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

He ignored the voice this time even when it was recognizable to belong to his friend. He felt it was the voice of those beasts just as the orc had told him, and adding this to what he had seen and encountered in that place, he would never turn back to answer the voice. Yet as he tended to move away, he heard the voice saying again in a more clearer way. "Don't leave me here…. Eric…. Is that not you….. I know your scent. You can not leave me here with these beasts." This time he was very confused on what to do, he could no longer resist the call for help, so he had to ask back to confirm if it was really the person he thought was calling out for his help. "Who are you?" As he asked this question, he looked around, listening very carefully to know the direction which the voice would come from. "It's Zachary Hawkins and I'm over here." For the fact that he had heard the full name of Zach, he had no other reason to doubt what he was hearing. He now asked again as he was yet to be sure

"Okay," Eric finally agreed to what Zach was requesting and then helped him get on his feet. It was at this point when he was helping him to stand up that Eric realized that Zach had broken his right leg and would not be able to walk out of the woods unless he was treated even if it was not completely, at least to a point, because even standing up was a problem. "Aaahhhh!" Zach screamed as he tried to stand. it wasn't as though he did not know that he had broken his leg, but he did not know that was how bad it was. He was definitely feeling the pain but since he had not tried standing with it, he thought it to be a minor thing. He had sustained this broken bone at the moment when the beasts attacked him out of nowhere, and that was the same time when Eric and the orc heard the screen that made Eric to be inside the woods too. He was not able to continue shouting after the first one because the monsters knocked him so hard that he passed out and then they tied him to the tree. He had w

Despite how Zach kept looking around in fear, Eric still did not know that he had to stop whatever he was doing so that they would leave the place. Since Zach was not able to move without his aid, he was not bothered at all. Most of all, he believed that what he was doing was for his own good and not even his. Normally before now, Eric was about to leave the wood before he met him and changed his mind. What he wanted was that before they leave that place Zack should not be a total reliability to him. He wants him to be able to move faster and even be able to stand and fight if the need arises. Most of all, his peace of mind was because he believed that they were in a calm place where the beast would not see them no matter what so he took his time to find what he was looking for, not listening to what his friend was telling him about the beast being close to them. In the next couple of minutes, he seemed to take a pause as it appeared he had seen what he was looking for but even Zach c

With the way he had raised his voice at him, Zach had to stop talking as he knew that Eric was not happy with the way he was sounding. “I’m sorry Eric,” he apologized even when he had the right to be afraid and to sound the way he was sounding because he had told Eric that thing about them leaving the woods but he wouldn’t listen, instead he paid deaf ears to him. With the way Zach used to apologize to him, Eric was now made to feel guilty because he was really warned about that and knew that Zach had the sole right to complain as he was doing at that moment. “It’s okay sir, I am the one who is to be apologizing for not listening to you when you were warning me about the creatures. I shouldn’t have raised my voice at you.” Now it was a section of apology that they’ve but entered which was the wrong thing they should be doing at the moment. Zach was able to see that the path which they were taking was no longer the right path, so he had to tell Eric. “We shouldn’t be doing this now, t

The chase continued for only a few more minutes and then the monsters began to compass him just as he had thought. They were now taking some paths which he knew not of and since it was their area, they were really good at over taking him through these routes. When the first one came out from his left hand side and dived at him he was very surprised, it was the first time he was seeing the creature and now he was able to realize why Zach was so eager about them leaving the woods. The creature was truly a beast, it was such that he had never seen before in any movie or game in his world, nor had the people of Palind seen such a monster before, now he was able to realize why he was told that the outer world was dominated by monsters that were even more dangerous than the ones that used to attack the country and this one was a prefect description. Though he had successfully dodged the beast from striking him but he could not stop looking over his shoulder to see if another one was coming
Stuck in my Game World. 133. You've failed!
Thus, letting Eric and Zach leave the woods alive was a strong no to them, they had to be stopped from leaving so they don’t bring news about their existence to the other humans and cause them to attack the jungle. In addition to this they knew that even after killing Eric and Zach, the humans will come to war against them for killing their own as common sense tells them that the other humans in Palind were aware of their journey to that place, so it was literally after killing the two supposed spies, then they would head for the cities of Palind and by so doing they will be informed of the war and would help the orc succeed in wiping human race off the face of the earth. Eric never knew anything about these creatures and why they were attacking him, nor did Zach about them too else he wouldn’t have taken the fighting posture and waited for them to attack. What he would have done if he was aware of this was to plead and explain things to them, at least that way, he would avoid anythin

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.

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

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

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
