Bounty Hunter Bash Jones Lock Arc Part Three

The Coral Tower


Chashathrophogh and Bash were exploring the town. Yet, even though they wanted a break from Cerpheres, they knew that he was tailing him. They tried to ignore the man as they wanted to lose themselves in their own thoughts. They looked around and saw the men and women swimming in the water above them. Something that they were determined not to get used to. They went to look for a market place only to find that there was none. They soon found people here did not even have a currency!

"Why?" Bash asked.

"Simple, most people here come here with nothing. So what would be the point?" A woman replied.

"Good point."

They looked up again at the seabed above them.

"How thick is that water?"

"I don't know. Yet none of us have been able to reach the top. All that have tried either drowned or been eaten." A man said, next to her.

"Right."

"Is there a place here that is older then the rest?"

"Yes. The Coral Tower. It's the one building that none here has built and it's the tallest." He said, pointing to a high tower at the edge of town.

"Right. We will be going there next."

"Why?"

"It might have what we need."

They then walked away from the group before the townsfolk could put them off. Yet as they walked on. As they did, they could not help but feel creeped out as they could sense Cerpheres looking at them both. They walked on, trying to ignore this as they walked on and on. Yet as they did the feeling put them more and more on edge. Soon they could not handle it.

"Cerpheres, stop it!" They both shouted.

He let out a playful giggle.

"So you noticed?"

"How could we not!?"

"Now stop it!"

"Oh! Do I have to?"

"Yes? We can not think. So go away!"

"No!"

Bash rolled her eyes, but she noticed the men and women swimming above them.

"Cerpheres, would you mind catching some fish? That way we will have a good spot when we get home."

He smiled.

"Alright!"

He looked up as he did, he pulled out a locket. They looked up to see the fish swimming down. They swam and swam and soon broke out of the water surface and fell down in front of them. There were soon more and more falling down. They soon had enough for a good meal.

He then gave them a bow.

Looks like that did not work.

"Looks like we're stuck with him."

"I still could kill him."

"Oh? But what about-"

"Yes, I hope that you do not make us forget it. Now we need to get to the Coral Tower. I think that it will contain at least one thing that will get us out of here."

"Right."

"I wouldn't get on it!"

"You shut up. And stop looking at us in that manor!"

"What? You're both cute when you're angry!"

Chashathrophogh pulled out a blade and painted it at his throat. He pulled him in and pushed him on. He put the tip of the dagger to the back of his head.

"Oh, do you have to be so rough?"

"Shut up and walk."

"Alright!"

They walked on. Bash could not help but feel disgusted at the fact that she could not help but notice just how attractive the man was. She could not help but notice that he was enjoying himself far too much. She knew that she would have to keep a close eye upon him. 

She would dread to think what her mother would do if she was here. Knowing her, she would have her married off to the man as soon as she could. She looked aside, as her mind flicked over the events that led them to become an exile.

"Tell me, does your father have the ability to shape shift?"

He looked at her with a smile.

"Yes. Yes he does."

"What are you getting at girl?"

"I think that the sorcerer turned into you. Then he ensured that he was seen in the castle when he killed my father and brother. So that he would trick my mother into killing us."

"Why?"

"I don't know." She admitted as they arrived.

They soon walked in.

"So, my birth father wants you dead…then you must be destined for greatness, indeed!" He spoke with a low tone and smiled.

"You better calm down."

Inside there were several floors, all filled with many scrolls. With a coral staircase spiraling in the center of the inside leading to a floor in the top. With a single banister going around the staircase.

"Right. Let's see if there's anyone at home shall we?"

Bash looked back.

"Hay does anyone live here?" She asked.

"No ma'am. That building's for the records of all who have lived here."

"See? Is this open to all of the public?" Chashathrophogh asked.

"Yes sir!"

They then turned back to the tower.

"See?"

Cerpheres moaned.

"Why take the fun out of it?"

They rolled their eyes as they walked to the stairs. They kept quiet as they reached the top. So, when they reached the room, they saw that there were tables and chairs in the center of the room, next to the staircase. With a stone floor.

They looked around the room. They spotted that the upper floors had the older records and Cerpheres took out a scroll and gave it to Bash.

"Here you go! You'll find this one quite interesting."

She then looked at the scroll and opened it suspiciously. The moment that her eyes rested upon the name at the top her attention was gripped.


Phorap Philosopher



So Phorap The Mad was once here! I wonder if that mad man found a way out. If so, then how did he do it? Did he do the same thing at Cerpheres? No, he had to have found another way out.

So she sat down. She took out a pair of arrows to weigh the curl down. She continued to read.


I had arrived in this strange place three days

ago. It was after I had made a strange prophecy.

I do not know what I had said, however, whatever

I had said angered the gods and goddesses. They

created this place for me.


I do know that there must be a way out. I just have

to find it


She then put that scroll away and soon found another.


A way has opened up to me. This place is ruled by

the death sea god Da Vé Joh. I hope to make an

agreement with him in the morrow.


Phorap Philosopher


Is that it? She thought, looking up.

She saw more writing on the back.


The negotiations did not work. It led to a fight. 

To my surprise I won. I killed a god! Now I still have 

to go. So do not expect anything from me. 


I will have to find out how I was able to find out

how I was able to kill a god. Which, if you are

reading this, then I warn you to that once every

fifty years the sky of water comes down and kills

everyone in the place.


At this her eyes widened, and she felt her blood run cold.

"Tell me, how old is the oldest person that lives here?"

"You know I don't know!"

"Well we have to find out as soon as possible."

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!
