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
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. "M
Mr Chase Stevens, the owner of a famous game programming company walked into the programming hall from his office. His numerous staff were seriously focused on their work with their computer system, when he called aloud, "Mr Eric." "Sir," Eric Claus stood from his desk. He was in his mid thirties, thirty five to be precise and he was the manager of the company but he would love to join in the programming of the fun games, also because part of the development programs of the games were his ideas; he would have to put some of the new staff through, directing them on what to do to enhance the gameplay. "I need you in my office right now, let's have a word." Chase said as he turned back in the direction where he came from. "You now know what to do." Eric said to the new kid whom he was putting through some things and then went after his boss to the office. As he came in, Chase was already seated so he said to him, "Please have your seat." He sat down as he was told. He was not curio
When he woke up again, it was already midday and he found himself inside the house which he had seen earlier, and there was this young boy staring at him. The sight was blurry at first, but later became clear after a few blinks of his eyes."You are finally awake?" The kid asked him. It was obvious he had been unconscious for a very long time."Where am I?" He repeated the question which he had asked himself when he was still outside.Instead of answering this question, the kid ran out of the room to call his father who was in the field close to the house."Father! Father! He's awake." The boy screamed as he ran to his middle aged father.The man in his late fifties turned to his son who kept screaming in his name. Hearing that Eric was awake, he dropped the garden fork which he was holding and ran towards the house.He came inside the room again with his son and saw Eric struggling to get up on his feet, so he said as he helped him lay back in the bed, "Easy, you are badly injured."
Being good at tracking the smell of flesh, the three trolls that had come out to hunt and were making the noise which they heard came to the location where they had at this time covered themselves with leaves and grasses to avoid being seen.They were certain of the spell they were perceiving but they could not sight them, yet they refused to leave that location until they'd found what had drawn them to that place.While the trolls persisted in not leaving the location, a moose ran past the place and the trolls were quick to catch it before running past them as they concluded it to be the flesh that had drawn them to that place. So they had to leave with the animal they had caught even though one of them was having the feeling that what they had caught was not what attracted them. It could still smell flesh, despite the one they were with.But its company called it that they should leave since they had gotten a meal for themselves. It did not mean that they were not getting the smell
After a long time of waiting for almost two hours, Morgan walked back into the court with an elderly man, who looked eighty years old. The man's heir was completely white, and he wore a white garment holding a staff. His eyeballs were white, if not looked carefully, one will think that he had no eyeballs, and jaw was covered with white beards.When he had drawn near to them, Luca said, "Welcome wise one.""Your majesty, why have you called me out of my chamber?" The seer asked Luca. He still had not taken notice of any other person in the court. This was because he was not seeing clearly so he usually focused on one person at a time."We have someone you should meet. He claims to be Eric Claus from New York."Now Eric did not have to wait to be given the chance to speak before speaking. "I do not claim, rather I am Eric Claus. If you have any problem with that, then you should tell me directly?" He did not like the idea that the King used that world claim. He saw that words to indirec
The stare into his palms was beginning to take longer than expected and it made Eric get scared as it was obvious that the seer could see something bad about his future and that happened to be the reason why he hated seers and fortune tellers.His mind began to skip the most as despite his actions to tell the seer that it was enough, he still would to let go of his hands. Instead, he would even look more closely into it.He finally got sick of this action, so he did not want the seer to continue with the stare, so he withdrew his hand. "What did you see?""Hmmm." He hummed. That was a sign to tell that his mouth was very heavy to say what he had seen. But the way all eyes were fixed on him, he had to speak up. "I am afraid to tell us that he does not have the hands of a swordsman. It bleeds my heart to say that it could be impossible for him to master the sword.""Does that mean the prophecy was false?" Luca asked. He could not bear to hear that the prophecy was false because the news
Weeks passed with the continuation of their training and it happened that the revelation of the seer was coming to pass. Eric was finding it extremely difficult to master the sword. Even young Harris was better than him and this seemed to frustrate him but whenever he remembers that without passing that stage, he can not go back to the real world, his zeal will be increased yet it was not yielding any improved result.One of the days when Zachary left him to keep practicing with Harris under the sun while he takes a rest inside. Harris said to Eric. "I remember what the seer told you.""Of course, I also know what he said but I am going to prove him wrong." He replied thinking that Harris was referring to the impossibility of him knowing how to use the sword.Harris knew that was what he was thinking from that response, so he had to go straight to the thing which he was referring to. "No, I'm not talking about being a swordsman.""Then what are you talking about?" Eric asked because h
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."

“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
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
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
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
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
