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

 The Fortress


We soon saw that shore. I saw the fortress before I realised just how big it was. It had thirteen floors and each floor was the size of two floors. Each floor was bigger than the floor beneath, making it look like an upside-down ziggurat made in the style of a mediaeval castle. With the merlons the size and width of a man. With the machicolations so wide that one could easily fall out of and, by the height of each floor, to their deaths. Yet even though there were several windows there was none on the ground floor which had no door.

"It's that it?"

"Seems so."

"Not scared are you?"

"No. You?"

"Not too bad."

Once we reached the shore we soon docked and were on the road. Was followed a path that led to the fortress.

"How are we going to get in?" Cho asked.

"Good question."

"Looks like we're going to have to have to work it out."

"Seems so."

We all circled the building, looking up and down. That was when I spotted one of the song bricks had a crescent moon on.

"Look here!" 

The other two came to me and I pointed to the moon. Uncle Haru looked down and placed his hand on it and then pressed it in. It slotted back. Then we felt something shake. Then I pulled the other two back as the first floor dropped. I noticed something as I looked up. I then placed them under a machicolation each pressed the stone in and the floor dropped. We jumped onto the floor as it shot up. When it locked in place, we walked up to a door and opened it.

That was when a suit of armour appeared and I took out my blades. He then went to strike me but I was about to block just in time. I then whacked it out of my way. I then struck up, knocking off its helmet. This, to my horror, revealed a dead head with decaying flesh. Then I saw the pentagram embedded into its forehead. Yet as soon as the stench of the decay entered my nose I felt the break off my throat tighten as my breakfast threatened to come up.

Cho let out a scream.

I looked at her to stop. I then felt something painful in my stomach. I coughed as I looked down to see the foot of the dead man in my stomach. I backed away slightly.

"What is it?"

"It smells!"

At this both Cho and Uncle Haru laughed.

Trying not to get distracted I shook my head.

"Uncle! Focus; while I fight, observe, then find the weakness and tell me."

"Try stabbing the pentagram."

"I'll do my best, sir!"

"That's the British spirit for you!"

"I was born in America!"

Then I looked at the creature. I took off my jacket and tied it around my mouth and nose to fill the stench. I ran at it and went straight for the pentagram which he swept my blade out of the way. I could smell the stench but now, I could tolerate it. I then clutched my blades and tried to strike above. He quickly drove the blade above on the other side faster than I thought it could move. Then I let my grip ease as I flicked the blade down. Then he kicked me and I slammed back against the ground.

I had no time to dwell on the pain as it drew its blade down again and again. Seeing that I had no opening I would have to make one. So I rolled out of the way. I rolled upwards then slashed to the left as I did. I then heard the head roll. I looked beside me to see the head. Yet that did nothing to stop the body.

I then kicked the body away from me and then the head to the others like a football. Then I slashed the blade and then it caught my blade. I then jumped and drove my feet into its shins. Then Uncle Haru drove a blade into its forehead.

Then it fell. Then we turned to the door.

"Good work."

"I should expect nothing less from anyone that shares my blood."

"Haru! Your niece did good! Are you-"

"Come on!"

We walked through the door.

"So where do you think that he is?"

I looked at the map and looked at the hallway.

"I don't know, but I think we should start by going to the top."

"Sounds good."

We walked throughout the floor and we then found the stairs. We then walked to the top. We were greeted by a door with a plaque. On it was a riddle.


The one you seek

The witch made weak

When you go below

You will soon know


You shall be joining his friends

This will be where it ends

Yet only one will go free

And she will serve me


"By hell she will!" Growled Uncle Haru.

I looked at him surprised as he charged down the stairs.

"Where is he going?"

"Downstairs. That must be where they are."

I followed him down to the ground floor. To my surprise there were more stairs. We continued until we got to the bottom. At the bottom was a woman.

"Are you the witch?"

"No. She is my mistress."

"Will you move?"

"No." She said as she came close to him.

She then started to sing. As she did she came into the light revealing that she was wearing nothing but a thin dress that led little to the imagination. Her feet were hooves with human legs. She had black hair and a strikingly beautiful face and crimson eyes.

"What is that?"

"Is that a female minotaur?"

"No. It is not, and stay away from her."

"Why?"

He looked at the creature and then I saw the long sharp claws. She started to dance. He rolled his eyes and took out his gun. He soon shot the creature dead.

We then walked to the other door and opened it.

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!
