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
With the trap he had set for the ogre, its foot was pierced with the spear, and as though the ogre knew that Eric would dodge from being stepped on, it immediately moved its second leg to. kick him. But due to the unpredicted action of Eric, as it raised the other leg to kick Eric, it could not stand because of the pain it had on the other leg caused by the spear that had wounded it. Therefore it staggered to the ground at once.In the same manner which it had predicted the movement of Eric to had want to kick him, that was the same way Eric predicted that move and knew that with his trap, the ogre will fall, so he immediately picked up the sword of one of the fallen soldiers, climbed on ogre, sinking the sword into its throat as that was the best place to kill any living thing. Eric did not take chances by making any delay to give the monsters a chance after it fell to the earth.The first ogre which Eric had attacked that kicked him to the one he killed, was its like fall and rushed
This last one was really torn to the flesh as it did not want to fall down. It had noticed that its kind that came with it to destroy the village was no longer alive and from the way Eric kept striking it, it knew of a surety that he was the one responsible for the death of the other two. If it were a creature that wonders, then it would be asking itself what kind of a human was Eric to be fast to the extent that it could not hit him, yet was accurate to the point that he knew where to strike for great effect and where not to strike. For the fact that it had known that Eric was responsible for the death of its fellow, it vowed to itself that it would avenge them. Either it kills Eric and lives, or they both go down together.Whatever the ogre was thinking and promising itself was none of Eric's business. He was going to kill this one and live just as he had done to the others. No matter how strong it proved to be, he was sure to kill it at all cost without dying, or passing out like
Honestly, it was now that Eric was getting a better explanation to why Zach did not want Harris out in the field. "So if you say it is not determination and believing in myself, what else could it be?""You are the one to tell us what other thing keeps you alive no matter the danger you embark into." King Luca answered him."Hmmm," Eric then breath out before giving them another answer because he had come to know that there were a whole lot of things keeping him alive, such as the fact and believe that he was in his game, thereby he was entitled to a specific number of life which he had used two and was left with either one or two more because all the games he had produced before now, he only gave his character three lives, so if had planned more lives for this game, then it would only be an addition of one which he was not sure about and was never going to try experiment it by allowing himself to die again. Back to the answer he was to give, he said, "I think it's because I have to
The word 'finally' made Eric Claus know that the seer had been expecting him to come there, therefore his asking what he was there for was not regarded as a question to him. He chose not to answer the question, instead he said. "If you had been expecting me, then you must have something you want to tell me and even you will know why I am here."That was a smart answer by Eric and the seer was not expecting him to say that, but he did and there was no way the words would be taken back as if they were not said. "I have asked you a question and demand an answer, not you pushing it back for me to answer." "You are not the one to tell me what to do. You just said it right that you have been waiting for me, so there is something you also want to tell me.""Stop misinterpreting my words and save our time.""If there is anyone amongst us that is making delays here, then it is you." Since the seer said the words he said when he entered there, he had shifted from asking the questions that had
King Luca and Aaron stayed calm waiting for him for over five hours of his discussion with the seer. When he joined them again, their hearts were set to ask him of how the conversation with the seer went, but they withdrew their tongues from saying those words because they had promised not to bother him about what was discussed with the seer. Therefore, it was left in his discretion to tell them or not."I believe your discussion went well with the seer?" King Luca changed his words at once because the other question was about coming out by force."Yes. But it was unfinished, so I will be coming back some other to complete my conversation with him." He said as climbed the back of the horses again, sitting the way they had been sitting since Eric's ride ran away. Then they head back to Raychester to see how the place was and plan on the next thing to do.*****News flew, so the news of Raychester's fall flew beyond walls and even beyond the country of the human race, that is beyond Pal
Zachary noticed the King talking with the captain and then gave his son instruction which he moved with haste to carry out, so he came close to the King and asked. "What is going on, your majesty?""Thank goodness you are here. We need all men ready for war, both soldiers and civilians. At this point, Harris will have to fight." The King said to Zachary.With the manner in which those words were said, it was known that the situation was very serious, therefore he could not hide his son from battle while those who were not trained at all would be fighting. He obeyed and left to gather the people.Then King Luca headed for the military camp to enlighten the soldiers there with the current situation of things, because every man was going to fight, whether he served in the medicals or other non combat unit. As he went to the military camp, he met his second son, and said. "I believe you have been informed?""About what, father?" Prince Ethan was yet to know about the situation. He had se
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. "M
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
“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
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
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
