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."

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...

 A Closed Case And A Nasty Shock Within the hour they were taken to the police station where Scar handed in her phone, which had been on and recorded everything. 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...
