Paths to destiny. Chapter 166. The deed has been done.
Now Gross also noticed this attempt to disappear, and he could not wait for Gabriel to make any decision, he had to act on his own will as he tried to knock her to the ground.But the fact that her powers could not let her vanish, it allowed her the privilege of manipulating him. She caused him to cease, as he instantly became paralyzed and fell to the ground. All his leg bones and joints became weak and unable to carry his body.It was now that Gabriel believed what Enoch was telling him, concerning the old woman being a mortal witch. So he made his attack to get her but it was too late, despite her age, she got an extraordinary speed of which she ran off with."No Gross, you need to get up." Enoch was with Gross on the ground, while Gabriel made this attempt to go after her. "You need to gather that strength back.""I can't feel my legs, Enoch." Gross was crying.Enoch beat him on both legs so that he would feel them again but it was not working. So he called for Gabriel who was sti

The witch looked at his ferrous eyes and said to him, "It's Gabriel, the true heir to the throne." "That is a lie. Gabriel is dead, he died the moment he embarked on that journey into the world of the gods and monsters." Dylan could not believe what he heard. "That is what you think, but I tell you that Gabriel is alive. He and two others." "But how? How is that possible? How could they have survived for so long in that dreadful place? Tell me you are joking. Tell me it is a lie." "You are asking me to lie to you, but that will not help you." She refused to say what he wanted to hear. "I have told you the truth and it can not be changed. Gabriel is alive and he bears with him the specter of authority. The specter of his fathers before him." "No, no, no," Dylan still refused to believe it because it does not sound clear in his ears, he needed a breakdown of how they had survived till that time. The witch read his mind and knew what he wanted to hear, so she began, "You are asking

In all, after a few minutes of silence and lack of words, Byron said to maintain his authority and supremacy over Mayca. "Why do you care? They are my men and they answer to me alone. So I owe you no explanation of where they went to or what happened to them.""I admire your boldness.""You are the one surprising me with your boldness." Byron put it to him."It's alright. Let's say you are right. You owe me no explanation, but once I am king, that explanation must be heard and you will not do anything without my knowledge." Dylan said with full certainty that he will be king because the witch had promised him that."Wait till we are done with the duel before you start parading yourself as king.""Of course I am waiting to see what you are capable of." Dylan answered him and then turned away towards the gate to leave his base.Byron did not say anything to further the conversation. He only watched him as he walked away with the company of men he had come with.After he had departed fro
Paths to destiny. Chapter 169. The gift.
Due to Byron's pleading concerning not having time to go into all the things that the seer was asking him to go into, the seer reasoned with him, it was not new to him that they truly did not have much time to go through all that, so he chose to save the stress. Thus he looked at Quincy, saying. "Tell us what you have in mind." He chose to use those words instead of using the right words, which is, tell us what the gods have told you. And that was because he knew that if he said what the gods had told you, Quincy would say there was nothing he had heard from the gods. Quincy was fond of concluding that it was his inner man that was speaking to him. He never believed that the gods were speaking to him 'because he sees himself as being unworthy to hear from the divine.Hearing the words from the seer, even if it was twisted, they knew that instant that whatever Quincy had in mind was what the gods had told him, therefore the aim of using the wrong word was not achieved.Well, Quincy ha
Paths to destiny. Chapter 170. Call it off.
After a long time of waiting for Quincy to speak without him saying anything, the seer had to say again. "I know this is very difficult for you, but you have to tell us what the gods told you. If I was told, then there would be no need wasting your time here. You were the ones that said you don't have all the time in the world."While he was still talking, Quincy then opened his mouth and words began to proceed out of it. "The gods wanted to keep us busy, and apart from that, Gabriel had no faith of coming back alive, so they waited for him to die before choosing a new king from amongst the people. They could not appoint another king when the heir was still alive. But now, faith has been restored in Gabriel that is why they are letting us know that he is still alive although there is someone and some spirits that are trying very hard to kill him and stop him from coming back.""How many are coming back with Gabriel?" Alan asked."That can not be revealed to us." The seer answered him
Paths to destiny. Chapter 171. The dream.
At first she was afraid of saying what she had dreamt about, but since he would not want to do as she had said without hearing what she dreamt, then she had to tell him about it. "Lord Dylan Ryan killed you in the duel. He made it look like a mistake but it definitely was not a mistake. After he ascended the throne, I saw him talking to an unknown person about it. And it was never exposed that what happened was a mistake." Now after hearing about this awful dream, he asked one more question. "Since I can not call off the duel, how will pushing it forward stop this revelation?" "His plan has an expiry date, once it passes the date of the already fixed date for the duel, whatever this plan he had made will no longer be favorable unless he makes a fresh plan altogether." Hearing this now, Byron instantly had an idea of what to do to make the duel polished forward so he appreciated Abby for the heads up. "Thank you very much for this information. I know exactly what to do." "Please my

Since he has confirmed what was whispered to him and was also asked a question in line with it. He proceeded with telling them the other things told to him by the gods and also answering the question put before him. "It's not just a strange person, my lord. That is the person behind lord Dylan's domination in the country. He had acquired some powers from a witch and that is why he seems to have power in the country's affairs. He has a mysterious bracelet in his right wrist and that has been his confidence in winning the duel.""A bracelet of power!""Yes. For the duel to be a fair one, you must seek means to ensure that the bracelet is taken off from his hands before the duel begins.""Are you saying that if that bracelet is taken off from his hands, then whatever plan he has to kill me during the duel will also be canceled?""They are very similar. Without the bracelet in his hand, then he would not be able to win the duel or even hurt you."Alan then said, "I think what should be do
Paths to destiny. Chapter 173. You again!
After a very long time of weeping in secret for the bracelet that was cut as he remembers all the instructions given to him by the witch concerning the bracelet. Then his mind then came to the awareness that Byron cut the bracelet on purpose. That it was his mission there in his house, but what he could not understand was how he was able to know what he wore in his hands.He knew that he had messed up by allowing himself to be fooled by Byron but he had to get up and see what he could do. So he journeyed to the cave of the witch and met her in the usual way. He started by apologizing to her because he was sure she had seen the reason for his coming there. "I'm very sorry. I was fooled by Byron and now I am seriously in need of your help. I know there is something you can do to make sure I win the duel. Please help me."She looked up at him after he had paused for a minute. "There is nothing I can do. You chose to take a bracelet of power and incredible strength. You can remember very

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

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
