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
Since Eric will not answer his questions, he turned to the King and those who were from his world. "Please let us not let this stranger confuse us. I am sure he must have told you something about the staff, so tell me let me know whether it has anything to do with my forging the weapon or if it has not."The King, Zach and Aaron had come to stand with Eric on this aspect and would not tell Bradley what they had noticed about the weapon unless he had told what was used to forge the weapon."Listen Bradley, no one is going to tell you what we observed about the staff until you have told us the source of the ore used to forge the staff." King Luca said and that was the mind of Aaron and Zach. "You don't have to hide anything from us. We get that he is special and for that reason you chose to use a special ore for his weapon for his weapon. Just tell us the source and we will give you the response you are asking for." Aaron added to what the King had said."It is your questions that make
When they came back to the court as they were still discussing the staff and how Bradley Rogers could not discern what was strange about the weapon he had made.Eric Claus, who was getting sick of the continuous talk, had to say. "Please, let's forget talking about this staff. It makes me confused and as though I should stop using it and get a new one.""No, there will be no need for that. You are good with the staff," King Luca said to him. He personally had seen the way he skillfully brought down three orcs, if not four because he was at the verge of killing another before he was knocked away to death."Thank you," he appreciated that the King was willing to draw the talk to a close.Since they had stopped talking about the staff as he had pleaded, he then raised another topic. "So, which city are we marching to next?"King Luca was amazed that he was talking about marching for war again seeing that he had just come back from the land of the dead. For sure he was against this as it
Yet with what had happened, the commander was still certain that Harris would be among his men. "Like I said, he will be within the camp. All we have to do is to gently and carefully find him. If you look around you will see that many of your disbursements to us are still alive and they seem to the set of soldiers more agile to fight.""The men you speak to us about had just finished a battle against trolls before coming here. So do not see them as being as agile as you think.""I already know about that, a commander made it known to me when I was interacting with him."What they were saying was not what Zach was thinking, so he had to cause them digress a little. "Why do you believe he will be alive?""We did not only ask for aid from Raychester castle. Seeing that my men and I had been fighting for two days, we also sent for aid from Warcton fortress and other parts of Palind. Those from Warcton could not come because they were holding back the line to ensure the fortress remained s
While Harris was following them, he could notice and attest to the fact that those soldiers were good. They fought in a uniform manner, with every man watching the back of his neighbor. Their ears were wide open even while fighting, they did not allow the clashing sounds of weapons distract them from hearing the next command. It seemed as though they were deaf to the noise made by the striking together of weapons. All they heard were commands and would change their strategy at the sound of every command. They did not maintain any constant formation. From observing the Putrid squad fight and chase the orcs away, he told himself that he had a lot to learn. The manner in which they were coming up and down their horses was another thing he could not explain. Even their rides on their own proved to him that they were trained for that purpose. Most of all, at the end of the whole thing, he could notice that they lost about ten to five men only. And the squad did not march in their number. T
As the Putrid squad were set to go back to Riverston where they will leave Harris with the commander he was under, they heard the sound of riders coming their way so they seem to be happy about it since they will just leave Harris with the riders and set off their business.As the riders came close to the point they could recognize the King and Zachary, the squad had to bow at once, to conclude the Prince. Harris also joined them to bow his head niy refused to raise his face again even when they were told to rise.The greatest joy the Putrids had was because of the presence of Zachary Hawkins, they had missed him all the years he was away from them. It was their desire that he did not leave them to become a general but the King demand that honor must be given to whoever it was due, and Zachary also agreed to leave because he had trained the squad well to the extent that he knew they were able to carry the purpose without him and of the truth, they had done just as he had believed.The
In order to find out what the promise to him was, he walked away from the other soldiers and Putrids. Only the Prince and Oliver walked with him since they were signaled to join. As they came a few meters away from the others, he began. "So what agreement did you enter with my son?""He wants to be a member of the Putrids squad so we told him that he is too young and will come for him when he is older." Ethan answered.Then Oliver asked the question which was ringing in his heart as he thought that Zach was done with his. "Sir, how is it possible that you and your son are still alive after all these years. And why did you let such news spread about you being dead?"Zach did not answer his question as he continued with the topic that caused him to draw them apart from the others. "That promise and agreement will not stand. Harris is not going to join the Putrids. Even his years as a soldier are limited.""But he will make a great warrior just like his father." Ethan said even though h
