Strena The Youngest Dark Lady Arc Part Two

 Dark Lessons


Strena woke up early the following morning from her usual nightmares. She looked around at her new room, which would be her home until it was time to leave. It was narrow and had one single bed with black covers and pillows. Beside it was a bedside table where she dumped her bags and there was nothing else in the room other than her.

She reached over to her bag and pulled out her book, quill and ink. There, she wrote down the previous events, using her magic to dry as she wrote. Once she was done, she put away the book, cleaned the quill and put the lid back on the ink before putting them all away. She then put on a pair of black trousers and a grey top. She put on a black belt to keep them up. After she opened the door and stretched and looked around. She heard Zaryb moan, almost like he was in pain.

"Stop it. Brother, please no! I don't like this place! NO! Don't do this! Please don't do this!" He wept in, to her surprise, her native tongue!

I didn't know that he knew my language. Then again, he does look like he was from there. He must be from the Desert Planes.

"You're up early!" Remarked Grasharlo.

She looked to the side.

"I always wake up early. Now do you know where I can pee?"

"Oh, come with me."

They walked down the stairs and walked to the door next to the chimney. She opened the door and her eyes met a large tunnel. She then followed Grasharlo to a large chamber with light coming in from a hole in the top, revealing lilac grass and trees with maroon leaves. There was a stream in the centre.

"Take a leak in the stream."

She walked up to it and let all the urine out and pulled her trousers back up. She then looked break to see that her urine was completely gone!

"What?"

"It's gone! The urine is gone!"

"Urine and dung eating algae. I invented them myself! Mainly so that I could take a leak or dump any time I want, without any fear of the water getting dirty."

"Oh!"

That's actually genius! I didn't know that magic could do that!

"Come along."

She followed Grasharlo as she did, she did not take her eyes off the woman for one second. Watching her every move as she rubbed to the main room.

"Tell me, can you cook?"

"Yes."

"Can you do it with magic?"

"I don't know. Never used it to cook."

"Alright. Then let me teach you."

They walked to the kitchen area, where Grasharlo started her cooking, using magic to light her fire. Then moved all the meat and vegetables with her magic too.

"Tell me, do you know the name of the first recorded Dark Lord?"

"Danstainv Darlor."

"Good, good. Not the first Dark Lady?"

"Dalay Darco."

"What was the name of the kingdom of Dark Lords and Dark Ladies?"

"I don't know."

"Why is that?"

"I saw the posters of Danstainv and Daley on the poster on the Assassin's Guild's board. I read their profile and saw that they were both recorded to have been killed by Phorap The Mad. Yet there are rumours that they are alive somehow. I would have taken them if I had the skill and experience."

"Alright. The Kingdom of Dark Lords and Dark Ladies was called Kingdarlalor."

"Pretty name."

"Not a pretty place." She commented as she took out the plates.

"Which spell is the most forbidden to use?"

"I don't know."

"It is the soul destroyer." She said as she shared the meat and vegetables equally.

"Do you know what it does?"

"Destroys should?"

"Good girl."

"Logic."

"Good girl. Now, onto a basic history. Dark Lord Danstainv was a royal born out of wedlock during the First Age Of Gods. He studied directly under them sling with twelve others, of which he was the oldest. They were able to trick them into telling them all the dark secrets that they hid. He then soon saw a woman that he liked and stole her from her family and used his dark arts to marry and made sure that she bore him an hair. After he taught her all he knew while leaving her mind with love. She fell for him only for their son to kill them both. Yet he was able to come back, somehow and was then taken down by Phorap Philosopher The Mad. 

"Yet there are those that believe he is still alive somehow." Strena commented.

"Yes, there are. Do you know why that is?"

"Because when his son gave birth to his daughter, he and his wife died under suspicious circumstances which came after the battle between him and Phorap Philosopher The Mad. Also there were people who say that they saw him give a baby girl over to a King and Queen who raised her."

"And you know who that baby was?"

"Dalay Darco, who married into the family when she came of age, which was twelve then."

"Yes, and house older was she when she became a Dark Lady?"

"Twenty. However, she only studied the dark arts that her grandfather had ticked the gods and goddesses into telling him."

"And when she gave birth to fifteen princes and princesses and taught them all she knew. This was how Kingdarlalor was formed. Yet none of them killed their mother and took all her power. Yet they didn't graduate as a Dark Lord or Dark Lady until they were sixteen."

"And how do you graduate?"

"By killing a Dark Lord or Dark Lady and taking their power for their own. Now this lesson's over. Fine for breakfast."

Zaryb came down and they started to eat.

"By the way, why is the soul destroyer so forbidden?"

"Why? It's there someone you hate that much?"

"No. I just wanted to know. I mean there are worse things like that or there."

She felt her fingers touch the Artemis Pendant. Grasharlo looked at it for a moment. She cocked her eyebrow and took a glance at Zaryb with a smirk.

"Maybe, yet when it comes to the soul destroyer, the price for the caster is that they will always feel a torturous pain for the rest of their existence. Yet it will always increase once you get used to the pain. There have been many, many Dark Lords and Dark Ladies that have been rendered useless because of that spell. Also, don't think you can chicken out of it by dying. Another price of that the caster is pointed to their bodies until they are killed by an immortal killer."

She nodded. They soon finished eating.

"Now, fine for your next lesson. Blood magic."

She frowned.

"No. Why that now?"  Zaryb asked, worried.

Grasharlo smiled.

"Stay out of this. If you interfere again I will pay you a little visit tonight!" He sang as she walked up to him and sat on his knee.

He suddenly seized up.

"And make you do all those things you don't like." She said leaning back into his chest.

He looked away as he looked as if he was about to throw up as he became submissive.

"Good boy!" She purred, kissing his neck.

She then got back up and skipped over to the black board. She picked up a piece of red chalk.

"Now blood magic was invented in the Fourth Age Of Gods, with the appearance of Goddess Clohida who taught the Dark Lady Darbloa. When she returned to Kingdarlalor, she was able to teach the residents all that she had learnt on the subject. This includes the different potencies of blood. Animals, aside from magical animals, have a low blood potency taste, meanwhile infants, family as well as royals, especially ones with magic, have a high potency rate. Nobody knows why it is that way, but it is." She said as she took out a knife.

Suddenly Strena felt her blood run cold and suddenly she felt completely afraid. That she was about to slice her and this all had been a ride to get her blood to just for her own nefarious means. Then she gave the knife to her.

"I want you to use this, think of something and cut yourself and put you will into it."

She nodded as she looked down at the blade and her arm and the cuff.

"Girl, I would like you to know that the cuffs are too blood magic." Zaryb said, sternly.

"Good boy! But I told you not to interfere! So tonight I'm going to visit you!" She sang.

He let out a deep breath as his eyes looked down. His body shook slightly.

Ignoring this she nodded. She then thought of the necklace around her neck. She thought of how much she would like to get rid of it. So she thought about that. She cut herself and drove this thought into her blood. She felt pain rise up in her hand. Then the blood started to flow but it stopped before it even reached the ground. Then it shot at the necklace. Then it fell after the blood cut it. She then looked down at the necklace as it hit the ground. Then another thing she wanted nothing more than it to be completely destroyed. Then get blood to it. The blood burst into flames and the flames spread thought the necklace and devoured the necklace until nothing but ashes remained.

Then she felt herself become drastically weak and she fainted. Zaryb zoomed at get and caught her. Then Grasharlo clapped.

"That girl has talent! In fact I know someone who would love to meet her. You should be proud. Yes, I can tell she will make a very powerful Dark Lady."

"Glad to hear it!" He said, bitterly.

"You know, I have an older brother who would find what she did very exciting."

"In what way?"

"I'm the stirring king. Although I don't like him much. Yet I guess we are alike." She said leaning in. "Our lust is something that is very powerful."

She kissed him on his lips. He then froze.

"I hope that list of yours will be your fall."

She let out a laugh.

"Maybe. By the way, the last lesson of the day will stay once she wakes up."

He nodded as he looked down at the girl.

Looks like I will have to keep this brother away from her.

She smiled.

"You can try but once someone's caught his eyes, he usually follows them until it comes time to kill them."

Even more of a reason…and stay out of my head!

"No! But tell me, are you hoping that she will do it?"

"Leave me alone."

She then wrapped her arms around him.

"No. I guess I'm glad that you interfered. I guess that you have been feeling very lonely."

"Stop it!"

She leaned in close to his ear.

"And maybe I can help you with that."

"No. Just stop it!"

"But you like it, don't you?"

"I really hope that list of yours gets you killed."

"Me too. Although, I hope it won't be a disappointment. But don't deny me. Just imagine what I could turn her into and what I could make her do."

Sure smiled as tears fell from his eyes. 

"Better."

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.

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!
