Lasta Coop The Five Fairy Orbs Part Two

 Avalon 


They arrived in the middle of what looked like a garden of many apple trees. The grass was a healthy deep green and the apple trees were high above their heads. There were a great amount of apples on each branch to a point that they were littered with apples that had fallen because there was no more room on the branches. 

The sky was a strange golden yellow colour and the clouds were a pale yellow that looked almost white. Yet the sun was a bright scarlet.

"Where are we?" Otb asked.

"Avalon. The recorded resting place of King Arthur."

"Guess we're not here for him." Lasta commented.

"No. So come, we are in a hurry. And eat nothing here other than what we have packed." She instructed. 

She nodded. Lasta looked at the apples. She had memories of how they tasted. Yet even though she remembered that they tasted great, she could no longer trust them. No, this must be some test. Yet, she could not help but be curious about whether or not they were accurate. However, there was only one way that she knew would satisfy this curiosity. She was about to reach out until Salynara hit her.

"What did I say?"

"Sorry." She said, sullen. 

"For that you will skip lunch." She snapped.

She looked down in rage and nodded.

"Why? What's wrong with eating an apple?" Otb asked.

"All apples here are enchanted with a dangerous magic that makes anyone fall into a deep sleep that can only be broken by either a kiss of a lover or a fairy of the Seelie Court and as I destroyed that…"

"Then why did you not say?" Otb snapped. "Also you do realise that she's a child? She's probably curious about how they taste."

"That's no excuse!"

"There's no excuse for not telling us either." He snapped.

She nodded.

"Good point. Now come. We would want to move on. I want to cover as much ground as we can."

They walked at a fast and steady pace that Lasts struggled keeping up. Yet she knew that the fact that she was wearing the bracelet that Salynara had put in her was the only thing that helped her keep up.

Salynara pulled out a map and looked at it then looked around. She walked onto a narrow path and then traced it to the clearing of the forest. She looked around and then back at the map. She then took a step off the beaten path and they followed her to a group of stones.

There were four in a circle with a stone in the centre. Lasta looked at the writing on it.

"Now what?" Otb asked.

"I guess I-"

"Urm… There's writing on those stones. What do they say Lady Salynara?"

She frowned as she reached out and touched it. Suddenly she spotted the writing on the stones. She then looked at the other stones and jotted them down too.

"Well…"

She then reached out her hand and took out a knife. Lasta felt herself tense up as the fairy looked at her. She took the girl's hand and pricked the finger tip. Lasta bit into her lip to stop the pain from getting to her. 

Suddenly they all fell right down. Then they hit the ground. Everything went black. They soon woke in a dimly lit chamber. There were high colloms. With arches holding the ceiling up.

"Now what?"

"Patience!"

Salynara looked at the map and at the writing.

"What does that say?"

"Look. I am trying to think! I need to figure it out."

"What?"

"Then why don't you read it out. You never know, we might help." He suggested.

She looked at him with a frown and nodded.

"The centre roughly translates to


'I give out life,

Hear many strife,

I hold the head,

Of your dead!'


'If I could speak,

Truth is all I tell,

Many will come and seek,

And my secrets they sell!'


'Futile I would bring to all,

Barren not a soul I call,

Yet I have only,

Colloms three!'"


Lasta crouched down as she thought about the words. She knew that it was a riddle. Yet she also wanted to be the first to solve it.

"The other?"

"Oh, they are the words of earth, air, fire and water."

Lasta looked up, her eyes shone slightly. She was struck with the answer. Yet she wondered why she could not think of it earlier.

"Earth."

"What?" Salynara asked, confused.

Yet she returned to the riddle and then back at her.

"Oh!"

She smirked and patted her on her head. 

"Good thinking girl!"

She tried to hide her shy smile.

"Thank you, Lady Salynara." She said, trying not to get her hopes up.

"Now." She sang. "Time to get this one done!" 

She returned to the map as she laid it down, aligning the symbols to the stones. Then they walked down to where the earth symbol was. They walked down the corridor for a long time. Yet, despite her hunger, Lasta did not dare to complain. She knew better than to. She did not even complain when she felt her legs start to ache. She did not want to be the source of any delays or to inconvenience them as much as she could help.

They eventually came to a door. In front of them was a table. On it were three symbols. As soon as Salynara looked at it, her eyes widened. She was about to close her eyes but then something came to her.

"Otb, go to where it says Arthur."

He did.

"Girl, go to Gwenevere."

She did.

She walked to where it said Merlin. Suddenly three seats rose up. Lasta looked at Salynara for answers.

"Sit."

They did. Suddenly, they were yanked to the circle stone table. Then the floor beneath lowered and spun. Then they were beneath the floor. There was a gap where two stones flung inward. Sealing the top and them in wherever it was they were going. Lowering them in the darkness, not knowing the next time that they would see the light.

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 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!
