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
Zachary could not say anything to Morgan who came to console him. The Prince was standing next to him and so was Eric. They lacked the words to say to him. The entire soldiers that had helped in searching for Harris' body could feel the pain their legend was going through.Commander Benjamin, kept his distance from Zach at that point as he had no words to say, so he allowed those of higher rank to talk to him and make him rise again to his feet.So many of the men knew that what was happening now was able to make Zach take his life because that was the story that was told of him years ago when he vanished. It was said that he could not bear the loss of his entire family, so he died of grief. Well, now it had happened before their eyes as they could see with confirmation that his last heir was no more, so that story which was said of him was going to come to fulfillment.Eric could fill his grief as the thoughts of not being close to his daughter came into his mind. His case was diffe
As King Luca Cole entered the tent, he saw Zach sitting on the floor at one corner. He was looking weak and in sorrow of which he understood. Despite his barging into the tent without his consent, Zach did not utter any word, nor did he even look up to see who it was. He heard everything that was said outside, so he knew without looking that it was the King that had entered the tent.Luca then approached him gently as he saw the abnormal manner which Zach had squeezed himself to one corner, he said calmed. "Zach… Zach…." He repeated his name because he refused to answer him on purpose. Since he had not made any move as he came in, he attempted touching him as he thought that he might be sleeping. "Please leave me alone, your majesty." Zach finally answered him even before he would touch him. Then he raised his face which he had buried in-between his knees and looked at the King. His eyes were coloring red as he had been crying ever since. Though he was angry that Luca had gone agains
As they were seated in the commander's camp, Aaron began with the question, "Your majesty, what exactly did you tell Zach that caused him to raise his voice at you?" King Luca knew that they must ask him that question but he did not know what to answer. So he was silent even though they were all waiting for him to say something because he must definitely say something. Since they really want to know this, he began, "Please, let none of you judge me because I did not know why such came out of my mouth." With the way he had started by telling them not to judge him, they knew that what he said was something he shouldn't have said, so their curiosity to know what he said rose as they made signs telling him that they would not judge him as requested. Therefore he continued, "I mistakenly mentioned that his son is not dead and could still be found since his corpse was not seen in the battlefield." As they heard this it was very irritating to their ears as it was actually something he sho
"These questions you ask are the same thing I keep asking myself, yet I am unable to come up with an answer." Eric confessed to Ben, and Ben, a man of understanding could understand quickly that they were all mortal and have certain characteristics which can not be inseparable even though he was from another world and timeline. "So do you have any suggestions of what we must do?" Ben was asking him because he was looking up to him for direction even though he had no rank in the army. For the fact that he was their savior whom everyone was looking up to, including the King and his senior colleagues, he too must look up to him. "There is no other thing to do, other than what the King had already done but it wasn't successful. Our only option here is to talk to Zach, but we can not tell whether that will be successful or not." "Then we have to keep trying. With our consistent trial, he might have a change of heart and come to see things the way we see it." "Do we all believe that Harr
Well, Zach was also ready to give Eric a million reasons why he should not come with him. "What is beyond the borders of Palind is beyond you. You can not survive out there.""Same thing applies to you. We need each other to survive beyond the domain of the human race or else you have another mission out there which you don't want to tell me.""Like what?""Maybe you want to commit suicide out there. You said it yourself that beyond Palind's border lies a lot of trouble and dangers that one can not survive alone, so you need a partner, someone to watch your back. I would not let you embark on this journey alone." "Why are you so stubborn?""Because you have taught me to be, so I am only following what I was taught." Eric answered him. "I am already prepared as I have my staff with me."Then Benjamin came back with a sack packed with snacks as Zach had instructed him. "Sir, here is what you requested.""Thank you Ben." Zachary took it from him before adding. "When his majesty or the g
Well, since Zach had answered him sharply, it was known to them that he did not want Eric Claus to know about Zagthak for reasons best known to him of which they had no clue about. So they stuck to keeping their mouths shut and not telling him anything about it."That is now what we should be talking about now. When the time is right, you will know about Zagthak. As for now, we have other things to prepare towards, which the most important now is to secure our cities." King Luca Cole told him. Now Eric went back to thinking about why those orcs came back to harvest the corpse of the seer. Then he began to compare and contrast it with what they had said about Zagthak. But since it was something they had told him that he would know about when the time is right, it was now left for him to go back to the mission which he was about to embark on with Zachary Hawkins."Since protecting the country is now our main priority, we shall take our leave to Newgriffin." Zachary lied so that they wo
Now when the question bobbling inside them had come to its peak, and their hearts could no longer hold it back, the young Prince was the one to raise the question and he referred it to commander Benjamin. "You were here with Zach and Eric when they started the plan to leave, so tell us, where are they heading, because I can not longer hide back my feelings as I never believed that they going to Newgriffin."Commander Ben was not pleased with the question. He did not have any slight thought about them asking the question that had been put before him, so he shutter, looking for the best words to say as a response. "Your highness…. We were all here when the legend told us that they were going to Newgriffin, so what do you want me to say? If I should mention somewhere different from where they had told us, would it be believed? Are you going to believe me?"The reply which he thought to be a good response was not good at all as it even made them know that there was another place in his mi
