Enoch had to bring something to Colin's knowledge. He has been thinking about this ever since they stopped to talk. "Colin, do you know that the spirits can open our eyes to see what we are up against just as it has opened the eyes of Gross to see that Elmer Banks is not who we think him to be.""I like the fact that you made use of the conditional word 'if' that means there is also a bigger probability that such would not happen.""Why can't you just look at things on the positive side?" Gabriel was not getting fed up with the attitude which Colin had developed.But Colin did not care what they thought, and as for the question which Gabriel asked, he had an answer for it just as he had an answer for everything else. "If you want to talk about the person who thinks and talks positive the most, you know that I am the one. None of you can brag about that because it is the truth. And you have also supported me when I talk positively. Besides, I do not see any negativity in what I am sayi

Just as expected, behind the gate was another realm, totally different from where they were coming from. The whole place was full of rocks, any little thing would cause the rocks to fall so one needed to remind them that they should avoid the walls.Aside from the rocks, the whole place was damned, as the name implies, it was an underworld, so the environment was dark, so there was a need for an external light. Thus, they had to search for tools which they would use in making fire to aid their vision. But through the search, they could not find anything other than rocks. Thus they had to continue the journey without additional light. As they proceeded on through the underworld, they began to feel great heat in the environment, and soon they were able to figure out that the heat which was being felt was coming from the rocks. Sparkles of fire swere being proceeded from the rocks as though they were being cracked together. The temperature of the place became so hot that their throats

After jumping over three rocks, leaving the last one before he got across to meet his mother, he said, "I am here now, come on." This was when she made the jump, as he said, "Careful.""Yes son.""Now, just another jump and I will grab you." he said as he stretched out his hand for her to take his arm.Just as she was about to grab his hands and make the jump to the rock he was standing on, his eyes opened to see an ugly face that was not the face of his mother whom he had been seeing all this while. But before he would withdraw his hands so that she would not grab it for only her new look was very scary to him. She had already grabbed his hands and so on the attempt to let go, she dragged him into the boiling red steam of fire."Colin.....!" the others who were at the shore screamed in sorrow. They did not see the new look of the woman before they were into the steam so they took it to be just a misplacement of step.Yet, there was something amazing to them, the river that seemed not

In course of them sleeping, Gross who seemed to be so strong to keep watch could no longer stay awake for so long due to the quietness of the place because his friends were sleeping and he was bored, so he also feel dizzy and did not know when he was carried away by the enemy and friend called sleep.After a very long time of sleeping, Gabriel opened his eyes and he was shocked to see that there was no one keeping watch. Then he looked around and also noticed that they were not the place where they had fallen asleep. They were still together, but the enevi had changed, he could see some lamps that were burning in the distance, and it was obvious that the lamp was being held up by somebody but he could not recognize who it was and fear gripped him.Though the lamp was burning but he was like a shadow the light of the lamp could not make him visible and this was the major reason that got Gabriel afraid. Soon the person with this lamp spotted him and began to walk towards him. Gabriel w
Paths to destiny. Chapter 126. The true story.
When they had finally gotten to the place where Newton Ken was leading them, they had ill feelings about the place but since they had followed him thus far, there was no need arguing over entering a spirit building because if he had wanted to kill them since then he would have done that before then.When they had entered the building and were seated, Riggs and Gross who were eager to know what Newton had to tell them about the death of his father and brothers said, "Now that we are here, can you please go ahead with the story you want to tell us.""Are you ready to hear the truth? Are you sure you can handle the truth?""Yes my lord, we are ready.""Father, please tell us. We want to know." "Okay, first of all, my father, King Rodgers Chung, was poisoned to death. Yes he was sick but he was recovering but some people did not want him to get up from his sick bed that was why they killed him.""Who are these people? Tell us their names." Gross asked."The one called the serpent."And a

"I have no need to hide anything from you. After the attempt to kill me, I lost my memory for a few months. It took six months for me to fully remember who I was and where I was from." He said to them, "Some hunters from Gytle were the ones that found and brought me from the battlefield into their town. And I start with them till I remember everything about myself but I did not tell anyone about even when I remember who I was.""Why?!" Gabriel asked him. "Why didn't you tell them who you were, instead you chose to still live in lies despite what they had done for you?""I would have told them, but I had my reason for not telling them.""I know. You always have your reason, that is why I am asking to know what your reasoning is?" Gabriel sounded that way because his father told him about having a reason why he did not want him to go to Tadeas and he later figured out what that reason was, but for what he was just saying now, he had not known the reason behind it and it will be impossib

So Gross how to explain their mission better began, "Gabriel was asked to embark on a journey to return the lost specter before they would bow to him as their King. So we decided to accompany him on this journey.""And how has that got you into the underworld? Who told you that this is a path to finding the specter you seek? Was it also those evil generals?""Actually, we have been on this journey for so long. We have even lost count of how long it has been since we left Tadeas.""You still haven't answered my question. I am asking why you are here in the underworld. Did anyone tell you that you will find the specter of authority here?"Gabriel had to reply to his father this time with a question. "If I am understanding you very well, you are saying that we can not find the lost specter here?""That is still not the answer to my question.""Yes, I know but please father, if you say the specter is not here in the underworld, I am pleading that you tell us where to find it so that we wi

Now they were shaking with fear. His words had already proved to them that he was not on their side. Therefore he had been fooling them all this while and they have been caught in his web with no way out.Gabriel was now trying to bring about a sense of reasoning to him but he was not a man to think like men. "Father, please do not do this. It's your son. At least for my sake, spare their lives. It is me that you spirits want. So many have died because of me, please like not another soul be taken because of me. Take me but spare my friends. Show them the way back home.""You are wasting your time. Answer my questions because you are running out of time."The way he spoke without feeling all that Gabriel had been saying was enough to tell them they were wasting time thinking he would listen to their pleas.Enoch, who was most afraid could not keep silent anymore, he had to start answering the question, "We are here to face the god of the underworld. We read a map and it tells us that t

Chapter 196. A new era.
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

Chapter 195. Coronation day.
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

Chapter 194. Sensing failure.
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

Chapter 193. Regrets.
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

Chapter 192. Trustworthy.
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

Chapter 191. Pure lies.
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

Chapter 190. Quiting pretense.
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."

Chapter 188. Abby's release.
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
