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.

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...

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 toa...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 Defending The Town  It was nearly an hour after sunrise when Loc saw the army on the far end of the tunnel. She looked back at Gina. She nodded and gave her a couple of coins with a dragon head on. “There’s a weapon’s shop at the edge.” Loc gave her the basket and ran to it. “Doyouhavammer!” “What?” “Do you have a hammer?” “Yes.” She gave him the coins. Yet then he looked at her eyes and his widened. “That’s enough for two.” He took them and took out two large hammers. She took them. She felt the weight and threw them in the air a few times. “Good weight!” “Hold on! You can hold them both?” “Yeah. Can’t the women of this world do the same?” “No. Not even some men can do that.” She raised her eyebrow, however she knew that she did not have time to appreciate what he had just said. She ran out as she knew that they were reaching the town. I need to take them away from the town. She thought as some passed her. She ran to the closest one. She jumped in the air and thrust her ham...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time. Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it. In the year of three after the dragon  defeated the royals and has taken all our first born and killed them. Then another dragon of great beauty and  majesty carved out pits where she  regurgitated up a strange liquid that made up a series of pools. Then the  rock dragon did the same and put the dead firstborn in. Then they all grew  rock over their flesh and came out alive and as rock. Then, upon the or...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Final Part

 The Piece  They looked at the piec. Doormaze walked up to it. She picked it up and took a closer look at it. She felt very tired as she looked at the other two. “Well, what are you waiting for?” She looked up at the castle as she let out a yawn. She then looked back at them. She could tell that both of them were tired. “What?” “We’re the only people here.” “And?” “We’re all tired and I don’t know when the next time we will be sleeping in a good and warm bed.” “So?” “I think that we should call it a night. Find a bed and take some time off tomorrow.” “Why?” “We all need it.” They looked at each other and they soon found a velvet royal purple bed. They flopped into them and went to sleep the moment that their heads hit the pillows. The following day Doormaze looked around the castle, wondering who lived in it and what they were like. She then walked into a library filled with dusty only books of all shades of purple. She looked at the spines with writing of silver and gold. Her...

She and the twins explained everything to them. Then a police officer, Detective Smith, walked in. “Well, Bea, Brit, what are youfoung here?” “Sorry dad, it’s just Scar was investigating that dead guy Bea saw get killed the other day.” “And ’cause she’s always in ’n’ out of hospital with terrible injuries.” “We were worried about her so we followed her.” He nodded with a stern frown. “But we didn’t know what we were getting into until we were caught! Promise!” “Well, your mum will be coming soon. She has been worried about you all afternoon. You know that she’s a busy woman and she gets worried when you don’t come home. Do you remember when you spent a whole day looking for that cat?” They looked down red and nodded. “Honestly, you’re lucky that Scar called ahead or I don’t know what would have happened!” That was when Br...
