Asking a series of questions at the same time made it impossible for Eric to know and decide which one to answer and which not to, so he chose not to answer any of the questions, and in place of an answer he said. “What other choice do we have?” His reply was very much perfect because if things were viewed from the other perspective. They truly do not have a choice than to follow the other. Eric following the orc without asking question was not because he was not feeling the same way as Zach, rather it was because he had asked himself all those questions in silence and had predicted all possible answers that the orc would give to him to see they will still end in him continuing to following the creature so he had to save the energy which would be use to ask to those questions and probably enter into an argument that may not help them and their mission in anyway. What he did was to ensure that the orc was with them and would not by any means want to outsmart them by doing something fun

But Zach could not just spill it out as he knew that Eric was not ready to hear the name of the creature which the orc had brought them into its cave. “Forget about the name of the beast, let us turn around. Going that way is very dangerous. We wouldn’t survive it.” “It is either you tell me what it is or have me find out by myself?” Eric gave him two options to choose from and he was very serious about it. “It is a dragon.” Zach made his choice by telling him what it was instead of allowing him continue with the movement which he had tagged to be suicidal. “A dragon?!” Eric exclaimed as he could not believe what he was told. According to what they told him in the country of Palind, they only had one dragon terrorizing them of which he had killed so it was impossible for him to believe that there was another dragon out there in the outer world. “Yes, I know the sound of one when I hear it.” Zach was absolutely affirmative on this and would not back out even though Eric refuses to

Well, Eric wasn’t stupid to see that the dragon was about to breathe fire and then do nothing. He was already on it. saying a few words which came into his head with the belief that they would result in a magical trick. Just as believed, the words he said silently to himself gave rise to a magical trick opening a little portal which none knew where the portal leads to, and the aim of this portal was not to give take them out of the cave, rather the portal brought about the fire breath of the dragon to go through it to a location unknown to them, causing no harm to come to Zach who was the target of the dragon. With what had just happened, the dragon knew that Eric was a magician, therefore it knew what it was up against. Initially, it thought he was just a mere man, but knowing now that he had magic, it could tell that it would be very difficult for it to kill them alone. What surprised it most was the fact that he had casted a spell without any staff in his hands, and that was a cha

In a matter of a few minutes, Zach was now able to sight what Eric had foreseen and now he was able to understand what he had said before. The joy he got was so great that his speed increased because with their destination in view, there was hope of escaping as they now knew with evidence that their movement was not in vain. As they approached the exit of the cave, that was when they were able to hear the roaring voice of the dragons. This time the roar was so great and fierce, able to freeze their in thought that the dragons were near. But this roar was coming at the wrong time because the exit of the cave was already in view. The rate of this roar made it seem to them as though the dragons could feel that they were about exiting the cave and thus the roar was in sorrow for their failure to kill those who have entered their cave and have broken an unbreakable record. The roar continued with echoing even as they came out of the cave and had to run some meters away from the mouth of

The fact they were not getting any scent to track was frustrating to them, they kept wondering what could be the reason for them not getting a track and it appeared to be caused by two options based on their level understanding. It was either they the scent was being blown away by the air out there since it was a vast space and therefore had more breeze or it could be that they had gone back the the country of humans through the help of the magician which they were aware of and his new magical ward which he had stolen from them because it wasn’t his. Since they had two possible options going through their minds, it was expedient that they choose either of the options and act in a way that would favor based on the option that they would choose. The first dragon that had come out of the cave and had breathe fire on the rock which Eric and Zach were taking refuge in then made it clear to the other of its kind with concrete reason, telling them that the second option was the only that
