The Nine Dragons The Life Dragon Part Twenty

 Destruction Of The Pools


It was early the next day when they were able to set off. 

“Tell me, why did you not fight in that last battle?” Asked one.

“I told her not to.”

“Why?”

“Because you needed to know that you could do it on your own. After all, I may not always be here to sort out all your problems, you have to learn that on your own. I am not going to be another Paradtopia. I’m here to help set you free from Paradtopia.”

The man nodded.

“Then after all of this is done, do you expect us to do all the work to heal our land?”

“I will help you as much as I can, but I will be leaving as soon as I can. I do need to take down the final two dragons.”

He nodded.

“Then we will help.”

She looked at them in horror.

No. Not again!

“And don’t think that this is on you. I heard about the last two and their size and the size of their armies. And, if they are to be believed, even with a grain of salt, you need all the help that you can get!”

She looked at him, shocked. He had blue eyes and raven black hair.

“Really?”

“Yes, dotty eyed girl!”

“Loc. Pupilless eyed one.”

“Niko Saki.”

She noticed that he was handsome just like Ryu. She looked down, trying to keep herself emotionally distant. After all, she knew that he could die too. Yet she was also immortal so what was even the point of getting close to someone if they would always die? What was the point of even making more friends or any connection for that matter? No, it was better to stay closed off. It would be less painful that way.

So she did all to not look up and she kept to herself. She saw people talking to each other. She saw them laughing with each other. Some tried to come up to her and start a conversation but she tried to shut down the conversation. Mainly by ignoring them, mostly men. Yet there were some persistent ones that kept going.

“You know, I never would have thought that Paradtopia was evil until you came along!” Some would say before they would go on to telling her their life’s story. A thing that she did not remember asking. This happened until they finally reached the palace.

It was made of white marble with domed roofs and high and thin towers with golden spires at the top. Yet in the centre were a set of silver double doors with pink dragons stood rampant on a baby blue background painted in a thin pale rim.

What a beautiful palace!

Yet she knew that she did not have the time to focus upon that. She walked on and pressed the handles down and they opened to an interior that matched the exterior in beauty. Yet it was completely empty. The only audible sounds were the distant sounds of the dragon and her generals.

Yet as they walked in, she noticed, as her stomach dropped, that their steps echoed in the palace. This caused her to walk slowly as we walked to keep as silent as she could. The rest did the exact same thing too.

“Where are we going?”

“The pools.”

“What? The ones that were made by Paradtopia?”

She looked back with her eyebrows raised.

“She would regurgitate her stomach acid and the other dragons would do the same in the pools in their domain.”

At this her jaw dropped. She looked down in awe as she took her time to let that information settle in her mind. She looked down.

So this is one of the big three that I need to take down!

Hold on, her stomach acid makes those pools? Is that flammable? Is that why all of the other pools are flammable?

Doesn’t matter, I need to take those pools out. Then time to get on with it!

So she walked down to the lowest floor beneath the ground floor. She noticed that the size of the floors decreased until she came to the final floor. Ahead of her were three doors. They were all different sizes and completely plain. The walls were dull too.

This must be it.

She walked in. She quickly set fire to the three pools inside. Then and did the same to the other pools in the other two rooms. Then they left.

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...
