The Nine Dragons The Water Dragon Part Nine

 The Commander’s Battle 


Loc ran up to the top. When she reached the top rooms, she found nothing. So, she picked up a book. Judging by the back and the puffy pages covered in worn leather it was well read. If not, it was the most read. She put it in her bag out of sheer curiosity alone.

She turned back to the door only to be met by a wall of fire that caused to cough as smoke entered the room. This caused her head to become light and cloudy. She had to get into her hands and knees, just to escape the smoke. Something told her the breathing in the smoke was not a good idea. Yet as she looked on, it became clear to her that that was not a good idea either. This left only one option available to her.

She looked back at the window. Dread of what she was about to do rose up in her as she crawled to the window. She got to her feet and jumped out of it. She quickly fell. Then she felt the pain all over her body before everything went completely black.

When Loc woke, she looked at the book. She spotted the castle of the Dragon Cult was nothing but a pile of ashes. She looked around to see if there were any survivors only to see none.

Good. I don’t think that I am in any shape to fight just yet. Well, not until I have eaten and had a good rest. But first.


The Commanders only came out

at night and they live in a fortress

under the sea where they can stay

with their dragon master Aquamort 


So the best way to get there is…

Her stomach rumbled and felt the terrible hunger pangs.

“Ahhhh! Can’t think without any food!”

So she walked around to find some food. She soon found a tree with, what looked like, purple apples. She picked one and ate it. She found herself smiling as she ate bite after bite. She closed her eyes to enjoy it more and to take in every sweet bite. She soon finished it and was about to pick another when she saw it. Ahead of her was the town that helped her here. To her horror everyone was dead! Not one of them was alive. Yet she saw that their decomposing corpses were all lined up before the water.

She dropped the fruit as she looked around to see not even one child or woman was spared. She felt sick to her stomach and rage filled her heart. She found herself regretting that she did not deal with Ryu Dra sooner and that she did not deal him a more slower and painful death.

Then she heard splashes behind her. The Commanders were here.

“Tell me, what happened here.” Demanded a large shark-like one.

She turned around and, mockingly, raised her hands.

“I surrender.”

“What?” Said the one of them that looked only slightly taller than the piranha army.

“You heard. I killed them.”

“Why?”

“They were helping Aquamort. So they had to die.”

“How come?”

“Silim, we have our orders.”

“Yes sir!”

The piranha commander dived at her and gripped her behind the neck and they all plunged into the sea. Loc tried to hold her breath as long as she could.  Yet they were swimming at such a pace that the pressure got to her. She, before she could stop herself, gasped for air only for water to flood her mouth and everything seemed to go black.

When she woke up, she soon spotted that she was in the castle as she coughed and coughed up the water. She was soon panting and looked around. She soon spotted the Commanders holding her. She looked down to see that she was above a lime green pool and she knew where she was. She flipped her legs back and thrust herself forward. As they fell back she drove her feet into their stomachs. She then rolled onto the wooden ledge.

She looked around and quickly spotted Peble. She quickly grabbed it. She spun up only to have her blade meet the other blades. She tried to push on only to find that they were stronger. Then they put pressure upon her blade. She spotted that her blade shook as she felt the pressure build. She knew that she would have to find a way to use their size and strength to her advantage. 

She then stepped on one foot and ducked. She flicked her blade down and went to drive the blade into the first commander. Where he rolled over and went into the water.

She then went to strike the next one but he met her blade. Then she spotted the trident coming at her. She ducked then, as she spun her blade to the right, he jumped back and she was hit in the back of her head. She then felt a trident in her side, keeping her awake.

Then she felt it pin her down and she looked around. She stabbed the commander in the webbed foot and the trident loosened his grip. She spun to the left to feel a blade in her side. She felt a groan escape her lips as her eyes rested upon the two. She slashed to the right and the blade was driven in further as he jumped. She let out a scream as the pain shot up into her side. She then spotted the shark was closer. She quicked stabbed to the side, piercing his skull. She pushed him off.

The next moment she saw the piranha drive his trident down and pierced her abdomen. She let out a cry as she was flipped up in the air. She gripped Peble as hard as she could as she raised her blade? Then she was thrust down. It took all that she could to keep hold of her blade. Then he flicked her back up in the air. She was then plunged back into the wooden floor. He did this again and again and again. 

Then the wood broke. She reached out and gripped the trident. She could feel herself getting weaker and weaker. She then drove her blade upwards. She flew over and she drove fist into her back. Then cut off the fin. Then he spun. She drove her blade up into his abdomen. They collapsed amf all went black.

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!
