Bounty Hunter Bash Jones Lock Arc Part Four

The Gathering


"Tell me." Chashathrophogh spoke to the local townsman.

"Do you know where the person that has lived here the longest is?" Asked Chashathrophogh.

He nodded as he pointed across the road.

"Over there."

"Thank you." Said Bash.

They walked to the door and knocked. A middle aged woman with silver hair and eyes walked out. She had a dark muddy green lace dress soon several layers. With a dark blue lace cardigan over her shoulders that tied at the center front by a thin white rope.

She looked at Cerpheres and took a step back and looked slightly afraid.

"What-what do you want?"

"To know a few things. Don't worry Agatha, it's not too bad! Depending on your answer, you might not even need to work your pretty little head!"

She nodded, her breath becoming faster.

"Urm o-okay!"

"How long have you been here?" Bash asked.

Her eyes glanced back to Cerpheres.

"I was born here." 

"And how old are you?"

"I will be fifty in a couple of months."

"And your parents?"

"I buried them three years ago."

"No, I mean when did they arrive?"

"H-half a year before I was born. I-is that all?"

"No, I want you to gather all the people that live here." Chashathrophogh told her.

"W-why?"

"Because we need to get out of here."

"Why?"

"I will say once you do." He told her, handing her the scroll. 

She read the writing on it. She became pale as she looked up at the seabed. She had noticed that it had begun to drop already. From looking at the scroll and the seabed, she knew that they must have at most four days at least one. She looked at them both in gratitude and shock.

"I will do this at once." She said as she left.

Cerpheres laughed.

"What?"

"You're going to need to do more than that I'm afraid! Not all the people here are as reasonable as Agatha!"

Chashathrophogh rolled his eyes not even wanting to entertain his game.

It hardly took them an hour to gather the entire town. Once they were gathered nowhere Bash or Chashathrophogh knew where to begin. So they decided to start with the start.

"So what names should we use?" Bash asked.

"Our false ones. Sure, I highly doubt that anyone here would know who we are, however, I prefer to be on the same side. After all, you never know when all these people arrived here or for what reason."

"Alright."

"This should go well!"

"Shut up Cerpheres. We do not need to become uncomfortable. Not right now. So shut it!"

"Sure!"

"Right."

Chashathrophogh walked to the front. Bash suddenly realized that he was not as tall as she first thought, but opposed to the town, he was tall enough. In fact Cerpheres seemed to be taller than him. Yet the moment her uncle cleared his throat and let out a deep breath, she no longer focused upon his height.

"Hello. My name is Borevers Scar and this is my dear niece Cari. We arrived here yesterday afternoon. We have been looking for a way out. So we looked for one in the Coral Tower. There, my dear niece, found a few scrolls belonging to the First Legend Phorap The Mad, who sells to be the first to live here."

"And?" Agatha asked.

"And I found one. See Phorap The Mad was able to kill a previous Sea Death God Da Vé Joh and was able to escape." Bash explained.

"And why would we believe that? Everyone knows Phorap was a mad man!"

"Just because he was mad does not mean that he was a liar. In fact, he seemed to be known to be an honest man whenever it counted." Chashathrophogh pointed out.

"Good point."

"And also, it was during this time that Cari found out that one every fifty years that seabed above you." He said, pointing up at it. "Comes down, which will down all that are currently trapped here."

"What?"

"No! I don't believe you!"

"Why only fifth anyway?"

"We do not know. But for those who do not believe it, look up. You must notice that the water has already started to drop."

"Yeah."

"Hold on! You're right!"

"What do we do?"

"Well is it not obvious? We have to kill the current sea death god."

"What?"

"No!"

"We can't do that! Can we?"

This caused some to leave.

"Nah! You can try to do that yourself!"

"Yeah! Count me out!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

This caused more and more people to leave. Yet soon they were the only ones that were there.

Cerpheres laughed.

"Thought so!"

"Fine. Looks like we will have to do this on our own."

"Alright! That ought to be fun!" Cerpheres sang, clapping his hands and rubbing them together.

He looked at them and locked his lips.

"Let's see if you can!"

They rolled their eyes. They walked away. Bash pulled out the map. She looked at it to find out where they needed to go. She soon saw it was a place in the cliff face called Black Glass Cave. So they returned to the house they were staying in. Soon gathered their belongings and set off, leaving the town behind. It took them two hours to arrive and by that time the seabed had already dropped ten inches. They could tell that within two days the seabed would have completely fallen. Which meant they needed to work quicker…

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!
