 A Beat Down Of Rocks The moment that they entered the chamber they heard a growl. The next moment they saw the heads of the hounds and wolves. They hammered on the first row away from them. They took a step forward. Then they saw the next row and hammered away. Then they took a step forward. They saw the next row and took them out then a step forward. They did this again and again. That was when the hounds came from the back at both ends. They all turned to them. Then they all dived to the group. Loc pushed Shiro and Kuro out of the way as they snapped their jaws on her arms. Then she was pulled down to the ground. The next moment her body flared up in pain as the rock hounds ripped and tore away at her skin and she felt the wolves bit her. They did this again and again and again. She tried to wriggle and push out of the way but the hounds snapped a chunk out of her calf and thigh.  She threw a punch at one of their heads. This gave her an opening where Rock was and she smash...

 Journey To The Next Level  Loc, Ryu, Shiro and Kuro held a moment of silence. They thought about the six that had died. She heard Shiro and Kuro crying as they looked back to where that all came from. They knew that they had one army left. After that it would be the generals and then it would be the dragon. That would be the hard part. Loc looked to her side. “Are you sure that you want to continue?” She asked them. “Kuro and me don’t have a choice. The moment Georost finds out that we exist he will seek to kill us. And, after all I have seen, I know that my younger cousin and me can’t go back to the chambers.” “Well said…Although…urm…nevermind.” “Ryu?” “I’m seeing this through to the end. After all, my name is known and the only thing that I have to lose is my life.” So they don’t mind death. Well in this situation they might as well be dead. There will be only one thing that will bring them back to the dead is to win. “Right. Then I will do all that I can to be anything but...

 Fall Of The Second Army They spent the afternoon mourning the loss. Meanwhile Loc thought about her team and the rebellion that she led and her friends and family back in her world. She thought about all those that she had led to their deaths. She remembered her actions and the deaths that they led to and the ones that she killed.  She looked at Ryu, Kin, Kyo, Kuro, Yuki and Shiro. She wondered how long it would be until she led them to their deaths? She wondered if she should stay with them? Or if it would be better if she should go it alone? They spent most of the night making their way to the camp of the second army. The only reason that they stopped was their own tiredness. Once they were well rested they ate and arrived at the camp. Remember Loc, regardless of what you see, don’t lose your mind. You have to remain calm or what happened will happen again. And I don’t want that. So, she was about to leave but Ryu pulled her back. She looked up at him. He gave her a stern l...

 The Freeing Of Children  It had been an entire morning and afternoon on foot without even a lunch break or any break at all. She had found herself looking at Gin, Ryu and Kin from time to time. She took in their toned body and the broadness of their strong shoulders. Then the angle of their necks and jaws. She took it all in. “What are you looking at?” Kuro asked. She looked down. “Oh? Is that a blush?” “Yes, I see it!” She looked up at them with narrow eyes. “I’m blushing?” “What?” “You mean you did not notice before?” “No.” “Have you blushed before?” “Not that I know of.” They all looked at each other and laughed. “You mean that this is-” “The first time you blushed?” “Shhhh!” Loc looked at them, feeling annoyed as they were amused. They all found a rock to hide behind and at the road. Then they saw an army of rock giants pulling a rope with the rock animals at either side of a small group of children. Loc looked closer and spotted the rope around their wrists. She looked b...

 The Time With Doomed Men “Good afternoon.” Loc frowned. “Afternoon?” “Yes.” That was when she felt her stomach rumble. “Have you eaten lately?” She shook her head. “Not since early this morning.” “But that was eight hours ago!” “What?” Then she looked up at the man. He was well built with green eyes and blue hair. “Well in that case you better have some of ours!” He declared as he picked up her hammers. “Hold on, you can lift these hammers?” Remarked another. “Yes.” Loc said, looking at a man with pink eyes and shocking white hair. He too was well built. “Hold on! She has dots in her eyes!” “Yes.” “What! No one in this world has dots in their eyes. Nor can they lift two hammers like that!” “Well, I’m not from this world!”  “Really?” “Yes. So who are you?” She asked, slipping to her behind and rested her wrist on her kneecap. “I’m Ryu.” Said the first then he gestures to one with grey eyes and hair. “This is Gin.” He gestured to one with gold hair and eyes. “Kin.” He gestured...

 End Of The First Army  Loc walked through the archway where she looked on. She saw a camp of rock men ahead. She breathed in and out and took a moment, while they did not see her, to catch her breath. She let her body rest for a couple of minutes and regathered her energy and strength. Then she got up and walked on slowly. She knew that she wanted to get this one over and done with, however, she had to conserve as much energy as she knew that she would need. Then she finally reached the camp, she soon broke out into a run and ran up to the closest and drove her hammer to his head. Then she saw another one coming and ran to that one. Sbe saw one rush to her left. She jumped and thrust it down. Then she was whacked deeper into the camp. She hit two by her left and right. She then drove her hammers inwards. Then, just as she was about to land, she saw a foot come up seemingly out of nowhere. She tried to react but it was too late. Soon she was flying back. She flipped and flippe...

 The Journey To A  Level Lower She came to a row of tunnels at both ends. So she followed them. The first thing that she saw was the rock man at his post next to the tunnel that was at the top of a set of stairs. Sbe crouched down to hide herself from the light. She slowly approached the mouth of the tunnel to take a peek down to see that there was a row of five rock men on each step. She would have looked as if she was to win; she would have to be more brave and less smart. She looked up at the guard, knowing that the moment that he was taken down, the battle would begin. However, she knew that she could not avoid it. So she might as well start it right here and now, while she has the upper hand. Then she felt a rocky fist into the gut. She flung back and whacked the head as hard as she could. Soon it broke apart. Then the moment that she landed, she felt the floor shaking.  Sbe quickly raced down the stairs as more rock men coming. They raced up to her. She then jumped ...

 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 Town Underground  Loc walked down the cave to greet a few houses on the side once she was deep underground. She journeyed on and on and as she did, she noticed more and more houses. Then the cave became bigger and bigger until she saw a full street at the side of the cave. Then as it became wider and wider there were more buildings and as she reached the largest part, she saw shops dotted around it. In the centre of it was a water well in front of a fountain. As she looked around, she saw that it looked somewhat similar to Underground Town back in her world. She looked around for people. She soon found a woman. She was old with hair and eyes the colour of steel. Wearing old faded clothes. “You are?” “Loc, youl” “Gina. You want something?” “Yes. Could you tell me where the dragon is?” “Will do, once we get ourselves inside.” She soon entered her house. Inside was a caret onna pink floor beside a marble fireplace. This was another reminder of Underground Town. In fact, it w...

 The Army At The Mouth  Of The Mountain  After seeing the army, Loc knew that she needed a plan. She knew that it was utter foolishness to attack directly. She remembered how the rocks were able to hurt the rock men. She remembered how the only way to kill them was to destroy the head. So she looked up. She already knew what she had to do. She also knew that it would take a long time. So she climbed up the mountain and walked to the largest rock. So she climbed up to the rock and then lay down behind it. She placed her feet on the rock and pushed it away. It soon rolled down the mountain. Once it was rolling she ran after it. She raced to the ledge. She then stopped it. Then she climbed back up and then did this again and again and again. She could feel her muscles starting to ache and her stomach pains kicked in. Yet she pushed herself on and on and on until she finally made a pile before her calves and thighs started to painfully ache. Yet she knew that she had to conti...

 Down The Mountain  Loc walked off the portal pool and looked around to see that she was at the top of the mountain. The air was thin and the clouds were beneath her. She noticed that there was only one way down. She walked along the edge to see that there was a pathway far down at the bottom beside the cloud sea.  So she flung herself over the corner and reached out her hand and grabbed hold of the rock. She climbed down further and further. She was barely down when she started to feel tired and her lungs could not get the air that they needed. Yet she pushed herself on and on and she climbed down further and further as she had to gasp for as much air as her lungs could grab yet she was able to reach the halfway point. She could feel her arms, legs and lungs aching. Yet she continued to push herself on and on further and further down. She could feel herself getting tireder and tireder. Her arms, thighs, calves and chest aches worse and worse. Yet she climbed down further...

 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...
