times and the swing sounded clear and sharp. She smirked as she drew her attention back to Zaryb. There was a haunting number in her eyes.

Suddenly Zaryb felt his heart sink. This had confined something.

He drew his tiny blades.

"Ready?"

"Yes." 

He threw a few of them at her. She struck them down easily. He ran around her, throwing more at her. All she blocked. He drew in close to her, throwing more at her. She continued to Allah at each and everyone down. Then he drew a dagger down to strike her but she was able to dodge. She jumped back, drawing the blade into his stomach. He whacked it away.

He let out a sigh as he pulled out a small dagger.

"You can't have her."

"You know you were always perceptive, Zarry."

"I know and she will not be a dark lady."

"Oh? Well if that is where you draw the line." She said, stroking the side of his face. "Then offer yourself to me. After all, you do remember what happens to people who get in my way? Or have you forgotten Gennifield already?"

He looked down and nodded. Anger and frustration in his eyes.

He then threw a punch at her,  yet she blocked. He threw punch after punch at her and she continued to block, one after the other. He drew a knife down and she struck it right out of his hand! He flicked a tiny dagger at her face and she dived back. He then ran and gave her a punch to the jaw and she flew and landed with a thud.

When she rose her eyes changed for a moment and he saw Strena had taken over. However by the time he ran to her the witch had taken back over. She then stabbed the palm of his hand. He drew back and looked at the bloody hand in shock. He looked back as she cackled.

"Tell me,  how would you like it if she knew the truth? How would you like it if I told her all about what her father did to you? Including what he put in you?" She asked, drawing closer and closer to him.

He suddenly looked like less of a man and more like a wounded animal. She looked at him with false compassion as she placed a hand on his cheek.

"It still hurts you, doesn't it? Give me this and I will save you from your sorrows. You know that I could."

His eyes closed and when he opened them,  his eyes became insane and the nasty smile reappeared on his lips.

"I'm sorry, but I like it here. Do no. I will not allow this deal! So you are going to have to find another thing that will persuade him."

He sighed as she went to whack him in the head. He docked and punched her in the gut. His smirk curled in a way that would have hurt his cheeks. His eyes wrinkled as he did.

"Yes. I have that too and I know how to use it."

She clutched her head and her eyelids fell. Then his eyes returned to normal and he shook as he knelt by her unconscious body. There he wept and trembled.

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...

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.
