Strena The Youngest Dark Lady Arc Part Four

 Dark Killer

Strena looked at Zaryb. He was looking down, he had barely spoken a word to her. He looked up at her a few times. Almost like he wanted to say something yet he, for some reason, decided not to. He looked aside with shame in his eyes. However, to her utter annoyance, there was a piece to them. 

She ignored this as she looked at Grasharlo, her eyes were like that of a predator, carefully watching her prey. She had said that she was going to kill that witch and she meant it. Then she would drag Zaryb along with her, for once, to find someone to get their cuffs off their wrists and then he would be next. After she will go home and be the queen, no, the empress that she should have been a long time ago. The end.

Yet she could not shake her gut telling her that there was something else going on. Something more than that. She could not get the sneaking suspicion that Zaryb wanted that. He wanted her to kill him. Yet she could not come to why. She also had another sneaking suspicion that there was something else too. Something to do with her father, and this something she did not want to admit to herself.

Grasharlo brought out the toad that she had tortured the day before.

"Guess you want me to kill it?" She asked, her voice ice cold and still not like hers.

"Oh? You're a smart one."

She shrugged.

"It's only logical." She replied, brushing off the compliment.

She did not do this out of humility but out of the very fact that she did not want to enjoy it. No, if she did that then she knew the chances were she would develop an emotional attachment with her. which she knew would end up stopping her from killing her. Which was something that she could not allow to happen.

She looked over at Zaryb, wondering if she had developed an emotional attachment to him. If so then how deep was this emotional attachment? How could she uproot her emotions towards him and finally kill him? She decided to address that bridge when she came to it.

Her eyes turned back to Grasharlo, maybe she could start with her. Maybe she could start to prepare to kill Zaryb right here and now?

Then she looked at the toad.

Time to get that ice back into your heart. Otherwise I can never be free.

She closed her eyes and willed death into the heart of the toad. When she opened them again, the toad was dead. Disappointment entered her heart.

Is that it?

No. This would not do. I want to hear it scream and squirm as it dies. I want to perlong every moment. So that they know that they are at my mercy. I want to hear them beg for their lives as I have already taken them. I want to see the light in their eyes as their life fades away. I want them to know that they are in my control and none can ever control me ever again!

But how will I control myself?

I have no time to think about that. No, not when I have a job to do!

"Another."

Grasharlo smirked as she brought out a mouse and placed it on the table. Strena looked at it and closed her eyes to concentrate. She breathed in and out to calm herself. Now it was time. She focused all her will and gathered her magic. She then started to feel a part of her being for her to stop and not do this. It was so clear and she suspected that if she took a step in this direction, then she would never be able to return from it. Yet she also felt that if she did return, she would be who she was.

No, I have to go down this path. There's no choice. I have to leave behind all, in order to become free. I need to be free.

But will I? Will I ever be free again?

Yes.

But how do I know? How do I know that in a bid to becoming free, that I will not be putting myself into a worse cage?

Ahh! I have no time for this!

She then pushed it all aside as she drove her magic, with all her will, into making the little more flare up in pain. She heard the squeal of pain, even though she felt part of her recoil inside, she felt another part liking it. She felt the rush of the dark joy rise up in her as she felt like she finally had power over life itself. This was another thing she liked. The dominance that she felt was the mouse's life was in her hands. Soon every squeak started to sound like a strange and twisted song she wished more of.

Then as the pain became more and more for the mouse soon it could no longer take it. Hey she only drove more and more pain the mouse. She did this to enjoy every minute of the mouse's tournament. To prolong the sensation of power she held over the creature. Wanting every second to count. Then she finally ended the mouse's life.

"Good, good girl!" Purred Grasharlo, stroking her on the back. "You're progressing faster than my last student! Do you want another?"

"Sure." She said as she shook slightly.

She felt slightly tired and drained but she wanted to continue nevertheless. So when she saw a rat the size of a cat in front of her, she immediately went back to work. This time she started to hurt the rat only slightly. Then she slightly increased the pain. She waited for the rest to get used to the pain before increasing it again. She soon became inpatient and this was taking far too long. She increased the pain again and again, soon the rest was crying out in pain.

There it is!

She increased the pain again and again. She wanted to hear more and more of the crowd of pain. She wanted to increase the pain until she felt the dark joy again. She felt a strain inside her, yet she ignored this and cottoned until the rest died.

She felt the station get to her and her eyes rolled up and closed. She felt her body fall as all went black. Grasharlo caught her.

"That was impressive. She will make a fine dark lady."

"Well she is his daughter." Zaryb said, bitterly.

"Oh don't be like that! I'll make you happy later! Although I hardly put any stock in rumors, I never expected her to really be Arielsa Zuvé. How very interesting!"

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...
