Stuck in my Game World. 39. Remembering Harris.
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
Stuck in my Game World. 42. He is not here.
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

After making this statement, it happened that it was the worst mistake he made. Instead of getting a favorable answer which he was expecting, King Luca Cole said to him. "Eric, I will say that is enough. Let him be while we head for Raychester castle."He was more surprised that the King had given him the least answer he expected, so he still insisted that they help him influence Zachary's mind. "Your majesty, I can't believe you are the one saying this. You know the truth yet do not want to do anything about it.""Eric, I will not have you continue with this discussion. We had concluded on this before now." King Luca reminded him as he thought that he was yet to recall their agreement before his loss of memory."That was in the past and you don't need to remind me of it. But this is a different time, we all heard from Prince Ethan.""What do you want me to say before you understand?" Zachary now said again even when he was not the one being referred to. "The Putrid squad does not spe

After hearing this from the King, the three elders looked at themselves with strange eyes as they thought of what could be giving them this great courage to want to go up against the dragon. With the eyes they gave themselves, they made sign communication to one another, contemplating whether to tell them the truth or to hide it from them. The interpretation of their sign language was not hidden from the King, Zach and Aaron. They were able to discern what the elders were telling themselves, and it was not what they had expected from them. When they were done with their sign language and the spokesman was about to air out what they had concluded, King Luca said to him, "There is no need to hide anything from me. What we want to hear is the truth and not that lie which you have agreed to tell us.” As they heard this from the King, the spokesman held back his word for a minute, sharply looking at his fellows for a brief moment and this time around there was no sign communication made,
Stuck in my Game World. 46. Back to Cliffsage.
This was what he was expecting so he was glad the King asked that question. Just as King Luca had thought, Zach had a place in mind before asking the question, but in order not to make it too obvious, he took a few minutes to pretend as if he was thinking. After about five minutes, he said. "Why don't we go over to Cliffsage city?"As he aired this out, it was instantly accepted by the King and Aaron without asking or thinking about why Zach would choose Cliffsage out of the many places in Palind."Cliffsage city, it is!" The King said and hit their horses to hasten its movement.Whether thought about why Zach chose Cliffsage or not, there was definitely a reason behind his choice. Cliffsage happened to be his home city and one of the most recognised in Palind because it had produced great men of valor in the past of which he is one of them and even the most popular. Though it was great, but Warcton was and is still the most recognised in Palind, though it had not produced a legend as

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

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

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
