The Nine Dragons The Life Dragon Part Seven

 The Last Of The First Army


Loc barely had the time to come round when she woke up as the army was already at the border. She had to jump up, giving her heart a jolt which made her chest feel odd. Yet she had to ignore that and the cold, as she knew that she did not have any time for that. Not right now.

The first thing that she saw were the arrows coming at her. She rushed back as far as her tired legs could run. The next thing she did was run in zig zags as she had to make sure that her movements were unpredictable. No, just a straight line was utter foolishness. She then saw the blade in front of her before it sliced her forehead from the star to the rose. Yet as her body arched back the arrows dug into her arms, shoulder and right leg.

Yet this had an odd sensation. One that she could call only nostalgia. Yet she just could not work out, for the life of her, of what or for when. Yet she would have the sense not to dwell upon it. 

As her body collapsed to the ground the arrow heads dug in deeper as the wood broke. She looked up at the fake angel’s smile and he pointed an arrow at her face.

Quickly, she grabbed the bow so the arrow missed before he fired. She felt the pain coming from the parting in her hair. Then she saw the arrows coming at them. She looked back at the creature with shock and confusion. She ran back as fast as her legs could take her. As she did she saw another set of arrows coming where she was so she ran back. That was when she saw the blade in front of her. She dodged to the left and her left arm was hit. 

She went to swipe Peble upwards only to realize that, in her haste, she had forgotten to pick the blade up! She let out a cry out of her own stupidity. She went to run to it only for arrows to block her way. Then her back was struck. She spun and instinctively threw out a kick. Even though it hit, one chopped her calf to the bone. She let out another cry but forced herself to ignore the pain and race on and on. 

She knew that she could not direct her eyes from it for one second or her determination would crumble like dust. So when she felt the next row of arrows her adrenaline was too high for the pain to be too much to handle. Yet the moment that she reached it, she picked it up. Now was the time to fight.

That was when she saw the arrows and she sent out a blast of fire. So they caught fire. At this she smirked as her eyes flicked to them. She outstretched her hand and the fire started to rise. 

Suddenly they looked at it and then her with a frown. That was when she threw a blast at them. She used this to push the fire across the sky. This hit the front row of them. Yet their bows and arrows and quivered were all set alight. They all quickly threw them off yet the ones that were too slow felt the fire spread and more fell. Yet this did nothing to stop the flames coming and igniting their wings, causing them to fall. Some broke their neck when they landed. 

This gave her another idea. So as the fire reached then next row of fake angels she flicked the flames to the wings one after the other in rapid succession. She could feel the sweat building as the sky became eclipsed with fire as more and more fell and their bodies were broken.

That was when she was pierced. She saw one of the survivors coming at her. She only just blocked. She saw another coming at her. She slid the blade down and curved it up and stabbed his throat. That was when she saw the light reflecting next to her and blocked the next one and kicked up and drove the blade into the throat. She saw another limp to her and she dived on and spun, slicing the head off. Then she saw another one limping towards her and did the same.

That was when bodies fell from the sky like rain. This caused the fire to spread throughout the cobbles, causing things to become very hot. Yet she pushed the fire up and back, away from all the buildings and took out more wings.

She saw another swing of a blade. She dodged and threw the tip of her blade up and dived back. Then she charged back on again. She jumped up and pounced upon his arm and this caused him to stagger back into the flames. Soon he was alight as she rolled out of the flames. Shevsaw more and more coming and she pulled the flames back and the flames hit them like a wave. She did this again and again and again.

Soon it started to rain which she welcomed as she stabbed the last one. She felt the cool soothing water refresh her as it put out her flames. Then as she smiled in this moment of bliss the people walked out and too enjoyed it as they opened their mouths and let the water in and drank it. Then just in that moment they knew what to do.

Scar A Lonely Escort Part Seven

 The Road Morana looked at the map and the sun was high in the sky, which told her that it was noon. So she spotted that the next place that they were best going to was the road that cut between the mountains that would need to go across. So they walked to it. It was the colour of sand and was very gravely. So she looked at her and noticed that her shoes would be able to withstand the road so they walked on. They soon noticed a group of men coming at them. Shd noticed that they all had knives and knuckle spikes on their knuckles. They all wore black and had their faces obscured by a scarf and a hood. They all looked at the two. Then they started to walk towards them. One brought out a spiked ball on a chain and some had a pair of makeshift numb chucks. Yet she could see that they had their gaze locked up on them. Scar looked at Morana. They both knew what they were and both knew better than to give in to them. Morana pulled out her gun. “Well, well, well, who are these beauties?” A...

Scar A Lonely Escort Final Part

 Hollow Warmth The moment that the door disappeared Morana knew something was going on. The moment that Beatrice and Britannia ran through the frame confirmed it. Quickly they ran out of the cell as Morana kept her guard up in case of traps. They ran down the corridor and she followed her husband as she gripped her daughters hands tightly as he ran up a flight of stairs and to the right then up another flight of stairs and to the left and soon they left the underground structure. They were greeted by a spherical stone that had a glowing blue substance that was dripping off it. They then heard the sound of weeping as they looked at the glowing runes fade out. They walked on and Beatrice and Britannia tripped over something. They both looked down to see the dead bodies of Ephah and Damia. At this they screamed. Morana went to dive at them only to stumble over something herself and she looked down to see the dead eyes of Charnette looking directly at her. Her eyes widened as she looke...

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...

The Nine Dragons The Life Dragon Part Ten

 Disbelief Of The Town They all arrived at the town at the foot of the island that she was on a week. Yet Loc looked at the group. She made sure to keep her distance. After all, she could do nothing but think about Ryu. She did this to remind herself of what happened to him. She knew that she would have to keep to herself so that she would feel that pain again. She looked to the side. “Why are we coming here? We should be getting to the head.” “Not if you want to take down the second army. Also this town leads to a faster road, ironically. After all, if we went, what looks like, the shortest way there would be spending a month or two climbing a mountain then another couple on the mountain after that which is double the size. See?” Kin pointed out pointing to the top of the back and chest area of the island. “Oh.” She looked down at the town’s plaque. Dragon Pryd Right, time to get this over and done with . She thought as they walked into the town. She looked at the map. “When do th...

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...
