The Seventh Son Chapter 13
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

“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
