Since Aaron Gordon was the highest ranked officer in the troop, his instruction was obeyed without questioning, even though some of them still thought that Eric was the rider who is controlling the dragon on what to do and what not to do.While the soldiers did as General Aaron had ordered, Eric then gained enough distraction as he moved on the dragon's back from its trail end down to the neck joint.As he made this move on the dragon, the soldiers who were doubting who he was now believed what Aaron had said. They were able to discern that if he was the dragon rider in control of the dragon, then the dragon would not be seeking for means to throw him down. And for this reason, they did not give the dragon any chance to do what it had in mind.The fight was now tougher than the dragon had expected, so it was time it would leave the fight, but before doing so, it had to release another astonishing strike which was its fire breath which it had gathered, ready to pour out.Eric who was o
While his command was being carried out, he took the staff and went to meet Eric where he was lying on the ground since he kind of needed aid before he could get up and walk.As he came to the spot where Eric was lying, he sat on the ground beside him and said, "You did it, Eric."Eric, whose eyes were closed when Aaron drew near, had to open his eyes at the sound of those words and look at Aaron who made the pronouncement.Aaron intentionally did not touch Eric because he knew that it was merely closing of his eyes, because he had seen him when he fell from the dragon and tried standing up but couldn't. So he knew Eric was just resting, nothing more. As Eric opened his eyes and looked at him, he said again because those looks carried a question that needed to be answered and since he discerned what the question was, there was no need waiting for it to be put in words. "The dragon is dead, and guess who did it? ....You. You've killed the dragon."As he heard this he turned his neck to
Just as Aaron uttered his first words, King Luca looked at him with this weird look that told him that he was not ready to hear any wise words from any of them at the moment. So Aaron held his peace apologizing to him for the words which he had spoken. "I'm sorry your highness."Eric was still on the horse, as he made the horse walk around the place, seeing the great multitude that had died both by the collapsed building and in the hands of the dragon. He was never happy with what his eyes were seeing because he could see that those who the dragon had taken down with him were so much that even the dragon's death would not take away such pain from them.When he had gone around the place and came back to the spot where King Luca was, he was shocked that even with Aaron and Zach beside him, he was still in so much pain, so he wondered how the both of them were unable to console the King. "Your majesty, you are in pain but that does not mean you should be like this. Look around you, your
Now the wound of Eric Claus had been opened for too long, that it should have been treated before now, so he was loosing strength that he could no longer hold on to the horse, therefore he fell from it to the ground and that made Aaron who had turned around his horse to ride out of Raychester to stop again and see what was happening, only to see that it was Eric who had fallen to the ground and both the King and Zach jumped from their rides to find out what had caused him to fall.It was now that Aaron remembered that Eric was injured and needed treatment which should have been done earlier on. So he came back to them again and helped take him to the place where he would be treated.Since this had happened within the camp, the closest place to carry him was to the medical unit so they would save his life. Though most medical soldiers had joined in the fight against the dragon because being a medical personnel did not stop them from having the basic training every soldier had. Even th
That information made Reece shocked as it was noticed in his body motion. He could not believe his ears. No one would ever believe that the great rayc will ever fall. But with the manner in which Aaron used to break the news he could tell that it was true and serious.While he was quiet in shock, Aaron said a simple prayer in his heart asking that the words he had said would be convincing to Prince Reece and make him leave the argument and follow him so they will go and meet his brother, Ethan. He had begun the breaking of the news to the Prince so there was every tendency that if Prince Reece was not moved by that news about Raychester's fall, them he might have to go further and tell him about the death of his mother too, as it was believed that definitely that one would make him want to go with him at once to Raychester.Reece Cole lingered a little as he was processing the information which he had heard before he asked. "I hope you are not joking with me? Because I hate lies.""Yo
When they had come to Raychester, the Queen had already been and so was all those that had passed on during the fight. The King was with Zach when Aaron arrived with his sons and the Putrid squad. Only the two Princes with Aaron came to meet King Luca Cole and Zachary Hawkins where they stood talking about what they were to do next even as they were still mourning the dead.Prince Reece and Ethan could see the way the dragon had caused the great castle to collapse flat with the fire that had burnt the place. While they drew near to where their father was standing, they kept rolling their eyes around to find their mother the Queen."Father," Reece said because they had come from behind.As he heard his son's voice, he turned around together with Zachary. "Welcome," he hugged them at the same time."Father, where is mother?" The younger Prince asked while King Luca held them tight, not wanting to let go.It was from the way he was holding them that had made them suspect that their moth
Reece had no clue of what the staff was; all he wanted was to hold the staff full of such power that had been mentioned by the witnesses of these things. He looked the staff up to down twice then he winged it a little but nothing was noticed. It was like every other weapon which was being used by soldiers. So he handed it over again to the owner."What do you think about the staff?" Eric asked him after taking it back for him."Nothing. It is very normal, just as everyone's weapon is." "You did not see the thing done by that staff, that is why you are saying this." Aaron who had seen more asked."You did not see these things with your eyes, that is why it seems as if that staff is normal.""I did not say that you did not see will, nor do I doubt what had been done with that staff. All I am saying is that the staff can be used by any of us here but it will not do the mysteries which it is supposed to do when in the hands of Eric."The words of Bradley Rogers flashed the mind of King L
As they were getting close to the boundaries of the village, they could hear the sound of battle as villagers were screaming, running here and there. Even the voices of the monsters that had attacked the village were heard.They did not need anyone to tell them what they were there for again. The three of them came to understand that their mission there was to help the villagers of Oldgriffin.Riding into the main village, where the struggle was waxing high, they could see the ogres that had attacked the people and they were destroying buildings, crushing soldiers and villagers with both hands and legs, as they ate some of the people.The few soldiers who were there in defense of the city were now running helter-skelter because even they themselves needed protection and wanted to live.From what Eric saw here, he then understood why Harris told him that they could not fight the ogres. Again he was now proud of the soldiers under Aaron's command in Northby when he first went there and
