The Sorrowful Rebel The Forging Of A Rebel Part Four

 The Team


She woke up early in the morning. She felt slightly hollow and pulled herself inwards as she thought about the events of the day before. She saw the guard being killed by his own work colleagues as clear as day. She felt the gun in her hands and felt herself shaking as she remembered her killing all those guards. She felt herself crying again and buried her head into the covers as she just had to take her time crying.

Once she was ready, she changed into a purple shirt and black combat trousers. She walked to the café and ate one of the cubes that tasted like a spicy cabbage. She then walked to the library. There she buried her head in a book to take her mind off the events of the day before. She soon finished that book. It gave her a small history of furniture.

She turned around to see Wolf Raven and Light Bringer. 

"Come with us." Light Bringer said, taking her hand.

She was led to his desk. There she was greeted by To Break, To Open and Life.

"Are you alright?" To Break asked.

She nodded.

"Yeah you?"

"Well this past week has been busy. The ones that you helped save are getting the counselling that they need. So it's been the same as usual."

"I'm here!" Distant Battle said as he came in. 

"Then we're all here!" Sang Light Bringer.

"Yes, now Loc. I believe you know who these people are?" Wolf Raven asked.

"Yes."

"Well Light Bringer and I have been talking and we thought that these would be the best team for you. Any objections?"

"None." She replied, slightly relieved.

He smiled.

"Good. Now I think the five of you ought to stay here for the next hour. After all, you need to get to know your team. See you all in an hour." 

She nodded, leaving Loc feeling slightly lost and shy.

"So Loc, why do people of your world just people's names and not their meaning?" Distant Battle asked.

"I don't know. Why do you go by the meaning of the name instead of the name?"

"We believe that it's because when someone tells people their name of figures out their name that one gains power over the person."

Her eyes widened.

"Like name craft?"

"'Name craft'?"

"It's what we call magic involving names."

"Wait, magic exists in your world?"

"Yeah."

"I don't believe it!"

"It's true. But I guess things like that must work differently here."

"Maybe. I thought it was just superstition that we couldn't be bothered to get rid of."

She rolled her eyes.

"Well, you did not believe in powers and other worlds." 

He opened his mouth and closed it again.

"So what's your favourite colour?"

"Amethyst people. Yours?"

"The colour of my eyes. In fact, I don't know if it's the same as in your world, but I'm this one, our eyes turn okie favourite colour. Our skin becomes our least favourite colour. Then our horns become the colour that matches our personality." Distant Battle explained.

"And is there anything about your features that are inherited?"

"Our body and bone structure."

She nodded.

"What about you?"

"Everything, such as eye colour, skin, bones and hair colour. However certain events can have an effect on our features."

"So what's your story?"

She then opened her mouth and told them all about her life and world and all she did there. She told them about what she was, the story of her birth, her time in the Forest Of Illusions, her time in the academy, the Sunburners, how she got the Books of Grasharlo, including the finding of the silver and gold key rings and the revelation that it looked to and how she ended up in this world. It helped her sort through the whole thing. By the time she was done her head felt clearer than it had been in a long time.

"That explains a lot."

"Life, what about you?"

"Well it's nothing special. I was born in the favourable houses and all of my brothers went out to serve in the army. They were tasked to guard a powerstation that was soon bombed. Then my brothers were killed and we were told that they were fighting the rebels but I soon found out that wasn't the case. See, they were killed by their own squadron members. I was then kidnapped by one of the rebels and they exposed me to other atrocities that the empire had committed."

She took a glass of water and drank.

"Then I was committed to the task. I was sent on a few missions and I was able to recruit a fair few people from the favourable houses. That was when I was betrayed by one of my friends. Then I fell into the hands of Father Of Knowledge. Then he killed my whole family! And…well…you know the rest."

Loc them waited for everyone to process what had just been said. She turned to To Open.

"Will you go next?"

She nodded.

"Alright. I want to start by saying that my mother was taken as a virgin to one of the favourable houses. There she was forced to serve her evil master there. It didn't matter in what way out how, including with her body. She knew that it was her beauty they put her in the situation that she was in. She made sure that she served her role better than everybody. One slip up would have cost her her family. A family member every time she did not please him. It was during this time that she became pregnant with me. She told her master of this and he got her locked up. When I was born he took me from my mother and made sure that I was his child. Once it was confirmed, he hid me away. I was closely watched to ensure that I never showed any resemblance to my father. While growing, I grew close to my mother. The moment that I showed a resemblance to my father she grew away from me. Then she instilled a hatred for both me and him. This caused me to hate him too. When the others noticed this they took me away and killed her. Then when the rebels attacked, I joined it. It was my first taste of freedom. Yet because I needed education they gave it and then soon I was on my first missions I didn't do well but after a high risk mission I was soon captured and ended up being acquired by Father Of Knowledge who was a close friend of my father."

They took their tone to process that.

"To Break?"

"Similar to To Open but I was able to escape and I spent my time in the streets and my mother rejected me from day one. So I spent my time scavenging. I was taken in when I was thirteen by a strange man, who turned me into his slave. During this time I stole from him and educated myself. I soon found out that my mother was dead. Then, when I got what I needed from him I ran away. Started a gang that mugged as many people as we could. Soon I rose to the top. Then all came to an end when I was found by my father and he killed my friends and captured me. Only for him to stop me to Father Of Knowledge and you know the rest."

They waited again. Then she turned to Distant Battle.

"I'm Distant Battle. When I was a boy my family was wiped out by Evil Emperor himself. Although he always wore a mask and had a voice filter that disguised his voice. Me and my brothers and sisters were the only survivors. Mainly because they wanted to sell us all to Father Of Knowledge. After all, he needed guinea pigs and as children of traitors, we were with less than worms. So he performed many, many experiments on us. One caused my sisters to die and it was soon when the others ended up dead too. One of which damaged my voice and he replaced it with this robotic one. Then the rebellion took hold of the lab I was in. See, they were after Father Of Knowledge and they had found out that he was located in the lab, they came. Yet he got away but I soon joined the rebellion."

They all soon fell silent. All had to take time to think about what had been said. For a while they thought about all that they had said and processed it.

"We all have had a great deal of strife in our lives and for you, the Evil Emperor is the common denominator."

"And now you know why it must fall." Wolf Raven spoke.

They looked back.

"I was listening the whole time, and I must admit I feel nothing but sorrow for you. Which is why I think that the name 'Team Sorrow' would be a fitting name for you."

"Yeah. I do, so to Team Sorrow!"

"'Team Sorrow'."

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.

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!
