Chapter 3 - THE CURSE

EAST

(KINGDOM DOAKES)

A strange man was keeping his eyes on a mountain. It was a building which is made inside a mountain. It was a prison cell holding numerous prisoners all around the world known as "cells of skies" . He sighed in relief and said, after all, today was the day. Still studying the patterns how the guards work which he was doing for the last 9 months. He was having good physique and maybe in the 30s. He wore a cape which could cover his face too.

Wredd - I'm so popular even gods having business with me.

Dendrede - I have many things to say. I haven't put that in order. Just to remind you I'm not a threat. You don't need to get afraid of me , I'm just a messenger.

Wredd - Like I'm afraid of you.

Wredd (ignoring Dendrede) cried to Stacy that he couldn't even eat as he was hungry and asked her if she ain't hungry.

Dendrede - Yes. You should eat first before we talk. I will fetch you some meat. You don't need to blow your cover.

Wredd gave a dumb look.

He told us to wait because there was a shed offering shelter and food to travellers nearby. He went there on foot without saying anything. We decided to wait and he did come later.

Wredd - What? I don't believe you. Did you mix something in it?

Dendrede - I told you I'm not a threat. I'm just a messenger. First of all have your bellied full. We will talk after that.

Food was delicious and everyone praised it

Dendrede - No. Just be yourself.

Stacy -Do you come with some kind of message ?

Dendrede - Yes , Just pay attention .

Dendrede to Wredd - Do you think your hunger went away ? What about your thirst ? Does your stomach feel heavy ? Take your time and feel it. Then you answer me Do you feel ?

Wredd (shockingly) - No.

He looked at Stacy and said it still the same. He was hungry and thirsty.

Stacy and Kyla (together) - I'm full

Wredd - What low-grade stuff you gave to me?

Dendrede- Just shut up and listen.

Stacy - What is it?

Dendrede - Aaah. You're Stacy Morgan.

Stacy - How do you know my name?

Dendrede - As I said I'm a messenger of gods so I know plenty of things. Those things include this wredd. I'm talking to you wredd.

Wredd looked at him and Dendrede continues talking.

Dendrede - You will continue to feel hunger and thirst until the end of the time. No matter how much you eat or drink. Your hunger and your thirst will never stop.

Wredd - What? Why?

Dendrede - You will believe me when you will feel the real curse. It's just begin. It's a curse of living death. Your wounds will never heal. The most terrifying thing is you will never die. You will feel your wounds until the end of time.

Everyone except Dendrede looked at the wound in stomach shockingly.

Dendrede - Wounds will stay with pain but it will never kill you and will never get heal. That's a curse. It's the most unwanted curse ever , The curse of living death.

Wredd - But why I'm being cursed?

Robert Seeths - I hate to ask your majesty but have you given a thought about the heir to the throne of Orisia.

Dartha Kabooj (sarcastically) -Hmmm

Not now. Maybe I adopt someone. Maybe I marry someone. Maybe I marry you.

Later Dartha talked to her daughter if she was happy with the decision of marrying here. Artha was quite convincing and said she didn't need to worry.

Holland Seeths (youngest daughter of Robert Seeths) ( excitingly) - Your Majesty Queen of the north.

Dartha Kabooj - Hey hey little girl. You don't have to speak to me that way. That is for others Not for the little girls. Take me as your mother.

Hollace -Ohhh... That's very sweet of you. I want to know the story behind late king Adval Jones.

Robert - It's not a place dear to ask her majesty.

Dartha Kabooj - Its okay honey. Ask me hollace.

Hollace - What was he like? Was it true he defeated all the army of West in the Battle of North sea?

Dartha Kabooj - To be true my darling we came to know later that his army retreated and he was the only Reason. But he holds something great. Something God has given power. Only those who retreated or survived know of God-given power. Only those can tell you clearly what happened there.

Hollace - Is the statue is really big?

Dartha - Come with us later after marriage I will show you how they made it by removing unwanted rock from the rocky mountain and prepared a huge statue of him. It's marvellous. We owed him everything. I only remember his face now. Seven years had passed since he died.

Cedric - They aren't our rivals too. If they were that got plenty of chance before. But they gave us this kingdom. This little part of our original kingdom. I am having some business.

Priestess obssession - It's against the rule you are not telling us anything.

Cedric - I will tell when I return. Is that fair?

EAST

(KINGDOM DOAKES)

The Cells of the prison were open on one side. If you look down trees would look like grass... Cells were made within the mountain itself. The mysterious man was climbing the mountain by itself covered with clothing made of rocks and dry bushes. It was impossible to see him at night. Yet every time he moves up, he looked all the way around just to confirm no one watches him. He checked two cells by hiding. At last, he found a right cell then barge into it.

Mourd Shikon - Hope you are doing good.

The prisoner (waking up ) - Who are you?

Mourd Shikon - Less talking. We have to leave now.

The prisoner - I don't want to leave. Just leave things as they are now.

Mourd Shikon - I don't accept this kind of insult.

He punched him unconscious. He took out a large bunch of rope with him.

"Do I look mad to you ?" He said, " It took 9 months to prepare all of this ". He waited there for like an hour because of the shift of the guards.

"Now is the time," he said.

Mourd Shikon binds him to the back and climbs down the mountain.

(KINGDOM THRACIA)

Dendrede - Before telling you why there's one more thing I want to demonstrate.

Wredd - What?

Dendrede pointed Stacy to come near her. He grabbed his arm and pierce his nail onto her hand.

Stacy - What the hell do you think you are doing?

She couldn't resist him. She was shouting to leave her alone and then he released her.

Wredd (surprised) (with fear) - I feel it. I feel someone hold my arm. (looking into his arm) I feel someone pierce something on my hand. (sitting down) What is it?

Stacy - What do you mean by that?

Dendrede - In simple words if the girl dies you will die too. But there is a good thing and thing is that you will be free from the curse, The curse of living death.

All three were surprised.

Stacy - I want to go home.

Dendrede - My dear. You don't belong here. It's not your world. I know you want to go home badly but you can't. There's only one way.

Stacy - What is that ?

Dendrede - It's the crown you are holding.

Wredd - We don't have any.

Dendrede (sarcastically) - Okay , you don't have.

Stacy - Explain how ? please .

Dendrede - Anyone who wears that crown should say your name . Then you can fulfil your any wish. You have to wish to go back to home and that's it you will be at home then.

Stacy kept mum.

Wredd (confused) - Say it again.

Dendrede - Yes you heard it right. The one who wears crown cannot make a wish. It always require two souls to do that. If you wear the crown then you have to say a name while imagining his face.

Wredd - If I don't or say my name instead.

Dendrede - Then it is the greed . Greed leads to the curse you are having now. You souls splits into two . Part of your soul remain in the body and part of the soul trapped in the crown . Moreover, The shinote goes back to the temple.

Wredd - What do you mean by parting of the soul ?

Dendrede - This diadem is not meant to be here . It belongs to Goddess Mia who herself give this strongest weapon to help mankind from Evil. It is not meant for personal revenge or greed. Anyone who uses it become the victim of the curse either way.

Wredd - How ?

Dendrede - You used it incorrectly , you are cursed. If two souls uses it then those two souls now have to sign a contract with God to be their servant for eternity. If they refused then comes the curse of eternity aka curse of living death.

Wredd - I don't remember any contract.

Dendrede - It's because You didn't say a name. You just wear it with full of greed. There was only one soul. Some part of you trapped with crown and other part was killed by the army sent by your father. They threw you into the river flowing into Kingdom Doakes. Go find the other part. If you kill him then the curse would be lifted to him.

Wredd (surprise) - kill him ?

Dendrede - Yes, your soul parted into two. There's another you out there wandering just like you.

Wredd - huh....and what if he killed me?

Dendrede- Then you will have the curse. He will be free of the curse. (pointing to Stacy) But both of you will die if the girl standing here will die. So help her first. Take her home back. Next time you wear a crown then say her name.

Wredd - But I don't have a crown.

Dendrede (laughingly) - Please do not mess with me. Help the girl first before taking your revenge .

Wredd - What revenge?

Dendrede (laughingly) - Ohh I'm sorry I forgot You want to make things correct for your love. But Other part of you want revenge on your own father. He's different man.

Dendrede pointing to Stacy and said, " Do not forget, you are the trump card here because none of them wants to die. You are a breath of both of them".

Dendrede - Now the message from the gods.

Stacy - There's still more. I am not able to digest

these things and there's still more.

Dendrede - Goddess Mia has sent two guardians named Parreras' Brothers to bring back diadem back to Denia. They are liable to kill for their quest . That's all. Hope I will see you again.

Man turned into tornado of black ravens which then flew away all together.

On the palace, Pheesel Anisomy leaves the kingdom in search of wredd mashetts with 5 troops of 6 soldiers each.
