Stuck in my Game World. 144. Warning.
When they came to the city of Riverston, the city was already down, commander Benjamin and his men had literally done everything within their power to stop the creatures but none was working, every strategy which they would use against the ogres, trolls and even orcs had been put in use before now. Thus what they were doing at this time was to protect as many as they could. The creatures that they had come to fight against, were the same beasts which had killed Eric in the woods, and this time they had come in their numbers to bring down the country and warn humans never to send any more man into their territory. The attack on Riverston was only a warning to man. When they saw the king approach the city, they ceased fighting. Even though they had not known king Luca before now, they knew from his armor and the way the soldiers rallied with him that he was the king, therefore the right person they wanted to see. Commander Ben, who had been trying so hard all this while was baffled wh
Stuck in my Game World. 145. Why what?
The journey in the outer world continued in a smooth way as the orc resumed leading them through the lands, this time with the magnitude of calmness put in by the orc, they felt safe following its landings for the first time. Their instincts were totally okay with the directions which it was taking them through. The orc was following instructions given to it concerning stopping and moving as it knew that their speed would not be the same since Zach wounds was still healing and he need not to be in any form of pressure. Though Zach was the one that loved them to move without wasting time, he was still the person that gave the instruction of when to stop and when to move. Since the orc was now cooperating very well with them, Eric saw no need to still keep it in chains, so the magical chain which he put it in to make sure it was on check had to be revoked at the moment when they were observing a rest which Zach had asked for. It was a huge surprise to the orc that the chain went off,

Now this brought them back to the question which the orc had asked. Eric knew that things would surely come to this point that was why he chose to wait till this time, keeping the orc’s question pending so that he would not have to repeat himself separately to Zach and the orc. So he spoke in the usual English which was being understood by both the orc and Zach, but he was kind of referring to the orc since that was the only way for it to understand the words that were coming out of his mouth. He also knew that Zach would understand his response to be an answer to his question too. “You have proven yourself worthy to be without those chains around your legs that is the reason why I had cursed them to leave you. I am sure that you will continue in this good attitude of yours until you bring us to the camp of your kind and lead us to wherever cage you are keeping Harris. You will help us save the kid and that way your life will be spread even though we are forced to kill the rest of your

The night was quite long unlike the previous ones, but they could not question nature, as it was a certain thing that the sun would surely rise even if it wanted to take extra hours to do so. With the long wait for twilight, both Eric and Zach for the first time both fell asleep, leaving the orc to keep watch and this was mainly because the orc had gained their trust. Their falling asleep was nothing to the orc, it did not make a single attempt to run away even when it was not in chains. Though it was not in chains, but surely it was in fear that Eric might have said a spell that would get it trapped if it makes an attempt to escape so for it to be on a save side, it had to maintain patience as it was already close to accomplishing the plan which it had been working towards all these while. It was also happy that they had fallen asleep because that way, they would wake up when the sun was up and then behold the sight which it wanted them to behold upon their waking. On a normal, sinc
Stuck in my Game World. 148. Can't you see it?
Looking around as he was told, he still did not notice anything strange because he had looked around before now when he was looking for the orc. He maintained a still posture for a moment trying to figure out what had made Eric ask him to look around. Initially. He thought that it was the orc that Eric had asked him to look at but he was not seeing anything that he could say was the reason for his turning around. Eric noticed that he did not get the reason why he was asked to turn around, so he asked. “Can't you see it?” he was surprised that Zach was not observing the same thing which he was looking at. “See what?” Zach asked back as he looked at Eric for a second and then returned his gaze to the direction which he is meant to notice something strange in. Still in surprise that Zach was not beholding the sight which he was, he felt like allowing Zach to figure this out on his own, but there was no time for that, he had to air it out to save them the time which he would waste in t
Stuck in my Game World. 149. Just turn around....
Zach was not happy to hear the word ‘sit’ but he was left with no other choice. It took some minutes before gradually lowered himself to the ground. He did not give Eric any audible response to the request he had made, but his action of sitting down was enough to tell that he agrees to the request of sitting and making a plan. Since he had responded positively to the request, Eric then sat down too but he did not know where to start the talk from, thus he began by saying. “Thank you for heeding my words.” He paused after the appreciation, thinking seriously on the next thing to say. While thinking of what to say, the orc was sighted by him and instantly a smile filled his face slowly. Zach was surely curious of what was behind the smile on his face because they were sitting face to face, thus, he was backing the direction which the orc was coming from. He did not speak immediately, giving Eric some time as he believed that Eric would say the reason for his smile as he had already c
Stuck in my Game World. 150. Interpretation.
Even though it had lied, about why it did not run away, Eric for sure knew that it was lying due to the way it stammered. He could now be bold to say that the orc was scared of being manipulated but there was no need of prolonging the talk. He just pretended to take the words of the orc as it had said. “So where did you go? We have been awake for quite a while now and couldn’t find you nor did we pick any track.” “I was looking around for a way through the mountain.” The orc claimed. Meanwhile that was not what it was doing, it just decided to take a walk and also to put their minds high when they woke up without finding it and that aim was achieved as they were really troubled about its disappearance, especially Zach. “Do you not know the way around these lands? Or let me guess, you are leading us to another place instead of the base of your kind where we would find the young soldier that had brought us out of our lands.” Eric was suspecting that it was lying, so he asked to be sur
Stuck in my Game World. 151. Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Zach was a little bit convinced by what he said as regards to the he was the interpretation of what the orc had told him after it returned from looking around the place. He had his mind still telling him that Eric was lying and wanted him to stand by the words which he had said. So he was not ready to give in to the idea of making further delays. “You have said that which please you , now it is time for me to tell you what I have decided.” Eric predicted at once that the so-called decision of Zach was still going to be continuing on the journey as it was too quick for him to want to say something after hearing from him. Thus he advised, “You don’t need to rush in making your decision whatever it is, I have already promised to ask for it so take your time and think about whatever decision you want to take.” Zachary was wise enough to know what Eric was driving so he refused to take the advice given to him as he continued with what he had in mind. “There is no need to think further on

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

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
