Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Five

 The Purple Feather


They joined over a large tarain of grass. They all noticed that the sky had become dark purple, but not dark enough to become black. The clouds were dark crimson. The grass was purple and they saw a castle ahead. It was tall and had long slender towers with dark grey bricks with nothing but darkness coming from the windows. In the centre were a set of double crimson doors with jet black hinges.

“What a creepy looking place.” Burn said as she took a step back.

“Don’t be afraid.”

“Is the Purple Monster in there?”

“Yes, and the Purple Feather. It is a shame too, it was once the old castle of my ancestors and now it looks like a place of evil.”

They nodded as they approached the doors, trying not to give into their fear. They soon noticed that they had no doorknobs or keyhole.

“How are we going to get in?”

“Burn it down?”

She nodded and she breathed on the door. Yet nothing happened. She tried it again but there was not even a speck of soot on the doors!

“Alright, maybe we should fly in?”

Coalmine took Doormaze and flew to the windows. Only to see that they were all too small. They flew up higher and higher. Until they flew above the castle, only to see that there were no doors at the top of the castle leading to the rooftop. They flew back down.

“Burn, could you use your magic to blast a hole in the wall.” Doormaze asked.

She nodded and then focused her magic to the wall. She focused all the magic that she had to pull the bricks out, but nothing happened! She tried to do the same and tried to push the bricks in and, again, nothing happened. Then she shook her head.

“So how do we get it now?”

“The door? There must be a trick to it.”

They looked at the planks of wood. All of them noticed that the ones in the centre had gaps in them. Coalmine placed her hand upon one and pushed. This did nothing. She then pulled it down and the plank dropped. Then she pulled and pulled. Then she heard a click and the plank stopped. She then moved on and pulled the next one down. Yet this did nothing. She then pushed it up and the plank moved up and up and up. Then stopped halfway up. She moved onto the next one and pulled it down, nothing happened. She pushed it up and nothing happened. She then pushed it in and then the rest of the door followed. Then they all raced inside.

The moment they were in, the door flicked black and the rest of the door flicked back to normal.

They all took a moment to take a breath.

“Good work you three. I did not expect that there was a puzzle behind the door! So that must be what Father’s song was all about!”

“Shut it!”

“Why?”

“Because, if the Purple Monster is here then we do not need to alert him to our whereabouts!”

“Oh, good point!&

“No wonder you were not able to succeed. Now, where to next?”

“I do not know. The map does not say.”

“Right.”

They turned on to see the high hallway lit by torches with purple flames. With a light purple stream of water at both sides of it.

“So, at the end?”

“Seems like it.”

They walked on and on. They came to a set of stairs. One leading down and the other leading up.

“Now what?” Coalmine snapped.

“King Garnet? What did that song say?”

He looked on and frowned.

“I do not know. This was not here before.”

“Hold on, I know what it says!” Exclaimed Coalmine.

“Shhhh!”

“Oh, right. Sorry.”

“What does it say?”

“Remember the direction of one. Follow that lead.”

“So it’s a riddle.”

“Yes. But what does it mean?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, King Garnet, what do you think?”

“Well, it means that…urm..”

“Maybe it had something to do with the doors?”

Coalmine widened her eyes.

“So that means that we must go down?”

“Seems so.”

They all nodded down the stairs and came to a room where the Purple Feather was. They then collected it.

“Now what?”

“Open the book.”

They all looked up with a frown.

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!
