Unknown POV

The Oracle and most of the guards including the commander rushed into the throne room when they heard the loud scre-m.
When they arrived they saw the prince crying over his parent who are laying lifeless on the ground.
This came as a shock to them and they started looking around for the culprit but she’s nowhere to be found.
” Oh god, it finally came to pass” the Oracle cried.
” Why is the gods letting this happen to our kingdom?………we did everything they requested” the Oracle said.
More guards came in,side and were all heartbroken of the outcome.
” Guards, search everywhere and every house until she is found, she must not be allowed to escape” the commander said.
” And when you see her kill her immediately” he added.
” Yes commander” they replied then they all went out.
” I’m so sorry, My Prince” the Oracle said then the prince stood up with his eyes bulgy with tears.
He’s obviously furious because the look be had shows he’s ready to do just about anything to avenge their death.
The commander signalled to the royal guards and few of them went over to take the king and queen away.
” What are your orders My Lord?” The commander asked.
” Dispatch few of the soldiers to search for her, I want the rest near the kingdom” he replied then turned to the Oracle.
” Make the necessary preparation for my parents burial, let’s sort that out first” he said softly.
Both the commander and the Oracle are surprised because his reactions betrays the look in his eyes.
” Is there anything else?” The commander asked.
” That will be all, let’s give the kingdom time to morn the death of their king and queen” Klaus replied.
” As you wish, My Lord” they both said then went out.

{Next Day}

The news of the king’s death spread throughout the kingdom and villages including the neighboring kingdoms.
Kings and some other Royal dignitaries from other kingdoms came to pay their respect and condolences to the prince.
The kingdom Is filled with people coming in from everywhere to pay their last respect as they will be buried Immediately.
The burial take place and king Mehra and his queen were buried together.
Klaus used the opportunity to call on every king from other kingdoms for a brief meeting with them.
All of them gathered around a table along with some councilmen as well as they wondered why the urgent meeting.
” Greetings to you all and I do really appreciate you coming here today” Klaus said.
” My Gratitude to you all” he added.
” You need not to thank us for this, Prince Niklaus……your father was a great man and a great king”
” It came to us as a shock to learn of his demise, we promise to do anything to help you in any circ-mstances as your father would” one of the king said.
” Thank you, King Jega” Klaus replied.
” Actually, the reason I called you all here is because of the witch who got away after killing my parents”
” This witch is yet to be and right now she has my sister, princess Aurora with her and I’m afraid what she might do to her”
” So I ask for your help, this witch can be hiding anywhere including your kingdom” Klaus said then signalled to one of the guards.
The guard got to him and handed him the picture of Amelia then klaus showed it to them.
” This is the witch and I need you help in finding her” klaus said.
” You have nothing to worry about……you have our full support and we assure you she will be caught” another king said.
” Thank you all, let it be known……this witch is very dangerous, so she should be killed at sight” Klaus concluded.
” That won’t be a problem” one of them replied and they all stood up to leave.
” Thank you all for coming…….I really appreciate” Klaus appreciated.
” You’re a wise man Prince Niklaus and brave as well, just like your father and I’m certain he will be very proud of you” king Jega said.
” Thank you” he replied and they all went out.

After all the Kings and dignitaries left the throne room, the Oracle entered and came to him.
” My prince” she said bowing before him.
” What is it?” He asked.
” My Lord, I came to inform you about the upcoming ceremony of which you will be crowned King” she informed.
” That will have to wait, I can’t perform any ceremony when my sister is out there probably in danger” Klaus replied.
” I understand My Lord” she replied.
” I will assume the position and ascend the throne as king whether by ceremony or not, I am king already and that’s final” he said.
” Yes, My King” she replied then turned to leave.
” Hold” he said and she stopped.
” Oracle, I will be straightforward with you, I don’t like you and I don’t trust you ” he said and she furrow her brow in confusion.
” My Lord, why?” She asked.
” Your incompetence is what lead to the death of my parents and I am furious with you” he spat and she fell on her knees.
” My Lord, please forgive me, I’ll never do anything to put the kingdom in danger” she pleaded.
” All my service is to the gods and to the throne and all I want is for peace to reign” she said.
” If you had done your job as you should have, My parents will still be on the land of the living”
” You neglected your job, you’re supposed to the gods advocate but you fail to do your job”
” Perhaps maybe old age is calling up on you, new and young blood tends to do things rapidly”
” The only reason I don’t have you banished right now is because you’ve been serving the kingdom for a very long time and my father trusted you” he said.
” Gratitude My Lord, I promise such will never repeat itself” she replied.
” I hope that’s true because if it does, that will be your end in this Land” Klaus said and she was shocked.
” It won’t My Lord” she replied.
” Good, so tell me, is there anything you’d like to inform me about, any hidden and unknown prophesy?” Klaus asked.
” My Lord, I’m afraid there might be one” she replied reluctantly trying to avoid his cold glare.
” Tell me everything” Klaus demanded.
” 23 years ago, the gods gave two prophesy and they are both entwined together”
” The first one is a prophesy and the other is a vision which already came to pass” she replied.
” So what is it that you mean?” Klaus asked.
” My Lord, The first one already came to pass but I’m afraid the other one still stands” she replied.
” What does this prophesy says?” He asked.
” On an inauspicious day, a child will be born which is cursed by the gods, this child shall bring with her a darkness we’ve ever seen before”
” This child will be the cause of thousands of deaths in the kingdom will bring misfortune and cause the downfall of the kingdom” she stated.
” All of these will happen?……to our kingdom?……and Amelia will be the cause?” He asked unbelievably.
” Yes My Lord, and not just our kingdom alone” she said then continue.
” according to the prophesy she will cause so much havoc to the kingdom, leaving dead bodies everywhere around the kingdom” she said.
” When should will this happen?” He asked.
” Your highness, According to the prophesy the day will turn dark as an omen to this prophesy” she added.
” We can’t allow that…..we can’t let that happen, there has to be something we can do” Klaus said.
” I can’t let everything my father worked for be destroyed by a witch, I won’t allow it” he added.
” We need to end her, she might be a witch but she’s still human….we have to stop her before this happens” he said.
” Go, consult the gods on this and this time around I expect you to be at your best” he added.
” Do you Job Oracle, because I won’t entertain any more incompetence from you” he said coldly.
” Yes My Lord” the Oracle said then went out as Klaus keep pacing around the throne room thinking about the prophesy.

Amelia is alone in the forest gathering some food, her eyes was still black which means her alter ego is still in control.
As she was in the forest she heard a twig snapped then she turned and realized she’s not alone in the forest.
She noticed some movement around the forest then suddenly out of nowhere an arrow hit her on the chest.
‘ aahhhh’ she scre-med out loud then another hit her on the leg making her scre-m out more.
Few more arrows came at her but she was fast enough to stop it and shoot it back to wherever it came from.
She looked around but couldn’t see anyone because they are using the trees and leaves as shield.
She pulled out the arrows stuck in her then started running away and suddenly an army of soldiers appears.
Amelia turned around and realised she’s been trapped and surrounded and there’s nowhere to go.
They have been given a shoot at sight order and as they aim their arrow at her they shoot immediately.
” You can’t kill me” she gnarled at then they fire their arrow at her.
She stopped it all with her mind and aim it back at them then shoot.
Some of the soldiers were able to dodged it while most couldn’t and they fell down dead.
The remaining few saw this and they started running away then Amelia appear right in front of them.
” You should’ve stayed where you are”
” You should’ve leave us alone” she said then picked up a sword and strike at them one after the other.
Blood could be seen splattered everywhere on the ground as she killed them all then she disappeared.
