Strena The Voyage Part Six

 Taken Ship


It was late at night when Captain Loofahtuom woke up from his long nap. Which, for him, was quite unusual. After all, he never fell asleep on the wheel. No, the last thing that he remembered was sailing, then he felt a powerful and overwhelming tiredness overcome him like a tsunami. Yet he resisted the drowsiness, but, regardless of how much he tried, he could not resist it for long. After all, the tiredness became worse and worse and worse and more powerful. It built until his eyes closed and sleep overcame him.

Yet, all in all, the Navy should have killed the Prince Captain. Yes, there will be no pirates or rumoured pirates of the sort on his ship. Over his dead body he would tolerate something like that! Who knew what a troublesome man like that would bring?

“Good night Sir Captain!” Purred a voice in his ear.

He went to thrust a hand back as he looked back. He looked ahead in bewilderment as his eyes rested upon none other that the Prince Captain himself!

“What! You’re supposed to be dead!”

He let out a mocking chuckle.

“I’m dearly sorry but death will never take me!”

“And why is that?”

He opened his mouth.

“Cerpheres! What are you doing?”

“Deadling with a silly little nuisance. Nothing more! I promise!” He purred.

His eyes slid to Captain Loofahtuom.

“And why is he a nuisance?"

“He told the navy about me. Honestly! I had to kill both him and his crew!”

“‘Had to’? Oh please! I bet you enjoyed it and enjoyed it way too much!”

Cerpheres chuckled.

“What? Gonna stop me?”

He shrugged.

“No. Not at all! After all, as you said, he is a nuisance. So it would only be a matter of time until he told more about me, including my dear little sister and none of us wants to go back there. So, I’ll let you have your way with him just this once. Just don’t make the nuisance kill himself! I return, I will stand watch so that you can enjoy your little privacy.”

Atthis Cerpheres chuckled.

“I did choose wisely.” He purred.

He then shrugged.

“Looks like we have ourselves a deal.”

“What? Hold on. I know you! You’re Chashathrophogh Dragoncursefree! The Bastard Killer!”

“Yes. I am!”

“I must-”

“Shh.” Cerpheres whispered, putting a finger on his mouth.

“No!” He snapped as he pushed him away and saw the Prince Captain take out a knife.

Cerpheres let out a sigh.

“I love it when they fight back!”

He looked down and dived back. He pulled out his rapier as Cerpheres dived on. He flung it down and their blades met. Cerpheres pushed on against the Captain. He licked his lips, feeling slightly giddy.

“This had better be interesting.”

“What?” He snapped as he kicked him in the stomach. He dived at the Prince Captain causing him to go back.

“Good man!” 

Not wanting to focus upon what he had just said, he dived to him. He went to slice the throat but he was blocked. He then hit him in the stomach again and charged on. He went to slice him again and again, but he blocked each and every one of them. Then he landed. He swung his blade to him, he blocked, then he flung a kick to his temple. This caused him to hit the deck.

Feeling a sense of satisfaction he let out a sigh. Then he felt him jab his foot in his shin and he fell on top of him. Then he felt a blade in his side. He then punched him and saw the drunken look on his smiling face. Then he pushed him off him. Then he looked down to the blood coming from his hip.

The only thing that kept him from feeling the whole force of the pain was the adrenaline rush as he staggered up.

Cerpheres ran up to him and slit his cheek. He then cut him but he blocked. The Captain felt the sweat building as he went to slit the Prince Captain’s throat but he flicked his head up as he swung out of the way and bellowed out a laugh. Then he cut up his throat. Captain Loofahtuom was relieved to notice that it was too shallow to cut off his air supply. Then he hit him in the head but he dodged out of the way and cut his forearm.

“Good! Good! Keep it up! Keep it up!”

He growled as he flicked his wrist to his temple only to find that he was not there. Suddenly he felt a deep slash in the back.

Quickly he spun around and hit him with the weight of the sword. He flicked his wrist in a circular motion and went to stab him in his throat. Then he felt another cut to his wrist.

“Come on! I know you can do better than that!”

Suddenly Captain Loofahtuom felt cold and his sweat did nothing to help either.

Why? Why am I feeling so cold? He thought as he felt another cut in his leg.

This caused more and more of his blood to spill. Then he felt another in the other leg. Soon he felt another and another and another and more and more of his blood fell. He felt colder and colder. Then with more cuts he noticed that his body was shaking and he fell to one knee. Then he felt a cut on his other cheek. He dropped his sword as he felt a cut across his chest.

I am going to die. I am going to die and there is nothing that I can do to stop it. He thought as he collapsed. Then the full force of the pain flared up revealing more cuts all over his body than the thought. Yet he was far too weak to cry out.

He heard him let out another sigh as he saw his red face and wide wild drunken smile as he panted. He felt despair sink in as he felt the Prince Captain’s breath on him.

“Fate can be so cruel! Can’t it?” He moaned before kissing him on the cheek.

He went completely cold as his last breath left him. Yet Cerpheres calmed down as his breath became slow and steady.

“Now-”

“Time to clean up!” Cerpheres and Chashathrophogh spoke, one whimsically and the other was more of an order.

Cerpheres looked at the man and playfully chuckled. Soon all traces of the Captain vanished alone with all the blood.

“Is that what happened to Phydoc?”

His sly smile spread.

“On second thought, don’t answer that!”

“Alright!” He sang as he played the violin. Soon everyone else woke up and the passengers walked up to the small boats and climbed into them. They were all on the ocean rowing to their destinations, most made it.

Then Strena woke. The ship was almost empty. The only ones that were left were Chashathrophogh, Bash, Cerpheres and Zaryb.

“Wh-where is everyone?”

“Oh! They had to get off the ship.”

“And the Captain?”

“He snitched so he had to get stitched! So the ship is ours, my dear! Now come on, let’s explore this ship.”

So that’s what they did.

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...

Bounty Hunter Bash Labyrinth Lock Part Three

 Dead End They came to a corridor of rosebushes. Bash attached an arrow to her ankle vertically to help mark where they had been. This way, if they came to a dead end, they would be able to retract their steps and go another way. They then came to a crossroads. “Which way?” “Well, not on. After all, that would be far too obvious.” “So that should be where we go.” Strena said, pointing to the right. “No. I think we should go left.” “Why?” Strena looked at Zaryb. “She favours the left. Even though she is right handed.” Cerpheres draped his arm around his shoulder. “And you know that because?” His face became blue as his cheeks became red. Yet his face looked like he was about to throw up. “Don’t ask.” Then Wolfox appeared in his face. “Well, it turns out Grasharlo has certain..” His eyes slid to Strena and back to him then he looked back at Chashathrophogh. “ Needs and Zaryb just so happens to be her type and she would never let him refuse her. I just loved hearing him cry every mo...

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 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...

Bounty Hunter Bash Labyrinth Lock Part Two

 The New Labyrinth  “Well, this is a turn!” “Shut it!” “When did this get here? I don’t remember this being here on the way here or on the maps.” “I know!” Cerpheres sighed as he leaned in close to his ear. “Wanna check it out?” “Urm, get away from me!” He pouted and shrugged. “Well are you?” “No time. We have to make a way around this labyrinth.” Chashathrophogh explained as he walked to the side. “But it could be fun!” “I don’t care!” “Spoil sport!” He moaned. He rolled his eyes and they walked to the furthest corner of the labyrinth only to be pulled back by Cerpheres. “Cer-” He pointed down and he looked down to see a line of dead mice, rats and cattle of all kinds on the other end. Strena was about to walk on and Chashathrophogh grabbed her by the back and pulled her away. She let out a gasp as she saw all the dead animals. “Not that way.” “Why?” “This is Grasharlo’s spell. One of her signature spells whenever she wants to trap someone.” “W-what?” “What does this mean?” C...

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...

Strena Acceptance Part One

 A Cuff That Binds 1st Monday Jule  515 years after the 5th Age Of Legends Me and Master Zaryb arrived at Roqaur on Saturday safely. Yet we met up with Touchable Bash who is also the Exile Princess Drew Of Beforebow, daughter of Queen Shedrey and her husband that was assassinated over five months ago along with her baby brother. Also and none other than Chashathrophogh the Bastard Killer and older Bastard brother of Queen Shedrey which makes him Bash’s uncle. As it turns out Master Zaryb are not only friends, it seems that they are best friends. Which I found unexpected as I did not expect him to have friends. Also we wet a creepy man called Cerpheres, which keeps looking at me in a way that is uncomfortable to me. Almost like prey in front of a predator. However I know better than to allow myself to show my vulnerability. Master Zaryb has trained me better than that. Yet I can sense, despite this, he seems to be a fun guy to be around. We went to a pub there where I found out...
