Eric on his part was also surprised at how he was making that possible. He did not understand how he was able to cast those spells with ease. To him everything seemed to be a dream because he could not recall himself practicing how to cast those spells. Everything concerning the powers was happening like a dream to him, even the actions and words he said to bring those powers to reality was another thing on its own which he could not explain as none was planned by him. Nevertheless, he made sure he did not make it known to the orc that what he was doing was done unconsciously else it would make the orc seek more means to escape again. This was just a simple application of wisdom that needed no special teaching. So in response to the demand of Eric asking the orc to repeat itself, the orc chose to say. "Let's get going... We don't have all the time." It preferred to say this instead of asking Eric to tell it how he managed to master his power to that level. "Better." Eric replied, "D
Eric did not understand what it said so he asked in a very curious manner. "What do you mean by that? What is that supposed to mean?!" He blurted out with anger and in a haste, thus he did not know when he repeated the same question in two different sentences. It was even as though he was going to use another phrase to repeat the question once again. But the orc had to start talking, thereby causing him to pause. "This was the stop where I last saw him." Hearing this response from the orc, what to say was not lacking in his mouth, he immediately said again. "And how is that supposed to be any of my business? I asked you to take me to Zachary and not to bring me to the last place where you saw him. Is that understood?" "I ran away from him when we crossed paths without one another here, so how am I supposed to know where he had gone?" The orc was now asking him. But that's none of Eric's business, "Are you going to do as I said or you will have me slay you and continue with the jou
Now the pressure was too much and the proof that death was sure if it failed to speak the truth for the last time. So the orc did not have the strong heart to keep lying. It blurted out at once, as he pointed towards a route different from the one it wanted to lead Eric into in the first place. "He went that way..." Then Eric looked at the route which the orc had pointed. He observed it for a few minutes as he looked at the orc too, looking for the slightest signs to tell that what it had said was false. Due to the stare at both the orc and direction in question, he was able to see that of a truth the orc was not lying again. So he said as his mood changed from being very serious to the normal way again. "I always knew that there was a way to make you talk. Now lead the way." Immediately, the orc exhaled heavily as its heart was already gone due to fear because it thought that Eric would not believe it even as it had told the truth about where Zach had gone. It took some time before
Now the orc had successfully given a very good and convincing answer to Eric but that was not enough to cause him to follow it into the cave once again. "I love your responses, but my heart tells me not to go in there again." "What about your friend? He is still in there… don't tell me you are going to leave him to die inside the cave?" "It's none of your business what I choose to happen to him." Eric blurted out before reasoning what he had said. The orc was shocked to hear that come from Eric, it now saw those words as its chance. "Eric… I can't believe you are saying this… what would Zach think of you? He would have gone back into the cave to find you but here you are saying you don't care what happened to him." It said those words to make Eric feel guilty and also to propel him into doing what it wants him to do. "Stop it!!" Eric scolded it. He knew what the orc was doing by saying those words. "Your words would not make me do what I don't want to do. We are not going into the
“Quiet! Zach is a pathfinder; he is able to find his way out of the cave. In short, he is out here. He is no longer inside that god forsaken place.” Eric now said with a lot of boldness that the orc could now tell that it can not deceive him again. Telling Eric that Zach was inside the cave was the option it had to make him go into the cave and now that he had confirmed that Eric would not believe a word about Zach still being inside the cave. It was over. Continuing the journey was all it was left with. The orc was only moving its eyes from staring at Eric and the rock where it was tied to. It did know what to do again. It said within it, telling itself that it had failed completely in the mission which it took upon itself. At this juncture it had to sit down on the floor with a lot of thoughts going through its mind. While it sat on the ground thinking, Eric used that opportunity to look around the place, as he looked out for movement. Full of disappointment, it had to find somethin
While the captain of what else to say, one of the soldiers that was close had to make a request as he could see that the king needed all hands to be on deck. “Permit me to speak, your majesty?” “Sure, you are free to speak.” King Luca answered at once, giving him the permission he was asking for. “Thanks my lord,” he appreciated first before hitting the point he wanted to make. “I am of the opinion that we go into the city without our riders. Let’s sneak into the city and help our people sneak out too in the same way we will sneak in.” He made some points in his words, that the king had to take it into consideration as he looked up towards the city once again. He looked at the creatures that they were to hide from and was able to tell that it would be a very difficult thing for them to sneak in as the soldier had suggested without being seen. In spite of this, he was able to take one thing which the soldier had said and that was the talk of leaving their horses behind because going
With the way the fight was going and the fall of one ogre which had been cut mercilessly to the extent that it could not stand again, the others had to look for ways to flee for their lives because they could see that the humans had out smart them this time. Thus they needed to leave for reinforcement. there was not a way the city of Newgriffin was theirs that day. Even as they took their hills, the soldiers did not just give up knowing very well that they had won that day. They kept striking till they were able to bring more two ogres down, letting only seven to escape. At least that way it would take the monster longer time to before they make another attack because they will have to prepare very well. Though they might have won that day, the king knew the ones the escaped were surely going to return in a stronger force which they may not be able to withstand, so he had to put his mind on how to strengthen his army the more and cause them to be ready for the worse. With the parti
Now Morgan did not need to say the word ‘attack’ before they moved out against the enemy. What he did was to make the first move himself, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit. While the foot soldiers attacked the creatures, the archers did not cease to fire their arrows as that was the only way they could help. They were not shooting these arrows in the form of rain as they would usually do, rather they made sure to aim before shooting in order to avoid hitting their own. With all hands on deck the few ogres that had gathered the morale to enter the city were wiped out in due time. Though they lost some men amongst the foot soldiers who were with General Morgan Elliot. No matter what, victory had to be celebrated because it was never easy to win the ogres in a fight adding to the fact that they did not lose so many lives as expected by both the civilians and soldiers. After the fight, that was when words were sent to the king and other leaders in the country, telling them abou
