The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest


Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time.

Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it.


In the year of three after the dragon 

defeated the royals and has taken all

our first born and killed them. Then

another dragon of great beauty and 

majesty carved out pits where she 

regurgitated up a strange liquid that

made up a series of pools. Then the 

rock dragon did the same and put the

dead firstborn in. Then they all grew 

rock over their flesh and came out

alive and as rock. Then, upon the orders

of the dragon, killed their own parents!


“Loc?”

She looked up to see the woman that she had stayed with. Even though it had barely been days it felt like years since she had last seen her.

“Hay.” She said, her voice filled with more sorrow than she wanted to expose.

She could still feel her heart was still aching. Yet she could not quite get as to why.

“So, did you do it?”

She saw a flash of Ryu’s dead body.

“Yeah…” 

She could feel the hand of sorrow around her throat.

“Are you alright?”

She hit her lip for a moment.

“No. I’ve been feeling a pain in my heart since Ryu, the one from here, died. Not like the other Ryu that I did not care died.” She admitted as she felt her throat tighten harder.

“Who?”

She told her everything that she had been through since she left.

“Sounds like you were falling in love.”

Her eyes widened”

“I-I was what?” She stuttered with her cheeks becoming scarlet but this did not stop the tears.

She sighed.

“I did once. It was Haru, he was the only one that I thought of as a possible lover. I even started to fall for him but the day that I had finally plucked up the courage to tell him he was killed and taken by the rock men. I was distraught. In fact I cried for over a week.”

“And why are you-”

She felt the tears falling and she just broke down. She dropped the book as her body shook with grief. She wrapped hefarms around her and held her tightly until she had calmed down like a mother.

“Come, Prince Shiro’s coronation is today.”

She looked up and nodded slowly and picked up the book. She put it back into the library. She followed her to the spot and she saw the crown on his head was made of stone with black gemstones in the centre. 

“I crown you King Shiro. Long live King Shiro!”

“Long live King Shiro! Long live King Shiro! Long live King Shiro!” The people cried.

They all clapped and clapped. This gave way to partying and he walked down the parting. As he walked down he saw her. He then pulled out a sword and walked right up to her.

“Kneel.” He spoke, his voice gentle but firm.

She nodded and knelt. He placed the blunt side of the blade on one shoulder.

“I knight you Dame Lorra Cerberus of the Sword and Hammer.” He said as he moved the blade to the other shoulder. 

“How did you-”

He pointed to the crown.

“The gen knows the true name of all that look at it. That is what the dragon wanted. The reason is unknown to me.”

She nodded.

“Now enjoy. This is the day of celebration.” 

She smiled weakly. She followed him to the table where she ate and ate chicken and had a few vegetables. Yet as the day wore on she was able to finally laugh. Then she saw a couple dancing to the music. That was when she felt a tug in her heart. She looked away and once she had finished all her business and read every book in the library, she found the pool that led to the next land and stepped on it 

to take down the next dragon and his or her armies.

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...

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 toa...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 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 Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Final Part

 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...

Scar A Case With Companions Final Part

 A Closed Case And A Nasty Shock Within the hour they were taken to the police station where Scar handed in her phone, which had been on and recorded everything. She and the twins explained everything to them. Then a police officer, Detective Smith, walked in. “Well, Bea, Brit, what are youfoung here?” “Sorry dad, it’s just Scar was investigating that dead guy Bea saw get killed the other day.” “And ’cause she’s always in ’n’ out of hospital with terrible injuries.” “We were worried about her so we followed her.” He nodded with a stern frown. “But we didn’t know what we were getting into until we were caught! Promise!” “Well, your mum will be coming soon. She has been worried about you all afternoon. You know that she’s a busy woman and she gets worried when you don’t come home. Do you remember when you spent a whole day looking for that cat?” They looked down red and nodded. “Honestly, you’re lucky that Scar called ahead or I don’t know what would have happened!” That was when Br...
