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 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

    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

    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

    After hearing these words from Eric, the chief was dumbfounded for some minutes. He now understood why despite how much he tries not to talk about it, he could not. For the singular fact that the soldiers had told them about him being in the right position to tell what is wrong with that place, he must do so because the soldier had confided in him, so he must not let them down."That land has taken several people away from this world." He began, "Those who planned on renovating the places say there are voices in the yard, and the moment you answer the voice, that I will be your end.""Are you saying that the person vanished or what?" Zach asked to get a clearer understanding of what he was saying concerning his old house."Not really, but they always pass away at night after coming out of the place. Out of fear we stopped sending people into the land to work on the place."Immediately, they all looked at Eric Claus, because from what the chief was saying he was going to die in a few m

    Since they had left the house of the chief when the sky was still dark, they did not move at a fast pace. They had just left the city of Cliffsage, heading for the city of Newgriffin, when the skies began to brighten up. About some distance away from the Newgriffin, they saw a few riders heading towards them at great speed, so they had to stop for them to come close because it was sensed that they had an important message for them."Your majesty," the captain in the midst of the riders saluted as they came close before continuing with the message which had brought them since there was no need to be asked before speaking. "The dragon has been seen and there was news reaching us, telling us that you seek the dragon.""Where?!" King Luca asked at once. "Northby."Not waiting for further orders from the King outside the eyes which met with his own, General Aaron whistled as he waved his hand in the air, thereby drawing the attention of the army with them, then added with words. "Change

    Even with the exclamation of Eric Claus and the manner in which the others stared at King Luca Cole, he had no intention of going back on his words. Instead he said to them, "These looks are not going to change my decision in any way so it is better you quit looking at me like and stay calm let's wait for the riders that will bring us news of the dragons location.""Are you sure we have the patience to wait that long?" Zach said to him."You better find a way to grow your patience. It is better we leave here with full confidence of where to find the dragon, than wander to the last place where the draft would think of going. The commander had just said that his men would come here in less than no time. However, it's late and I bet we all need rest.""And what if the soldiers don't come as supposed, are we still going to stay here forever without acting upon the latest information heard concerning this situation?" Eric wanted to hear some words which he could use to pin the King into do

    Next they were all in a small circle as with the commander and the riders that just came in. One of them had just finished making the report of what had befallen their comrades. But the news which was heard about them and the dragon was one that made the ears of the five people who they told this to tingle.They had just narrated to them how the dragon attacked and consumed them with his breath. According to their words, the dragon had known about them keeping up tracks with it all along but refused to react as it waited for the right time to do so. And the time it did was actually the right time based on the dragon."What are we waiting for again?!" Eric Claus asked them at random as he saw the manner in which they all froze. He was probably the only one amongst them that did not feel the way they did and even himself could not tell what the cause yet he was sure that it was as a result of words which they said about him being a gift to them. He knew that there was more to why he had

    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

    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
