Annaveri

Chapter 28

"You had us so scared!"

"I know, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry?! That's it?!"

"Clelia." Ez scolded her. Clelia tried to fight back her tears. Ypolous couldn't look at her, he couldn't look at anyone. "Lous?" Iesana called. "Is this really what you want?" 

"I have too, I'm not right here..." 

"He will be with me, I will make sure he stays safe. It is time for him to venture out on his own, he is becoming of difficult age where he needs to do things on his own," Ez turned to Clelia and looked her into her eyes, "without being babied in any type of way."

"I can't stomach this..." Clelia cried, turning around. "Mom...? I will come visit... you and dad... I promise..." Ypolous spoke up. She turned back around, shocked. Iesana as well, but she smiled. "We all love you so much, promise us you will be ok?" She asked cheerfully. He looked up at her and smiled softly. "I promise." He responded. Clelia walked over and hugged him gently, planting a kiss on his forehead. "Go say bye to Sio, he isn't feeling well so he's in bed." She whispered in his ear. He nodded and hugged her tightly, then let go and ran upstairs to Sio. "Queen Ezperansa, I will also be on the outskirts of your land." Iesana spoke up.

"I know it may hurt to hear and do, but stay away from your brother. He needs time to become stable and figure things out for himself. Any interferences in an Omorfian's growth leads to-...bad things."

"I understand."

"And keep tabs of your demon. I don't want any of my people or creatures dead because of him. If I find out that they come up missing, I will execute both of you."

"Y-yes ma'am..."

"I don't eat glitter and sunshine and rainbows so you don't have to worry about me." Chameron growled. "Good. Keep it that way." Ez growled back. "Oh, and while i'm here, Heroshine is dead." Everyone looked at him, and gasped in awe. "H-huh?" Clelia choked. "I ended his life and took his soul yesterday. There is no more of him or his servants as of right now. The Zepulo wont do anything for a while. His Majesty is a coward, without anyone doing the job for him he wont do it himself. Celebrate while you can." Chameron gave the most bland and unintrested tone as he gave the information, while everyone began to smile at each other. "Jose!" Clelia called. He entered the room on command and bowed deeply. "Yes your honor?"

"Contact the other kings and queens, we must deliver the news!"

"Of course, what is this news?"

"Heroshine is dead!"

"Oh, that is wonderful news. I will contact everyone right away, and if there shall be a party, King Ezekkeyius has the most land and biggest castle, he does love materialistic things after all." Jose bowed once more and left to do what he was told. Ypolous came back down the steps and looked at everyone's happy faces. "Jeez, you didn't have to hide your excitement for me leaving like this." He thought out loud. "No silly goose, we are celebrating something else. Before you go, would you like to come?" Iesana asked. Ypolous shook his head. "I wanted to leave as soon as possible..."

"Ah come on mijo, it will be fun and you can say bye to everyone!" Ez stated. She smoothed back his hair and kissed his forehead. "Just this once."

"Alright alright fine." 

"What's all the noise about?" Sio slowly walked in. "Well look who's up, old man." Ez teased. "Shut up, rough skin."

"No thanks, grandpa peewee." As Sio began to clap back, he noticed Chameron, and his whole mood shifted. "Relax. Before you say anything, i'm not here to cause trouble. I did you a favor." Cham said to him.
