The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of Death Part Three

 Hunger


When Loc woke up, she looked at her supplies. She noticed that all her food had gone!

Now what?

On. The sooner that I get this over with the sooner I will get some food. She thought, getting up onto her feet. Despite her aching muscles and heart, she walked on. She could see that she was going to have to put up with this until the dragon is dead. So she walked on and on and on. She did it until she had to take a break to give her body a rest. She felt her stomach worsen. Yet she got up and she kept walking even though she felt herself distracted by her rumbling stomach. Yet she forced herself on and on.

She then spotted a skeleton coming at her. She ran to it, only to see a sword in it’s hand. He swung away as she drew hers. Their blades met. Then she went to set a fire to the skull but it dived back. Then it charged at her to the side. It swung to the left then the right. She met the blade every time. Then it started to get faster and faster. This caused her mind to become alert. She too had to get faster and faster and faster. Then she thrust out a kick in the spine.

It flew and she charged at it. She reached it and it thrust it’s blade up. She dived back but the tip still scraped the top of her abdomen. She flipped her foot out and it collided with the chest plate. With another foot she stomped on the head and this caused the skull to fly off. Then she summoned a ball of fire and hit the collar bone. This soon set it alight and she landed, feeling even more hungry than she did before.

She had to lie there as her stomach rumbled. Shegot up once she was well rested. She traveled on and on and on. Her hunger increased and her mind became foggy. Yet she forced herself on and on and on. Soon the hunger became worse and worse. She tried to ignore it as much as she could. She heard the rumbling getting louder and louder. Soon it started to become painful. Soon she felt sleepy and the only thing that kept her awake was the pain in her stomach. A pain that she could not alleviate. No, the only thing that could was killing the dragon. 

She could feel herself starting to lose her energy and she felt more and more tired. She started to see double and her vision became blurry. She tripped and she hit her head. She felt pain pierce her skull and brain. She felt blood flow and her eyes closed.

When she woke up, she felt the hunger becoming very painful at this point. She felt extremely cold and weak. Her hand trembled as she tried to push herself off the rock before any more blood. She hit the back of her head again.

“Aw!”

She pushed herself up and onto her feet. She shook as she walked on and on and on. The hunger and pain builtand built. Sbd felt herself become colder and colder and colder. She became weaker and weaker and weaker. She felt herself shaking more and more and more. Soo. She felt herself sweating, making her colder and colder. Soon her clothes were drenched in sweat. She then fell down again.

She tried to get up but she could not as her legs were shaking too much. Yet she tried to get up but her weakened legs could not bear the weight. She fell back down. She tried to do this again and again and again and again. She fell every single time. She did this until it became clear that she could not get up. 

Her eyes closed, as she hoped that her slumber would ease her hunger.

Later while she was completely unconscious a large skeleton approached her. It was the size of a large house. He picked her up and knew that this was the woman that had been slaying the dragons that had been ruling over the planet for a millennium. He suspected that she would find it almost impossible to kill his master. Just like all of the other candidates that have tried and failed. Soon she too would know that very same failure…

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...
