With the stone rolling towards, it then made the first move, removing its face looking downwards to looking up at Eric, yet it did not utter a word. It was still surprising as to how Eric had survived that wood and the beast therein without being hurt. Even while it stayed out there, it had heard the noises made by the beasts which proved to it they were after someone which it also knew Eric. Another thing that had made it baffled was seeing Zach, it never believed that Zach would survive encountering those creatures as it knew that the moment when they heard the scream that caused Eric to venture into the woods, it was the beasts dealing with Zach. Yes, it was surprising, but Eric was more surprised, he never believed that his powers were that strong to have kept the beast there for over two days. Aside this, he was made to understand before now that if a magician dies, his powers and everyone or thing under his or her spell would be free, so it was confusing to him that the orc was

When they came to the city of Riverston, the city was already down, commander Benjamin and his men had literally done everything within their power to stop the creatures but none was working, every strategy which they would use against the ogres, trolls and even orcs had been put in use before now. Thus what they were doing at this time was to protect as many as they could. The creatures that they had come to fight against, were the same beasts which had killed Eric in the woods, and this time they had come in their numbers to bring down the country and warn humans never to send any more man into their territory. The attack on Riverston was only a warning to man. When they saw the king approach the city, they ceased fighting. Even though they had not known king Luca before now, they knew from his armor and the way the soldiers rallied with him that he was the king, therefore the right person they wanted to see. Commander Ben, who had been trying so hard all this while was baffled wh

Now this brought them back to the question which the orc had asked. Eric knew that things would surely come to this point that was why he chose to wait till this time, keeping the orc’s question pending so that he would not have to repeat himself separately to Zach and the orc. So he spoke in the usual English which was being understood by both the orc and Zach, but he was kind of referring to the orc since that was the only way for it to understand the words that were coming out of his mouth. He also knew that Zach would understand his response to be an answer to his question too. “You have proven yourself worthy to be without those chains around your legs that is the reason why I had cursed them to leave you. I am sure that you will continue in this good attitude of yours until you bring us to the camp of your kind and lead us to wherever cage you are keeping Harris. You will help us save the kid and that way your life will be spread even though we are forced to kill the rest of your

Looking around as he was told, he still did not notice anything strange because he had looked around before now when he was looking for the orc. He maintained a still posture for a moment trying to figure out what had made Eric ask him to look around. Initially. He thought that it was the orc that Eric had asked him to look at but he was not seeing anything that he could say was the reason for his turning around. Eric noticed that he did not get the reason why he was asked to turn around, so he asked. “Can't you see it?” he was surprised that Zach was not observing the same thing which he was looking at. “See what?” Zach asked back as he looked at Eric for a second and then returned his gaze to the direction which he is meant to notice something strange in. Still in surprise that Zach was not beholding the sight which he was, he felt like allowing Zach to figure this out on his own, but there was no time for that, he had to air it out to save them the time which he would waste in t

Even though it had lied, about why it did not run away, Eric for sure knew that it was lying due to the way it stammered. He could now be bold to say that the orc was scared of being manipulated but there was no need of prolonging the talk. He just pretended to take the words of the orc as it had said. “So where did you go? We have been awake for quite a while now and couldn’t find you nor did we pick any track.” “I was looking around for a way through the mountain.” The orc claimed. Meanwhile that was not what it was doing, it just decided to take a walk and also to put their minds high when they woke up without finding it and that aim was achieved as they were really troubled about its disappearance, especially Zach. “Do you not know the way around these lands? Or let me guess, you are leading us to another place instead of the base of your kind where we would find the young soldier that had brought us out of our lands.” Eric was suspecting that it was lying, so he asked to be sur
