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

Within a flash, Clarris, Darrell, and Cleselda disappeared. King Jerald and his family froze in fear and each could hear their own heart beating. They were all terrified and kept staring at the Nemo as it waved its spiked fluke. It noticed their eyes all over it and sensed their fear forcing it to go back underwater.“Omen!” King Jerald called out whilst crawling near the water. “My love, we have no idea if it can recognize us or not,” Rachel tried warning her husband but Jerald blocked her with his hand.“In how many forms is it? Is it a shapeshifter?” Nephius asked.“A Pixiu, Nixie, and Naga form a Nemo,” King Jerald replied.“Omen, come out! We are not going to hurt you,” King Jerald yelled out again. His wife and sons stared at him in shock, they couldn't believe what he had just said.“Father, it's us who are scared of it, not the other way around….” Daniel corrected.Instead of coming out of the water, its Fluke came out at a speed of light, getting past everyone who screamed
