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.

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.
