Chapter 2️⃣

Continuation from the Last Episode:

“B-but I am not lying, you gave me the apple.” Willow said and repeated her exact words. “Tell them the truth, why are you lying against me Leona?”

“Willow, where did you get the apple from?” King Henry demanded.

“Father, it was Leona who gave me the apple, you should ask her where she got it from and not me.”

“Stop lying against me and tell them the truth.” Leona said and started crying.

“Willow, tell me the truth, are you the one who had given Jay the apple?” King Henry demanded.

“No father, he took it from my hand and ate it before leaving my room.” Willow replied. “Leona had given me the apple, she said it was a gift for me.”

“You are lying.” Leona retorted.

“I am not.”

“Willow I know you are lying.” King Harry said to the shock of Willow, his sister’s and mother. “Leona might be telling the truth, probably you had given Jay the apple to eat out of jealousy since he is a full dragon.”

“I did not father you have to believe me.” Willow said, greatly alarmed. Death penalty awaits anyone who has taken the life of a living soul, it is their rules. He faces his mother in great fear. “Mother, you believe me right?”

“Yes I do my dear.” Lucia said and faced her husband. “Henry, how can you say Willow killed his own brother?”

“Anything is possible Lucia.”

“Willow did not kill Jay, just because he is not a full dragon like his siblings doesn’t mean he is lying. If the reverse was the case, you would have believed Jay immediately. Just because he hasn’t shifted yet to any Dragon doesn’t mean he is jealous of his older brother.”

“I don’t have time for you woman.” King Henry said angrily. And pointed at his two Dragon messagers. “Go and call me Oracle immediately.” He commanded.

The two messengers quickly left the throne room to do as instructed.

Facing Willow. “For your mother sake, I hope you’re telling the truth.” He said and started pacing around Jay’s dead body.

Five minutes later, the two messengers returned with a Lady dressed in a long black dress that flows in the air. She has long dark hair and eyes. She was holding a staff made with water and at the top of the staff was a white eagle statue.

“You sent for me my King.”

“Yes Oracle, my son, Jay, is dead.” King Henry said and pointed at Jay’s lifeless body. “Can you do something about it?”

Walking over to where Jay lay, she walked around him in a circle before stopping to face the King, “There is nothing I can do for him my King, he is dead for real.” Oracle announced. “What could kill a Dragon?”

“This.” King Henry answered pointing at the rotten golden apple. “He was eating the apple when he started choking and fell down, before they would bring him here, he was gone. The apple was looking fresh before, but now it is rotten.”

“Who had given him the apple?” Oracle asked.

“Willow gave him the apple and he said Leona gave it to him. I don’t know who is saying the truth.” King Henry replied.

Facing Willow, Oracle stretches forth her right hand to him, “Place your hands on my child.” She said and Willow quickly went over to meet her and did that. She closed her eyes and a third eye opened on her forehead and the eagle statue eyes became white. She removed her hands from him and returned her gaze to King Henry. “Willow was speaking the truth, Leona gave him.”

Willow, who didn’t even know he was holding his breath, breathed out a sigh of relief. And went into his mother’s open arms. His two sisters smiled in relief.

That was all the King needed to hear.

“Hang that child to her death. Used the Dragon claws on her, for death shall beget death.” King Henry ordered.

“You could have just said the truth Leona, nothing is hidden under the Sun for long.” Willow said with a sad sigh.

“Take her away.” King Henry ordered. Two guards came forward and grabbed Leona’s hands.

“Please, leave me alone, I didn’t do anything. They are lying. The Oracle lied, please.” Leona pleaded as they started dragging her out of the throne room. She returned her gaze to Willow then to King Henry and finally to Willow and spoke. “I curse you today Willow, you shall have a great thirst for blood and no one can quench it. You will carve for blood but no blood will satisfy you.” She returned her gaze to King Henry as the guards closed the large Oak door behind them as they left the throne room with Leona but her voice was still heard loud and clear. “And you Henry, for wanting to kill an innocent child, your whole family shall be the first he will start from. It is my curse to your household.”

_____

The guards hanged Leona to death. They didn’t see a dark shadow leaving the lifeless young body.

_____

“She is dead, my King.” One of the two guards told King Henry when they returned.

“Good, take my son, Jay and bury him before he starts decaying. His death shall soon be announced.” King Henry ordered.

“Yes my King.” They both said at the same time and carried the dead crown Prince with care. Some guards followed them out of the throne room.

“I shall take my leave now your Highness.” Oracle said and was out of the throne room.

“You all should leave, let me mourn Jay alone.” King Henry told his family and Lucia with her daughters and Willow was out of the throne room.

_____

Unknown Cave:

“I said the curse as you instructed, mistress.” The shadow on the cave wall said with a male voice as he appeared. “And the young child has been put to death.”

“You casted the curse on the wrong Prince.” The ugly looking lady told the shadow.

“But you said I should say the curse to the dragon Prince standing once I have seen the dead one Mistress.”

“Yes but the dead one isn’t who I want to use. I needed Willow to eat the apple because of the both genes he carried but his brother did.” She told the shadow.

“So what are we going to do, Mistress? Are we still carrying out our plan?”

“Yes, I just have to wait until the curse manifests.”

******

None of the Royal household took the Curse Leona had said seriously until the next night when it happened.

Young Willow who was in his room, seated and drawing, suddenly has this sudden bloodthirst to kill. His green eye and amber eye glow as his fingers start turning and grow into long claws.

His painting forgotten, he stood up and left his room. By the time he had reached the door of his chamber, he was walking on four large, hairy fur legs.

His large black wolf broke down the door and came out of the room he was. The wolf roared loudly shaking the foundation of the whole palace and fire came out of his mouth, eyes and tail. He ran towards his parents Chambers, the urge to kill them was overwhelming.

The dragon guards that came out when the wolf had roared couldn’t take down the extremely large wolf.

The danger bell rang alerting the whole palace.

Reaching his parents chamber, one push on the door sent it flying across the room. His mother nor his father was there, he headed for the throne room.

The large Oak door broke into two interrupting the discussion of the Wolf King, Creek, and his daughter with her husband. King Creek was visiting his son-in-law kingdom after hearing the death of one of his grandchildren.

The Dragons and Wolves guards in the throne room prevented the Wolf from advancing.

“I told you, there is something wrong when we hear the bell.” King Henry said to his father-in-law. “What can a large Wolf be doing here?”

“Oh my goodness.” Queen Lucia said in shock not believing her eyes. “That is not just any Wolf Henry, that is our son Wolf, Willow.”

“Willow is just a twelve year old boy and his Wolf can’t be this large.” King Creek said in surprise.

“That is Willow’s father.” Queen Lucia said. “I know my son Wolf.”

The urge to taste their blood came to him once again, standing up to his hind legs, he roared and charged towards the guards who stood on his way between him and his parents.

Within fifteen seconds none of the guards were standing as one fling from the wolf made them lose their consciousness.

Facing the three people.

More Dragon warriors were seen rushing to challenge the wolf from behind him. Willow breathed fire and blocked the door, but then, the dragons were immune to fire.

He charged at his father who was still in shock at what was happening and could have succeeded in cutting his throat if not for the invention of Oracle.

She appeared in front of Henry, her third eye opened and a bright light emerged from it and entered into his two different colour eyes of Willow.

In the next few seconds the Wolf drops down to the floor, weak.

“What was that?” King Henry asked.

“Your son Willow, the curse of Leona is hovering around him.” Oracle answered.

“Willow? But I thought it was a mere talk of a child.” King Henry said as he remembered the words of Leona. “She is not a Witch, but a dragon.”

“She was used by someone to say out the curse, though I couldn’t see who it was clearly. The curse is made by a blood dark sorcery.” Oracle told King Henry.

“Blood sorcery? The old Sorceress who had practice the art of dark magic is dead, I killed her.”

“Don’t be so sure my King, anyway we must separate Willow from his Wolf. His Wolf has emerged with his dragon and has become one.” She said.

“What can we do to separate them?” King Creek demanded.

Oracle made a long big heavy chain to appear right in front of them all. It was hovering in the air. “We need all the blood of the whole supernatural King’s and Queen’s to be placed on it before it will be used to chain his DragonWolf. Let’s do that first before anything else.” Oracle said.

“That will be no problem, they all own me a favour.” King Henry said.

“Let me start first.” King Creek said and one of his fingers became a claw which he used in cutting his other hand and touched the chain with it. He removed it and saw the chain had absorbed his blood.

Oracle spoke some words into the chain to lessen it’s heaviness. “Take the chain with you to meet the King’s and Queen’s.”

Grabbing hold of the chain, King Henry left his throne room, changed into his green terrifying Dragon form and flew out of his kingdom, heading towards the direction of the Demon King and the Vampire King first.

_____

He returned in an hour and gave the chain to Oracle. The wolf was still weak.

“They all gave their blood willingly.” King Henry announced and turned his gaze to.his wife. “The Queen of Fairies and elves send their sympathies to you dear.”

Queen Lucia nodded her head, by now her two daughters, Lillian and Kate had joined them. Lucia directed her question to Oracle. “What’s next Oracle? Involving the gods?”

“Not yet, move the wolf to your deepest underground cave you have my King.” Oracle said.

King Henry instructed some of his guards to carry Willow out of the throne room to the cave beneath his palace.

____

Few minutes later…..

Chaining up the Wolf, his neck and legs. She used her light from her third eye to hold the lock of the chains, she then proceeded to separate Willow from the enlarged and fury Wolf.

If it wasn’t weak, the body of Oracle would have been headless by now.

Touching the forehead of the Wolf with her staff, she whispered some words and as soon as she withdrew her staff from the wolf forehead, the wolf body split into half and Willow body was seen.

Oracle was fast enough to remove Willow before the wolf body would patch up fastly.

Queen Lucia collected a sleeping Willow from Oracle.

“Let’s get out of here.” Oracle told them and once they were outside the cave, she used the light from her third eye to block the entrance.

The wolf begins to regain it’s lost strength once again. The wolf stood up and tried to break out of the chains but couldn’t. It tried to roared out fire but it quenched once it reached its throat. He roared again, more angrily than before, and the whole cave shook. The ground and the entire Dragon kingdom shook when it roared.

____

“Thank the gods the nightmare is over.” King Henry said once they were back into the palace.

“No, it is not over my King. You noticed how the kingdom shook when he gave out his last roared.” King Henry nodded his head and Oracle continued. “That chain can only withstand the strength of the DragonWolf for a thousand Years, after that, it will break free and return back into Willow’s body and this time around, kill everyone in the Dragon Kingdom and outside the kingdom.” Oracle added.

“So what are we going to do?” Queen Lucia asked.

“The gods revealed to me what to do and that was why I had come and prevented the Wolf from killing you my King. To prevent his massive killings in a thousand years to come, he needs to find someone.”

“Someone? How?”

“Leona was a female who had spoken the curse and only another female can stop the wolf. You have to find a girl who is pure of heart, if she can change the heart of your son.” She said pointing at the sleeping Willow in Lucia’s arms. “She will be able to change the heart of his DragonWolf.”

“I don’t understand you Oracle.” Queen Lucia said not getting the part where Oracle had said ‘if she can change the heart of your son’

“Once he is awake he won’t be as he was before. You can take the DragonWolf out of him but you can’t take him out of his DragonWolf, don’t forget the curse hovers around him.”

“How can we find the girl?” King Henry demanded.

“She is not from our Realm, but from the human Realm. You all have to go to the Realm and find the girl.” Oracle told them. “The curse is within your household so all of you must go to the human Realm.”

“My kingdom, who will look after my people?” King Henry said.

“You have a father-in-law Henry, I will look after your people and kingdom until your return.”

“Thank you father.” Queen Lucia said.

“Okay.” King Henry said. “When do we leave?” He asked Oracle.

“When I said the chain would withhold the DragonWolf strength for a thousand years, I was actually talking about the human thousand years. A day here is like a hundred years in the human Realm.”

“Then we should leave right away.” King Henry said.

“Yes my King, in the human Realm, you will start from scratch to survive.”

“No problem, as long as we find the girl, any hærdsh¡p will be okay for us.” Princess Lillian said and her sister, Kate supported her.

Oracle lifted up her staff and made a circle with it on the air and a portal which leads to the human Realm opened.

“But how can we know it’s her?” Queen Lucia asked.

“Willow will know.” Oracle answered.

And after the other, they entered the portal until it reached the Queen’s turn.

Oracle gave her a diamond. “Hit it on the floor once you are sure she has changed the heart of Willow. A portal will take you all back to this palace.”

Queen Lucia collected the diamond from Oracle and entered the portal which closes after her.

“Look after his kingdom King Creek.” Oracle said and disappeared.

“I will.” King Creek promised.

*****

At the graveyard where Jay was buried, the strange ugly looking lady appeared near his grave.

Saying an incantation Jay’s body was out of the surface. It was already smelling.

She bent down and touched Jay’s heart, which was beating slowly. The maggot which had fallen into the apple was to make anyone who had eaten the apple appear dead when they are not really dead.

Picking up Jay and placing him on one of her shoulders. “You are not Willow but you will do.”

She disappeared.
