The Seventh Son Chapter 8
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
The Seventh Son Chapter 9
King Jerald stood in his garden, which had once been filled with roses and lilies but was now home to the tombstones of all his dead sons. The tombstones stretched miles away, and engraved on each of them were the names of all their sons. At first, he was memorizing his son's names, but as the years went on, he began forgetting until they finally decided to use the same names. The firstborn was always to be called Nephius, the second Marcus, the third Daniel, the fourth Lotas, the fifth Miguel, and the sixth Barrick, so as not to forget their names.Rachel always kept to her room and tried every method of suicide she could think of. Sometimes she could go an entire year without eating, but somehow she could feel full. She had tried doing the most despicable thing of suffocating the babies, drowning them, or throwing them down the castle, but on each occasion, the babies came back to life.The curse took a toll on her and she was always crying. They tried going into the forest to ask

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

"You are the firstborn, you go and check," Lotus yelled out while holding Marcus."You are the one that has got the mouth; go and talk to it." Nephius replied, "Barrick, what exactly did the snake woman tell you?"Barrick shivered and ignored his brother's query, despite being as cold as a stone and sweating like he was running a marathon. The Naga had appeared before Barrick, the youngest, and handed him Omen, her son. While putting him in his hands, she said, "Take him; he is your young brother; Omen is his name." She said, "He'll save you all," and then vanished. Barrick was handed a baby in the shape of a white lion with wings. He threw it to the ground and ran screaming at the top of his lungs. In order to protect themselves, they locked themselves in their parents' chambers.His brothers thought it was a joke when he came running, but they all took off when they saw the Pixiu running after him in excitement. It thought they were playing a game and kept chasing the brothers unti

"Do not just stand there, get us into the castle," King Jerald yelled out."How did you do that?" Miguel asked Barrick, who was as shocked as everyone. However, there was no time for questions. They lifted King Jerald, rushed him into the castle, and shut the door behind them.Barrick felt weakness within his knee and knelt. All of a sudden, his chest opened and the Pixiu came out and jumped on King Jerald's lap."What the fuck?" They all yelled"Bad manners, Angel! Do not ever do that," Barrick yelled.""What! How! You named it! " Lotus asked."He is our guardian angel. Omen does not fit him," Barrick replied.King Jerald ordered Nephius to take him into the dungeon and asked everyone to leave him alone with the creature.They all came back speechless but with a lot of questions in their heads. "Mother, where did Father get that creature?" "Where have you all been these nine months?" Nephius asked.Rachel asked her sons to take seats, and she narrated everything to them. They were a

King Jerald was taken into his chambers and placed on the bed comfortably and tucked in. "Father, are you dying?" Lotus asked."How come you always ask the dumbest questions?" Nephius countered."Yes, I'm dying, Nephius, your brother is right," King Jerald replied.The room became quiet. The celebratory smiles were wiped off all their faces. "Come here all of you," King Jerald urged."But father, you can't die, not when we are winning this battle," Nephius said with tears running down his cheeks."Yes, we should ask that thing down in the dungeon to give you life. If it can defeat Clarris, it can do anything," Lotus added."Nothing comes for free in this life, my sons. Your mother and I have lived for centuries to understand that," he stated while looking at Rachel, who was standing near the window."But Dad, you are cursed. How is it possible that you can die?" A very confused Barrick asked?"Everyone take a seat." The sixth brother moved forward with teary eyes and sat on the bed.

Clarris walked away frustrated, she had made a promise all those centuries ago and was not planning to go back on her words. There was definitely another way to kill that Nemo. She went into her chambers and paced the room, her mind was going nuts. She might have no heart pumping in her but she had honor.A knock came on her door but she declined to respond. She was in no mood for company. After realizing that she was not going to open the door, Darrell showed himself in further infuriating her.“Get out now!” Clarris yelled at top of her voice.“You should stop Cleselda from sacrificing the Dark Knights”“I was thinking of a solution before you rudely interrupted me, now get out!” Clarris yelled out again.Darrell began walking out but stopped in his track, turned, and said “If any Dark knights are killed I will betray you”Clarris stopped pacing the room and faced him, “Did you just threaten me?”“Centuries ago I had no choice and I do not want to see other knights get their choices

Marcus tried running for help but was pulled back, “Stay right there or I will break your neck,” Clarris yelled out.“What do you want? Get out of my head.”“I want your eyes Marcus and the hate you have for that Nemo,” She hissed.Marcus swallowed hard “I do not know what you are talking about?”“I see it in your eyes, Marcus, you hate that thing sucking the life out of your father. What guarantee do you have that it will not kill you all after it is done with your father?”Marcus laughed, “From the stories, I have heard I thought you were the smartest woman on earth but I'm disappointed. Whether the Nemo is alive or not, we are all still doomed.”Clarris was quiet, she wasn't expecting Marcus to be this smart.“Nevertheless, your life for the Nemo's, I want to see it with your eyes. Go in the dungeon now,” she ordered.“You are really stupid, the Nemo will sense you,” Marcus reminded her.“It won't, as long as you keep your mouth shut, tell anyone and I will squeeze the life out of

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
