“Omen omen, please wake up,” Marcus cried out but got no response. The heartbeat from the heart he was holding was also becoming weak. Everything was falling apart in front of their eyes.“Please elder do something,” Darrell begged him.The sorcerer knelt down and tried to close the wound but the blood kept coming out. He cast a spell in an effort to find out where the stabbing was coming from but he was blocked by something more powerful.“Get away from me!” Clarris yelled at the sorcerer. She snapped her fingers in an attempt to teleport back in time to the Naga and stop her but she kept teleporting back in the Tower, in different positions. She was now losing a lot of blood and energy. The Naga made sure to cast a spell that was preventing her from teleporting. She remembered the spell and finally realized what was going on and who was killing her. She couldn't believe that this was how she was going to die. She always imagined an epic battle to the death, she gritted her teeth an
They tried to resuscitate Clarris but got no response, they were now panicking. Darrell held his finger over her nose to feel if she was breathing but felt nothing. Princess Elsa knelt down and tried to check for a pulse but got nothing. “She is still warm,” she informed them.“The heart is disappearing,” Marcus shouted, forcing them all to look at his hands. Slowly the heart began fading in phases and finally disappeared. They looked back at Clarris and Omen, both were visible but it was the only time. Marcus only sat down in shock. “It's over, it's all over, we failed, I failed Omen."“No no we did not fail, how could he leave his fate in the hands of a century-old angry bitter witch,” Lotus stated and took a seat.“He left a head of her but I screwed up,” Marcus stated, “it is all my fault, I failed mother, Nephius, Daniel, Mi,guel, and Barrick, I failed them all,” Marcus kept beating himself.“Stop beating yours, we all tried, it was Clarris who failed Omen,” Darrell replied.“Bu
“He is recovering, Cleselda burnt him,” Omen replied.“I dealt with Cleselda and being your mother I have to deal with that other useless witch!” the Naga replied.“I love her mother,” Omen replied.The Naga realized that there was no way of getting through to her son, in split seconds she spat a sleeping spell on him but Omen saw it coming and whirlded it towards his brother who fell asleep within split seconds.This enraged the Naga and she grabbed him in an effort to get to Clarris but Omen pushed her and she fell to the ground in humiliation. Omen ran to her but she disappeared. She was so mad, she knew one on one Omen was more powerful than her and he could see every move she made. There was only one way of stopping his nonsense. She teleported to the day she gave birth to him, alone in the middle of the jungle. She was so tired when he came out of her on that day that she lost consciousness. She walked over to the crying little Omen and lifted him off herself, a tear dropped wh
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
In Ergad, Princess Elsa and Darrell looked on as Marcus and Lotus stared at the engulfing hellfire. There was nothing they could both do or say to make anything easier. Darrell got his immortal life back while the brothers got nothing out of the quest. They both maintained their distance and allowed the boys to mourn.Suddenly they heard flapping wings and looked up, it was Omen in Pixiu form, He landed and was met with a very angry Lotus who launched at him and whirlded fire straight at his face “You killed them all, you killed them because of that useless witch,” he yelled.Darrell was forced to tackle Lotus down, “let me go, I'm going to kill him, let me go! He put that useless Witch before our family.”Marcus quickly ran over and whilrded water on the Nemo“Wouldst thou forbear that!” the Nemo yelled and spit out some of the water that had entered its mouth.“I was only trying to quench the fire out,” Marcus stated in a sad tone. Omen ignored him and walked near the hellfire. “Wh
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
Rachel stood up and walked to her chambers quietly, she was out of words, the victory she thought they finally achieved came crumbling down and gave her a hard slap. She knew breaking the curse would not have been achieved without the Naga and Omen but she just couldn't even gather the courage to thank him, she was so mad and did not have the stomach to say anything nice to him.Princess Elsa and Darrell only stared at the floor and avoided eye contact with the family. The Princess knew that Nephius disliked Darrell because of the way he was holding on to her and not the relationship he had with Clarris. Nephius gave them a cold glance and followed his mother, followed by Daniel, Miguel, Lotus, and finally Marcus. Barrick stayed glued to where he was standing.The Naga couldn't believe the ungrateful family, she grabbed Omen and asked him to go with her. “They do not deserve you,” she stated while touching his sad face.“But Mother.”“I'm a Naga and I kill my mates, your father would
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
The crowning ceremony was finally over and King Nephius began his rule. A year passed and he married Princess Elsa's immediate sister, Princess Ingrid of Arthora kingdom. The two met at his crowning ceremony and immediately connected. Marcus and Daniel also married from the other five kingdoms in order to strengthen the Kingdom's relationship. The two ruled together with the king as his right hands. Marcus was soft and effective for tactical decisions while Daniel was brutal and effective for tough decisions.Darrell and Princess Elsa also got married in kingdom Ella and held a grand wedding. The Princess took over from her mother as Queen and ruled the Kingdom of Ella with Darrell by her side. After getting tired of being on king Nephius's throat every day, Lotus finally decided to explore the world. He first approached the Pixiu but it refused, there was no way it was going to leave its love nest. Then he approached the Nixie, he thought it was going to refuse but to his surprise,
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. Clary was the childhood nickname that Rachel gave to Clarris. When they were young they each gave each other nicknames. Clarris was Clary whi
“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
