“Aaaàaaaàaaaaa” “Aaaàaaaàaaaaa” Clarris kept screaming and tearing through the glass windows of her dark castle. Darrell felt his ears wet, he placed his fingers into his ears, removed them, and saw blood.

Cleselda yelled at Clarris to shut up. But Clarris turned and looked at her furiously, “you lied to me….. you lied to me!”

“Child, do not call me a liar, you disobeyed my orders, we need knights…” Cleselda reminded her.

“Shut up! I made a promise a long time ago,”

The witch moved over, “my child, promises are made to be broken. Plus the person you made that promise to is already dead, he died centuries ago.”

“No!” Clarris yelled out.

“Clarris, you saw what happened, if it wasn't for the fact that you have no heart you would be dead by now. That thing aimed for your heart, it meant to kill you!”

Clarris moved to her bed and sat down, “he saw my house without permission, he looked into my eyes without fear. I have read all the books about Nemos and water was their weakness but to h

    Omen sat below the flooded dungeon the entire day. His brothers had tried getting him to come up but to no avail. “Maybe he is dead,” Lotus pointed out. The other brothers gave him the crazy look. “He clearly just doesn't want to be bothered,” Barrick said in a sad voice.The dungeon door opened, Rachel and king Jerald walked in. Everyone could see that king Jerald was getting worse every day. A new day meant less time for him. He ordered all his sons and wife to leave the room.He crawled near the last stair and spoke, “Son I know you can hear me…” before he could finish his sentence, Omen came up excitedly.“ thou look ill,” he asked“Yes my son now stop sharing your energy with me, you have to reserve it for Clarris. Stop trying to serve me,” King Jerald pleaded.“Stepmother shall hate me,” Omen said in a sad voice.King Jerald looked at him surprised, “what do you mean by that, Rachel understands that I am doing this for your brothers and to end the curse,”“I read her thoughts a

    Clarris wore a pink silk dress with pearls and diamonds laced on it. For centuries she had been putting on black only but today she decided to change color. Darrell couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. Clarris was beautiful but before the curse, she was the innocent simple type but now the fearlessness added to her beauty and she looked elegant.“Close that jaw before a bug enters it,” she said to Darrell, who kept staring at her.Darrell snapped out of it and looked away. Cleselda joined them but was not too pleased with asking for the knights from the emperor.“Are you honestly going to let this useless thing dictate your decisions,” Cleselda asked whilst pointing at Darrell?Darrell scoffed and looked away. “Why do you have the tendency to spoil a beautiful morning?” Clarris replied.“We are running out of time, every second that thing in Ergad is becoming stronger,” Cleselda said.Clarris sighed, “first of all the Nemo is still holding on to King Jerald, that's his weakne

    A shivering General Bentrek drew his sword and pointed it at Clarris, “over my dead body am I going to allow you to reach my emperor.” “You asked for it,” Clarris said and drew her hands but was stopped by the presence of a furious Emperor Marcelo.“You just broke your own words by stepping into this land,” the emperor stated.General Bentrek quickly ran to the emperor's side “my lord what are you doing outside, go back inside with the others?”The emperor looked around and was disgusted at the sight of all his men snoring. It was embarrassing, to say the least. “What do you want, Clarris?”“Is this how you welcome your aunt, have some manners, we come in peace,” Clarris replied.“In peace??? You have my men on the ground!” The emperor rolled. Emperor Marcelo was a very heavy fire whirled and had a huge beard that added fearlessness to him. He was feared by most of his subjects and even though he was standing in front of Clarris, he maintained his fearlessness.Clarris moved forward

    The brothers finally managed to relocate Omen into the main dungeon. They were tired and hungry. They had been digging the whole day.“You know it's funny that he can beat up Clarris but can't dig his own pool," a very tired Daniel stated.“Whom quoth I't dig a tunnel,” Omen replied while splashing water on Daniel. Daniel closed his eyes “please do not tell me he said he is capable of digging?”“I think so,” Miguel replied.Omen swam into the corner, raised his hands, and the pond his brothers had been digging the entire Afternoon began sinking down into a narrow pit.He raised his hands and whirded water into it and began swimming in it. His brother's jaws hung in shock. “Why on Earth would he make us dig when he was capable,” Barrick cried out.“No no why was he making me whilrd water all this time when he can,” a very annoyed Marcus asked.“He is a bloody bully just like king Jerald's firstborn son,” Lotus repliedNephius eyed Lotus but was too tired to give a response.Omen kept

    It was almost dark and Cleselda had made all the preparations. She had drained all the Knight's blood and ordered Clarris to take off her clothes and enter the pool of blood as she began chanting.The plan was to teleport back in time to the day the night catcher harvested from the curse and Instead of Killing it they were going to kill the Naga before it met King Jerald.Previously they would have teleported back without even lifting a hair but somehow the Naga had managed to lock those points in time. It was like she never even existed.Cleselda began chanting, “Nnwe, Nmwe, Nimwe Nimwe,” and a portal began opening.In Ergad, Rachel could feel life running out of Omen. King Jerald quickly knelt to where Rachel was seated and began pleading, “Please Omen you can not doom us, let me go please son, you promised your mother that you would let me go…. Clarris is coming for your brothers,” he cried.In the other part of the castle, Princess Elsa noticed that it was now dark and she was now

    Clarris stared at Darrell with fury but she had no time. She knew the barrier was down in Ergad. And the Nemo would soon find its way out of hell, she quickly teleported into Ergad. In Ergad they could all hear her hissing through the passages. Rachel ordered her sons to barricade the door but Clarris shuttered it into pieces with just her simple touch.Princess Elsa moved in front and ordered everyone to stay behind her. She then screamed on top of her voice, “Leave them alone, haven't you caused them so much pain!”“What are you doing here you useless pest… … Does your father know that you are here?” Clarris asked.“You will have to pass through me in order to get to them,” Princess Elsa yelled out. But before Clarris could reply, Rachel screamed out, “ooh my god….. no...no...no... he is turning into ash.”They all looked over and king Jerald was slowly turning into ash just like the Naga. Clarris moved forward and pushed Princess Elsa aside. “no no no, you can't die, you are supp

    Omen kept brushing Clarris's hair until it was neatly tucked in behind. She was now tired of screaming at him and only closed her eyes as her tears dropped.He looked at her from an angle then spat in her hair and did her edges. Clarris opened her eyes in shock and her tears finally stopped dropping. “What is wrong with you? Are you normal?" She asked. But Omen ignored her. He finally stopped and sat next to her which further infuriated her. She had no idea what he was planning or thinking.In Ergad, Rachel stood by the window with swollen eyes, she had spent the entire night crying. Her beloved king Jerald was no more and everything seemed all wrong. Nephius walked in, “Mother, Omen is not yet back,”“What? Do you think Clarris defeated him,”“Hope not because I tried cutting myself last night and the wound healed in seconds.” “What? You are supposed to be free of the curse, your father is dead. How is this possible?””Maybe it will take some days but Lotus and Marcus are still

    Clarriss closed her eyes like she was thinking, she felt a headache coming on. Omen was really driving her crazy and she knew he was enjoying this.“You have six brothers and a stupid stepmother, ask them to teach you English for god sake!” she yelled.“I do lack thou,”Clarriss stared at him weirdly“I want…. You,” Omen said out passionately.“You teach Omen, Omen grants Clarris wish,” he added.“Clarris laughed, and what do you think my wish is?”“Death,” Omen replied.Clarris breathed in, closed her eyes, and asked, “and if I refuse?”“Thou shall live with me down here for eternity, just like thou cursed mine father,” Omen replied.Clarris swallowed hard, was this her fate? Was this her punishment? Why was she the unluckiest girl in the universe?“Listen to me carefully, I will kill you, any chance I get…. I advise you to do the same!” she yelled out.Omen's lips twitched in a smile, he knew keeping her alive was going against his father's wishes but he was curious about her. He mo

    Clarris looked at Omen disappointed, even though he once informed her that she needed to apologize to the people, Clarris was always coming up with excuses. She really wanted to apologize but was scared of being cast out by the people. She never left her tower and was always attending to her flowers. But in the morning Omen pleaded with her to accompany him to the crowning ceremony. At first, she refused but Omen assured her that Rachel was not going to attend and convinced her that it was a good opportunity to ask for an apology because everyone was in the celebratory moodBut when she got off Omen's back the first person she saw was Rachel, she looked at the other brothers and could see the unwelcoming look, she turned and was about to fly off when Rachel called out her name.She stopped Midway“Clary,” Rachel called out on top of her voice.

    “What's going on?” Nephius asked.“We came for thy crowning,'' Pixiu replied, sending the crowd into murmuring. They could not believe that it could talk.“Do not tell me that we were not invited?” the Nixie spat out.“You are invited of course, but can you all please shapeshift into human form. You are scaring the people,” Nephius pleaded while looking at the Naga Omen.“Come make us,” it repliedOut of nowhere, a small boy ran towards the Pixiu and asked for a ride. His terrified mother came running and t1ried to lift him but the Pixiu moved forward and placed its feather on the ground for the boy to climb up. The boy was so excited and climbed up. More children came forward and he was able to put a lot of them on his back and flew off exciting the children.“Do not even think about that with me! The Naga Omen stated.“No one would want to climb on a snake, '' the Nixie teased, sending everyone into laughter.“I want to swim with you,” one of the women asked the Nixie.The Nixie eye

    Nixie Omen left the room and joined the night catcher. Their mother appeared with a smile on her face. “Someone looks happy,” Nixie Omen teased.Immediately she heard modern English and her smile was wiped out. She asked where the Naga Omen was and before Nixie Omen could finish explaining everything.She yelled in frustration forcing both the night catcher and Nixie Omen to cover their ears. She spent the whole day making Clarris's tomb but finding out that Omen separated his entity only met one thing. She tried teleporting but she was blocked and pushed back.After failing to penetrate the spell she ordered Nixie Omen, but he disappeared and did not want to be involved in the family drama. The Naga yelled and went banging on the door. “Clarris I have made you your tomb,” she kept yelling but she got no response.Inside the room, Clarris could hear the Naga screaming but she ignored her. “Maybe back then if I had seen who your father was the curse could not have happened,” she joked

    The all-ride Clarris was quiet and only replied with a yes or no. Even though Omen did not like her attitude he played along.They landed on Dark Tower and found the Night Catcher. Clarris rolled her eyes and passed him, went straight to her room, and locked the room behind her. Omen asked the Night Catcher to ignore her. He knew it was waiting for her soul but also knew that it wouldn't take it forcefully. “On our wedding, thou be mine best man,” he stated. The night catcher eyed him confused and asked him to clarify if he had heard him correctly. Omen only smiled and teleported into Clarris's room.“Are you Stupid, get out of my room,” she yelled at him but Omen threw himself on the bed and joked about the fact that she had a bed? A very irritated Clarris walked over to the bed and ordered him to get up but Omen pretended to be asleep. She got a pillow and hit him hard but got no reaction. “Omen get up, you are not sleeping in here,” she kept yelling and hitting him.In a swift,

    Nephius walked into his mother's chambers and informed her of his plans. She lay on her bed uninterested in whatever he was saying. She kept her face to the war and avoided facing him. He tried pleading with her but she was not budging. And requested him to run his kingdom the way he wanted to. Nephius looked down the floor sadly, he did not have an idea with who to be disappointed with. There was no way he was going to rule without his mother's help or blessings. And on the other hand, he needed Omen. He was stuck, his rule was turning out to be a nightmare before it even started. In Arthora, emperor Marcelo sat in his chambers pissed. The sorcerer he sent after the Princess returned and updated him on Everything. He ordered him to get ten thousand of his men ready. It was war, he was hundred percent sure the sons were coming for him.“I will take at least one of them to hell with me,” he roared out. The sorcerer tried to reason with him but his stubbornness wouldn't allow the so

    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

    Rachel spit on the ground and looked at Clarris with disdain, then turned and looked at Nephius. “Your first rule has a king and you choose to dine with the snake that cursed you!” Nephius only looked down in shame. But his other brothers were right, he needed Omen and Clarris had the Naga to worry about more than them. Marcus walked over to where Rachel was standing and reminded her of the day she defended him when he had betrayed his brothers not once but twice.“Mother, remember when everyone wanted me punished or should I say dead? You said Omen kept me alive because he was in need of me?” “What has that got to do with this snake!” Rachel asked“We need Omen, Omen likes the snake so we will let him play with it until he gets tired or she hurts him and the Naga kills her?” Lotus replied. Clarris couldn't believe what she was hearing, she clenched her teeth and was about to say something but Omen held her hand.Rachel looked at them with spite, turned, and walked back into the cas

    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
