Back on the main surface, the orcs that were turning around the fence of Raychester came to the place that had been broken and they saw the few orcs that had escaped from the slaughter as they prepared to leave Raychester and journey back to the outer lands where they believed the others had retreated to give report to their leader, Zagthak.

In orcish language the orc commander called their attention to come back and they did turn around to see that the orc commander who they had thought left them did not leave them as thought. They were glad to turn again and join with them as they were asked what had happened there to have made them retreat.

"Human race is difficult to wipe off the face of this earth. They got help, and a battalion of riders rallied against us from behind." One of them still answered in their orcish language because that was the language they knew how to communicate in.

Being very determined to defeat all life in Raychester, the commander said based on his discretio

    Eric looked for a place to sit down after coming out of the tunnel. He sat down in deep thoughts. He was lost in his thoughts, everything was too hard for him to comprehend. His countenance was broken. Harris was the one who looked around and saw him where he was sitting with facial expressions telling his frustration and anger. Since Zachary was moving around with Aaron to see that the city was in a stable state so that they would not fear, Harris then left his side and came to sit close to Eric."What is the matter Sir?" Harris asked as if he did not know that the fall of Raychester was able to make anyone so devastated and look very weary."Oh, Harris. I'm glad you made it." Eric said. He had not taken time to look out for those who survived. "Where is your father?""He is over there with General Aaron. I sighted you sitting in thought and confusion so I came to know what the problem was.""It's the fall of Raychester as we both know." He answered even when that was not the main r

    Now this was serious because Ethan could not believe that a prophecy like that was made yet he did not know about it. Well, he stuck to the reason why he had sat with Eric. He went back to encouraging him. "Whether a second prophecy or not, since the world does not know of it, we will keep holding on to the first that says you are going to deliver us from the terrors of these monsters. So hold firm to that and you will see it happen before your eyes. Trust me in this and see.""You are very positive and convincing," Eric confessed to him as those words were really helping him to think positive and not negative."We all have to be positive as our thoughts have a great impact on what comes to us. I really like now that you are not looking too worried. Take away some thoughts from your mind even though I know it is very difficult to stop thinking about a family, especially when it is your child."Though his face had been lightened by those words, he knew that Ethan did not still get the

    The news about Raychester city being destroyed went around the country and came to the ears of General Morgan Elliot who was in the city of Newgriffin leading and helping the soldiers there. The news came to him, saying that no life was left in the Raychester, and the King was fighting with his two sons, Aaron, Zach and even the American. The city had searched and all they could see were dead bodies which were burnt, therefore recognizing the King nor his sons was now possible.These words had come to the General on the same day that the King and those men came out from the tunnel in the Warcton fortress. Therefore the deliverers of this message were right in what they had said since neither the King nor his son would survive the battle and stay hidden for five days. General Morgan Elliot was the best person this news came to since he was now the highest ranked officer in the whole country. He wept after hearing this sad news and did not know what to do. He knew that for them to bri

    Eric took a while to think about this as he kept rolling his eyeballs, looking at them as he saw their eagerness to hear something good from him, but there was only one thing coming into his mind at this point, and he believed that was what they all had in mind yet they were expecting another thing from him.Prince Ethan was the only one who understood him better and his reason for not wanting the entire people of Palind to assemble to two or three cities, and that was because he had entered a conversation with Eric earlier that day.Well, since nothing else was coming into his mind, he had to go with the thing that he had predicted all of them to have in their mind. "Is there still a need for me to tell you what we must do? I have seen in all our faces that you already know what we must do.""What I have in mind might not be the same as what Aaron or Oliver or any other person has, so tell us what it is and leave making assumptions." King Luca said to him as he wanted to hear what he

    When it was sun rise, and the leaders of the army who had partook in the meeting that was held last night began to set out for the other cities of the country, Eric Claus chose to go to Riverston so that he could meet with the seer as they had planned to see days ago if not for the battle that began in Raychester.While they left Warcton fortress, the news of King Luca Cole and his sons surviving the war also spread throughout the cities as it gave hope to the people once again.When Eric Claus came to the city of Riverston, down to the dwelling of the seer who had come to see, he saw some orcs in the environment and at once he attacked them all by himself, about twenty of them.What they were there for was something he could not guess but he knew that they had no good intentions for being there.The orcs attacked him at once, since he was alone, it was easily concluded by the creatures that they would bring an end to him with ease. But things didn't go as they had presumed. He fought

  • Stuck in my Game World.   85. Commender Benjamin.

    When the words got to Prince Ethan that the next city to be attacked was Riverston, he had doubts about it as they had all concluded that Warcton would be the next city since it was the greatest city and the orcs were now going for the larger territories before the smaller ones. It took Ethan several hours before he finally agreed to go to Riverston with soldiers as the messengers had brought to him.On the part of Zachary Hawkins, he did not think it twice, as he was not totally in support of what others thought concerning Warcton being the next target of the orcs. He set out with a good number of soldiers to come to Riverston for aid. Amongst these men was his son, Harris who he will never let out of his sight because he knew that no place was safe again, so he had to fight side by side with Harris to keep him safe.To General Morgan, it was too early for the orcs to attack another city seeing that they had conquered Raychester. Most of all, if they were to launch another attack, wh

    It was the best decision that they made by following the leadership of commander Ben. Just as he had said, catching up with the orcs away from the city boundaries was best they could do. Attack was the best form of defense. Their marching out to meet the orcs was something their enemy never expected from the human race, especially from the city to Riverston.Gorlúk, the orc commander never predicted this action from the soldiers of Riverston, even the number of soldiers it saw marching towards them wasn't what it had expected, so it knew that their conquering of Raychester was an eye opener to the other cities of the human race. It was without a doubt known to it that Riverston will not fall that day, but that did not make him stop its army. It pressed as there was another mission which it must achieve that day, which was getting the head of the seer, who had already been killed. When Gorlúk saw Eric, Zach and Harris amongst the enemy marching out to its army, it knew that it could n

    Back to the battlefield, the fight was waxing higher and higher. It was tougher than both the orcs and humans thought it would be. But in all, the humans were prevailing.During the battle, Eric and Zach ensured that Harris was not harmed, as more orcs were coming towards them, yet they were unable to tell that the orcs were after Harris. They thought that they had made so many kills that all eyes were now on them to bring them down.Harris was really doing well in combat and he also made a lot of kills, as he fought beside his father and Eric.With what Gorlúk was seeing in the field and how Eric was also protecting the same person who Zachary was keeping safe, it knew that Harris was not only a target to get Zachary separated from the rest of the soldiers, also it came to know that Eric would be separated from the army too if they could get their target. So it raised its voice, speaking in orcish language, charging the orcs to be more serious in getting Harris out of the field.With

    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
