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
Immediately Aaron Gordon left their midst, they knew what he was up to and there was no way they were going to stay back and watch him do what he was about to do. So the four of them went after him, and for the first time commander Ben left his men under the control of his captains."Aaron…. Aaron…." They kept repeating his name in a very loud tone so that he would stop his movements and give ears to them. Yet Aaron would not pay attention to them, he continued on top of a horse and beat it to start running as supposed in the direction which it was directed.The King, Prince Ethan, Morgan and Benjamin followed him at once, they also climbed their horses and followed him. Now Aaron had a very big challenge which was to discern which route Zach and Eric took to leave the country. So he had to stop his horse after running a distance. Then those who were following him had the opportunity to catch up. Morgan was the one to ask as they came close. "What were you thinking, Aaron."He did
As Aaron asked Ethan that question, the minds of the others also came to reason the way he was reasoning, and they all needed answers from Ethan who had made the statement with so much confidence.Ethan was speechless at this moment, as he also wondered why he was talking about only Eric. He did not know what to tell them at this point in time. He was so quiet that even the people waiting for a response from him could tell that he did not know what he was saying.Since he was not going to answer the question Aaron asked, his father was now drawing an answer to why he had said that. He believed that he was just saying those words to only boast their minds to think positively, therefore, he thought it to be what a leader is supposed to do in such a time when it seems all hope is lost. In short, at this moment, it was no longer a probability, they were all sure that the war would not be won. But since King Luca had learnt something vital from his son, he had to put it into practice. So h
Since Zach had seen the fear of Eric, he had to calm him as he said, "You can do this Eric. You are tougher than you think and I believe in you. The entire country of Palind believe in you. So you should also believe in yourself. Make these monsters fear you instead of being afraid of them." Now those were the words he should have spoken in the first place instead of starting by building up fear in Eric's heart. Those were able to create the right spirit in Eric. As he heard them, the next thing that came into his heart was that since he does not belong to that world, there was no way he was going to die in that world. With the change of heart, thinking and mindset, he felt like continuing the journey which they had embarked on at once without further delay. "Shall we continue?" He asked, carrying the sack, ready to move. But Zach was not ready, he had successfully made Eric put away fear yet he had a greater fear in his heart. He could not find the courage to continue. He was just
