Siren's Song

Episode 2

At that same time, the filthy witch got her place in Pascestor Abyss. The palace of Evalon was getting into trouble. The queen couldn't eat and sleep well. Her stomach ached most of the time. She couldn't swallow all the food and drink. So, she called the special physician of the palace. But the physician didn't know why she felt that. He tried his best by finding the precious herbs to make her feel well. But her blood flow was getting slower and there was an abnormal heartbeat. The physician realized that something worse was happening to the queen. So, he advised the trusted maid who serves near the queen all the time. The advice is to call up the wizard or witch with healing power to fix the problems. The trusted maid of the queen couldn't believe her ears. The physician told her "you must hurry to call them to cure the queen". The trusted maid of the queen sent the palace guard to call up all the best wizards and witches who had healing skills. A day later, the statement came out of the castle. Many wizards, witches, and mages came to the castle to focus on the illness of the queen. Among them, the old wizard found the ancient trick on the queen's baby. He said "the queen isn't sick". Everyone wasn't believing their ears. The trusted maid and physician said "how can it be possible?". The wizard explained to them everything about the dead tree curse. The tree which was dying by the forceful punishment and anger of a planter or gardener. Then, it comes back to live again with a serious healing potion that gives energy to the tree. However, it comes back alive by turning into the cursed tree. The curse tree could be useful for putting a curse around the area of that person's own. It could produce fruits and flowers if the person takes the flowers to eat. That person turned out to be an undead person. If the person ate the fruit of a cursed tree, they will turn to the same tree-like form. Everyone was gasping over his words. The wizard said "No one else knows much about that kind of tree". Then, they said "the curse could be made by the ancient witches but there are only a few of them left". The queen stood up from the bed and said "so how can we find it". The wizard said, "it won't be far from you". But the wizard told her to sit back down on the bed and then he used the thin thread to test the heart of the baby. His eyes widened suddenly. Everyone was checking his reaction. He dropped the thread and told the trusted queen maid "hurry, the baby's condition isn't well". The queen said, "how bad". The wizard said "it can't pass tonight". The queen was shocked "what". Then, the queen sent the palace guard to the garden and everywhere near her room to find that tree. Before they go find that tree, the wizard tells them "don't kill that tree, tell them to take the biggest flower from the branch which points to the queen's room". They listened to his words and then went to find that tree.

It didn't take much time to find the tree. They found it right after they headed out of the nearest door to the garden. In the garden, the tree, like a thin skeleton, was pointing it branch towards the queen's room and flowering the tiny pink flowers without leaves. They headed forward to take a closer look. Then, the head of the palace guard found the biggest flower at the top of the branch which pointed out the queen's room. He used the hook to grab the flower. Then, the junior told him "be careful, the wizard told us not to drop that flower on the ground". The senior said "just grab it right away". After unplugging the branch, the flower fell down to the ground. Before it reached the ground, the knight came up to catch the flower. The head of the palace guard said, " Thank you are the life savior". The knight said, "what are you doing in this garden?". The head of the palace guard said "we must hurry to take the flower to the queen". The knight said, " Okay, I will leave it to you". Then, the guards took their weapons and their heads hurried back into the castle and ran as fast as they ran to the queen. After he arrived with the flower, the wizard took it and placed it in the mortar and pestle. He crashed it down well and then he requested the boiling water. The maid took the cup of boiling water and then he put the mixture inside the cup. Then, the wizard handed it over to the queen. The queen tried to drink the cup of tea with a mysterious flower mixture. The queen drinks the full potion and they wait to get a result. An hour later, the queen was sleeping on the bed. The trusted maid waited beside the queen's bed. They haven't seen the queen relax peacefully after being pregnant. She had had a serious illness all the time. Now, they hope it works. In the morning, the queen called her maids to prepare the best dishes for her. She said "I am getting hungry and I feel like I could eat the whole cow". The maids said "wait up the queen, we will be back with dishes". After having breakfast, the queen sent her maid to call the wizard. A minute later, the wizard came up to her room to check the blood flow of her and the baby. The wizard used the thread to figure out the situation inside. He smiled by saying "your baby has a healthy heart and flows back to normal". The queen sighed and said, "Thank God". The wizard said a serious word as a warning before he left. He told them "please be careful if the tree dies, the princess' life is in trouble again". He continued "that's the reason why you must care about that tree as much as you look after the princess". The queen said, "how could you say that". The wizard told her "I am a wizard. Of course, I can see the future". After he left, the queen ordered him to send a guard to watch and a gardener to care for that tree. To plant that tree, they need a potion for watering the tree.

The queen gave birth to a baby princess after two months. The king came back from battle and he ran up to meet the queen. When he got into the room, the queen was holding the princess in her arms. He couldn't say a word when he saw the beautiful picture of motherhood. He looked at his baby from the door. The queen sensed his sweaty body's scent of him. So, she looked at the door and saw him. She said, "if you get home, why don't you get in". He said "you and our baby look much like a picture. I want to store it in my heart". The queen said, "stop talking about this". The queen said "come and hold your baby girl". Fatherhood waited for him. He didn't prepare to be a good father. But he headed forward to hold the baby once. When he got near them, the queen gave the baby into his arms. He held the baby carefully and looked at the baby's face. He found out their baby had long lashes and dark golden hair. He said, "who put the beauty of the world in here". He couldn't stop his will to kiss the baby's forehead. When he kissed her lightly, the queen shouted " You need to take a shower first if you want to touch your baby". He said "it's ridiculous". She said "our baby got back to life after the wizard saved her". The king asked her "what happened". The queen told us about the things happening at the castle after the king leaves. The king was shocked and put the baby back to the queen and looked at the garden from the window. He saw the skeleton-shaped tree inside the garden near the forest. He said, "why don't the guards drop it". The queen stopped him by saying "I didn't say anything to them because the wizard warned him about the worst thing that would happen". The king said, " When did you start believing in the wizard?".

At that time, an active boy who was looking for a job saw the job advertisement on a board near the market. He worked part-time at a flower shop. So, he thought the garden job position exactly matched his skill. He requested a day's leave from the owner of a flower shop. And then, he changed his dress at home. His parents lived in the village of Evalon kingdom. He came to the capital because of finding a job and making a lot of money to support his parents. The boy named Siren was entering the palace to have an interview to get the job. The chief gardener tested him by asking more than 10 questions. Then, the chief gardener tested his willingness for this job. Finally, he got that job because the chief gardener realized that he had full of energy to care for the plants and connections with trees. The job was gardening and caring for the magical tree near the forest. The other gardeners worked near the rear gardens and green houses. But he must take care of this tree only. Before he left, the chief gardener talked about job time. It was getting fixed and always started from morning to evening.
