Lasta Coop Free From The Fay Part One

 The Enactment Of The Plan

“Sooo! What’s the plan?” Purred a man, simply known as The Watcher. 

He wore a purple hoodie with pink diamonds all along the back with a pair of black trousers and boots with silver buckles. His face was always hidden under that hood so only those who knew him knew what he looked like.

“I thought that you had the plan! You’re the one that has dealt with these types of artefacts! Haven’t you!?” Snapped the Tooth Fairy.

“Who, little old me?”

“Don’t you dare pretend that you haven’t!" 

He let out a moan. 

“You’re no fun!”

“Just get on with the plan Watcher!”

“Alright!” He sang. “Tell me, how good are you at stalking?”

“Don’t know, never done it.”

He let out a lyrical chuckle.

“Don’t worry, it’s just like trying to get a tooth! Although, admittedly more difficult, provided the fairy that we’re talking about.”

The Tooth Fairy let out a huff. She was starting to lose her patience with this man.

“Just get on with it will you!”

He just chuckled.

“Alrighty. You can stalk Salynara and Lasta and Otb. While I go on an adventure to retrieve an artefact simply known as the Cuff Breaker. Although it will not destroy the cuffs it will just break them.”

“And why do I have to do the stalking?”

“Because the retrieval of this device is more my forté and being as silently as a horror movie villain is yours.”

“‘Horror movie villain?"

“What? Would you rather a thief instead?"

“Fine! I’ll go!”

“You better! And do take care of yourself.”

“I will!”

She flew away and it took a day to reach her. There she followed him for four to three weeks.

Meanwhile, the Watcher approached a temple in the middle of the woods. He walked up to the front door.

Right, now how to go in. He thought as he looked at it from top to bottom. He could not find anything of interest. He placed a hand on the wood and closed his eyes. Then he heard a voice in her head. 

“My doors open if the one that enters users has no intention of using them for ill purposes.”

Well that's interesting. I like this set up. So all I need to do is think of the girl that I want to set free.

So he did and he pushed the doors open. He walked right through them.

Inside was a table in the centre and a staircase behind it. On the table was an envelope. He walked up to it.

On door one you shall find,

The desire that wants access to the enemy’s mind.

On floor two you will find a plate, 

That which is your true fate,

On floor three there is a key,

That will lead one to be free!”

That’s it! He thought, not even bothering to read the rest.

So he walked to the stairs and walked up to the first floor. Then he passed the second until he arrived at the third floor. He soon walked onto it. He came to a door and looked down. He went to push the doorknob but his hand went right through.

So. Not that way then. 

He looked at the door and placed his hand upon it and pushed. Nothing happened. So he looked back down and saw a keyhole that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Then he heard a set of stone slabs rubbed against each other. He looked back to see that there were boxes behind him. He walked up to the first box.

So this is how you are to open the door.

He looked at the markings on each box.

Hold on if there's three of them that must mean that two contain fake keys.

How very delightful!

He looked at the markings and pushed at it. Then one slid down. Then he heard a very rusty creaking. Then one stuck out. He then pulled it out, revealing the key like structure then the box opened revealing a silver key. He picked it up and walked back to the door. He pushed it into the keyhole and turned. Nothing happened.

Oh well! It’s times like this that make me miss my old lock picking kit.

He turned to the next one and picked it up. He spotted that there was a doorknob. So he twisted it and a pole moved to the right. He did the same with the last one. The pole fell out and the chest opened. He picked up the key inside. Which was the wrong one. 

He let out a passive huff.

The cheats started to glow. Then shot together and became one body. Soon it was a body of light. Then the light faded into a large suit of armour the size of the room!

Now this is more like it! He thought diving at it with a blast of fire. This did nothing. So he shot ice at it. This did nothing. He broke a piece of stone and threw it at it. Again nothing. Then he used a strong wind which he turned inwards. He made the wind travel faster and faster. Soon there was a powerful tornado. The Watcher did all that he could to stay on the ground. Then the armour took a step out completely unharmed! He pulled the tornado forward and set it alight causing a firenado to arise. He made it hotter and hotter. Then the suit of armour started to melt. Yet he did not relent until the metal became like water.

He sent a ball of rock at it. He did it again and again and again causing the form to become unstable. Then the thing dropped. Then he looked down to see that there were broken pieces on the floor. They were broken pieces of a key.

Hold on, could it be?

He picked them up and used magic to combine them. Soon he was looking at a key. He walked to the door and it opened. It revealed a key with a small yin and yang on the key handle. And the teeth of the key formed an X. He soon took it and met up with the Tooth Fairy.
