Fischer Omen

The spring was not so big, but through the transparent water ,they could see the fishes and everything under the water.

Jacob got down from the dune rider and ran towards the spring , and he cupped his hands and scooped some water from the spring ,and started drinking the water .

'That is the tastiest water I have ever drank',said Jacob , as he saw James come slowly near the spring with the bag with the bottles and cooking utensils.

James started drinking the water from the spring like Jacob.

' Yeah , that's true the water in our kingdom doesn't smell and taste like this due to the stink produced by liquid black when it is extracted',replied James while filling the bottles and taking out the utensils to be cleaned.

'Wait , don't clean the utensils now, we can use the dirt as a bait to catch the fishes ,'said Jacob, interrupting James from washing the utensils and making him remember the purpose of their visit.

'Jacob, Can I know why we are trying to catch the fishes?',asked James putting the dirty utensils aside and looking at Jacob and giving the vibe , 'I should have asked this question first, before coming all the way here'

'Well , you will know soon...now all we have to do is just catch all the fish in the water.'replied Jacob slowly going around the spring analysing the fishes and the it's depth .

'Catch all the fishes ,Are you insane ? It will take us days, I only brought a fishing net and a small bamboo fishing rod',said James ,trying to go after Jacob ,who was getting into the water to analyse the depth of the water even more closely.

'This was a fishing trip from the start don't forget that',said Jacob and went to the middle of the spring slowly not shuffling the sand too much , so that it doesn't make the water unclear and found the level of water was only upto his mouth.

James was about to get into the water fastly to strangle his brother for wasting his time after training by bringing him to the Oasis and saying an insane thing ,whereas they could have gone home early if they had left after killing the scorizers.

'James, stop! don't get into the water, I know you are getting angry...We came here because what we are going to do today is going to be important for our kingdom.

I already explained some parts of my plan to our father.

He will be ready with the parts of the plan that I told him to prepare ,when we get there.

So we have to do our part now',said Jacob explaining everything that he had planned to James.

James was dumbstruck after hearing the plan.

'So ,Why didn't you tell me this while we were traveling all the way?',asked James locking Jacob into a stare.

'Well duh ,you didn't ask me anything?', replied Jacob staring back and slightly worrying in his head that he was giving off the time sage vibes.

'You know that I can hear you right?'asked a voice in his head ,who was the so called 'time sage.'

'Mm hmm ',replied Jacob trying to avoid a conversation with the sage in his head and still staring at his brother who was staring at him still.

James broke the stare and the silence after processing everything Jacob had just said to him and asked him,

'What if we can't find it and if the information on the book was wrong?'.

'Well, I don't think the information on the book was wrong , I don't think someone would have spouted a lie on a geography book, that would be absurd....',replied Jacob remembering that he received Exp and Comprehension from the system for reading and learning the book completely.

'Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith, for the sake of everything',said Jacob again, slowly coming out of the water the same way he got in.

'Okay I will help you , but on a condition that if you fail I'll make you walk all the way to our palace',said James giving a creepy smile.

'Mm ok , but if I don't fail, then you have to teach me everything that instructor Carl taught you from the beginning leaving no part out, Deal!',asked Jacob standing in front of James.

'Deal!',replied James with a grin.

....

'James, if we use the fishing rod I don't think we can catch a lot of fish, so let's use the dirt from the utensils as a lure to reel in the fishes using the net you brought,'said Jacob.

'Jacob ,this spring has lot's of fishes do you think you can lure it by catching all the fishes',asked James slowly unwrapping the net from his bag.

'Well let's try to catch all the fishes ,if it doesn't work ,I have thought of another plan',said Jacob looking at the intestines and non-edible parts of the scorizer which James had kept inside one of the bags.

James and Jacob started spreading the net and laid it on the water according to Jacob's instructions .

Out of the four sides on the net,they tied two sides to the end of two palm trees standing side by side in one end and on the other end they tied it to the top of the palm tree which was bent towards the middle of the spring and made it like a pulley so it would be easy to pull the net up.

After setting up the net ,they put the bait and waited for the fishes to come , the big fishes in the spring were easily lured by the crumbs of meat in the utensils first and slowly the little ones followed.

They pulled up the net at the right time and it was a huge haul, they took out all the fishes on the net and dumped it above a cloth they had laid on the sand.

They repeated the process again and again , and fishes were seen everywhere as the cloth they had was too small to place all the fishes.

But still there were some fishes going here and there.

They tried using the net again using the last bits of bait they had but it was of no use, they were able to catch some ,but not all the fishes.

'Thats it Jacob, I don't think we can catch those fishes',said James giving up on catching all the fishes.

'Time for plan B , James take out all the waste parts of the scorizer you kept without cooking,'asked Jacob explaining his plan about poisoning the water.

'Brother your plan is sick, why can't we have done it first?',asked James drinking some water and tried to fill the water bottle again before the water was poisoned.

'Then all the fish in the spring would have been of no use to anyone and would have been wasted', replied Jacob doing the same as James.

'Hmm , yeah that's true , but I don't know what we are going to do with this much fishes anyway',said James scratching his head.

The sun was starting to set , by looking at the sun Jacob could guess that the time had gotten around 5 pm.

Jacob and James had successfully poisoned the entire spring by using the remaining scorizer parts.

The remaining fishes in the lake started to die and their bodies started floating on the surface of the water.

Suddenly the bubbles started appearing on the water surface.

'Who dares to awaken me from my slumber,I am Fischer Omen, the ...',said a bubbling voice ,which was not comprehensible for the duo, as all they could hear was a tiny voice from all the popping bubbles.

'James ,did you hear that voice I think it came from the bubbles',said Jacob observing the water to identify the source of the sound.

After finding out its voice was not heard by the duo, the individual tried to amplify the majesty and strength of it's voice by using magic.

A swirling whirlpool appeared in the middle of the spring and a mighty voice resounded out of it ,

'Who dares to awaken me from slumber? I am Fischer Owen ,the whisperer of springs and the fountain of destruction, Who dares to poison my humble abode, Do you have a death wish?',said the individual from below the water.

'Sorry, Fisher of men , We had no choice but to poison your abode to wake you out of your slumber,as we needed your help?',replied Jacob in a polite voice.

'Its Fisher Omen and why do you think I would help you brat?',it replied to the individual with a strange voice and a strange accent ,as if it hadn't spoken in a long time.

'Fissure o men, we want.....'.

'It's Fi-sch-er O-men, Say my name properly brat or simply call me Omen ',replied the strange individual with an angry voice.
