IN THE PASTThe mother and son kept going at each other until the Naga got tired. She realized that there was no way of getting through to her son. It was his first love and even though she hated Clarris, she had to compromise this time.“Fine you can have your fling with the useless woman but I'm coming with you to keep an eye on her, she breaks your heart I cut her into tiny pieces and put her in my soup,'' the Naga replied. Even though she was not joking and would definitely eat Clarris, Omen hugged his mother in excitement, “I love you mother,”“Get your hands off me, I'm still disappointed,” the Naga replied.But Omen ignored her and kept kissing her, “Thou are going to like Clarris,” he stated in excitement.“In your dreams, me allowing this rubbish does not mean I like the witch, let's go and get your brother,” she stated and snapped her fingers. IN THE FUTUREClarris sat on her bed combing her long silk-like blonde hair. It was centuries since she co

Marcus asked everyone to take their seats, but no one was interested. There were a lot of questions that needed answers. They all wanted to know what Darrell was doing in the castle and why the Naga was alive.“Mother the curse has been broken and it's all thanks to Darrell,” Marcus informed them.Lotus got out a knife and poked Nephius“You idiot!” Nephius cried out but to his surprise, a small puncture on his skin did not close up. He rubbed on it but it released more blood. Seeing this Miguel got a knife and cut himself, “shit that pains,” he yelled out “Stop cutting yourselves,” Rachel warned them with tears of joy. She couldn't believe that they were free, after centuries they were finally free “How is this possible? How did the curse get broken? This all seems so hard to believe,” she asked. Marcus asked them all to take seats and asked Lotus to explain. Lotus looked at him annoyed, he was also not in the mood to break the Clarris news to them. The room was quiet and Rachel cou

Clarris trekked through Deadman's forest on foot in her wedding dress, the ground was cold but she did not mind. She was aware the night catcher was following her. She had tried warning him a couple of times to go away but he kept following her.She knew he was there as a scavenger, waiting for her soul. He was so loyal to Omen and wouldn't hurt her but he knew Clarris wanted to die and he did not want to miss the opportunity of having her soul. She finally arrived at Cleselda's tomb, it looked different and so cold. With her tears she managed to open the cave and got inside. It looked all different. She walked to where the tomb box used to rest and yelled out in frustration, it was gone, there was no sign of it. “Where is Cleselda's tomb? Where is it?; What did you and that useless mother of yours do to it?” she yelled at the Night catcher. He stared at her and let out a wail, she knew he just called for his mother, it was the same wail he let out when she burnt him at the burning

Nephius clenched his fist and a bit of frost came out. Miguel gave him a stay calm look.’ They all felt insulted but they needed Omen if they were going to reberate their people from the emperor's rule. Without Omen all were just a couple of brothers with abilities while the emperor had thousands of Dark Nights. The game changed, it was all about the future now and not the past.“Remember let the Naga deal with Clarris,” Marcus whispered.“Where would you like to have your Picnic from?” Nephius asked with difficulty, surprising both Omen and Clarris. Even his other brothers were shocked. Among them Nephius was the most Arrogant and putting his pride aside In a short amount of time was surprising.“In the garden,” Clarris replied knowing very well it was the place where the graves of all the sons she had harvested lay. Even though everything was now burnt down.The brothers held on to their anger “But first Omen, you have an apology to make,” Nephius stated to which Clarris laughed an

They all looked at each other blankly, all this time they were more concerned with their mother's reaction and forgot about what their subjects would think. “So what is going to be of our brothers' graves,” Miguel asked.“It was just a toy grave brother, they were never physically buried in there,” Barrick replied.Nephius suggested that they worry about that later what was important to them was finding a solution to how they were going to free the descendants of Ergad. They all walked back into the castle and began strategizing.“Are we not supposed to crown you king first!? Lotus asked.“I want to be crowned in front of my people, Prince Lotus, not in front of my brothers,” Nephius replied.His brothers smiled, their entire lives they never associated themselves with the title of Prince but finally, they were going to be addressed by that title. It was still a victory to them even though the thought of their father not being around to witness it all hammered the back of their heads
