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 they come?”

“Tomorrow. The first division in the morning, the second in the afternoon and the last in the evening.”

She nodded.

“I hear a lot from those that…passed the town at the arrow.”

She nodded.

“Right. We will all split up and tell the residents here the truth.”

“Alright, but don’t get your hopes up.” Ryo spoke.

She nodded as they all split and she came to the first door. The homes were like that of the town in the arrow, just all of them were detached and had been painted pink with light pale yellow roofs. They were bigger too.

An obese woman answered. She had been clothed from head to toe. Loc noticed that her shoes were polished within an inch of their lives.

“Yes dear?” She spoke with a sickeningly sugary voice.

“I’m Loc and I am here to tell you that Paradtopia is not as good and kind as she makes herself out to be.”

“Sorry dear, but I cannot believe you. She provides us with such sweet food.” She said, slamming the door in her face.

At this she frowned. Yet she moved onto the next door. She experienced the exact same thing and she moved onto the next one and the exact same thing happened. She narrowed her eyes for a moment as she did this again and again and again. Yet she knew that she needed to know why they, regardless and of what she did, refused to believe her. So when she knocked on the next door she knew that she would have to get to the bottom of this.

“Yes dear?”

“Why do-no. What did Paradtopia ask of you?” She asked.

The plump woman that stunk of too sweet coffee frowned.

“What makes you think that she asked anything of us, dear dotty eyes?”

“I just want to know why people are adamant on Paradtopia’s goodness?”

Yet this was met with a door closed in her face.

Great. Time to move onto the next one. Hopefully she will be more reasonable. She thought as she did and asked the exact same question that was met with another door slammed into her face. She did this again and again and again.

So that night they all regrouped.

“Did you get anyone to listen?”

“No. They all slammed the door in our faces.”

She nodded.

“Is there a library here?”

“Yeah.”

“Where?”

“Follow me.”

So they followed Sai to the library in the centre of the town. The library was a pink and purple circular building with pillars all around with a statue of Paradtopia above the entrance.

Yet Loc could never get over just how beautiful the place was. Yet she could not give herself the time to appreciate it. The first thing that she looked at was the spines of each of the books. She soon found the history section. Yet she quickly found the first volume on the land. Sje skimmed it and then found what she was looking for on page ten of chapter two.



So, after Phellioth failed to kill Paradtopia he,

in order to pay tribute to the dragon, ordered all

the first born to be given to her. Yet in return for

his life and she has given us comfort and peace.

She had been good to us so that we want for 

nothing and need no reason to go out much. Under

the condition that we continue to give her all our 

first borns.


“So that’s why.”

“I knew it!”

“No wonder.”

“We will act tomorrow.”

“Right.”

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been...

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 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 Thirteen

 The Army Against The Last  Loc had a light nap before waking up to see the fakegels, a name she had come up with after the fight and handed the second borns over to the rest of the first borns. She could see the men also taking a light nap, just like she was. Yet she knew that she did not have time to wake them. So she pulled out her sword as she could not be bothered to get Rock and Stone. There was no time. She ran on and on. To her relief she did not see a line this time but she did hear shouting in the homes of mainly women and some arguing men. Don’t focus upon that. Not when I have a fight to win. She turned to see them all in the air. The first thing she did was push the fire out from under her feet and dropped onto the back of the first one. She blasted the left wing then stabbed down. She ran on and dived to another and did the same. She then dived to the next one and did the same again and again. Making sure to keep up the pace and not let up once. Until she was sna...

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...

Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Three

 Heat Doormaze and Burn were almost drenched in sweat. Yet as far as they have traveled they had not seen a single drop of safe water! Yet they could see that Coalmine was a lot less affected than they were. Must be due to her dragon side… That was when her mind turned over the dream that she had when Dark Curse and Dark Destiny discussed turning her into a dragon. Maybe it won’t be a bad idea after all. Maybe if I was a dragon then this heat will not be so insufferable. ‘Insufferable’? Ahh! Suddenly she could feel the heat of her body becoming hotter and hotter and hotter. Her mouth felt dry yet she could feel it getting dryer and dryer. She tried to keep her mouth closed to keep in as much moisture as possible. But her lungs demanded more air forcing her to open her mouth and this caused her mouth to become dryer and dryer. Soon her tongue looked like a pink desert. Yet this dryness traveled on further and soon her throat became as dry as her tongue making her cough and cough. He...

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...
