Stuck in my Game World. 120. Always a way.
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
Stuck in my Game World. 121. What do you take me for?
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
Stuck in my Game World. 124. Attack on Ironbrook.
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
Stuck in my Game World. 126. A call for help.
Since it has been two days since they came out of the cave without seeing Zach, Eric now said to himself as he gave up the hope that Zach was ever coming out of the cave any time soon. “I promise to bring your son back to Palind. I will make sure he is safe and taken back to his father's land. Your lineage must continue, I promise.” He said this, taking his mind slowly away from the thought of his beloved daughter who was responsible for their actions he had been talking about lately. His mind shifted a little from his daughter as he believed that that was one of the things he had to do in order to get back to his daughter too. “Did you say something to me, master?” the orc asked him as it heard him speak though it did not know what he had said that was why it was asking so as to know if what he said had anything to do with it. Eric then looked up at it and said, “It is high time we leave this place. Lead the way to your master Zagthak. Harris have been held hostage for too long.” T

The orc was happy that Eric was leaving it there, therefore it was now free from its bondage. It did not make the move to run off immediately so that it will not draw the attention of Eric. Thus, it maintained a static position for some time as it watched Eric leave it alone. Now after some minutes when Eric was out of sight, it now felt free and had to run away so that Eric would not find it there when he comes back, that was when it noticed that it was tied to a tree and out of annoyance and it's failure to notice this, it raised its voice crying. "Noooo….!!!" It turned to the tree which it had been tied to and was in deep pain as it tried to set itself free yet to no avail because it was tied by magic and could only be loose by magic. This was the moment it then understood what Eric meant by 'it made its choice' it was now clear to it that Eric had tied it there with those words, yet did not make it obvious to it else it would have pleaded for mercy and chosen to follow him to where

192. The number one game.
On Eric's side, he didn't expect that question to be asked, but since it was asked, he could not answer it, so he simply said. "Don't worry baby, everything will be fine. The police are there to protect you and your aunt Lauren." "From who?" She asked again. "From some very bad people." He answered, in order for her to ask another question, he added. "Can you give your aunt the phone?" "Eric, what's going on?" Lauren asked as soon as he received the phone from Jodie. "I promise I'll explain everything to you when I am bad. Just be rest assured that I am not the one they are protecting you from. It's very complicated but I promise you will understand after I've explained everything to you." "Okay bro." "Please be safe and keep Jodie safe." Eric pleaded as they said goodbye. **** Towards evening the next day, Eric Claus and Chase Stevens were called to the police station by the detective and on their arrival, the detective took them to meet a new prisoner under their custody.

191. Endangered lives.
It took almost over five hours before the detective in charge of interrogating the suspect came out to meet Eric Claus and Chase Stevens in the police station. "I thought you were asked to leave?" he asked, to my surprise. His question called their attention, so they looked up in shock but without fear since they had committed no offense by staying. "Well," Chase began as he searched for the right words to say that would make the detective understand their reason for not going home as they were asked to. "We just couldn't leave." he said, still unable to find the best words. Eric had to help him out at this point even though he was not totally in support of them staying there for that long. "Were you people able to force the truth out of him? I just can't go home knowing that someone wants me dead and probably why?" That was a good reason to defend and justify their refusal to leave the station and the detective understood quite well so he did have to press further. "Well, you two

190. The arrest.
“Just before you woke up,” Chase began, “He told Lauren and I that he would be removing you from life support because his test showed that you would never wake up again. But upon coming to see you in the ward, we found you awake, that is to say he has found out that you would be waking up any time soon so he wanted to prevent it from happening. When I asked him how it was possible that someone who he presumed to never wake up again was awake and sound, he said he didn’t know and would do some research that would explain it scientifically. He still has not given any response with the claim that he was still doing his research with some of his colleagues.” Now Eric was getting a clear understanding of something that he never put into consideration before now. It was now clear to him why he had to leave the world of Palind, letting them complete the fight which was supposed to be concluded before his departure. So he had no reason to doubt the words and suspicions of Chase. “In that cas

189. Discharged.
The doctor ran another test on Eric Claus early the next morning to confirm whether he was fully fit to leave the hospital and still his results were positive that he did not see any other reason to keep Eric there in the hospital. So he had to break the good news about his discharge so he could prepare to go home. Towards the evening hours of the day, Chase was there with Lauren and Jodie to pick Eric from the hospital and take home. While Lauren and Jodie were with Eric in the room putting together his stuff for departure, Chase went to see the doctor. After a knock on the office door, he was asked to come in and the doctor was instantly eclipsed with shock. Immediately he saw that it was Chase who had come to his office. He knew they were done with all formalities already and he shouldn’t be there again. “Oh, Mr. Chase, is it you again? Hope all is well?” the doctor said while trying to hide his freight. “Yes,” Chase walked up to the desk and with an eye gesture he asked if he c

188. Funny but true.
When he came into the room Eric was still gusting and laughing with his sister and daughter, Chase did not intend to disrupt that moment knowing how much such a moment felt for the family. “I am happy to see such smiles on your faces,” Chase said, “Permission to share at this moment?” “Sure you are free.” Eric answered with gladness. The fun moment lasted for a couple of hours, until it was getting late, so Lauren had to take Jodie home since they came right from school. “Jodie, I guess we should get going now.” “No, I want to spend more time with my dad.” Jodie refused because she didn’t want that moment to end. She was also scared that her father would go into a coma again. “Come on… you will have the time you want with him, he is not going anywhere. Besides, you haven’t gotten home since you closed from school today and you still have homework and school tomorrow.” Lauren gave her some reasons why they have to go home. Eric was quite happy to hear that Jodie has been going to

187. Awake.
Due to the looks on both Lauren and Chase’s face, the doctor could tell what they were thinking but he could not concur with it. “That is not possible.” He opened the door and to his greatest surprise, it was exactly as he had read from the faces of Chase and Lauren, so he froze at the entrance. Seeing the manner in which the doctor became static, Chase and Lauren looked into the room, lo and behold, it was Eric Claus awake and talking to his daughter Jodie Eric. They too could not move for a moment and were short of words to say until Jodie saw them standing static at the door post and said. “Aunt Lauren, look, dad is awake.” “Of course he is…” Lauren replied as he slowly took some steps closer to the bed Eric was lying on. Eric then turned to the door and saw both his boss and the doctor. He was surprised to see Chase Stevens there instead of being in the company. He knew quite well what happened to him and did not need much explanation from them, he only asked one question perta

186. Reality.
The monitor attached to Eric Claus began to beep loudly, alerting the nurses and medical personnel nearby to hurriedly come check on him and find out what was the cause of the sudden beeping of the monitor. The first nurse that ran in noticed his temperature was burning beyond normal and it was something beyond her skills so she rushed out to call the doctor in charge of his treatment while another nurse that followed after her tried to stabilize the situation pending the doctor’s arrival. In a few minutes the doctor came in to check on him and saw that it was more than a normal burning for someone in his condition, and something he hasn’t seen before throughout his entire career, but that was not going to prevent from running some quick test on him. The tests were all reporting strange feedback as they stabilized him with an injection to stop the burning. Soon he began to sweat which was still strange to the professionals. “He is dying,” The doctor gave the only explanation he co

185. Tricked.
After the conversation and argument had come to an end by those words of Eric, the four of them came out of the room to meet General Aaron Gordon, General Morgan Elliot and Prince Reece Cole who were waiting for them outside. “Let’s move out.” King Luca gave the command which they have all been waiting for all these while. Afterwards they got their horses and led the soldiers out of the city of Griffins. Harris had not taken his mind off from what Eric told him, so he was still waiting to hear the outcome of Eric’s discussion with his father. So as they headed for the city of Ironbrook, he rushed forward, coming close to his father and asked in a low tune since he also thought it to be a secret. “Father, how did it go?” Zach’s mind was no longer on that, he did not perceive Harris to keep thinking of that, so he asked back as he looked into his son’s eyes curiously. “How did what go?” Still wanting to keep it a secret, Harris did not answer that question with words but with an ey

184. The argument.
After Harris was out of sight, Zachary Hawkins changed the pretentious discussion. “The King will now see you Eric.” “Okay.” Eric said as they both head to meet with King Luca Cole. In a couple of minutes they were in the king’s presence and Eric said. “Your majesty, you asked to speak with me.” “Yes,” Luca turned towards him. “We are ready to move out, so we want to know if you are set.” “Ermmm….” Eric stammered because he had not told the King about his soon departure and as Zach had advised, it was wise for him to tell the king that he would soon be leaving the country Palind back to his world. he struggled to get the right words to break the news he had for Luca but his facial expression already foretold that what he was trying to say was not something pleasant to be heard. “It’s okay, Eric, you can spit it out and stop bordering on how I will take it.” Luca encouraged him to speak and stopped holding his words. With the readiness and willingness of King Luca Cole to hear wh
