Stuck in my Game World. 13. Make me understand.
His words were pleasing to king Luca Cole as he will still have to persuade Zachary to come with them to the castle, but those were not pleasing to Zach, he was very disappointed that Eric had chosen to stick to his words and make king Luca continue to bother him."Zach, you have heard from him, he wants you to come with us to the castle. You will be safe there." Luca said.But Eric had to come in because Zach had gone short of words, it was obvious he could not argue again with the king. "Your majesty, please do not misinterpret me. If my master does not want to come with you, I don't want to go with you either. I will appeal that you bear with us. I think for the time being, the best place for us to stay is here in Hillcrest. Maybe in the near future, we will come to the castle as you have asked. We have our reason, my heart tells me that it is not yet my time so when my time comes, I shall join you in the castle without you coming for us.""It is your safety I am after here. The dr

Zachary went some distance away from the house and sat under a tree facing the house then Eric came too and sat close to him without saying anything for the first few minutes."I want to be alone right now." Zach said to him. He was not comfortable with Eric's silence, he knew that soon he would say something and it would not be what he'd like to hear."I know, but your countenance leaves me very curious that my heart will know no peace unless you tell me what the problem is.""Then your heart might forever be that way because I don't think my mouth can express the way my heart feels.""Therefore you have struck me so hard that I will never recover from." Eric responded as they continued in silence, no one of them decided to speak again. Even in his silence, he kept observing Eric to see how sure he was concerning his heart being troubled. Without a doubt, it was seen in his face that there was actually trouble in his spirit, but still he chose not to say a word.The clock kept ticki

Eric was quite confused because of the rate of speed which he used in entering the house after hearing those words. He was eager to know what came over him to have caused him to move with great speed, so he followed him instantly.Entering the house, Harris had gone to bed, he had waited for so long for them to come back into the house, yet they tarried outside and in accordance to wait Eric told him before joining Zach outside, he chose not to follow them.Since he was fast asleep, Zach did not disturb his sleep, he chose to let him wake on his own when it was morning and then they could talk about this before their departure from Hillcrest. When Eric saw him come to meet Harris sleeping, and with the way he stared at the teenager while he slept, he kind of understood the reason why Zach had rushed into the house. Now that Zach had chosen to sleep and wait till the next morning, they both went to bed.First thing in the morning, when they were all awake, Zach said to his son. "Harri
Stuck in my Game World. 16. Warning from the dragon.
The dragon flew over them at a very slow pace as it kept its eyes on the ground. In the spot where they had taken cover, it was obvious to them through the manner in which the dragon flew over them they knew that it had sensed that Eric Claus was still alive that was why it returned to finish the job.While they laid under the covering of a large tree which was full of fresh grass all around, they kept their eyes up looking at the dragon to monitor when it would leave for them to continue their journey.But the dragon showed no signs of leaving. It kept hovering around the area since its mind was convinced that the enemy was still alive. While it felt about the place, it opened its mouth, breathing out fire which consumed the house of Zachary which they had just left.As a result of the fire, those who were in the main village noticed the presence of the dragon and in fear, they all sought cover and safety. But it was surprising to them that this time, the dragon did not come to the m

From the boldness in his demand, the soldiers knew that with their actions, they would never scare him, so one of them who was not focused on him earlier had to turn to him and say. "Who are you?" "Are you the captain of this troop?" Zach asked, facing the young soldier that had questioned him. His reason for answering with a question was because he does not look like a captain, even from the way he spoke, he did not have a commanding voice or tone. Even the man that had asked them to stop in the first place had a more thick and threatening voice than him."We lost our Captain, so I'm in charge,'' the man answered as he drew close to Zach looking him in the eyes.Zach wanted to laugh because he did not imagine the young soldier to be the one to assume the rank of the captain even if the actual Captain was among the fallen. He held himself from laughing and then looked at the other twenty four men to see if anyone would counter the words of the soldier but none did as he was expecting
Stuck in my Game World. 18. The blacksmith.
Later that same day, after Zach, Eric and Harris had gotten some rest. Eric and Zach were called by the King as he took them to the armor house to go through the gallery of weapons for Zachary to make selection.They had shuffled through for some minutes and the things they were seeing were not the kind of weapon they had told Luca was the weapon Eric had mastered. So Eric had to say, "My lord, I am confused.""What is the matter?" Luca became confused too due to the question that he looked at Eric as they stopped walking.Now he had gotten the attention of the king, so he continued. "What exactly are we doing here? I haven't seen any shaff among the weapons whereas that is the weapon I need.""Oh, is that the reason why you are confused?" Luca asked him with a relieved face as if what he had said is not reason enough to make him confused.That new look worn by the King was not pleasing to Eric at all. "You are sountas though it is not a good reason to make me curious?""Sorry Eric. M
Stuck in my Game World. 19. Looking for Harris.
King Luca was yet to get to his chamber after their return from the blacksmith's workshop. He was getting feedback concerning the just finished battle at some location in his kingdom from a captain that just returned, when Eric and Zach came to meet him again.Even before they said what had happened, he had read from their faces that all was not well. So he told the captain he was discussing with to excuse him for a moment while he attends to Zach and Eric. "What happened? You don't look bright.""It's Harris. He is missing.""Impossible!" Luca exclaimed with total doubt. It will be stupid of him to believe the report immediately sknce there was no report of conflict in the castle while he was away."We would not be joking in matters like this. We have looked for him in all the places he could be, yet to no avail." Eric said."You vowed to ensure his safety," Zach reminded him."Of course, I will keep to my word. There is no need to panic. He will be somewhere around the castle, there

few minutes after he said those words, Eric and Zach came in to meet them after receiving word that Harris had been found. Immediately they set their eyes on him, they made haste and embraced him.Without anyone telling the supervisor, he could tell who amongst them was Zach because Eric was quite young to be the legend whom people spoke of. So he saluted with a bow. "Lord Zachary."But Zach paid no attention to the salutation as he asked Harris. "Where have you been? You made me freak out.""I'm sorry father but I earnestly want to fight for my country. I want to be a legend like you, whom everyone is talking about."He knew from the reply where he had gone that he had to ask out of fear. "Hope you did not sign the oath?""I'm afraid my lord, but he has already completed the oath." The supervisor answered in Harris' place since he was finding it difficult to answer the question because he was scared and knew that his father would not be happy to hear that.Instantly, Zach then looke

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
