The Nine Dragons The Dragon Infirno Part Seven

 Heat Stroke


Loc had been on the road for a day and a half. She had made sure to keep her hunger at bay as much as possible, yet she did not overeat. No. She made sure to ration her food as much as she could. She knew that she had little time to dawdle. She kept up a good and steady pace which maximised her energy.

That was until she saw a large creature made of living fire. It was in the shape of a wolf with eyes of sapphire and a body of scarlet. It looked at her and sf heard the sound of a roaring fire that mimicked the sound of a growel. 

It then charged at her causing the ground beneath the paws to catch on fire. She reached out her hand and stopped it in its place. Then fire flared out of its mouth and came at her. She rolled out of the way. Then flung out a blast of fire and it hit. Smoke rose from the top of the front leg. She hit it again and again and again and more and more smoke rose. She hit it again and again and again and again. Soon it was covered in smoke. Yet she did not relent. Soon the fire built and built until the fire shot out and exploded, leaving nothing behind.

She then walked on and on and on. Soon she saw another as she had built up a sweat. Yet her determination kept her going on. This one was in the shape of snake. She heard it hiss that sounded like a roar of the fire too.

Right. How am I going to do this? She thought before it dived at her.

 She quickly dived out of the way.

No time to think! 

She then saw it strike at her again and again and she dived out of the way. It struck again. She dived out of the way again. It struck. She dodged. She flung her hand out as it went to strike her again. Then it stopped.

Good. I can do this. She thought as she then threw fireball after fireball at it. She did not dare stop. She threw one after the other. Even when the heat increased and it was covered in smoke. That was when she was hit in the back. She spun and threw a blast of fire at the flames. She dived on and once she was on the other side, she flung a large fireball at it causing it to explode.

That went well. She thought as she walked on.

Yet as she walked and walked she started to get thirsty and so she took a sip of water yet as she walked on and on she did this again and again until she ran out of water. Yet soon after that her mouth became completely dry as a desert. As she took step after step her sweat started to dry up. As she still walked on and on the heat became worse and worse. Soon her head started to become dizzy. Yet she continued on and on. Soon she was seeing double. Yet as she walked on and on she felt very hot and started burning. Then she passed out.

When she woke the following day she felt cold inside even though her flesh was burning and covered in sweat. She could feel herself shaking slightly. She felt both hungry and yet, at the same time, nauseous. Part of her wanted to lie there yet she knew that she had to get up. So she forced herself on to her feet. She then took out a sandwich and forced herself to eat it. She knew that she might throw it up later but she preferred to have something to throw up. 

She remembered that, as a child still living in Miémory, when she was ill, she vomited until she had nothing to vomit up. She still felt her body trying to throw up. Then her body squeezed until dung and urine was in her knickers and her favourite nightgown. It was white nightgown with purple roses sewn onto the cuffs of the sleeves and at the bottom. It almost stained them and she remembered after that, sitting at her mother’s feet apologising as she spent day after day getting all of that out.

She walked on and on, trying not to think much about it. Soon she saw another fire monster. It was in the shape of a leopard. It looked at her and roared at her. Then it raced towards her. She pushed her mind to focus as she flung out a fireball at the face. This stopped it as it shook its head in confusion. She then ran on and on. Her lungs cried out for air. Yet she hit it again and again and again. 

Then as she came closer and closer she felt something hit her. She flew in the air and she looked to her left to see the jaws. She then summoned a ball of fire and threw it into the mouth as she reached it. Fire flared up and the next thing she rolled in the air in a rapid pace. Ths she collided with the ground and rolled and rolled and rolled. She saw it getting closer and closer. She threw out her arm and she was back on her feet.

She saw it was galloping towards her. She ran on and on and threw out a fireball at it. She then threw out a stream of fire out and at the fire head of the leopard. This soon caused it to explode.

She then walked on, feeling tired and weaker. Yet she forced herself on and on and on. She could feel her flesh was burning and worse, even though it could not physically burn, she could feel herself boiling. She knew that she could not put up with it for very long.

That was when she saw another fire monster. Part of her felt her heart sink. Yet she had to go on and on. She noticed that it was in the shape of a vulture. It let out a cry as it raced to her. She dived out of the way before it could reach her. She hit the ground. She then banged her head. She then threw out a ball of fire at it. It missed. She did it again. It missed again. She did it again and again and again in a row. The last one hit. She noticed that she was seeing double again and her vision was starting to blur. 

Yet she forced herself shoot at the vulture again and again and again. Then she saw it coming at her. She shot a stream of fire at it. She kept the pressure on as much as possible. Then smoke finally rose up as she started to feel a strain inside her body. Yet she forced herself on and on. She felt the strain increased more and more. She felt her eyelids dropping as she stopped. It then dived at her. She fell as she dived out of the way and hit her head again. This helped wake her up a bit. Yet she knew that only be just enough.

She fired at it again and again and again. Then it shot at her and she sloppily rolled out of the way. Then hit her head again. Then shot a long and powerful blast. She kept it up and on it until she could no longer hold on. She fell down to see that it was gone.

Good!

She took a small nap before she got to her feet and went on her way. She knew that she had to get in yet she still felt weak. So she did all that she could go get in and ate more of the food in the box. She took out the next water skin bottle and drank as much as she could. But it took all for her to pull her mouth from it as her body wanted more.

Then she was hit by something to the side. She hit a cliff and soon landed. She looked to the side to see an owl on fire. Then it dived at her and she was soon in it's fiery talons. Sue shot fireball after fireball at it as they flew in the air. She then shot a stream of fire at it. She did this until she could not hold it up any longer. She stopped for a moment before she fired another one. Yet she threw more fireballs and as she threw fireball after fireball at it, she noticed they were getting smaller and smaller. She could see that they were getting colder too. She sent another stream of fire. Then she exploded and she dropped and hit a rock and all went black.

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...

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...

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 or...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Thirteen

 Burnt Pools They walked on and on. They walked to a set of large steps. They had to sit and slide down as they descended lower and lower. As they looked down the tunnel was getting lower and lower. Yet as they went lower and lower the light grew dimmer and dimmer. Soon it was completely dark all around them. Loc had to summon a ball of fire as the men travelled down further and further. Then had to put it out and felt for their hands to gude herdiwn before lighting the fire again. They did this again and again and again. Then they saw a dot of light ahead. Yet as they continued to descend, the dot of light became bigger and bigger and bigger. Soon it became a spot. Then they went down further and further and soon the light became like the sun in the sky. They continued and soon they saw the bottom of the stairs as they travelled on and on and on. Then they travelled closer and closer to the bottom. Soon their feet finally reached the last step. Then they flopped and panted at the ...

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...

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 Infirno Part Nine

 The Fall Of Fire Loc, after a good and long rest, arrived at the chamber where the dragon dwelled. It was made of lava in the shape of a dragon with fire in his eyes. Which reminded her of the eyes of the previous world that she was in. Which seemed like years ago, even though it could not have been more than seven or eight months.  It opened it’s large mouth and threw flames towards her like a wave. She stretched out in front of her. Yet even though she stopped the fire in front of her, it did nothing to stop the fire on the far side of her. She walked on only to be hit by something above.  The next moment she was on the ground, pushing herself up from the rock. She looked up to see a blast of fire coming right at her! Shr stopped it again. She then looked up as she felt the force of the fire increase in pressure. She forced it on but the pressure built and built until she was smothered by the fire. It was like a thousand needles of ice had pierced her entire body. She ...
