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
She kept ordering Omen to take her back but to no avail, he was so adamant about the date and ignored her. They walked through the markets and got a couple of looks from the locals. She could tell that they were in a less civilized land and they were both overdressed.“Omen stop!” She yelled out and finally, he stopped and faced her. She could also tell he was frustrated.“Just stop this, you can't force me on a date and where exactly are we?”“Jespaer, south of Arthora,” Omen replied.“Why!” “We start a new life!” Omen replied.Clarris laughed out and now realized what was going on. It was obvious that Omen clashed with his family but what was frustrating was the fact that he was using her as a getaway. Omen turned and began walking away.“Hey come back here!” she yelled out. She was so pissed, that she tried teleporting herself back but that ability seemed to have disappeared too. She groaned out in frustration. She needed to go back, she knew Naga was not joking about making her a
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
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
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
