Stuck in my Game World. 87. The legend's grief.
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

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
