Strena Adventures With Cerpheres Part One

518 Years After The Fifth Age Of Legends 


After several months of having Kitsuné Ryu in me, I have been freed. It was the most horrendous thing that I had experienced in my life, not even when Dark Lady Grasharlo used me to resurrect herself was that bad. He had used my body to kill so many people that it still sickens me. I still see their faces in my nightmares, I still see their blood on my hands and the way they were murdered every now and again. I still hear their screams in my head! 

Even though now I feel clean, I can’t help but feel the echo of the dirt and dirt of a different kind.

I am sorry. We were not able to save all of those poor creatures from being used in that potion but we were able to get Askook, a friend of Master Chashathrophogh, (honestly, how many friends does he even have?) was able to steal the potion that led to me and Uncle Master Zaryb being freed from Kitsuné Ryu and Wolfox. Which I am glad about. He deserves his freedom.

I also no longer have my cuff that keeps me from getting too far from Uncle Master Zaryb, although I do still feel it, which is strange. It’s like it’s still there, just like how, for a long time, I could still feel the Artemis necklace. Although, I suspect it will take longer for that feeling to wear off. Which means that I am free to do whatever I want, even though I don’t feel like I deserve it. Not after what father had done.

Master Chashathrophogh and Bash are also free from the spell binding them, which scares me. What if he tries to kill me in my sleep? Although I probably deserve it. No, I think that I should not continue Father’s bloodline over to the next generation.

Speaking of which, Bash’s evil mother drought her deadline forward, so within the next two weeks, Uncle Master Zaryb and Bash will have to get married to stop her from marrying this evil King that she has never met. Which is wrong. After all, no one should have to marry someone they don’t know or love. I mean what is wrong with Bash’s mother? Why is she even like that? 

Anyway, I just hope that they will be happy and she makes him laugh from the bottom of his heart, and not because he has had too much to drink. Yet I have noticed that he has been drinking less and less lately, which I am glad about. 

Yet I do want to get them something for their wedding. After all, I think that it would be the least I can do.

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...

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...

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...

Strena Acceptance Part Three

 A Truth That Scars They soon came to a town. Strena and Bash looked at the local bounty hunters tavern. “Do we have enough to get to the Desert Planes?” She asked. “So the little princess can speak on her own!” “Shut up!” “Well, do we?” Strena asked, keeping on track. “No. We probably need at least four emeralds and rubies.” Chashathrophogh admitted. “Then I’ll get a bounty and we’ll split the royalties.” “Good thinking Arielsa!” “Strena.” Zaryb and Strena corrected. “Right.” “Also, Bash, go with her. That way she would pick a good job that she can do.” “But don’t underestimate her.” Bash nodded as the girls walked in. She looked at the board. Strena soon picked one and showed it to Bash and she looked down. Herra Of Hogworth 100 Emeralds & 7 Rubies Herra of Hogworth has taken over Herraldt three days ago. Despite our best efforts we could not take him down. So please, free us! Issued 7th Friday Dec 514 Years After The 5th Age Of Legends  “That was the beginning of last m...

Strena Acceptance Part Two

 A Secret That Must Be Kept Strena woke from a nightmare the first thing her eyes dropped to was the cuff before putting her diary away. She then looked up to Chashathrophogh, hoping that he did not read it. She knew that the moment that he found out what she was she would be dead. She looked to the side to her Uncle Zaryb. She hoped that he would keep quiet yet, as she did not know Wolfox, she could not be quite certain he would.  They soon woke up and Cerpheres gave her a delicious stew. In fact she had never tasted a stew so good. They all ate slowly before they marched on. As they did, Strena walked closer to Zaryb than the rest. Yet Cerpheres walked up to her and put an arm around her, making her jump slightly. “Are you alright little beauty?” “Urm…yeah. Why?” “It’s just you seem to have a lot on your plate. Wanna share?” He purred. “No.” “Come on! Are you really going to say that in that way?” Yes. “You need to look stronger than that!” “And if I did want to share, you’l...

Strena Acceptance Final Part

 Daughter Of A Tyrant  Strena woke up early to the scent of blood. She looked down to see Cerpheres, chopping up a rabbit. She rose to her feet, the events of the night were still fresh in her mind. “What are you doing?” She asked in a dry voice as she walked over to him, the tips of her fingers rested on her blades. “Cooking breakfast!”  “Can I help?” He smiled. “You’re feeling brave!” “Nothing to fear.” He chuckled as he smiled to himself. “Sure. You can help.” He sang as he handed her a group of vegetables. “Cut those up will you?” She took out a knife and started chopping. “Try getting them smaller dear.” She nodded as she did. He then returned to chopping the rabbit. “Mr Cerpheres, could you tell me more about him?” “Who dear?” “My father, Emperor Nazon Zuvé.” He let out a high pitched sigh. She jumped slightly. “Well, I heard he was a great man!” “He was evil.” “Greatness has nothing to do with morality.” “Oh.” “Well, he was known to be a great warlord. In fact, he ...

Doormaze Drage A World Of Truth Final Part

 Lie Despite having the piece of the Reality Sphere, they stayed there for three whole weeks as they recovered. This gave Doormaze plenty of time to think as she found herself in the castle library, reading book after book. She absorbed all that she could there as she knew that she could not stay anywhere near Coalmine or Burn as she knew that the decision to be made had to be hers and hers alone. She wondered what to do about Coalmine as she did. At first, she could not think past her rage at what she had done while they were traveling together. But, as she became desensitized to it, she seemed to start to think calmly. It was strange to her the moment that she did have the first clear thought. However, part of her still felt that anger and the calm and anger flickered like the flame of a candle. This happened through the second week. Then in the third week it was put out and she was able to meditate on the decision completely calm and completely clear. There was no anger in th...
