The words of Zachary's return were spread abroad, throughout the whole cities, towns and villages of Palind. That the people began to derive faith that their legend was back. But some people did not believe that he would still be as strong as he was because they calculated how long it had been since he left fighting and based on human perception there was no way he would be the same way he was before. Old age was taking over.Well, even if many felt that age must have gotten him weak, some believed that age did not do anything to him as they had some elderly warriors like Morgan Elliot and Aaron Gordon, who were still fighting and doing well in the battlefield.Outside the news of Zachary Hawkins return to the fight, the world was also informed of the stranger and said savior, Eric Claus, who will bring an end to the fight by driving away all the creatures to wherever place they had come from to take over their lands.It has been weeks since Eric Claus came to Raychester castle and ev
After he was gone, Morgen then expressed himself. "Zachary, what was the meaning of that?""Meaning of what?""Why did you send your son away?""I'm not the only one in the army who has a son in the army too. He should know the codes of our services and I don't have to deviate from it because he is my son.""Nobody is asking you to go against the codes. We are already done with our discussion." Aaron said."Do you want to know the truth why I sent him away?" he asked them and they nodded in unison, so he continued. "I know why he is here and would not like to engage in any argument with him about this.""What is going on, Zach? I understand you don't want him in the army but King Luca would have brought him out if you wanted him out." Aaron said to him."Being Generals should not give us the privilege to go against the law. He has to serve according to his oath.""In a department which doesn't suit him?" Aaron asked again."At least he is serving according to his oath. I can't put him
A few days passed after Harris talked with his father. The conversation that day made him so loyal to the core that he was focused in his department, everything that was outside the medical department was kicked off his mind as he took it to be the only training which he needed at the moment.With his new loyalty, the supervisor was troubled as they no longer found him practicing secretly as he used to. They loved his former spirit as all the commanders there knew of a surety that Harris was not meant for the medical department, they were not ignorant of the fact that he was supposed to be in the field fighting. They actually liked the fact that they would find him training alone, but now that he was not found carrying out his routine, they were worried but could not ask him why as they were part of the people that pushed him away from that activity.Harris on his part never abandoned training, he still practiced but it was no longer as usual and he would do this in a more hidden loca
Eric Claus could see himself walking in a plain white background. There was nothing in the place he found himself as he could see as far as his eyes and nothing was there. He turned around, still nothing so he began to wander in one direction. One thing he did not do was to ask where he was or what he was doing there. The reason why that was not asked was because he did not have the answer and there was no one who could answer it.He walked for a very long time before he could hear the voice of a little girl whispering from behind. At first he refused to turn around because it was a place where he had just walked past and nobody was there.Be keep walking still to refusing backeven as he knew that the person whispering behind him was following. It was at the moment when he heard them say something audible that he stopped because the voice was familiar.As he stopped, the voice behind said again, "Father...."Now it was clear to him where he had heard that voice before. It was the voi
After Zach had also left the court to join Eric as the march with the soldiers out of Raychester, King Luca had to leave the court through the same exit which they had gone through, but he was not heading to join them. Instead he was going after the seer so as to plead with him on the behalf of Eric Claus.His intention of wanting to plead with the seer was not because he believed what the seer said anymore. Through the words of Eric, he had come to believe that the second prophecy was not for edification and motivation. But to fulfill all righteousness, he had to ask for the forgiveness of the seer and ensure that he was not angry with him, nor Zach nor Eric.The seer had already entered his chamber when the King came knocking as he said, "Great one.""Do not disturb my peace. Return to wherever you are coming from." The seer said from inside the room."It is I, King Luca Cole. I have come to ask for your forgiveness on all our behalf.""I know who it is, and I don't want to speak to
This news was shocking to Eric as he could not imagine that a father will not care about his sons who are in the field. He then whispered to Zach, "How old are these princes?"Luca heard the question and answer by himself, "My first born, Reece is thirty years old while Ethan is twenty eight years old. Why do you think I felt reluctant at Raychester and the people never bother? That is because my bloods are out here in the field."Zach continued, "The days when King Luca won his own battles are long gone in the days of his youth. Now it's the time of his sons."Eric fixed his eyes as he kept looking at King Luca, "That is to say the king is in his fifties?" He asked because all along he had been seeing Luca to be in his early forties."I am over fifties. Sixty one if you must know."This was shocking, as he compared the King with Zach, who was fifty eight but Zach looked older than the King. So he could not bear this confusion again as he left the three long time experienced warriors
The early hours of that night were calm and peaceful, but as they enjoyed tranquility for over three hours, they began to hear sounds of whispering coming from a distance.It was a valley full of soldiers, men of valor so there was no way all of them would fall asleep at a time. Those that had stayed awake were about three times of the armies that had closed their eyes to sleep. Even the ones who seemed to be sleeping were not sleeping with their two eyes closed because they knew that they were exposed and could be engaged in battle at any time of the night.As the sounds began to draw near to them, every man began to put his sword in place, taking formation. Some of the young soldiers who were leaving Raychester castle for the first time were the ones shivering with fear as they had not been in combat before adding to the fact that what was coming was larger than they were. Of all the creatures which attacked Palind, the orcs were the ones which soldiers would love to fight against a
As he was about to move, Zach, who was partially focused on him, grabbed his hands so that he would not go any further."Let me go since you are all afraid of them." He turned at Zach with angry eyes.Zach wanted to tell him why he must not take a step except the King had made his first step, but King said first to Zach. "Leave him."Zach was shocked that the King was saying that, and he looked at King Luca to be sure he was serious about what he had said and the King nodded his head, meaning he was serious about his words and would not take it back.So he slowly let go of Eric's hand to see if he would still continue with the move he wanted to make. To his greatest surprise, even with the signal he had secretly given to Eric as he let go of his hand, Eric still continued with his move.This made the whole behind marvel as it had never been heard that a soldier in formation marched out before his commanding officer.Still the King did not move, fixing his eyes now on Eric instead of
