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
The way he left all of them blank, made them curious about what will happen to their country. But he could not continue, "I can't tell what will happen in Tadeas because I have not heard anything about it. Just know that something bad will surely happen to Tadeas.""But the gods promise that once Gabriel is taken, they will show us who our king is, why are they still lingering in showing us who our king is?"Then seer decided to give them a very vital piece of information which they seem to have forgotten, "Do you realize that I am not from Tadeas, so I do not have any communication with your gods. Why don't you ask them by yourself? I have told you only the thing which I have seen as a seer and that is all I can tell you.""Okay, at least, can you tell us which of the cities on Tadeas will the king emerge from?""I do not have that information either. I think I have told you all that I know. There is nothing left that I can tell you. Or else you want me to start talking to you from m
Back to those on the mission to bring the specter back to Tadeas. SmGhet were still in the cave. They had been walking around the whole place for the last two days and they seemed not to be coming to the exit. It was as if they were walking in circles. The cave was more like a tunnel but surely it was a cave and not a tunnel. They believed that there was a way out of the place."I am tired," Frost stopped. He was behind the others as they wandered around surviving the place. Riggs did not understand the term tired in his sentence. He thought it was the usual tiredness which all of them must be feeling so he said. "Then we rest. I am sure we are tired and need to rest. We deserve it."Frost knew that Riggs had misinterpreted the meaning to what he said as he saw all the others going down and sitting on the floor. While he was still standing he said. "No, this is not what I mean. I mean to say that I give up. It's so pointless. We have been walking around this place for the past three
The thinking period lasted for over thirty minutes because anyone who got an idea on what they should do did not air it immediately he got it. They waited until the last one of them stopped thinking. So when they were all done with the thinking and were now sitting on the floor. It was time they heard what they have all come to think out from the quiet time.They spoke one after the other, saying what they felt was best for them to do, and until they were done airing their views, no one objected to any person's opinion. When they had heard from themselves, it was now time for them to make a uniform decision they felt would lead to better results of them leaving the cave for good. At the end of all their discussion, they came to conclude on following the sound which they were following before it disappeared, so it was now left for them to figure out the direction which it was coming from.So their patrolling in the cave continued, just that this time, they kind of had a common directi
Gabriel and Riggs looked behind to check if they would see the monster that had thrown that tree, but whatever threw it was still out of sight, so Riggs said as he concluded that the monster was still a lot far from them. "Keep moving, but watch out because another tree may be thrown again."Just as he finished his words, they saw another one falling from the sky, and seen it was seen before hand, they all dodged it and none of them was a victim as they continued to run with their eyes up and behind to know when and where another tree would be discerning from so they will dodge it on time before is hits any of them.They continued the race like this until they came out of the woods into barren land where there was neither a tree nor grass. But it was not a desert and the land could be made productive if only someone would cultivate on it.Even as they were out of the forest, some uprooted trees were still thrown towards them, yet they hadn't seen what was uprooting and throwing those
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
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
