The Blue Rock And I Fortress Of The Red Rock Arc Part One

 On The Ocean


We set foot on the ship. It was made of a light brown so with a good day of large cream sails. With a line of golden railings going around the ship with golden rings and nails holding the ship together.

"Hello, my name is Captain Lired. This is my ship, the Ruby Coral." He said using perfect Queen's English.

I nodded.

"Right. I am Haru, this is my niece Aqua and my friend and work colleague Cho." He replied as he nodded to him.

The Captain outstretched his hand and Uncle Haru shook it.

"Right, I would like you to have this." He said, passing him a list. "It is what you ought to expect on the ocean."

He looked down at it and his eyes widened. He looked at me with a concerned look in his eyes. He then passed the list to me. I looked at it wondering what that was all about but then I read what was on it and soon knew why.


  1. Kraken

  2. Sirens

  3. Pirates


I looked up.

"Sirens!? Like those mermaids that sing people to their deaths?"

"Lure people to their deaths. It isn't the singing that kills, no that's just the lure! But good girl for knowing about them."

"Thank you!"

I looked around as we set off. It felt my heart race from the excitement. I found that the unpredictable nature of the waves fun. It was like going on a fairground ride with less predictability on how high the waves climbed and how the ship bobbed up and down. I found myself laughing as we went over one wave and crashed into the waves as the ship landed. My mind woke with the thrill. We swayed side to side. I was soon laughing truly and free.

Then I heard a laugh beside me. It made me stop and I felt an ice cold chill run down my spine. It was my father's laugh. I looked beside me. For a moment I thought my father was next to me. Yet I soon realised that it was Uncle Haru.

"Honestly! The pair of you are just as mad as each other!"

"How so?"

She let out a sigh.

"Look-"

That was when I saw it, the tentacle riding from the ocean. Then I dived out of the way pulling both Uncle Haru and Cho as it slammed down onto the side of the deck. I pulled out my blade and slashed down. It soon recoiled.

"Uncle!"

He looked up and nodded.

Remember this is not supposed to be easy but it should be a slight struggle to take it down.

I was about to run to it but Uncle Haru pulled me away. He raced to the first tentacle and dug a hunters knife into it and twisted. This caused the tentacle to recoil. He looked back and his eyes widened with shock. I looked back but it was too late. I felt the tentacle strike me from behind. I flung and I was caught by another tentacle and I felt myself beginning to be crushed. I felt the sucker kept me in place. I struggled to get my sword out and then sigh my blade into it. The tentacle uncurled yet I was still glued in place by the sucker. I stabbed into it to let in some air. I flung my blade out and cut the tentacle clean off as I rolled as I landed.

"You alright?"

"I can fight!" I shouted, knowing that was what she really wanted to know.

I then looked up to see Uncle Haru slice another tentacle clean off.

"Aqua!"

Before I looked back I sliced behind and another fell. I ran to another and sliced it. Then I felt another hit me in the back. I flew to another. I was about to be crushed but Uncle Haru stabbed it and soon cut it off. I soon landed as Uncle Haru sliced one after another. Yet soon they were all gone. Then Uncle Haru pulled the tentacle off me.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes."

"You did well back there."

"You did better."

He let out a chuckle and smiled sorrowfully. We then spent the morning attending to our injuries and helping fix the ship. I felt so exhausted and I needed a nap. Yet I had my lunch and continued to do my work. I did not want to fall asleep and be late doing my work, regardless of how tired I was.

Then I heard a soothing and calming voice in the distance. I felt like I wanted to go to it. I wanted to let it take me away and to a more peaceful place. The closer we came, the more clear the voice became. I could soon make out the words.


"Come on weary one,

The battle is over now,

You have won!

I will show you how!


"Come to me and you will rest,

Without having the witch's test!"


I knew that I should have covered my ears. For some reason, I did not. I felt curious to hear her words. I wanted to know what he meant by the witch's test. I know that it had something to do with the dreams or something that would come up. I wondered if it revealed a way to get rid of them. That way I would not fear falling asleep.


"Here's my voice and do well to follow,

Come to my arms and be no longer hollow,

I will help you deal with your sorrow,

So no longer great what comes tomorrow!"


I felt myself walk towards the edge of the deck. I placed a hand on the railing. I was about to climb when Uncle Haru covered my ears. Suddenly I felt like I had been woken up from a dream.

What was I about to do?

That was when I saw the mermaid looking creature on the rock. The next thing I noticed was the others beside her. I took out my blades only to realise that they were out of reach. The swords would not do. Yet one of the crew jumped overboard.

"Are there any cannons?"

"I think so!" The Captain shouted.

I then raced down and Uncle Haru followed me. We soon arrived in front of the cannons. I took a cannonball, but I found that it was heavy so, knowing that we needed speed, I looked at Uncle Haru. 

"Could you put them in the cannon? Then I will aim and-where's Miss Sango?" I asked.

At this our eyes widened. He then was about to run out before we heard a splash. I looked back through the hole and at the surface of the ocean.

"Man-woman overboard!"

We ran to the top of the deck and saw Cho.

"Stay here, fire at the sirens and I will get Cho."

"What if I hit you two?"

"You won't!"

He smiled and nodded.

"Get her safe!"

I nodded and ran up and threw down a rope. I tried it around my waist and tried not to focus upon the siren's singing. I then continued to look but my ears were drawn to the song. Yet when I reached the bottom in the water, I heard the song. I could feel the power of the song becoming strong. I knew that it would be only a matter of time until I fell under the spell. Then it suddenly stopped. I swam to Cho and grabbed her arm just as a siren was about to reach out and grab her. She hissed at me but was hit by a cannonball.

I then pulled on the rope. The Captain then pulled us back to the ship. I kept my arms locked stopping Cho. I looked at the sirens as more and more cannonballs were hitting one after the other, barely giving them a chance to open their mouths, let alone sing.

Then I spotted a siren swimming towards us. I pulled out my blade and stabbed her in the heart and kicked her off us. Then another one came from the left and I slid her throat. Then another came to the right and sliced her. Then I spotted one at Cho's leg. I could not reach her leg so I kicked her leg up and away. She then went to dive at mine! I drove my heel and ankle into her mouth so hard she coughed as she was driven back under the water.

Then we were pulled out of the water. Then as we rose higher and higher one daring one jumped right out of the water and right at me! I looped my legs around Cho's waist and sliced her in half. Then another dove at me and I pulled out the other blade and sliced her. I then spotted one reaching Cho and I cut her and she dropped before she could pay a single dinner on her. By the time we were at the top the sirens were dead.

I put my blades away and pulled her over the railings and we slumped over and my eyes closed.

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!
