Stuck in my Game World. 45. Hunted or hunter.
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
Stuck in my Game World. 47. Why are we stopping?
Aaron definitely did not know much about Zach's odd mood, so he said, "This is the place of his past and whatever he wants to do, is related to his past."As King Luca heard this, he recalled that Zach is from Cliffsage, and that made him discern the possible thing Zach would want to do there before leaving.So they halt their horses, waiting for Zach to draw closer with his ride. But as they stopped Zach and the other men with them also stopped.Zachary was unaware of what had caused them to stop, so he drew nearer to them as they had wanted and asked. "Why are we stopping?""For you to join us," Luca answered him as they controlled the horses to resume movement.Zach was very confused due to this act as he looked at Aaron and Eric, then continued with them at the same pace while Aaron raised his right as a signal telling the other soldiers to continue with them.Still in confusion he had to ask, referring to none of them in particular. "You still haven't told me why you stopped?"Th

After some minutes of standing still with rolling down his face, Zach wiped his face and then proceeded towards the old and partly burnt building.Most of the soldiers refused to enter the compound with them for reasons best known to them and the leaders did not force them to come in with them. They were even okay with the fact that the men were coming in with them.Zach did not enter the house even as he came close to the entrance. Instead he turned around going to the back of the house as he was followed by Eric, the King and Aaron. The few soldiers that entered the yard with them stopped some meters away from the entrance of the house. This was because none of those they were following had asked the ones that stopped outside the yard to join them. They were also surprised that the location was that tattered unlike the other corners of the city where they had come through. So they concluded that they were a reason for the abandonment of the place and why it was not renovated.As Zac
Stuck in my Game World. 49. Used to be but not anymore.
As those words came from Aaron, Zach still delayed for a second and then realized how serious the matter was. His heart had to tell him that for Aaron and the King to be trying to stop Eric in joint effort, it therefore means that there was something bad which they had seen or suspected. So he made haste at the very minute Eric was able to push Aaron aside since he was in his front but as for King Luca who still held him tight from behind, it was difficult to break loose from his grip.As Aaron was dropping to the ground, Zach was drawing out his sword and was very close to them. Since he has watched them try to hold him back to no avail, he used the handle of his sword to hit Eric in a very strategic way which was aimed at making him lose consciousness without bleeding.So King Luca had to let him go as Eric fell to the ground and the three of them were now standing around him as they stared for a minute. Neither the King nor Aaron dared question Zach, asking him why he had to hit
Stuck in my Game World. 50. Huge mistake.
After Eric was laid on the ground by Aaron, Zach then came close again to him, squatted and with his hands, he strategically touched his head, applying some amount of pressure and instantly Eric returned from being unconscious with a very heavy breath."What happened?!" Eric asked as his eyes were opened."Nothing," the King answered immediately. Then Zach stood back to his feet as he helped Eric to get back on his feet.This sight was amazing to Aaron as he was wondering who that was possible. Even the men with them were astonished, they had never seen such a thing before. But neither of them could ask what was going on because from the tone King Luca had answered Eric, telling him that nothing was wrong, they could design that they did not want him to recall what had happened and in addition to this, they were wondering with series of guesses, concerning the possible thing that had happened behind the house while they were there.Now that he had restored the consciousness of Eric, h
Stuck in my Game World. 51. Seeing is believing.
Eric Claus noticed the kind of surprise which had taken over their faces and he was confused, with lots of questions flying into his heart, as he asked himself why their moods had changed. With the questions troubling him greatly, he had to voice them out. "Why the strange looks? What is happening? Why aren't you saying anything?" "Are you sure of the name you mentioned now?" King Luca was forced to ask. "Yes. I wouldn't say it if I wasn't sure. By the way, what is wrong with the name? Do you know the person that has the name?" "That is the name of Zach's daughter who passed away with his wife and first son." As he heard this from the King, he was able to understand why Zach was the way he was after hearing him mention the name. He also understood why Zach was able to correct him when he mispronounced that name. With this understanding, he was now able to recall how they had stopped him from entering the old farmland and at this moment, he no longer had the desire from them to go b

"No I haven't and I pray it never comes around my city." The chief was quick to say, showing how much he was afraid of the dragon coming around his location.With the response they've gotten from him, they knew that there was no valuable information that could be gotten from Cliffsage pertaining to their mission of hunting the dragon down. So it was to leave Cliffsage for another city which could be a target of the dragon.But the chief continued with a question, "Sorry to ask, but why are you asking about the dragon? And why do you think it might have passed through this city?""We want to hunt it down." Eric answered the question, and he was sincere in his response.Since his question had been answered and the first reason for their coming was achieved, the King had to introduce the number two purpose for their being there. "Secondly, we are here to know why a site in this city was not renovated after the destruction it faced years ago."The chief was left to think about what he was

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

189. Discharged.
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
