Fiction: Group 4
“HAHAHAHAHA fools!” Ling’s voice changed to a deeper tone as if millions of creatures were
talking at the same time.
Then Ling’ face shifted and turned into another woman-like-creature wearing hollow eyes and
paler skin with four limbs growing from the back of her.
“I can’t believe my plan worked so well! I summoned you here from the future, attached with one
of my spying mist, so you can get near to this stupid Draconis “hero” and extract the secrets of opening this
door.” she continued, “all this time, stuck in this dungeon, luring armies in, eating the humans, increasing
my magic powers, and still I couldn't get through this damn door! But at last, the world is mine!”
She waved her hand and I was repulsed and went limp. Then she grabbed Jin and stained his blood
on the door.
This was it! I couldn’t s…stop her. Soon I would lose Jin, my wife and son who have been waiting
in the future. But shortly after my grief, I heard a screaming voice with anger from the evil, “Could anyone
tell me why this damn door still shut?”, then I saw Jin wrapping her tight with his last breath and said
“G…gosh I finally could catch you, the true is… it’s the 13
th
generation, not ME, can open this chamber,
but my blazing hot blood can weaken your power so that I can protect my great grandson to reach here.
You fool!”, then he shouted at me “GO…!”
The rod started to sparkle and boosted me with power. I casted my fishing rod against the
incoming ghouls and I fought through the army of ghouls, smashing down those whoever stepped in my
way, and destroying every single one of them. It didn’t take long to pulverize the intimidating army and
leaving the spirit facing towards me with shock.
“How dare you filthy fishman destroy my babies! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!” she shrieked
and summoned a dark smoke around her. Without a second of warning, the evil-face smoke shot towards
me. I sidestepped and crouched down, barely dodging the smoke.
The black-evil-face smoke turned and started to bombard me again. I ran towards her, leading the
smoke, and then immediately rolled to one side, “BAM” it was a direct hit! She screamed, but her
disintegrated body parts already started to reform.
Here came my chance! I grabbed my fishing rod, flung the hook at her, which acted like a snake,
the fishing line coiled around the body, which bound her from moving. She tried to struggle, but the fishing
line continued to tighten to the point she gave up. “Who the hell are you?” she asked, “Oh! I am just an
ordinary fishman. Now, BEGONE!” I replied and then the spirit dissolved into dust.
I ran towards the lifeless Jin.
“No, you can't die!” I shouted at him. But I knew it was useless.
Just when I was about to fall into despair, I cut my hand, and pouring the blood to the door. It
was flung open and in the middle sat a floating white pearl. It shot a beam of light that struck him. Slowly,
the wound in his chest recovered–Jin was back!
Slowly, I limped towards the pearl and felt a surge of unlimited power flowing into my veins.
So this was
The Pearl of the Dragon King
. “All I need to do is to bring it back to my family and
then our problem is solved.” I touched it and felt its icy surface; suddenly images started flashing into my
brain.
I saw myself had taken the pearl away from the dungeon and brought it home, healed my family,
but it vanished. Then I looked out of the window, I still saw the filthy, polluted sea with dead fishes and an
army of dark spirits rising from the sea.
I realized what the pearl wanted to show me. If I took the pearl away from the dungeon, millions
of evil spirits would be targeting the pearl and my family would be in danger. On the other hand, if it stayed
deep under the oceans, no evil spirits would be able to get near; hence all the pollution in the future would
be neutralized and my family would not suffer from the pollution.
I looked at the crumbled pile of dust from the ghouls and the dead-sprites. There would always be
other waves of spirits, or even humans, who would try to take the pearl, and one day, those bedrock doors
would eventually fall…
