The Anti-Fairy Tales The Giant's Battle Arc Part One

 The First Day


Pheoshan woke very early the following day after Engleman showed her what her duties would be, now that was was his slave. This would be her first official day that she would be working for the giant. She, as she was thinking, massaged her neck, relieving the soreness from having to wear the collar. 

She looked at both Cimus and Egoso, both sleeping in each other's arms. Both were trembling. She walked up the pair and stroked their heads. This helped calm them and they relaxed. She kept doing this until they were fully resting.

Don't worry. I'll get you out of here.

This, she realized, would also be the first day she should try to find a way to escape the giant. However she knew that this would not be the best day to try. After all, she knew that she could not afford to make a mistake. She knew one wrong move would land her in greater trouble. So she knew she would have to butter Engleman up and do all that she could to gain his unwavering trust. Yet she had to be even more careful in this regard. After all, she did not want to look suspicious or come across as trying too hard to impress the giant.

She breathed in and out as she could feel her body shaking with fear and another emotion that she could not quite describe. She had to do this until she too had become calm. If she did not calm herself, then she knew that she would make a mistake. She knew that she would have to use all the skills that she learnt as Cinder Umbrella. 

She looked back down at Cimus and Egoso. Whatever her plan was, she would have to think of a way to get them out of this place too. Yet she knew that there was only a slim chance of her actually doing that. After all, she knew that her escaping would be one thing but getting them out along with her would be another. However, she felt in her heart of hearts that she just could not allow herself to leave this place and leave them behind.

She then heard a key tuning. She looked over to see the giant at the bars. 

Here goes nothing! She thought, gently resting the sibling's heads down.

She climbed to her feet and then walked to the giant. He pulled her out and gave her the bottle. She took it and took one drink and grew. She was soon the size of a small giantess. He gave her a shovel.

"Here. Get out the golf and clean it."

She took it and nodded. She looked in and scooped up all of Egoso's gold dung. She was given a bucket and she put it all in. She was then taken to a room when it was filled with gold! He gave her a bucket of water and cloth. She then cleaned all the gold and ensured that it was squeaky clean. She then cleaned one after the other until they were all clean. She then gave the clean gold to the giant. He took it and put it in an oven where he melted them into gold bars.

"Good, thou cleaned well!"

"Thank you. What is next?"

"Breakfast!"

"What would you like?"

"Bacon, eggs and beans."

"So to the kitchen next?"

They soon arrived in the kitchen, where Engleman gave her another drink of the strange potion.

"Right, where is the bacon and where are the eggs and beans?"

"Wash thine hands while I get them out."

She nodded as she did. She then lit the hob and poured some oil. Soon the beacon and eggs were sisling and the beans were boiling. She became aware of Engleman watching her carefully. Yet she did what she could to keep herself calm and put a false smile on her lips. She had to resist the temptation of trying something. She knew that she also had to make sure that this food was the best that the giant had ever tasted. If the food was good, she knew that he would be won over a little.

She soon put it upon a plate and placed it right in front of him. He looked at it suspiciously and then the moment he tasted the bacon, his eyes lit up. He tasted the beans and the eggs.

"Wow! Thou can cook!" He exclaimed, through a mouthful of food.

He soon ate everything on the plate. He licked his lips and smiled as he leaned. 

"Girl! That was the best meal that I have ever had!" He shouted. "Quick! Bring Cimus! I want her golden music."

She nodded.

"Thank you sir!" 

She soon walked to the cell.

"Cimus, he wants you."

She looked down with sorrow in her eyes. She nodded. She walked into her hand. She carried her over to Engleman and placed her gently upon the table. He gave her a harp. The moment she touched it, it turned to gold. She let out a deep breath then started to play.

Pheoshan felt chills run down her spine and sorrow filled her heart. She had never heard such a beautiful melody. It sank deep into her. It cut like a knife, pricing into the hard shell and puncturing the real her. It also felt like the gentle notes embrace her, like a mother's embrace. Whispering in her ear that it was alright.

"Sing! Sing!"

She let out a sigh.


"One will soon thine victory bring,

One will free the three I sing,

The power of the dish,

Made from the fish,

Leads back to the royal,

Where one is very loyal!


"The Demon King's power grow,

From the seed from long ago,

Upon the moment of truth told,

Destiny be revealed by man old,

All the power will be known,

By then the seed will have grown!"


He bellowed out a laugh as he clapped.

"Why! That reminds me of a time when I killed a rival giant Gantara! She was a very beautiful giant. I wanted her, I had to have her. I did all to get her." He said, glancing at Pheoshan. "And I mean 'all'. When I finally had her, she tried to kill me and escape. Then to punish her, I tore her apart, slowly. I pulled limb from limb and then I ate yet alive."

He licked his lips.

"And I will do it again, if I get hungry." He said, resting his hand upon his chin. "Then there was her sister. I took a fancy to hear too. She too, I ate. Both tasted far too great, but nothing like the meal that thee hath cooked this. I should hath had thou cook them! I know how good it would hah been."

"Have you killed more sir?" Pheoshan asked, trying not to vomit.

"Oh yes! I hath desperate many enemies and many many more families and none hath even proven to rival my power!" He laughed, banging his first upon the table. "Here, let me tell thee all about them!"

For the rest of the day she served him while he told her of all his feats. All of them shocked and horrified her to the point, she started to tremble. She did nothing to challenge or interrupt him. She encouraged him to continue. Trying to keep her mask in place.

By the time she was back in her cell. She had a lot to think about as she fell asleep.

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

  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!
