"How is this possible?", asked the Naga King in both shock, and anger.

"Not the warm welcome, that I had been hoping for," replied Agan, "Didn't you miss me—brother?"

"Why are you here?" The Naga King asked. "Why now? Why after all this time do you come back now?"

"To claim wha is rightfully mine." Agan replied. My kingdom..." He then looked towards Hailey.

"...and my queen."

"Sorry—brother!" The Naga King growled. "Both are mine, and I am not giving up either one of them. I have done everything father has asked of me. The lamia is my reward. I will soon breed her, and are children will help conquer the world. Ever since the war with the humans thousands of years ago, father became angry with mankind. World domination is his desire, not just mine."

"Oh I know what father wants," replied Agan. "But not with you as king. He has never forgiven you for murdering me, your own brother in cold blood. You remember, when you slit my throat from behind. Such cowardice brother. But what angered me was the look of terror on my beloved's face. See, I lived for a few seconds after you did it. I saw the look of horror in her eyes, and heard her scream in anguish as my blood spilled upon her."

"Well then," said the Naga King, "You shouldn't have been in human form. As you know, only we are able are able to kill one another. But only if one of us is in his true naga form, while the other has taken the embodiment of a human, or a snake. But it was you who showed cowardice. You were breeding her in human form so that your offspring wold be human. That why you could continue to break your own treaty, and the human's wouldn't suspect a thing if she had given birth to a child that was your's."

"Why are you rehashing information that I already know?", asked Agan.

"Maybe I want my lamia—my queen to know the truth!", exclaimed the Naga King.  "I think she has the right to know just how invincible, or how vulnerable we really are."  He then turned his attentions towards Hailey. She had a look of confusion in her eyes.  Her body kept trembling is his arms. He wanted to comfort her, knowing that she must have been extremely confused. After all, he was.

"Don't worry my dear," he cooed. "I won't let him take you from me. It is too late for him to try anyway. You are my queen, and soon to be the mother of my children." 

"Yes dear brother," said Agan. "about that. Technically you may be joined to her in what the human's refer to as a marriage. However, the curse has not been broken. I'm afraid that neither one of us can conceive with her, as of now."

"What are you talking about?", the Naga King asked in confusion. "The curse was said to be broken, when the Naga King finds a bride who willingly pledges herself and her love to him."

"Very true." Replied a smug Agan. "Willingly being the operative word, but see you forced her to do it. Her pledge to you wasn't sincere.  You probably should have studied the prophecy a little better. Plus, you are no longer the Naga King. Since I have returned, that title belongs to me.  So even if she had been sincere, we would still both be cursed. Neither one of us will be able to to impregnate anyone. Only when I fall in love, and have her sincerely pledge herself and her love to me, will the curse be broken. As you know, Hailey is the only woman for me."

"I will not fight you for the kingdom, brother.", the Naga King replied. "I have done my part, and maybe I just need a break from it all anyway. So have your kingdom. I will follow you as a loyal subject. And when you finally find the one who can break the curse, I will help you conquer mankind. But Hailey is mine!  However when you finally do break the curse, making me able to breed with her, our children shall also be at your service.  In the meantime, she and I will get plenty of practice."
