As the sun shined on them through the window, Riggs woke up as he muttered, "Shit! We have slept for too long." So he started tapping them to wake up so that they would leave the house as they had agreed.After they were all awake and ready to move out immediately, Gabriel asked, "Wait, we are not complete."It was now that it came to the mind of the others that they should count themselves again to see who was missing in their midst. Under a second, they discovered who was no longer with them and Gross asked. "Where is Frost?"Everyone was asking the same thing, so no one could answer that question. "Frost! Frost! Come out, this is not funny. Don't play such pranks with us."They were all shouting as they could not say any reason why he would suddenly get missing in the middle of night and none of them would notice it."Let's check down stairs." Gabriel suggested since they had checked the floor which they were in.As they came down the stairs, they were still shouting his name, beg
As they heard the word orcs, Gabriel, Enoch, Gross and Kennedy jumped to their feet with shock all over them. They were already made to be scared of these creatures, so they drew to see what Colin was referring to as an orc. As Gabriel and Enoch, who had been told stories about this thing and saw it, they too recognized it to be what Colin had called it. It was the exact and perfect description which was told to them by the elders of Gytle."We shouldn't be here anymore. These things don't move alone. For us to see this one, it means that there are more of them hanging around." Gabriel said. This was the information given to them concerning the orcs. They never moved alone.So on this instruction that they should move, the six of them who had concluded in their hearts about giving into death whenever it came again, had to move instantly. But as they moved, their smell attracted the orcs and they could hear the rallying of the orcs against."We are in trouble," Riggs said."Of course,
The poison of the fruit which they had taken was so great that they slept for over twenty four hours; which was a whole day.Then a very bright light shines upon them at the twenty ninth hour. The light was so bright that they were disturbed by it and Colin was the first to shake and then wake up. Even as he opened his eyes, he could not see anything because the light covered his face. Using his hands to stop the light from shining directly into his eyes so that he might be able to see what was responsible for such a great light, but it was to no avail. Not could be seen no matter how he tried.So what he did was to hurriedly wake his four partners so that they would also see the strange thing which he was beholding. It took a while before they all were fully awake. And the light was still shining so bright at them, making them wonder what was responsible for such a light.While the other four were asking themselves questions and talking on how they could approach the light to see wha
Elmer was shocked by the way he spoke, it was not what he had expected, he could now see that surely, none of them was afraid of him again so it was time he put off all attitudes aimed at scaring them. "I see that this journey has really taught you all a lot. And it is all thanks to me.""I would advise you not to repeat that again. You are not to be appreciated for anything. You brought us all here to die and expect us to be thanking you for leading us to our death. We have lost five good brothers because of you.""But you have become stronger and braver than you were when you started the journey.""It is not because of you so never think as though it is." "Now that is the spirit of my grandson.""Don't you dare call me such. I am not your grandson.""You can't deny it.""I already did. Besides, you first denied me so give me one good reason why I shouldn't deny you in return?""Because...."He wanted to give the reason as Gabriel had asked for but Gabriel shut him out because he di
In the city of Mayca, days have passed after Byron Hass returned from the journey which he embarked with Alan, Quincy and Abby. Yet he had not heard that the messenger who was always coming there while he was away came again. He had waited for so long and no news about him. So he concluded it to be what he thought concerning Sebastian wanting to put fear in him by sending a messenger when he was not around.So it was now time that he go to speak with Sebastian concerning this stupid act of his. So he took him, his two best warriors together with five others and left the house to journey into Gilroy.It was not up to an hour since he left, that the messenger returned again like he used to.Now Aria, hearing that the messenger was back again, she recalled what her husband told her concerning Sebastian wanting to put fear in him. And then she knew that the messenger was always hanging around. So she ordered that the messenger be caught and brought into the house. While she sent two soldi
Now Jacob was panting heavily, sweat had soaked his clothes, fears of death were all over him, so he began to talk. "My master, Lord Monroe, asked me to do this because he wanted you and Sebastian to kill yourselves. He says the two of you are the people standing between him and the throne. According to him, if he succeeds in killing one of you, then the other would not be a problem to him, he would be able to kill the order person with ease.""Very well. What else do you know about his plans? What move is he making in Gilroy towards this plan?""I don't know what move he is making but do know that he also sent someone there, and the person is doing his work towards the success of this plan.""Thank you for your information." Byron appreciated him and then nodded his head for the two soldiers to carry on with his previous instruction."My lord, please.... you promised to spare my life.... Please don't let them kill me." Jacob begged as they were still dragging him out of Byron's prese
Very early the next morning Bond rode into the house of lord Monroe after receiving the message that he should report to the house that day.Monroe was already waiting for his arrival, full of anger in his spirit. So as he was greeted by Bond who came down from the horses he had rode in with. He said, "Who did it happen?!"Bond did not understand the question because he had no idea that Jacob had been executed. His whole thought was that he was only in prison and he was working towards releasing him. "My lord, forgive me but I do not know what you are talking about?""How dare you say you don't know what I am talking about?!" Monroe wanted to act violently but Wagner, who was close to him, held him, telling him to take things slowly, and he kind of listened to his commander."How was Jacob caught and killed?" Wagner asked him as Monroe was not in the mood to ask that question again."Jacob was caught but he is still alive. I am even working towards setting him free.""Will you keep qu
Before the day which they are to meet, Byron had already informed his men about the coming of Sebastian to his city so they were fully prepared, waiting for him to come. It came to pass when Sebastian arrived at the gate of Byron's house with a few men from his city, they were welcomed very well and escorted down to the hall where Byron was already waiting for him."You are here." Byron stands up to welcome him as he is brought in by his men. They shaked hands with each other and Sebastian and his men were asked to sit down. Byron then told those that had brought him to leave, so he was now with Alan and Quincy from his military with Sebastian and the seven men he had come with. Byron was very observant to see that Sebastian had not come there with his commander Erwin, but he did not bother to ask why because he already drew the conclusion why it was so. It only proves to him that Sebastian had left his commander to lead an attack if he did not return. So the only question he asked
When the signing and positioning of the generals were done, four eldest men of Tadeas, one from each city each stood out to make the announcement of who the new king will be, for it was a tradition in Tadeas that the eldest men from each city will come together to put the crown on the head of every new king, and they will pray him before and after doing this, asking that the gods will grant them the wisdom to lead the country in the right and appropriate way that will be pleasing to the whole nation.So the elders held their hands together as they prayed for the crown and the throne, asking that it would not control the king but rather the king should control it. Afterwards, they called forth Dylan Ryan, who the whole people had gathered to watch him being crowned.While he walked up to meet these men, he looked at Gabriel and was surprised that he hadn't brought out the scepter yet, so his mind was beginning to calm down, as he inhaled and exhaled rapidly while climbing up to the thr
In the city of Mayca, at the house of Byron Haas, the message which Sebastian had sent by means of his raven bird got to the soldiers at the gate, and they took it out from the bird, letting it fly back to its city.They knew that every message that came to them by that means and pattern was for lord Byron Haas so they did not bother checking it to confirm who it was for before sending it to Byron, who was still making arrangements for the next day's event. "My lord, there is a message for you." The guard said as he came before Byron.Then she turned and looked at the soldier before asking, "Who is it from?""Lord Sebastian of Gilroy."Then he took the note from his hand to read its contents only to see the inscription that it was not for him, rather it was for Gabriel. So he said to the soldier that had brought. "Take this to Gabriel, he is the one it's for and not me." Then he took it as he confirmed whether it was for Gabriel, before apologizing. "I'm sorry my lord, I thought it
In the city of Cyb, as the day for the coronation of Dylan Ryan drew closer than ever, that was the same his curiosity and anxiety grew the most. He was not as happy as he ought to be because he was still unable to figure out the plan which Byron and Gabriel had. Even though he had made sure his army was strong enough to defend him in case of violence, he still feared that there would not be any march for the plan that Byron had made.His greatest anger was that he had no power backing him up this time and even with the warning of the spirit of the witch, he still did not want to as she had told him. He was bent on winning by all means, but he could already sense failure in the plan he had made.Sensing failure was not still enough to tell him to give up the throne, a greater part of him was telling him that there was no plot against him being crowned king over Tadeas, because his spies had not brought any word telling him such, it was still a presumption in his heart there was a plan
Byron had to speak again, "For the last time, we don't have any plan of which we need your help for it to succeed. In short, there is no plan at all to stop the coronation. Since you and Monroe Howard have refused to come to the realization that Gabriel is the only king Tadeas should have at this point, then he would not fight for any throne. On the day of the coronation, as the country will match to watch Dylan Ryan ascend the throne, that is the same way Gabriel and I along with my men will match to witness the king who you have refused to oppose ascend the throne.""But I am telling you right here that I confess Gabriel as my king and I'm ready to do anything to make sure he ascends the throne in his father's stead."Then Gabriel chose to test him since he had made so much pleading and claims that he is now a new person. "To prove to me that you are not the same as you used to be, you will have to take me to the place where you buried my father. I am quite aware that it was you and
So Byron had to come in without allowing him to go further. "Yes, that reminds me, did you tell Monroe about it? And what was his response?""No, I did not tell him about this because he does not know anything about this, so I did not see the need to disturb him with it because he would not understand a signal word that will come from my mouth.""That means you literally have not done anything about what you know that will lead this country to its doom?""Yes. I did not do anything because there is nothing I can single handedly do. I asked for your help yet you did not consent to it. Meaning that you do not want to do anything about it so I also have to forget about doing anything concerning it. So that we will both watch the country be destroyed because that is what you want by not wanting to help me in confronting Dylan to forfeit his interest."Sebastian was really doing a great job at this point to convince Byron into believing that he was a changed person who would want to see Ga
Byron could see that Sebastian had a point in the two things that he had suspected concerning why they were there in his city, but none of them was correct, so he chose to tell him the reason why he had come into Gilroy but did not get to his house, whether he believes it or not. "Well, I do not doubt your thoughts. You are very justified to think that way but then I have to tell you that none of what you said is correct, nor is it even close to the true reason why we were in your lands.""Then speak up. Tell me why you were there and why you returned?""Of course I will. Actually, we were coming to speak to you, but not concerning what you told us. Instead, it is because of what we heard and needed to know the truth. But before we got to your house, we received word that the reason why we were coming there was already settled, so we had to turn around.""Lies! Pure lies.""It's not a lie.""Then prove it. Prove to me that what you have said about your reason to come into Gilroy is no
Gabriel was not in haste to respond to him as he discerned what he was trying to do. He kept silent as those with him also realized what Monroe was trying to do and they could now see with their own eyes that Monroe deserved to pay for all that he had done.Just as Gabriel was finally about to say something in response to the question that Monroe had asked, Wagner entered into the hall again with the five men he had gone to call for Gabriel and his company."These are the men you seek?" Wagner said.All their attention shifted to theen that had been brought before them. Then Byron said as he suspected something far different from what Monroe had been telling them since they arrived there. "I know you very well Monroe, you are quick to anger and will never let such crime go unpunished, so tell me, why haven't you asked for the execution of these men?" Monroe was dumbfounded, even Wagner that had called them there, what Byron had said was exactly what Monroe Howard would do if he truly
The other people were still down, they did not bother stressing themselves to climb up with him because they knew that he would still come down and when he did, they would know what he was up to.As they saw him coming down with the rate he was using and Enoch following him, they blocked him from walking pass through as they predicted what he was about to do."Gabriel, not now. The right time for this is near." Byron said to him."Please, let me pass. Monroe has done more than enough to be forgiven.""But I just told you that he was not the one that sent his men to abduct me. They acted on their own will without hearing from their master." Abby reminded him of what she had told them earlier."You can never trust that man. Maybe it was a plan which he made with his men, even if it wasn't, he still wants me dead and I have to kill him before he kills me.""Yes, we know, but this is not time, let's give him a little more time to make amends and if he doesn't then we shall execute him."
Then they were happy, thinking that he had thought about what they told him concerning using Abby to get Gabriel to come there. So they stopped and looked at him."Untie her." He commanded. So they loosed the ropes used to tie her hands, also the blindfold was taken off including the mouth which had been covered. Then she could see lord Monroe Howard and she knew that he was innocent of the crime which his men had done because she had heard what he said to them.When she was now loose, Monroe said to her. "What is your name, young lady?""My name is Abby, my lord.""Abby, please forgive my men, they had acted stupidly. I did not give the order to bring you here, instead they had acted on their own will and I am greatly against it. They will take you back home safely. I am truly sorry for the stress it has put you through.""It's okay my lord. Thank you for not adhering to their suggestions. You have proved yourself to be a man of honor and good standard." "Once again, congratulation
