It was noon that same day after one of Byron's men had gone and brought words about the confirmation whether Abby knew any seer as Aria had thought and predicted. So the later finding and report of this soldier was that she knew one.So now that Byron had gotten the information that he needed, it was now time for him to go over to the house of Abby to know where he could find this seer which she calmed knowing.As Abby opened the door of her house, she was surprised to see Byron, "My lord, what brings you to my house? To what do I owe this honor?""Will you let me in before asking why I have come?"Abby looked and was surprised that he had come alone, not even one soldier came with him as an escort, not Alan, his new best warrior. So she had the feeling that what brought him there was something very secretive and that he would not like anybody to ever see him alone. "Sorry my lord, please come inside," she leaves the way, granting him passage into her house. "Please have a seat," she
Byron was amazed at how she has refused to tell him about the seer unless she goes with him, and he was very much aware that most times seeing a seer could be very dangerous so he did not want to risk her such. "Abby, please understand that seeing somewhere like this is very risky so I don't want anything to happen to you that is why I am asking you to stay back.""I know that it could go bad and that is why I haven't gone all these while because there was no one to go with me, so now that you are going, I will be joining you. Whereas, why should I be bothered about things going wrong when I am with you and your men?"Abby had proved her point to him but he could not agree to it. He wouldn't want her to go with him, plus that he was not even intending to go with any of his men. So he wanted to focus on protecting himself alone and not carry someone that might be of a burden to him. "In that case, I am not going anymore." Byron said as he stood up to leave, thinking that Abby would ca
It was noon the next day, when Byron sent the soldier again to Abby's house to get the information he needed. But when Abby saw him, before he would even state his purpose there, she asked based on what she thought he was there for. "Welcome sir, I am sure lord Byron sent you to bring me to his house. You will give me some minutes to prepare. I promise it won't take long."The soldier was surprised because of the words she spoke, it was totally off point. It had no relationship with his purpose there. "Slow down, miss....""Wait.... you are not here to take me to the house of lord Byron?""No, that is not what I am here for.""Then why are you here if it's not lord Byron that has sent you to me?" She was not as happy as she was when he came in again as she sat on a chair."Don't you remember me?""Sorry, but how else do you want me to remember you other than that you are one of the soldiers of Mayca?""No, that is not the memory I am talking about.""Then tell me the type you are talk
After Quincy left, Byron Hass was now left to think about what he had said, it appeared to be true everything he said. Since Abby wanted to go with him, he had to take some men with him, after all he had nothing to lose in doing so.When he was done with this meditation, he called Quincy again and told him to go and bring Abby to the house.As Abby saw him returning again after quite a few hours, she was happy as her mind now told her that he was really telling the truth and now she would have to see the seer and the answers to her one queries.She was surprised when Quincy told her that lord Byron had asked her to come over to the house. She then knew that Quincy had lied about him coming on his own and wanting to see the seer. But then she decides not to conclude yet since he had not confessed to this, and also because he had come with another soldier to pick her up.As she got to the house to Byron, that was when she now finalized on her thoughts and what to believe. It was now cle
When the night began to fall and they got to a spot, Abby said, "This is the place."They were surprised why she would say that was the place, they were in the middle of nowhere, the place looked deserted. It was not like someone lived around the area."What do you mean this is the place?" Byron asked her without hesitating."This is where the seer stays, he told me it is somewhere around here.""But there is neither a building nor a tent in this place." Alan pointed out to her. It was more like a reminder because he felt that she had forgotten that they were in farmland that seemed to be abandoned by the owners."Yes, I know but this is where I saw him and he gave me directions on where to go. When I asked where he stays so that I can come and thank properly, he told me it's a few blocks ahead due east."They all were not liking what they were seeing and hearing at all. It made their ears tingling and anger seemed to rise in them. But they tried to control it and keep following her d
They spent some time inside the house as they shifted from why they were there and began to check the things inside. There were all kinds of things inside the hut. All the things one could imagine to find in such an old building were all seen there. But in all, there was not a single cobweb. The place was scattered no doubt but it was without dust. All the items found inside were clean. Due to this fact that the place should be covered with dirt and cobwebs but wasn't, there was now a feeling that somebody was living in the house despite the oldness and untidiness of the inside."Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Alan said.And Byron answered as he believed they should all be thinking the same thing. "I think someone is really living here.""Should we wait for the person?" Quincy asked as he looked at the two of them."What do you think?" Byron now had to ask Alan because he had come to now welcome his suggestions, so he believed that he would have a good one."I'd say we wait out
Then they knocked thrice on the door before a voice answered from inside the house, it was the voice of a human being and their panicking minds were made to be eased.The voice said, "Come in and stop disturbing my door before you break it."So Alan slowly pushed the door open and they walked in with fear and trembling even though they were armed."I have been waiting for you. You were the ones that tampered with my stuff."Now this word caused them to be very afraid as they felt and believed that they were in trouble. They had only entered the house but did displace anything for him to know that they were in there.The man noticed their shock and fear. "You thought I would not know when strangers entered my dwelling? Your smell was left behind."Now he was not seeming to be a seer to them, the way the man spoke, it was proved to them that he was more than a seer. So Byron whispered to Abby, "Is he the one?""Yes. It's him.""You!" The man pointed at Abby as she answered Byron's quest
Then the seer did as if he was going to attack Alan just to see how he would react to his move. The others that were still on their knees were now watching to see what would happen. Byron had given Alan countless signals to stop challenging the man. He had the feeling that due to how the seer was talking, he had these magical powers that were able to make alive and also kill.The seer on his part was focused on Alan as he made this strange move. He fixed his whole attention on Alan to see whether he was going to stake in fear and join the others in begging him. But Alan showed no atom of fear that would make the seer feel so powerful over him. He was just focused on seeing the man make the move he thought he could make. Those who were in fear were now invisible to the seer.After humming some words that were unclear to them, just to make Alan afraid, he saw that instead of those humming that seemed to be incantations were nothing to Alan, all his focus was on the end point of his humm
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
