The Seventh Son

Rachel kept pacing the room; it was pitch black outside, but her best friend was nowhere to be found. Her heart was heavy with remorse. She had no intention of falling in love with King Jerald or having an affair with him, but she couldn't stop herself from falling for him, and one night with him turned into years of sneaking around behind her best friend's back.When King Jerald entered, she dashed into his arms, asking, "Did they find her?" She inquired, her eyes welling up with tears."No, they searched the whole forest and came up empty-handed. But don't worry, I've sent them back," he said.Rachel exclaimed, "Oooh my God, we killed her." "No, sweetheart, we did not push her into the forest; it was her decision," Jerald said, holding her face in his big hands."Our actions forced her to flee into the Deadman's forest; our actions!" Rachel pushed him away."Why didn't she just insult us, scratch you, or start a catfight like other women do? Instead, she gave us a friendly smile, w

The Cave opened up and witch Cleselda began chanting, “nimwe!, nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! what do you want my child?”"nimwe! ninee! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe! nimwe!""I want Jerald and Rachel to cry for eternity. I want them to weep everlasting tears. I want to hit them where it hurts the most. I want blood," Clarris pleaded."Remember, Clarriss, there is no going back. I've seldom heard you ask about the sacrifice you're about to make or the consequences that will follow. You're not really interested in learning about your ancestors?""I don't care about the ramifications or my family history; all I want is to have King Jerald on my feet, and I want him to forever remember the day he laid eyes on me."Hearing these words, Cleselda smiled. Initially, she had doubted whether Clarris would take revenge on behalf of all the Cresent witches. But to her surprise, Clarris was ready to unleash her wrath without any questions. She was proud of herself.T

"Push! Push!" The midwife shouted out as Rachel screamed out in pain. It was only a matter of seconds until a baby came out. Deep down, she was waiting for the midwife to inform her that it was a girl. She was hoping to prove Clarris's curse wrong, but the midwife held the baby and congratulated her for delivering a bouncing baby boy. Rachel's heart sank in.King Jerald was nowhere to be seen. Even when Rachel was taken to her chambers to nurse the baby, he did not show his face near the baby.He locked himself in the library with the sorcerers, who were researching the crescent witches. Other lands still had witches, but many centuries ago the seven kingdoms came together and buried and sealed all witches in tombs to rest for eternity. The fate of the witches came after the Witches wreaked havoc across the lands. The council of elders from the seven kingdoms came up with the decision, and they each sent the most powerful sorcerers and cursed the witches to sleep for everlasting etern

They all came up empty-handed after days of turning the library upside down. They eventually accepted the fact that there was no way out of their curse. King Jerald had never been so depressed or tired in his life. He was on the verge of crying as he looked at his wife.Rachel broke the silence by saying, "If we don't get intimate, I won't be pregnant, and she won't have any six sons to collect."King Jerald raised his eyes to her."We can try, you can sleep with the servants to quench your thirst.""That's absurd!" King Jerald yelled out.Rachel walked to where he was seated and knelt, "My King, if we cannot find a supernatural way to deal with this curse, then let's try physically." "No!" King Jerald yelled out."I will not cheat on you with other women.""I was just making a suggestion—if we stay away from each other, she will not get her way," Rachel pointed out."What of Mark, Messan, and Maximus? She will come and get them. She will come and get our sons!""Maybe the sorcerers

Nephius rushed into his mother's room.“Mum, did you hear that?”“Your father is not yet home,” a worried Rachel replied.“We have to go out there, something has happened?” Her son requested“No no, your father is immortal, nothing is going to happen to him. He will be back,”“But what was that?”Her other sons came rushing too, “Did everyone hear that?” Daniel asked.“We all heard it, sounded like a woman crying, maybe it's Clarris and dad finally beat her ass up,” Lotus added.“We have to go out there?” “No!” Rachel insisted, “she might be trying to lure you out there, remember you are all over eighteen.”The boys kept quiet, what their mother was saying was making sense. Barrick got out a potion and started spraying it on his brother“What is this?” Daniel asked.“It's a protection potion, used to lure away love potions, that's if she comes to lure us seductively.”“Where did you get it?”“Potion market in Arthora,” Barrick replied.“You went to Arthora? Did you see some beautiful
