Through Zach's steady watch, Eric was able to know what was going on in his heart, so there was a lot of need for him to keep alert and avoid the distraction Zach needed. In due time while they rested, they could now hear the sound of the monsters of the territory, therefore it was known that their journey had just begun. Nevertheless, the sounds they heard were as a result of Zach's scream. His voice was the thing that attracted the monster in question. "We should move," Eric stood to his feet after hearing the sound as he threw his suggestion. At this moment, there was no way Zach could focus on casting Eric out of his sight. Despite the fact that he wanted to die, being a human made him scared of death as nobody would naturally see death coming his way and still stand. So he took the opinion of Eric at once, rising also to his feet with his weapon held firmly in his hands, ready to fight whatever attacks them. "Now is not the time to fight, Zach...." Eric warned him as he coul

Even with what has just happened and the terror in his face while he threatened the creatures, they showed no concern as they knew at once that he was the magician which their leader had asked them to find and bring his head. Being in chains made that to me an impossible task as they were sure of their death. Since they were hearing his words as though it was orcish language, they believed that he was also understanding what they said. Therefore it was as a result of what the other one said that has made him to slay it without second thoughts "How do we trust that you would not kill us after telling you what you seek to know?" One of them asked Eric since they knew that their fate was sealed. "That is only if you tell me the exact truth and nothing else. Mind you, I will know when you tell lies." Eric sounded a warning to them before he hit straight to the question of the day. But before he would begin his question, another orc said, "I am not going to be a part of this. You would

After some hour of being led by the orc through the paths of the outer world which they had no clue where it was taking them, they came before a mountain and the orcs still insisted that they go through the cave that was in the mountain. At this point, Zach was now beginning to sense evil as his heart was no longer in support of passing that path. He had to say to Eric. "Remind this creature that its life is in our hand, so that it would not do something stupid or funny." Though his words were not direct but Eric understood better that his heart was being to conceive that was why it needed the orc to know what will come up on it if the path it was leading them to was the wrong path to go. So he did as he was told by saying to the orc in human language. "Remember I will send you to hell if it is realized that you are walking us into our death." "That is if you are not dead before then," the orc muttered in the language it knew how to speak. At this point, since it was not audible e

It took a long while before Eric Claus could come to a final decision on what action to take. The sky was already becoming too dark before he concurred to what the orc had said about them going into the dark cave to continue their journey to the base of the orcs. Left alone with Eric, he would have spent forever in the place of thoughts if not for the company of Zach who interrupted his thinking with some words. “Come on Eric, what is the matter? You are taking too long in these thoughts. Talk to me.” Eric then raises his face from looking downwards to looking directly at Zach, who had asked him the question. He was honestly struggling with what to say to Zack the moment but within a few minutes coupled with the look he was seeing in the face of the creature, he got the boldness to answer Zach and tell him the challenge he was facing. “I am finding it difficult to trust this monster. My heart is totally against going into that cave. I can perceive evil in there.” “I understand you

After repeating the name twice in the low tone without getting a response, his fear increased in a very great manner, as he could feel a sudden cold all over his body as he lost the guts to speak another word. He was now very quiet, putting his ears on the ground to check if he would hear any footsteps which he could track and believe were the footsteps of Eric and the orc. To his greatest surprise, he could not hear any footstep at all, more to even say it belongs to that of Eric nor the orc. Even the sound of the dangling sound of the chain could not be heard, so it was now obvious to him that he had been separated from Eric and the orc. Yet it was confusing to him how that was possible because he had his best in making sure that he was close to them yet his best had failed him, now he had to find his way all by himself in the dark which he could not even tell where he was coming from nor where he was heading to. Realizing he was not anywhere close to Eric, he had to increase the t
