Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Seven

 Thirst 


The girls felt cold despite being in such a hot place. Their tongues and dry mouths were so dry that they cut their tongue every time they moved it. Their skin was dry, red and flaky. They could feel their lips were cracked. They would have spoken or complained about this if they did not know any better. So they traveled on and on, shaking the entire time. They became tired quicker too, however they knew that they could not stop until they came across some more safe water. Their eyes felt raw and every time their eyelids dropped they burnt.

How long can we keep this up? How long can we?

She fell forward and soon Burn followed. She would have spoken up if she had the ability. She could tell that she had a dry and sore throat. Yet she could tell that she was barely hanging onto consciousness. Yet Coalmine picked up their wrists and dragged them on and on and on. Even though this burnt, it was their only way forward. So they put up with their pain yet nor could they even complain about it so this helped Coalmine go on and on and on.

Yet she too could feel ill. She felt like she was going to throw up. Yet she could tell that both her and Burn were shaking uncontrollably. They could no longer sweat which made their skin burn even more.

How long can we hold on here?

I want to go home! I just want to go back home and sleep in my own bex and sleep all of this off.

Yeah…that would be nice…

But I need water! If only we all could just find some water! Then we should be able to get back on our feet. Then it wouldn’t be on Coalmine to get all of this done for us.

Yeah…She seems to be the one carrying all of this. We’re just holding her back.

She looked up at the tarain and spotted that she too had glowing eyes. It would only be a matter of time until she too could no longer tolerate this harsh atmosphere. She could tell all of this was nothing more than just waiting for death. Yet Coalmine kept traveling on and on and on. Nothing but determination was keeping her going. Yet even she had started shaking and became clumsier and clumsier. But she pushed herself on and on and on. Then her foot hit a rock and she fell. She hit the ground hard and she did not move a muscle. Both Doormaze and Burn pushed past through it all to get a look at Coalmine. Doormaze flapped her hand in front of her and pressed it to her mouth to see that she was alive.

Good. She thought before all went black.

When the girls woke they saw a big puddle. All commando crawled to it and drank. This gave them all a new boost of strength. So they were able to get up and could tell that it would not hurt them to speak.

“Now. Food.”

“Agreed.”

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...

Scar Attempts Of The Witches Part One

 The First Attempt  Scar had hardly left the house. She was on her bed curled up. She thought back to Beatrice and Britannia ane and how Morana looked at them. How she held them and how she hugged and kissed them like a mother should. She then thought about how she shot her and tried to kill her on multiple occasions. She then thought about how she beat her up.  She curled up tightly as she found herself crying again. Her mind went to how she left her saying that she was to deal with the witches alone and how she was to stay away from her family, almost like she had forgotten that she was her child too. Yet she knew that she would never get the side of Morana that they would get. No, she was stuck with a monster that wanted nothing more than her corpse. While they would get a mum. Soon ths crying turned to weeping. Why? Why did she have to be their mum? Why does she treat them like daughters and not me too? Why did they make it sound like she was an angel Gabriel, when sh...

Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Eleven

 Water It was a whole week when they arrived at Dalane Lake. They had, by that point, been out of their supplies for a day before they arrived. They were all exhausted and were at their wits ends. So the moment that they saw the sparkling water they ran to it, their minds blinded by their hunger and thirst. The moment that they reached the water they saw the lush crop of fish they smiled. The next thing that they noticed was just how clear it was and yet the whole plain was untouched by any scorch marks. “Hey!” Doormaze called pointing at it all. “I know.” “It was the same with the spot that we were staying at. Some of the fire creatures saw that place they moved on, almost slightly scared. But we did not see anything wrong with the place.” The girls nodded. “So, time to drink.” With that they lined up at the bank of the lake and drank in as much as they could. Then they refilled their water skins. After, they threw out a line. “How many should we get?” “As many as we can. After al...

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 Orange World Part Six

 The Journey Across   The Fire  They walked on and on. Almost aimlessly now. Yet they knew that they had to find an aim, but none of them could find what it was they were looking for. Their stomachs were feeling like needles were in them and their tongues were feeling like rocks and their throats were sore. Yet they almost gave up hope then they saw a small clear puddle nearby them. They crouched down and looked at it. Soon they lowered their heads and sucked it all up. This wetted their mouths but all knew that it would not be enough to give them all the strength for anything that they knew that they needed to do. So they walked on and on and came to a cave in the side of a volcano. “I would give anything for a bite to eat!” Groaned Doormaze. “Me too.” “Stop complaining! I’m used to it!” “Should we go in there?” “Maybe there’s food in there!” “Yeah! Like a good stake!” “Or a bug at least!” So they walked up to the volcano. They walked up the dark cave. For a while t...

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 ...

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...
