Strena Road To Roqaur Part Six

 Arrival At Roqaur


They walked through the forest. She looked at Bash. She noticed that she must have been fifteen to sixteen. She saw her harsh look yet she also remembered dreaming about her and even Chashathrophogh.

"Urm.." She was about to say, yet she realised that she did not know what to say. "I saw you in a dream once."

She raised her eyebrow.

"Really? I did too."

"Do you know why?"

"Destiny, I guess."

"Soo! The girl is supposed to have a destiny. That I would very much like to know!"

"Wolfox!"

"Alright! You can talk to your friend. Although -"

His face dropped.

"Sorry."

"You need to keep control of him."

"I can't but I can direct him."

"I know. But you need to at least try."

"Sooo! Arielsa was it?"

"She goes by the name Strena."

"Which is the name that you forced me to go by."

"Why?"

"I prefer not to say."

"Then you better."

He looked aside.

"Zarry!"

"I'll tell you tomorrow!" He moaned.

That was when Cerpheres walked up to him and draped his arm around his shoulder.

"Oh? And why tomorrow?"

He went to take a step away from him but Cerpheres took a step closer to him. He drew him in closer and leaned closely on him. He looked down at him with a mischievous look in his eyes.

"You're not planning on escaping in the night, are you?"

"No." He said with a high pitched voice and a curled lip 

He chuckled.

"Shame. I would've liked that!" He sang as he kissed him on the cheek.

At this he punched him. He smirked and licked his bottom lip. Suddenly he looked drunk.

"Oh! That was a good punch!"

"What? Did you actually like that?"

He looked at him like he was a cute animal.

"Maybe!"

"Chash', keep him away from me!"

"Only if you don't run away like last time. After all, I do want answers and you will give them to me."

"Oooh you're scary!"

Then Cerpheres looked at Strena.

"By the way-"

"No."

"But I didn't say anything!"

"Don't want to talk to you."

"But I want to ask you one thing;"

She looked up at his false sad look. Then she sighed.

"What?"

"Can you punch me?"

She rolled her eyes, as she knew that there was no avoiding it and wanting to get this outrage, fear and anger out of her system she punched him in the right cheek. He then was dragged back slightly.

"That was a good punch! You know you're much stronger than an average girl your age!"

"Well Master Zaryb has trained me like mad since I was five."

"Oh? Well I can tell-"

Then his eyes dropped to the swords on her hips.

"Are they Orion and Director?" He exclaimed, his eyes teeming with excitement.

"Yes, and yes I can weld them both!"

He looked at her impressed.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really, really?"

"Really, really!"

He licked his lips.

"Then I should expect great things from you!" He sang as he walked on.

They soon left the forest behind.

"Tell me, the king here-"

"Is dead."

"Right."

"Then back to the inn?"

"Yes."

"Are we going to another Bounty Hunter Tavern?"

"No. Chash' is a Quester, not a bounty hunter so he won't be able to go into one of those."

"What's a Quester?"

"Someone who goes on quests, finding hidden treasures and artefacts." Bash explained.

She nodded as her eyes widened.

"Master Zaryb. Can I be one of those?"

"Sure, but Chashathrophogh will have to be your master in that regard."

"Really?"

"Do what you-"

"Hay, I thought of a good idea." Cerpheres sang.

"Just make sure that it's appropriate!" Chashathrophogh and Bash said at the same time, taking a glance at Strena.

Zaryb and Strena frowned as he looked at them.

"Weell, I like the idea of being a Quester and Miss Strena wants to be one too, so why don't we all become Questers?"

"Good idea Mr Cerpheres."

He smiled slightly goofy.

"Seee, the girl agrees."

"Well the girl doesn't know you." 

Then he let out a sigh.

"Fine! And we may find something that will help you."

Zaryb huffed.

"Why do you think that I became one in the first place?"

"So you wanted to help your friend? That's nice."

"Don't make this weird!"

"Too late!"

"Why don't you just give up on me?"

"Because you do not give up on friends!" He shouted as they reached an inn.

He looked back at Strena, then his cruel face appeared.

"Tell me, your niece is a bastard, isn't she?"

"Yes."

"Why is she still alive?"

"Because Gajellidor Darcrogh put a curse upon us and we have been chasing him down to get the box that the curse is tied to in order to break it!"

He nodded.

"Now I would like to talk with Zarry."

He smiled and shrugged.

"Sorry."

"Doesn't matter. Tell me do you want the girl to be signed in as-"

"Strena."

He nodded 

"Now, Arielsa, you're going to be signed in with Bash. Zarry, you will be lodging with me and Cerpheres." 

"Fine! But if he does anything-"

"Then don't try to run away."

"Fine."

Once they were all signed in, Bash  took Strena by the hand.

"Come on!"

She nodded as they walked to the room.

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...
