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
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
At the resounding of the voice again, he had to force himself up on his feet even when it was not his intention because he knew that if he left that position, he might never return to the world of Palind. Surprisingly to him, as he stood, he could not feel any of the pains he had incurred from the beat of those beasts. He recalled bleeding from his head, so at once he touched the exact spot where his injury was only to realize that there was nothing like that. He could not even feel the pain, not was he able to feel the scar as it probably must have healed according to his thoughts. "This isn't happening," he muttered in annoyance and disappointment. He could remember that the first time he was in that space, he was feeling the pains connected to the world of Palind and the incident that brought him there, but this time, everything was totally different. Now he had to call out for the voice that had been speaking to him since his arrival there, “Hey! Who are you?! Show yourself?”
Eric was startled as he heard those last words, he never expected such nor could he believe it. The end point of what he was being told was that his death was irreversible and that it was also as a result of his failure to plan the entire game before his accident. So he was really disturbed that he could not see his daughter again. Therefore he had to think again on a way to make his returns possible. He was troubled to hear that the world of Palind had stopped existing due to his death, and from all he had come to know, he can’t return to the real world and to New York city without going through the world of Palind. That was his only portal back to his daughter. He took out this time to carefully reason all that the voice had told him in the course of those words, then he could remember when it said that all that had been happening in Palind was his idea but he knew very well that not all was his idea because he never planned for the savoir or hero of the world to come from nowhere ju
Seeing the same old being which he had tagged to be a spirit and ruler of that domain appear in his front with a weapon held firm in its hand, he knew what the outcome would be and since he never suspected the spirit to make such a move, he had to halt in shock, freezing for a couple of minutes before coming out of it. He was not there with his staff as that place was nothing like the world of Palind, nor the real world. For a surety that was a different dimension which could be the afterlife just as the spirit had told him but then he was not going to believe it until he got proof. "Are you going to slay a defenseless man?" Eric asked it with all boldness, as an inner part of him was telling him that the spirit was not going to attack him. "Since you have refused to listen to me when I am talking, then you leave me with no choice." The spirit said, showing him all attributes he needs to see to confirm that it was going to end in fight if he fails to heed its words. "I see," Eric sm
Eric’s mind at this time did not come to tell him that the spirit was doing all that to wear him down to losing all his strength before it would attack again, he just kept falling for what the spirit was doing, chasing it and switching directions just like that. This action continued for a long time as Eric seemed to have enough energy that he was not going to give up. Even the spirit at this time was getting confused and worried to see that after over five hours, he still had the strength to run, and his speed was even the same way, if not increased. This continuous action made Eric to understand what the spirit was doing, but he was not going to stop as he thought of something in his mind with the same energy he had been using, it was impossible for the spirit to know that something was going on in his mind so it keep catching fun of the moment while waiting for his mortal strength to fail. When he finally got an idea of what to do, he gradually reduced his speed so that the spiri
At this point where he could not stand up on his feet after several failed attempts, he had to lie back on the ground, take his time to think of something that would definitely produce positive results. His lying down there finally resulted in something good after a few minutes of staying; now he was able to realize and value the importance of staying. Of course, there was only one thing that could come into his head at this point and that was the remembrance that his had magical powers and with those powers, he composed some words in his head whether they were the right words to use or not, he just fixed his mind on what it should result in, which was strength. He was muttering the words, which made it very difficult for one to hear what he was saying, even himself was not sure of what he was saying at all. Just as he had stationed his mind while uttering the words, he was able to notice some reaction in his body. There were sounds of cracking of bones in his body, the bones which we
At this point, he now realized the great importance of what Eric had done for him before leaving, he could recall vividly how he had tried stopping Eric from carrying out treatment yet Eric was more stubborn than he was and had to use force to make sure his wound was tended to. He knew at this moment that he wouldn't have been able to move if Eric had not helped him. With these things coming back to his memory, tears streamed down his eyes the most but then it was later accompanied by a smile, it was not necessarily a smile of happiness, rather that of pain and this happened when he looked at his legs and could see the hand work of Eric. Thus he was now determined to make sure Eric's death was not in vain, but completely the journey alone was still a problem to him, yet he must act, and act in the best way he can. He took up his sword first and inserted it back into its sheath, afterwards, he went for the walking aid which was also cut and given to him by the same man who had helped in
