Cari's Hunt It had been three months since Cari set off for the neighbouring isles, Queendom Isles. From the moment that she set foot on the first island which was the queendom known as Emerald that it was nothing like the Kingdom Isles. The whole place looked fancy with highly decorated houses and vividly beautiful gardens. The women wore fancy dresses that brushed through the gemstone walkways and the men wore highly flamboyant suits. This made it difficult for her to distinguish the difference between the classes. Cari noticed that she stuck out like a saw thumb with her plain black leather shirt and trousers and robe. Even more with her cross-bow sat on her hip and all the things that she needed either in the leather rucksack on her back or on the other hip. She had a lot of time to think about what she wanted to do for to earn her food on the table and she had decided that after meeting Kir, she had decided to become a bounty hunter, just to see if she liked it. Sh...

Melting Of The Ice Now that the White Demon was dead heat came back into Coalphyre and Phyredoor's body. They were about to rest for a moment and think about what happened but then a piece of the roof came crashing down. They then felt the whole castle shake and knew exactly what that meant. So they took up the unconscious Pheoshan and ran to where the exit was and kicked the ice. It crashed down with such ease that it was unnerving. They slid down the melting staircase and then came to the room that led down. They again kicked down the door and ran to the staircase and again slid down the melting bannister and soon the ice cracked and smashed under their weight. Their back side hit the stairs hard, but they had no time to attend to them so they had to run down the stairs. Then Phyredoor slipped and hit her younger brother causing him to fall. He then twisted and wrapped his body around them so that only his back would get hurt. He was suddenly glad that he was wearin...

The White Demon The first thing that Pheoshan spotted was her friends, the second was the ice chains around their wrists and ankles. She then could see that they were pale with snow flakes in their hair, brows and lashes. Their eyes were unfocused but open and it was all too clear by the water vapour steam, they were alive. They must have a bit of ice in their system just like me. She noticed by looking at how thin the cloud was. Their unfocused eyes slowly moved to her. “N-no!” shouted Coalphyre weakly. “Y-you sh-shouldn't b-be here!” “C-Coalphyre's r-r-right!” shouted Phyredoor who's voice was just as weak, if not more. “Y-you h-have to g-get out o-of here!” “No, I mean how the Hell am I supposed to do that? After all it's all too clear that I don't know this place and I also don't know where you are trying to take me. But you do.” she snapped. She took out her sward and swung it to their chains and they broke. They then turned to the door t...

Frost Of Heart Pheoshan felt cold, like she had taken a light nap. She knew that this cold feeling in her chest was bad but she could not place why. It must have something to do with that blade. She deduced. “You're quite right!” came the White Demon's voice. “What do you mean by that?” she asked. “It does have something to do with the blade.” “What-” that was when she realised what was going on. Somehow the White demon was reading her mind. If that's the case then how and when did this happen? “The moment that blade pierced your heart. It left a small ice crystal in your heart which is only going to grow and nothing, not even true love will stop it and here's the thing, the more that your heart beat increases the faster it will spread.” she explained. “And at the rate that it's spreading...Well it's safe to say that you will be dead within a day.” Pheoshan wished that she could punch her at that moment but she forced herself to keep c...

Castle Of Ice Pheoshan finally arrived the following day at the double doors of ice with an ivy pattern coming from the bottom to the top. It had a triangular shape with seven towers that rose with the upper two connected by a tunnel. The whole thing looked like a life sized beautiful toy palace. Even the towers and walls had the ivy pattern poking out from what would have been the walls! Then she saw that the double doors had white roses as their knobs, however it became clear that the blue and whit walls even though they were clear you could not see through them. “In awe I see.” came a cold voice from behind. She spun and pulled out her blade before she could even think. “Well why don't you come and see for yourself?” she asked. The ice projection chuckled lightly. “I would rather not.” “Why? Chicken?” “No, I just know better.” “Are you here to gloat?” “Partly and partly to observe even more of the skills that you have in both combat and plain logic.” ...

The White Demon Pheoshan and her companions had been travelling and training for a month after she was exiled by her father. She had seen that the snow had not subsided. She had thought that winter ended when New Years ended but Coalphyre had told her that it was about nearer the end of Nimon which was like February. At the moment, he had told her, they were in the final two weeks of winter. This she was grateful, she could swear that her fingers and toes would be frozen forever. They could see that the night was drawing in. So they decided to set up camp and Phyredoor set up the fire as they set out to find a rabbit in hibernation. This was how most of their meals were obtained during winter. They then took the corpse back and Coalphyre skinned them and stewed it. They then handed out the bowls and ate. Pheoshan spotted a lump of snow in the far distant horizon and they ate. They all spotted that the lump of snow as coming closer and closer and when it was time to clean up...

The Exile Hikari looked at Cari finding it difficult to read her face as they walked away from Scorcher. She seemed distant, the way that she was when she was in deep thought. She seemed paler than usual. She seemed to be colder too. Hikari wanted to ask why but she didn't want to interrupt her sister's thoughts. The trip back seemed to be going faster than Cari remembered and they were in Mie'mory by nightfall. This gave Cari time, time to think about what she had learnt and what she had to do because of it. She knew that she no longer belonged in Fireheart and knew what she would have to do even-though nether she nor Hikari would like it. She then closed her eyes and let her mind sink into dream. In her dream she found that she was sitting with a ripped up tapestry surrounding her and a scarlet tread in her hands. She then spotted that a thin bony hand with scars and hardened fingers and palms. In the fingers was a needle. She reached out and picked up two pie...

The Princes Heart Hikari caressed the black feather in her hands barely understanding what was going on, but what she did understand was that her sister had come to rescue her and that the dragon that had kidnapped her had used magic to turn her sister into a feather and she had to get out of Scorcher. She got to her feet and used the core to put her tangled hair up. She then ran away from the heat of the lava and into a forest with orange bark and crimson leaves and yellow grass. She then spotted a shadow in the distance. Quickly, she climbed the tree near her. She looked at him waiting patiently for him to come and pass. Then she saw his white eyes and black hair and black lips and his scull-like face. Her eyes widened in fear as she saw the boy that had done nothing but hurt her for the past year. That was when she spotted something the colour of hey in the top half of her sight. She looked up to see that it was hair. She raised her fingers and suddenly realised that it ...

The Quest Complete After learning about the truth she knew better than to go to the king of Mie'mory so she came to the boarder of Scorcher. She looked at the high wall that looked like the edges of a dragon wing. Now the question was, how was she going to get in? She knew that whatever she did is was not going to be easy. She looked around and spotted that there were several trees near the wall. This, she knew that was a good place that she could hide for a few days to look at the patterns of whenever they opened the doors. She ran over to them and climbed the tree. She stayed there for several days. She soon noticed that there was a cart filled with hey always at dawn and left by midday. She knew that was the only way in and she somehow had to get in that hay not only as quickly and silently as possible but as lightly as possible. She sat there on that third day thinking on how she could do this. “Hey!” whispered a voice in her ear. She flicked her dagger out and at t...

The Conspiracy After leaving her kingdom and her home behind Cari made sure to put a great deal of distance behind her before she put up camp. She took this time to gather her thoughts and figure out where her sister would most likely be. She knew that the dragon did not take her out if the kingdom and across the Royal Sea for even a dragon could not fly that distance, not unless he or she had a meal or two and none of the witnesses reported seeing a food pouch on him or her. She took out her map of the Kingdom Isles and a sandwich that the cook had packed for her. She took a bite and opened the map up. The Kingdom Isles were made up of a circular island which was Fireheart, and the land the others formed a triangle with Lightlot, the kingdom that she was in right now, being the only one that did not have an island. Mie'mory was at the top of the triangle with an island to form the arrow point of the Kingdom Isles and the other two parts were split down the middle ending ...
