The Seventh Son

MY NAME IS OMEN

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 it's 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, it's Fluke came out at a speed of light, getting past everyone who screamed in fear but only grabbed Marcus and pulled him into the water.

“Omen! Let your brother go?” king Jerald ordered.

“Omen eat him alive, he is so stupid. He wanted to kill you. By the way you are beautiful,” Lotus shouted out.

The Nemo emerged it's head from the water and looked at Lotus weirdly.

“I did not say anything, it's him?” Lotus said while pointing at Nephius.

The Nemo stared at him for a minute then turned to Marcus who had his eyes closed and was waiting for the worst.

“Omen, look at me, please spare him…... he did not mean to,” king Jerald turned to Lotus and said, “would you please shut your mouth!”

“Angel spare him please, we have lots of meat, I will go to the kitchen and roast it for you,” Barrick intervened.

“Why wouldst thou assume that I eat human beings?” the Nemo spoke.

“Holy s**t did it just speak?” Lotus shouted out in excitement.

“Lotus shut up!” They all shouted in unison. They were all shocked but did not want to infuriate it further. 

“What did it say, is that English?” Daniel asked.

“It's old English,” Miguel replied, “it's asking why we are all assuming that it eats human beings.”

“He!” king Jerald replied.

Everyone in the room stared at King Jerald in confusion, “stop referring to him as ‘IT,’ he is male,” king Jerald replied.

“Sorry Angel, we did not mean that,” Barrick replied.

“'i the morrow thou clearly stated that I would begin eating thou all would I get won't eating raw meat,” Omen replied

They all looked at Miguel in confusion

“It or sorry….. he said in the morning you stated that he would start eating us all if we gave him raw meat,”

The Nemo looked at Miguel and said “Mine name is Angel yet Omen,"

“He said…..

“I heard him, his name is Omen not Angel,” Barrick replied annoyed

“Sorry for all this confusion but is Clarris dead,” Rachel finally spoke up.

The Nemo threw Marcus in corner and said, “I shall deal with thou later,”

He closed his eyes, opened them and they turned white. He pointed to the wall and chanted, “Eyes I see, ears I hark ‘its thau that I do lack see.” the wall opened a mirror into Clarris's Dark tower and they could all see inside her hive for the first time.

“Can she see us!” Rachel asked.

“She is too unsinwe'd to see us,” Omen replied.

“What?”

“He said, she is too weak to see us," Miguel replied.

King Jerald moved forward, and for the first time in centuries he had the upper hand over Clarris. Never in his life had he ever thought of such a day. He knelt down and dropped a tear.

In Dark tower, Cleselda helped Clarris lay on her bed as she cried in pain. Out of the blue, she laughed out loud. The pain was shocking to her. For centuries she had never felt how physical pain felt like, she had forgotten how it felt like to get hurt.

“I warned you Clarris, I warned you! that Nemo is too powerful. Only a blood Sacrifice will work..... will work. We need ten dark Knights from Arthora,” Cleselda yelled out.

Clarris only laughed, she was in denial. She never anticipated being beaten by a two day old creature.

“Clarris, did you hear me?" Cleselda yelled out again.

“Did you see it, my Venom was nothing to it, the Venom that with just one drop can render fifty grown elephants to death in a spot,” Clarris said while laughing.

“No one is sacrificing Dark knights!” Darrell intervened.

Cleselda moved away from Clarris and faced Darrell, “You have no say in anything,” she sniffed the air and moved away from him. She began sniffing around, “We've got a lot of eyes in here?” she revealed

Darrell stared at her confused

“Someone is watching usssss,” Cleselda hissed.

“Impossible!” Clarris exclaimed, “this tower is binded in impenetrable charms that I got from the depths of hell. Not even the devil can see into this castle."

“Quiet!” Cleselda hissed.

Clarris got up and cleared her mind. She was now able to concentrate and could feel the presence of the white eyes.

Back in Crystal castle, Omen smiled at the sight of her confused face.

“They are about to kill Dark knights from Arthora, we have to warn Emperor Macerlo,” Rachel Suggested.

“Arthora left us to die and rot. Why should we warn them?" Miguel asked.

“They want to remake the curse, yes," Rachel yelled out. “Centuries ago the knights that went after Clarris never returned except for Darrell. They want to make her stronger.”

“We can't let that happen?” King Jerald replied.

In Dark tower, Clarris sealed her wound and faced the exact spot Omen's eyes were looking through.

Omen waved his arm and said, “ Good day I be coming for thou,”

“No no no this can not be……. How……. You!” Clarris yelled on top of her voice.

Lotus moved forward and waved, “Clarris you really have a poor taste in decorations.”

This further infuriated her, she closed her eyes and with all her might she gathered her energy and roared at the wall, forcing the wall to erupt and Omen was thrown back in the water. He did not anticipate her recovering so quickly.

“Omen are you alright!” King Jerald asked in fear.

There was silence and no movement in the water. For a minute everyone feared for the worse. But then they saw movement and he came up.

Everyone sighed in relief.

“Don't you ever try that on Clarris, she is powerful. You are not yet her match,” the King cautioned him. He then turned, faced his wife and warned her never to ever ask Omen of such.

Rachel was surprised, “We all wanted to know if she was dead?”

“No no........

“Everyone leave except for Marcus, him and I hast a lot to talk about?" Omen cut in

“We can talk about this,” king Jerald interjected

“Leave," Omen requested in a calm voice.

“You heard the guy,” Lotus added.

“Gramercy, Lotus,” Omen replied

“I beg your pardon?”

“He said thank you," Miguel interpreted.

“It's fine guys, you can go, I'm ready to accept my fate,” Marcus replied.

King Jerald signalled his other sons and wife and they all left the dungeon for the two of them.
