《A forgotten ruler》Chapter 16 Artemis caught in trap and arrival on floating island

3rd person POV
Artemis stood there on a roof top and frowned as she held baby Akari in her hand. This stunned her when she was standing in the modern city. She felt three different signatures here. Athena’s reincarnation, Hera’s and Aphrodite all at one place. As for if it was a coincidence or not she hadn’t had a clue yet since she could feel a pressure from the school down below. One she knew all to well from Hera when Zeus cheated on her. Yet the current situation was odd to her since she felt Aphrodite’s anger as well and Athena’s pressure was on the whole school. It was as if the three were at war inside this all girls school. She wanted to back away while she had the chance. She much preferred to see the goddess of magic Iris then be in between these three in their fit of angers.
“So Artemis what are you doing here.”
Artemis turned around as she just landed a few seconds earlier near the school gates. Where she felt the pressure but she was stunned by who she saw. The short blue haired girl in a red uniform standing before her was Aphrodite. Her body proportions can put a normal human into shame. Yet she let out a cold aura around her when she asked Artemis.
“I’m here too look for Athena of course.” (Artemis)
Her face was panicking when she saw that Aphrodite had the banner on her arm that said discipline. Which was very obvious as to why she might be at odds when Athena who was behind her. Artemis was stunned to see Athena with green hair and glossy skin as if she was carved out from a white jade. In her mind she couldn’t help but curse when she saw the the students at the side bow and called her student council president. Yet ahead of them Artemis didn’t dear look because she felt all too familiar feeling.
“Theresa this is foul. Foul play I say, I Seiko will never accept discipline. I will fight for the girls rights and freedom of will.”
Artemis couldn’t help but frown when she saw Aphrodite’s mouth twitch into a scary smile. This person was now called Theresa.
“Oh ho, freedom eh Seiko. Let’s see property damage on first day of school costs 3,000. A month later was destruction of the science lab. 4 months later was destroying the kendo club and injuring its members. 5 million remuneration in your name was also because you destroyed the school array as well as the electronics throughout campus. That array we’ve put up was to keep the school itself safe from hacking from the outside and to help develop our students. There’s also fighting off campus with 500 other students which you guys destroyed the near by neighborhoods. Say doesn’t this all add up to be more than 10 million in money.” (Theresa)
Artemis turned around to see in little pink haired girl who was shivering. She was stunned that this was Hera. The ripped arm sleeveless uniform and the short short skirt that was way above the knees. Who was crouching holding to a sword over her shoulder was shivering either in anger or fright from the price or the actions being named. The way she’s dressed also stunned Artemis because the previous her would’ve retorted and refused saying it wasn’t a formal way to dress.
“Enough Theresa and Seiko even if our three family are enemies we still have a guest here.”
“Ah, I agree Emiko. This is after all Artemis and she’s holding a baby which is odd in itself but she says she’s looking for you.” (Theresa)

“Right......... so I wanted to ask how to raise this baby.” (Artemis) (whisper)
Her voice was only loud enough for Aphrodite and Athena’s reincarnations to here her. But Theresa froze upon those words as her mouth was wide open at those words. Emiko gave a wry smile but her shining blue eyes was filled with amusement. One which confused the current Artemis.
“Um... having a goddess owing me isn’t so bad. Follow me to somewhere first.”
Hearing her Theresa facepalmed herself though she herself was the disciplinary community this person had a rather infamous rumor in their all girls school. Yet when she saw Artemis follow her she couldn’t help but give a sympathetic look at Artemis’s back.
“How long due you think she’d last.” (Seiko)
“At most 15 minutes before she falls to her knees in that room.”
“But it’s the student council room without any devices or things.”(Seiko)
“Another lamb lost to that tiger.”
“More like a demon. I mean I like the former her more. She’s not as open as the current one but this ones a bit too playful with girls for my liking.”
“Wait how do you even know that.”
“Delinquent remember.”
“Right and the three of us have to act while in school as if we’re against each other. Since the families has so many spies here. But then again only Emiko can convert them like that so easily. Yet I’m the goddess of love here. It scares me how she’s looking at Artemis when she just arrived here.”
Seiko nodded to Theresa’s words but her small build made her look like a middle school student instead of a high school student. In fact it annoyed her how the current her was flat chested.
“Which reminds me I have to attend to some paperwork. Oh and good luck out running the teachers. You did break the gym windows this morning and there was also the amphitheater that you smoked out right.”
On her words Seiko was running as she heard the teacher coming after her. This wasn’t going as she had planned since she Artemis came unexpectedly. Artemis followed Athena into the student council room stunned when Athena locked the door.
“So my little bird who’s child is it.” (Emiko)
Emiko’s hand held Artemis’s chin as she stared at Artemis’s eyes. Her smile made Artemis stunned because the Athena she knew wasn’t a lady killer nor did she flirt with her own sisters. This left her confused at the current situation since she was also holding a baby in her arms.
“I-it’s not mine. Why are you being strange Athena.” (Artemis)
Instead she was stunned when Emiko kissed her neck instead of answering. She let out an unexpected moan as her neck was sucked on by Emiko. But as she struggled to push Emiko back she knew she couldn’t because in her arms was baby Akari.
“Artemis, this is a first right. Your real image appeared. Yes it’s still a motherly figure but your violet hair is beautiful.”
“S-stay away from me.”
“Why so, it’s just a hicky. We haven’t even started the real deal. At least we’re not siblings now right. I don’t know how the others can get together when their siblings.”
Artemis blushed but this left her speechless how Athena was being so open towards another person of the same gender.
“Stop it Athena you still count as my sister in my eyes. Plus there’s a baby here. I came here for her not to play around.” (Artemis)

“Actually I’m quite serious right now. I mean you did stay single like me without letting a men touch you right. Plus it’s Emiko now. But seriously how can you not notice the fragrance your emitting. It’s no wonder men always tried to get you back in those old days. Well except father and our brothers. Those other gods seemed to be chasing after you. As for what your asking. It’s easy for me. But how about you do a request for me. No more than 30 years. Hm... this girl is a half demon right. I can give her my protection as well to hide her. What do you say.” (Emiko)
“I don’t need you to hide her. I just need you to tell me how to raise her.” (Artemis)
“I’ll only do so if you agree to the condition that you stay with me for 30 years.”
Artemis was stunned when she saw the tail slipping to hold her legs in place. One which she was all to familiar with on which race not to piss off. The devil demon race whom can easily kill in hunger if their diet was blood. There was no horn on her head so Artemis was sure Athena wasn’t a dragon.
“Oh you froze when you saw me in my 1st form. Say this is a threat, that much you know right. Well for you it is. But the thing is I eat souls. Not blood so your fine with that. Though here’s my specialty that all humans seems to have gotten right, soul contract. I added a little extra condition saying I won’t eat you. Well I’ll let you think about it for 1 day.” (Emiko)
Emiko smirked but Artemis shivered as if she knew there was a catch to why Emiko was smirking.
“Because 1 min is equal to 100 years. Say so 30 years of being stuck with me while raising the child or do you wish to be stuck for life. Oh right I made a freezing spell just for this. Which will unfreeze you after 10 days. See having the goddess of hunt owe me is more fun right Artemis. So that being said the time limit is actually 30 days though. I did say you had 1 day to think about it.”
Artemis froze in place stunned that her mouth didn’t open of her own free will. The Athena she knew wouldn’t do something as low as this. But she was even more stunned when Emiko laid her down on the couch at the left side of the room. She then sat on her desk as she looked at Artemis amused. As soon as they came in she stalled Artemis until the spell kicked in. But her words were the truth when she said those words to Artemis.
“Oh in the meantime I’ll help take care of the baby while your frozen. That reminds me you never did experience a man before did you Artemis. Quick question since I now know the child isn’t yours. Are you still a pure girl.” (Emiko)
There was awkward silence as the question was asked. But she knew the answer when Artemis closed her eyes as if to ignore her.
“Actually I’m kinda forced right now too. That’s also why I need you to do this. It’s that phrase you came at the right time at the wrong place. But judging how shocked you are to see me change I’m guessing you wouldn’t have predicted it right. Your gentle yet soft face would make any man cry for you. Or perhaps make them crazy. Meaning the current you is in my current strike zone. Well the spies at this school is annoying since their sent by our families against each other. Yet I have to pacify them. Say doesn’t this sound stressing. Isn’t it interesting to have a goddess whom came for help to get rid of them. So all I want you to do is ward off my enemies, family members and ex lovers.”
Artemis couldn’t help but curse herself for coming to ask Athena. She didn’t think her personality would change so much that she’d threaten her without hesitation.
“No worries I won’t eat your soul.” (Emiko)
If looks could kill Emiko felt that Artemis’s eyes would’ve done her in. But her gentle look on Artemis made her uneasy. Especially so when Emiko picked up Akari. She could see the panic inside Artemis’s eyes. But she smiled at Artemis instead of saying anything.
“Don’t worry I won’t use her to threaten you. Though I’d like to see how long you’d last under that spell and not seeing her since it seems you care enough to come see me.”
Her right hand landed on Artemis’s cheek as she caressed her. One hand was holding baby Akari who was sleeping. Artemis tried to calm herself since she could still see Akari in sight. It had taken her 2 days to locate Athena. Yet on her way here she’d had to ask animals for milk for the baby. Of course she’d become fond of her since it was the only one who didn’t cry when seeing her killing beasts and monsters as they moved. A normal baby would’ve died from all her swift movements that she had to do to dodge and attack.
“Look she woke up. Look at her anxious eyes of not being close to you. Oh look she’s about to cry.” (Emiko) (teasing)
Baby Akari cried when she was away from Artemis’s arms. But Emiko kept her at arms length away from Artemis who couldn’t move. This was upsetting for Artemis who didn’t know how to break the spell. She cursed in her mind that she didn’t learn spells from Iris nor how to counter them.
Emiko walked out but didn’t forget to throw Artemis into her secret compartment under her desk that was also a secret room. She then locked the student council room and place 10 layers of seal onto the door. Before she walked away with baby Akari. Artemis flinched when she saw the numbers jump on the floating contract above her head as 10 minutes had passed. She knew the real reason why Athena used the potion was to pressure her. Instead her hunch was that it’d probably last 30 days at most. But this was only her estimate. Emiko wasn’t really planning to visit Artemis anytime soon since she was going to Theresa to ask her to watch the baby.
Her amused expression as she walked along the blue carpet hallway looking at the garden where Theresa was usually after she regulated the students on uniform in the morning. But she knew better than to ask Aphrodite how she got the potion from that succubus. Either way she knew the end result of Artemis’s struggle was going to be a yes. Instead the wind blew her hair making her look like a fairy descended when she jumped off the 4th floor to the garden.
“I gave her some of your potions. Well 2 for now. Which should last around 3 months. But that’s not the issue I want you to watch the baby she brought.”
“Really I’m eating breakfast and you dump a baby on me.”
“3 months of babysitting isn’t so bad right. You did have a few kids too right. I have to go to a meeting out of the city for 3 months after today so I’ll be back by the day that wears off on her. It should be enough time for her to sigh the contract when I get back. Though I do pity how she has no choice in the terms that it’s gonna add up by then.”
“We do need to get rid of all the spies and our family watchdogs.”
“Wait why are you glaring at me.”
“Did you lay your hands on Artemis too.”
“All I did was kiss her neck. That’s all.”
“You better because if Apollo found out you laid your hands without her own permission he’d turn this entire city into a dessert.”
Emiko froze when she heard her words, so the damn siscon actually casted such a stupid spell.
‘I thought he’d be up to his god of music and medicine name. Seems I’ve misjudged the idiotic one. So if I’d done anything more it’d be like sending a alarm off with him.’ (Emiko)
“From your troubled look the current you and past you didn’t know he was that overprotective over her. That’s also the reason why she couldn’t let a guy have her. Though I have no clue what would have happened if it was a girl. Even Iris is scared how many layers of spell he put on her.”
“Oh right did you investigate that one transfer student.”
“Rina Trenvel Isla. Her family is rich, produces the technology for this city..... low key but has a blessing on her left hand by many gods and goddesses. To which allows her to be able to do anything from creating technology to flower arranging and many more. Actually her wide variety of things she can do with her left hand is a cheat, she’s in flower arranging club. Beautiful grey hair and her beauty is as graceful as a water lily. She seems to be from a family of demons but that bloodline seems lost. So I don’t know if she has it. But she does handyman jobs on the side for students such as lock picking, locating lost items, creating crafts for the handcraft club, treating injured students at the nurse’s office, fixing computers for the technology department, helping teachers with paperwork, and attending other sports club.”
“What of the other girl.”
“Oh her. The daughter of the goddess of bridge Helva. Whom you know guides dead souls into the underworld as we used to call it. Which is now referred to land of souls. But her daughter is a mischievous girl, her name is Lora Topaz. Her last name is actually an anagram in different languages and actually hiding that fact that her father is from the Turquoise (family name) family. Her younger sister is her half sister Aina Lorn. Is actually the young miss of the Fuyu family. Which as we gods all know angering those unreasonable leviathans who live in land is suicide. So even we’re weary of angering a half leviathan. I mean one of them can level a continent when angered. So we’re on every thin ice when it comes to her mood. I have no clue how Helva has a lover from their family.”
Emiko groaned at the problem she has after one another. Meaning the three misses who transferred in were powerful family. They just had to come into a cold war zone in between the three families. The Jade family which Emiko was born in, known for their blacksmithing skills. Ruby family which Theresa was born in was known for their traditional kimonos and tea. Glass family which Seiko was born in is famous for their art work and kendo. Emiko Hibiki, Theresa Michi and Seiko Shun were at odds due to their family being at odds with each other. So they had to pretend to be at odds since childhood when they met. In fact all three of them agreed on a pact in their high school year they were tired of being watched and controlled by their family so they needed to get rid of all the nuisances. Artemis appearing actually helped them a lot though they were forced because of circumstances.
Except one thing they (Aphrodite and Hera) was that Emiko would be like this in high school and such a lady killer. It threw off all their plans so they kinda panicked. When Artemis appeared Aphrodite and Hera were the most happiest until she said she was looking for Emiko. They sympathized that she had dug her own grave on her own by saying that.
“Wait did she just walk off as if it wasn’t her problem. Don’t leave me with the baby. Hold on that sounds wrong as if I gave birth to her. No stupid Emi come back here for your child. Be responsible for taking your lover’s child away.” (Theresa) (screaming it and getting weird looks from those in hallways going to class)
Akari laughed in Theresa’s arms but she was gloomy as she couldn’t see Emiko’s figure anywhere. This was an unfair way of doing things, she asked for news and supposedly slipped the baby in once she saw Theresa was done eating her breakfast. She stomped her feet but groaned, it was because she had open 1st period that she was eating breakfast now. Yet she was caught by Emiko unexpectedly when eating.
“The former goddess of wisdom is demon. Even the baby knows that, don’t you little one.” (Theresa)
At the back of the school Seiko cringed at those words screamed earlier because it was badmouthing one goddess whom of which can easily hunt them down if she heard. She flinched unknowing when she knew who was screaming curse words so loudly behind Emiko who had somehow left campus. Ah, campus life is going to be utter chaos since Artemis now joined in. In fact she pities Artemis for joining them. When she first saw Artemis she was shocked yo see her holding a baby at the school gates. But the scene of her asking Emiko to help was priceless even though she was quite far away as a former goddess her hearing was fine. Plus the current her was a vampire not a goddess. Theresa was a soul weapon that was born from her family.
Soul weapons had 5 types: sacred weapons, holy weapons, cursed weapons, bound weapons, normal weapons. Normal weapons were weaker. Cursed weapons possessed their own will and will drive their owner insane sometimes by possessing them. Bound weapons were tied to you for life until you released them, these come back automatically to you if lost, they reappear in front of you. Holy weapons can kill gods and goddesses. Sacred weapons are considered god class weapons and long lost artifacts throughout time. Normal soul weapons were stronger than the average human weapons but they weren't much use to different races.
Most Soul weapons weapons with a human form that had memories of their past but don't remember their names. Just bits and pieces of their memories. These soul weapons were dead souls that the smiths found wondering around and couldn't move on so they used them to bind to a weapon that they then created to go along with these souls. These souls have a human and weapon form. Often time you see people using them in human form to fight for them. But rarely are they born as a soul weapon like Theresa’s family.
Well in Theresa’s case she’s born as one this life but her family has the privilege of picking their master.
“Theresa whom will you choose now that we are at this stage. You’re no longer the same nor are we. You no longer played around as much. Athena’s more relaxed now. I’m no longer that same Hera. Yet you’ve two out stripped me while I went away to the gods council meeting. How long has it been since then. But then again it’s Artemis’s fault for not reading Athena’s titles she has on her. Well guessing her she’d probably read it too late after Athena left the room.” (Her way of saying it’s on the status screen read it when you meet the damn person instead of being clueless)
‘Though I’m sure of one thing Athena is always herself instead of in her demon form so I wonder if Artemis ever found out.’
“Seiko what do you have to say for yourself.” (Vice principal)
“I have to say burning your wig was the best thing I did in my current life. It was hilarious when you walked into the classroom bald.” (Seiko)
“You did not reflect at all on your actions.”
“Um nope. I apologize for catching your wife with your best friend and putting the movie instead of the orientation for the seniors going to college. Also the picture I accidentally left on miss principal Fion. Yes I left a picture of your doctor and daughter together so what of it.”
“You dare mention that incident and are you blackmailing me.”
“And announcements should be in 3, 2, and 1.” (Giggles)
“Pier get in my office now.” (Fion)
“Yes the idiotic guys last name does mean harbor as for why i have no clue.” (Seiko)
“Seiko that was a new low even for you.” (Theresa)
“Of course. Who dares threaten me like that will met his retribution by my fan club.”
“It’s scary what those nerds of yours are scary. Which reminds me the delinquents all sided with Aina and the 80% of the school side with Emiko. The foodies side with Lora. And the other 20% is Rina. Which is scary as Rina just transferred in few days ago.”
“Hah? Why side with her I’m doing this for their freedom from those strict teachers so restricted us to only campus life from now on.”
“That’s because we’re second years we now have to live in dorms until college year.”
“Yet you say so. Theresa why are you avoiding the topic of choosing your master.”
“I’m former goddess of love. This is like picking your partner you get married with for life and are stuck with him or her.”
“Disturbing considering your the one who took care of Ares after Athena’s daughter left him in that dumb state.”
“Did you mention something.”
Hearing her tone Seiko froze and did a nervous laugh as she looked away towards the student cafeteria instead. Inside the secret room Artemis cursed at Athena for using something this lowly against her to make her yield. But just before she left the room Artemis had looked at her status and it’s titles. One of them was lady killer and the other is knight princess. Yes both of which can only mean one thing Emiko Athena’s reincarnation was seriously flirting with her earlier. Seeing Athena change so much in 2,000 years it was hard to believe that her 16 year old reincarnation would be like this.
“Sister you will pay for this humiliation. Even if your my former sister this is a new low even for such a warrior like you.”
If Emiko was there she’d counter by saying but we’re no longer sisters and sure it’s my soul inside here but we’re not blood related so it should be fine. I have 389 girlfriends here at school your going to have to defend against them and a few hundreds (estimate guess of hers) spies that infiltrate daily. Actually if she did say this to Artemis, Artemis would cry abuse. She maybe a goddess of hunt but not an Assassin. It’s actually because the forced situation with all the spies that annoyed all three of the reincarnated goddesses so they had no choice but to leave all the plans up to Athena to get Artemis to help them. Her breath was heavy but she couldn’t move because the frozen spell that Athena casted on her.
“Oh look a note in the baby’s clothes and it’s written by Emiko.” (Seiko)
“What does it say.”
“I used your personal potions you got from (2 of which she used before she left the room) Lilith (the mother of all monsters) and your label that says X potion do not consume.”
Theresa nearly choked on the drink in her hand as Seiko was now holding the baby. But that potion was a hazard that even she didn’t use. It was a experiment but a accident drop caused one of Athena’s priestess to go insane. It fuels anger and kept her mind on edge of her humanity. Having Artemis consume a whole potion was crazy.
“Please tell me she didn’t make Artemis consume it all. She’d kill us after getting free if that’s so.”
“The note doesn’t say.”
“There’s no damn cure for that potion........well at least none I know of. Unless we ask Apollo and Hades descendants for help. It’s called the potion of madness which brings its victim to the edge of insanity.”
“From the looks of things that potion sounds unpleasant.”
“It was.... the priestess who accidentally had a drop destroyed lots of empire at the end of it.”
Hearing this Seiko frowned. But Aphrodite forgot that she had two potions at the side next to Lilith’s potions that Athena used. Now that they talked up to here her eyes widen as if horrified at a sudden revelation she remembered.
“Athena use to come organize my shelves daily and so she knows which potions are which. But there were also two other potions next to their I might’ve forgotten the effect by now but her being the former goddess of wisdom means she might’ve remembered those two. They were also labeled with a x but they were color coordinated.”
Seiko gave Theresa a look of your kidding me right you have dangerous potions in there from Iris and Apollo all the time back then. Which you no longer remember their effects now. Why did they put you in charge of potion storage then.
“Don’t give me that look. Go and find Hades descendant and get back here ASAP she might be able to help us. And do take the girl Rina with you she’s blessed by a lot of gods she might help more than you think. Drugging Artemis with the first 2 makes her super sensitive to touch. Which should wear off in 3 months. What we have to worry about now is the third potion and we need a person to detox it or knows which one it is. For that the other person has to be from Hades descendants since they call also tell which poison is which.”
“Can’t we just get Hades for this too.”
“Your asking me to talk to the romantic black haired handsome god who’s in depression since his wife’s death. He also isn’t looking for her reincarnation because he knows she’ll have her own life in the present. Like us living our own current life to find happiness.”
“Right yet we know he hasn’t reincarnated yet.”
“His soul is lingering at the gods graveyard.”
Seiko frowned when she heard that place. It was suicide to even go there when they goddesses. Yet hades himself went inside after the war ended. He abdicated his throne to his son and left for the gods graveyard. A place where time and memories were the most imbalance but was also the most dangerous place for them and other races.
“Delivering yourself in like that is just crazy.”
“Look take the girl with you and go while I’ll hold down the fort here with the spies while the two of you are gone.”
“My dear half sister Theresa does your father not say that using someone as a tool is a bad thing.”
“Well we need help at the moment take the blessed child with you and look for Hades descendants.”
Actually Theresa sighed when Seiko left. Her mother’s lover was Seiko’s father despite their family being at odds with each other. All her family were also soul weapons like her. But she’s knew Emiko too well she had changed in this life. Her distrust towards men was extreme all due to an kidnapping incident.
“Artemis I hope you are the one that can help her. She may act playful but Emi is more sensitive then she lets on.”
In the another place Ling Yue frowned as Olivia sniffed the air with an annoyed face. They had been past the forest that was surrounding the ruins already. They had landed here after Olivia changed back into her human form. But they both frowned when the scent lead them to the royal tomb. Which was a network of cavern tunnels with statues or bones of ancestors. The thing about the Phoenix race that Ling Yue never understood is why they always had two royal family in only one era and in another era another two would pop out. She couldn’t help but frown when she saw the entrance which looked untouched by anyone.
“Mistress my nose isn’t mistake it’s here. But what are you frowning about.”
“Nothing. I don’t get why they have these tombs for those killed. Those that died during their old age turns into silver glitter like ashes that spreads with the wind when the Phoenixes dies. But those that get killed in action don’t.”
“Why are you bringing that up.”
“Aren’t we intruding into their tombs.”
“It’s not like we have a choice Arisa got kidnapped by her crazy sister.”
“Yes which led to the most creepiest place on this floating island.”
Her eyes went to the statue of the 1st Phoenix queen Jasmine. Her era was when the gods had that war. Yet what left Ling Yue uneasy was the fact that they never found her body during her reign after she tried to stop the war. When they the gods asked Kana what happened to her. She answered I don’t know but it’s a fact that she didn’t die.
The robed queen holding a staff outwards as if casting a spell made Ling Yue uneasy. There was also that ruby like diamond in her eye sockets. She couldn’t help but shiver since they had passed this statue twice.
“Hey what’s wrong.”
“We’re inside an enchantment one similar to the fox demon’s.”
Olivia frowned as she glared at the statue that Ling Yue was staring at. But what shocked her was the ruby eyes were glowing. Seeing this Ling Yue frowned when she looked at the thing in front of her. This statue was part of the place too yet the spell cased on it was unnatural. It’s not the thing causing this enchantment though.
“Ling Yue is it the eyes.”
“No. But even if you did it wouldn’t get us out of it.”
“Which part doesn’t it look enchanted.”
“How about the part where it has a protect spell that makes sure this place doesn’t cave in on us if we tried to explode the place.”
“Okay then don’t blow it up but how about the statue since there’s nothing her but coffins inside the walls.”
Ling Yue frowned since she knew the statue was impossible to break and the enchantment was in the same area but on a smaller item.
“Olivia check the coffins.” (Ling Yue)
“Why me.”
“Because if I did then who would dispel if there’s a trap next to the small item that’s enchanted.”
“Oh right you know how to dispel curses, spells, arrays and traps.”
Instead she walked to the coffin behind the statue. But just as she was about to put her hand in the two of them heard a click. Then instead they were almost hit with spikes from the ceiling.
“Seriously those old traps you’d see in the forest.”
“You knew didn’t you.”
“Meh.... your a dragon you should’ve used your senses more to listen to it.”
“But you knew about it.”
“It’s just a harmless one that won’t hurt you as you are a dragon.”
But Ling Yue froze in shock when she saw the silvered haired beauty with a cold look in her red eyes staring back at her.
“Yue what are you doing here.”
“Isana, why are you here.”
“Paying respects to an old friend’s grave.” (Isana)
She was stunned by the ice queen’s words as for if she knew someone from her Ling Yue was clueless who it might be. But looking at Isana’s melancholy look as she broke the enchantment. It told her that Isana was going to tell them the story anyway. Actually this beautiful lady reminded her of the snow lotus which grew in the snow. Though it would only mature after 1,000 years but would live up to 10,000 years old.

8 490The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two.
