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
Five men walked into a neighborhood which had just been savaged. The inhabitants of the place have all been killed. Also there were dead bodies of not only civilians. The soldiers that had attacked the place were also killed in a great number. The men were led by Byron Haas and Kevin Hodge. They were on mufti but their appearance told anyone who saw them that they were trained soldiers. Mighty men in battle. As they saw corpses littered all over the neighborhood, Byron said to the others. "Ceevah soldiers were here before. Check for survivors. There should be someone who would give us news about Ronald Rodgers." At once they all began to check the corpses for either a survivor or even Ronald who they were looking for. As they searched coming close to a tent, a young, angry youth came out holding tight onto a sword. He was about twenty years of age and did not look much like a warrior, but the manner in which he held the sword told them that he had jus
Now Gabriel had to journey throughout the night and came before the country of Tadeas at noon the following day. As he crossed the boundary into Tadeas through the northern part of the country which was the city of Ceevah. Entering the city, many thought of him to be a buyer so the multitude of trades who were along the path began to call for his attention, along with others who had entered the city together with him. It was their market place, so it was busy as usual. Since he was not there for the purpose of trade, he just ignored the calls from traders as he walked the market looking around the whole place. But he never made himself seem to people that he was coming there for the first time in life. So he just acted as though he had not seen the goods he wanted while he survived the place. He was now getting to the end of the market which led into the main town yet he had not stopped by any of the traders to negotiate for goods although many were c
About a few minutes later, the soldiers who had entered the inn to search the place came out again and one said to the captain that led them, "Sir, he's not here." Then the captain turned to the woman who had brought them the news about him, and from the look in his eyes, the woman knew what he wanted to ask, so she said, "Believe me sir, there is a young man from Gytle in our midst. I personally directed him to this inn." "Did you just hear from the horse's mouth?" The captain turned to the inn owner. "So you had better provide him. Or better still tell us where you hid him." "I am telling the truth sir. There is no one from Gytle in my inn." The inn master continued to beg even though deaf ears were paid to his plea. Meanwhile, Gabriel, who had left the rooms in the inn and was now hiding by the corners of the road, watched the soldiers as they threatened the inn master. And after a few seconds, he left the spot where he was hiding so that he wouldn
Mueller took note of the sudden tension which Gabriel had while the girl walked close to the spot where they were. "Good morning," the girl greeted. "How are you doing today, Abby?" "Fine pa. I see you have a visitor, maybe I should give you some privacy." "O! This is Gabriel, he was just passing by. Gabriel meet my granddaughter, Abby." "Nice to meet you, Abby. Anyway, I was already on my way so there's nothing to worry about." Gabriel continued to the exit and left the house. As he left the house, his spirit caused him not to go far from the house so he just hung around the premises. This was because his spirit had identified and accepted her to be of great help in his quest, and for the first time, the last words of his dying father were not heard in his head so he believed that Abby was the one who could help with information. Even though his spirit had aligned with her, he was having this doubt that she would not have the
After the long silence in the room, Mueller raised his face and looked at Gabriel. "I guess you are here to seek revenge for your friends?" "That would be after I have discovered who they truly were and why they were killed. If for no good reason, then I'll have to avenge their death." "Take my advice son, you can't avenge their death. So just return to Gytle. Continue your life as though it never happened. The people you are after are not easy to kill. In short, you can't defeat them all by yourself. Even if you gather all the men from Gytle, you still can not get the revenge you seek." Those words interpreted one thing. His father was not worthy of death. He was innocent of all possible crimes. But Gabriel was not yet satisfied, he wanted a better explanation of who his father was. "Are you saying they were killed for no good reason?" Mueller nodded. "Why were they killed?" "I'm sure you don't want to know because you won't like it a
Mueller and Abby were now at the home of Byron Haas the following day, since Abby was unable to trace Gabriel. Byron had welcomed them warmly and they were all sitting in his parlor together with Kevin Hodge who Byron had invited to bear witness of what they were about to say. After a drink was presented before Mueller and Abby by one of the maidservants of Byron, and Mueller had just taken a little sip from the cup. Byron asked, "You said there was something of high importance which you wanted to tell me?" "Yes, there is." Mueller drops the cup. "We found Ronald's son. He was at our home yesterday." "Please sir, don't joke with matters like this." Byron said, giving Mueller the maximum respect he needed as an elderly ma
Now Gabriel was back in Mayca. He had returned to the house Mueller to take refuge since they were the only ones who seemed nice to him. As he knocked on the door, Abby came to answer the knock. "Oh! It is you again? You are back?" Abby was shocked at seeing. "Can I come in?" Gabriel was in panic as he turned his next around to make sure no one was spying on him. Abby noticed his strange attitude and he kind of made her scared. "What is the matter?" She was still standing between the entrance. "Am I no longer welcome as you told me?" "Sure… sure… come in." She gave way and he walked into the house. Then Abby took around the surroundings, checking for something suspicious and she couldn't spot any. So she shut the door. "You must be tasty? Let me get you some water to drink." "Where is your grandfather?" Gabriel asked as she headed for the kitchen door. "He is at the back as always." It was morning
