Lasta Coop The Five Fairy Orbs Part Four

 The Tower Of

The Isle Of Apples


After lunch they all hopped to their feet and walked to another door that led to a staircase. Seeing that there was no other way up, they climbed up and up and up. They soon came to another door with a plaque near the centre.


In My Room Lies A Riddle


This told them all they needed to know as they entered a room with a bed and a single desk. On it was a single scroll with a glass case Salynara walked up to the desk and opened the glass case. She unrolled the scroll.


I Open,

I Close,

To My Master's will,

All Must Pass Me,

Either To Enter,

Or Leave 


She then looked around then at the other two. She smiled for a moment and read out the riddle.

Lasta looked down and traced the words in her head. Yet she could not reach the answer. So she muttered the words under her breath.

What opens and closes to it's master's will? And what must all pass to be able to enter or leave? Honestly if only there was more that would give me more info. Something that would help give me a clue. Something that would open up a door. Hold on! A door!

"A door." She said out loud.

Suddenly, beside the door that they came in another door appeared. Then suddenly, the scroll in Salynara's hands lit up with a flash. Then, when the light died down in her hand was not a scroll but a key!

They walked to the door and she unlocked the door. This led to another staircase. They climbed on and on. Soon they arrived at another door with another plaque.


In My Room Lies A Puzzle


They walked in to see another bed and desk. On it was a glass chest. Yet as they looked down they saw a pile of metal shards in. Yet as Otb looked at it he sat at the desk and opened the chest. He then looked at each shard carefully and spotted that they all had a straight side. He placed it down at the edge of the desk. He looked at all the other pieces and soon found one that made his eyes light up. He placed it next to the first one. Only for there to be a light and soon the two pieces were one! He smiled as he looked for more and found one that sat next to that. He did this again and again slowly and carefully until he had a border. He then turned his attention to the other pieces, he took more time this time as he found the piece that sat in the corner of the border. Yet as he went in he took longer and longer until the next layer of the jigsaw was complete. He continued to join piece after piece. Even though it took a long time, eventually the puzzle was complete. Revealing the picture to be of a strange creature with the head of a lion and a tail of a scorpion and large bat wings.

"A manticore."

"But that looks nothing like a minotaur!"

"'Manticore'! Not 'minotaur'!" 

That was when the puzzle lit up and turned into another key. Otb picked it up and gave it to Salynara. She walked up to the door next to the one that they came in from. She unlocked it and then revealed another set of stairs. They reached the top to another door with another plaque.


In My Room Lies A Foe,

Revealed By The Puzzle


At this, Salynara looked at Lasta. For the first time, she had concern in her eyes. Yet she knew that this was not out of care. She knew that she was seeing her as a liability. Yet she placed her hand on the door.

"This one is mine. Otb, guard the girl and ensure that she does not get involved. You know how much she likes to play the hero."

He smiled and nodded.

The moment that they walked in Lasta saw the claw reaching to Salynara.

"To your left!"

She looked just in time to dive out of the way and she flung out a hand to the creature releasing a blast of fire. This caused it to roar out in pain. It then turned to the fairy witch and lounged at her. She dived down and sent a blast of fire at the stomach. It flew back out of the way as it put out the flames.

It then drove the long scorpion-like tail at her. She dodged strike after strike, laughing as she did. She then pulled out a knife and rolled under it and, as she spun up, sliced the tail clean off!

Then the manticore and she flung the knife at the chin. It hit the lower jaw and then the head was set alight. It fell and she let out a breath as the creature lit up and soon there was the key in the flames. Salynara put out the flames and picked up the key. She then collected the blade and gave it to Lasta to clean.

"Wow!"

She smiled as they walked to the next door. She unlocked it and they soon came to the next door. She looked down to the next plaque.


To Get Out, The Treasure That Lies

In My Room, Break The Spell


They then walked into the room with a bed in with a desk with a key inside. Salynara looked at the case. She tried to open the case but to no avail. She looked around it and then threw it to the ground to smash it but it did nothing. She then knew what to do. She put it back on the table. Then she closed her eyes. She gathered all her will and focused it into opening the case. Yet this proved useless.

"Why is this not working?" She snapped.

"What are you trying to do?" Otb asked.

"Open it of course!"

"Don't. It says 'break the spell'." Lasta pointed out.

"What?"

"The thing that was on the door says to break the spell, not open the box." She said, not knowing the word plaque. 

Her eyes widened as she realised what she was saying. She looked at the case. She then gathered all her will and directed it at the spell. Suddenly she felt a pushback. At this, she smiled, knowing that this was a sign that she was on the right track. She then forced her will on. She soon could feel the pushback become greater but she knew better than to relent. She continued, not giving in once. She then felt something break and she fell down sweating.

"Look!"

Her eyes rolled and yet she looked back, as soon as she did, she saw the second fairy orb in front of her. She then took it in her hands.

She got up to the next door and opened it, revealing it was a portal. Which they soon walked in.

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 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!

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
