Even with all their attempts, the trolls knew how to vanish when they wanted to. As the sun was coming up, they moved into their cave and the soldiers could not follow them inside since they would not find them.But King Luca was determined to follow them into the cave and see how they came about."Your majesty, they are gone. Let them be." Zach said to him as he wanted to move in with a lamp in his hand."They are in there," he still insisted on going in."No, you won't find them. Trust me." Then Luca threw the lamp into the cave to see how the inside was, but as the lamp got into the cave, it went off instantly preventing the King from seeing anything.Then he turned, and asked with a high tone. "Where is Eric Claus?" He wanted to talk with Eric so as to know how he managed to cut the head of a troll with his staff.One of the soldiers who was standing close to the place where his staff had fallen then picked it up and said. "My lord, I can find his staff, but I can't find him."Th
As they came to the Raychester castle after about a four hours ride with great speed, they rushed down to the army camp and searched for the supervisor. "Sir, we bring words from General Aaron Gordon."Based on the usual instruction that will come from the General or other commanders in the field, the supervisor asked. "Did he say how many men he will be needing because most of the soldiers are still going through training and it would not be advisable that they go into combat now.""Sir, we are not here l for more men. Rather we were charged to bring a soldier from the medical department."Then the supervisor concluded that they had so many wounded soldiers in their midst that they could not bring all of them back to the castle so he said. "That will not be a problem, I will assign the best few to go with you immediately.""We only need one person, he goes by the name Harris and it was said that you know this soldier very well."The supervisor was surprised, because he knew that Har
Aaron just stood still and watched them, but as Harris was walking away, he followed him to know what was the meaning of those words, why he said them and most of all why his father wanted him to say them."Wait Harris..." he called as Harris walked away in haste. Harris stopped under the command of a General, and as Aaron came close to him, he asked. "What is the meaning of that? Why is your father so certain that Eric is not gone even after seeing that there is no sign of life in him?""It is a long story," Harris did not want to tell it to him else he might start seeing him as a magician just as his father sees him."Make it brief," he said but suspected that Harris would tell him that it can not be briefed so he added, "Or you can not brief the whole story, then tell me about it in full. I have all the time to listen."Since Aaron had developed so much interest in knowing what was going on, he had to speak and not hide it again. "It was after the dragon's first attack, that Eric C
Now after King Luca Cole had spent so long inside the tank trying to figure out the special thing about the staff that had made it able to cut off the head of a troll yet was not able to discern any special thing which he could hold on to, he had to come out of the tent as he could also tell that the day was soon passing by and they can not stay there till dusk because the trolls can come out again and this time will wipe all the remaining army. When he came outside, the soldiers were quite ready to move, all they were doing was to wait for an order which they believed would soon come.Then he saw Zach carrying the corpse of Eric which he had thought they had buried as instructed, so went to meet him as he called, causing him to stop and turn around. "Zachary!""Your majesty," He replied as the King came closer."What are you still doing with this body?""My lord, I'm sorry but I can not watch him being buried.""Nobody said you must watch while he is buried. Just hand it over to the
They were approaching the gate of Raychester when they received words from three riders who met them on the way at twilight. When King Luca had asked them what their mission was, one of them said they were coming to get aid for the city of Riverston which was under attack. Then the King looked at the men which he was returning with and those eyes could tell that he was going to need some of them to go with the riders. While he looked at the soldiers he studied to know if they would like to go or not seeing that they were just returning from a fight.As nature may have, there were always going to be those who would want to fight voluntarily. And since would not want to force any of his soldiers, he asked that those who were willing and had the strength to fight should join the riders.To his greatest surprise, about half of them if not more were willing, and since they were close to the gate of their destination, he could not stop them since the war did not get that close to Raychest
Just as they were about to remove everything that was connected to his body, they could hear the monitor beeping, and all eyes turned to see that it had begun to read again, detecting life in his body. Instantly they looked at Eric and could see his eyes open, as he stared at them.So the doctor looked at time again, it was eleven forty, so he immediately, along with the nurses with him resumed the administration of treatment to him, as they fixed back the drip in him and other necessities.Even after this, the doctor confirmed that he is still in a coma but there was quite an improvement that his chances of survival had risen from fifteen percent which it recently dropped to, and was now at a thirty five percent rate. Though the chance was still nothing to celebrate because there was every possibility that it would drop again to an even lower rate than it had risen from. So all he had to do alongside his staff was to monitor him closely to see how it would go.******Back to the roo
Then Zach was now happy that he could remember everything that he forgot. "I'm sorry.""No you don't have to be sorry. I understand. Your world needs my help and I have fulfilled a purpose here before returning home. I understand everything.""Yes you are right.""Last I checked, we were in the field fighting against the trolls, so what happened? Why are we back here in Raychester castle?""The battle ended and the trolls fled." He began to answer the questions he asked. "You killed three trolls all by yourself. You proved to us that you are really a hero as the prophecy said.""So tell me, where is my staff? I should get back into the field as I must defeat these creatures and go back home. The longer I stay here, the lesser my chance of leaving.""No, I don't think that's how it is. Rather, I will say the more your victories the higher your chances of going home.""Then, I need to start gaining those victories so as to leave because my daughter is waiting for me. She wants me to com
Zachary understood why he was asking that question, but Eric did not since he was expecting the King to be happy that the savior of his land and world is not dead."Is that the question you are supposed to be asking? Aren't you supposed to be happy that I am still alive?""I am happy to see you are walking and breathing, but yes, that is the question I am supposed to ask because you were dead, freezing cold for over twenty four hours."Then Eric looked at the three people in the room with surprise. "Wait, there is something you are not telling me. Was that battle with the trolls not in the night breaking this morning?""No Eric. It broke yesterday. You died for more than a day." Zachary answered him.So he was silent for some time now, he then knew the reason for the King's shock was because he would feel the same way if he saw someone rise after being confirmed dead for over twenty four hours.While he was quiet, King Luca asked Zach, "What did you do to him? How did you bring him ba
