Chapter 2
- Meeting Room:
- "This is all your fault!" Queen Flora shouted. "Now the Gate of Darkness is opened, it won't take much time before it starts to turn everyone into evil."
- "I am sorry, I didn't know he would do something like that." Avonmora said softly.
- Darin wanted to say something hurtful towards Avonmora when a bright light shone before them before it vanish.
- A beautiful lady stood where the bright light was, all dressed in white as the Kings and Queens all stood up and bowed to her and sat down again. Her eyeballs were white and her forehead bore a circle.
- "The priestess is always there whenever we need her." King Davea said with a smile.
- "I did not bring good news, the gods are angry. The Gate of Darkness is opened and it will cause a great war if it is not closed in time." The priestess said.
- "What then should we do?" Lillian asked.
- "The only way to close the gate of Darkness is to sacrifice the one who had caused it."
- All eyes turned to look at Avonmora, some with hate, others in pity.
- "Then Avonmora shall be sacrificed to avoid whatever evil that want to befall on us." King Darin said.
- "Not only her, you know what it took the god's to lock down the Gate of Darkness after they defeat Lucifer. Her people, every single mermaid and merman, shall be sacrificed to close down the Gate in two days time." The priestess said and vanished.
- "You all heard her, in two days time, Avonmora and her people shall be killed." Queen Flora said with a smile.
- "But killing them all, won't that be the end of mermaids?" Roen asked.
- "The god's have spoken Roen, and there is no going back." Darin said and stood up to meet Avonmora. "Enjoy your last days with your people." He left the meeting room.
- Soon everyone began to leave the room except Roen and Lillian.
- Standing up to his feet. "I warned you, but I can understand since he was your soulmate. But this time around, I can't help you, the god's are now involved." with a sad smile, Roen left the meeting room leaving Lillian alone with her
- "Lillian, I am pregnant with the demon child, what should I do?"
- "Shhhh, the walls have ears, teleport us now to my Chambers."
- Avonmora nodded her head and teleport them to Lillian lairs. Casting a magic spell around the wall to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.
- "Repeat what you just told me a few minutes ago?"
- "I am pregnant for Tharollin, I told him but he thought I was joking, help me, I don't want my child to die with me. Please my sister, save my child."

- Two Days Later:
- All the supernaturals gathered to witness the execution of the mermaids race in front of the Gate of Darkness.
- The priestess stood before the Gate as she gesture with her head to the Vampire warriors to begin. They started killing the mermaids.
- Soon all mermaids and merman lay dead remaining Avonmora.
- The priestess walk over to meet her. "Your punishment will be so different, the god's want your soul, but your body shall be placed at the front Gate of Darkness to warn anyone who has your fish brain." She told Avonmora and touched the mermaid forehead.
- Her soul in a smoky form began to come out from her mouth, the priestess brought out a diamond stone and her soul went into it.
- Avonmora body slumped as her eyes were wide open, her lifeless eyes, looking straight to Lillian. It was as if it was reminding her of her promise she made to her two days ago.
- The priestess smiled and levitate Avonmora body and made it stand at the Gate. Avonmora body immediately turned into ice.
- The priestess said some words and the gate started closing. It stopped before it will shut finally.
- "What happened? The Gate isn't shut completely." Flora said.
- The priestess who was equally surprised closes her eyes briefly and opened it. "There is still one more mermaid missing."
- "Impossible, all the mermaids clan has been killed, so which one are you talking about?" Darin asked.
- "A mermaid yet to be born. Her blood shall be used in shutting down the Gate of Darkness completely."
- "How is that possible?" Roen demanded.
- "I don't know, but it wasn't reveal to me, I shall consult the god's and get back to you all." The priestess reply and vanished before anyone question her further.
- ***
- Lillian entered her Chambers and made sure she locked the door, saying a spell, a door appeared and she entered it.
- The door opened to another hidden room, at the middle of the room was a ball, which looks more like nylon floating with a very tiny fetus in it.
- She had promised Avonmora she would take care of her child.
- "Promise me Lillian nothing will happen to my child, you're a very strong witch, I know you can do something to prevent my child from dying with me."
- "I will help you because you once helped me before."
- "Thank you, but you must promise me Lillian not to tell her who her parents were, I have a strong feeling that it's a girl. If it is a girl, please do name her Rae, because she is my Rae of light, but if it is a boy, you name him. And one more thing, please hide her powers, especially if she carries the demon blood"
- "Of course Avonmora. Come one, we don't have much time." Lillian said and say a spell. The same door appeared and they entered inside.
- Lillian smile as she went over to where the ball was floating.
- Since the child has a demon blood in him or her, it will take almost 1,000 years before the ball burst.
- ***
- The priestess appeared on top of the mountain where she lived.
- She didn't see that coming, killing off the mermaids and using their blood at the gate was for a purpose. She couldn't tell the people that the yet to be born mermaid she saw will be born in a thousand years to come, but who will give birth to the mermaid?
