Stuck in my Game World. 93. Fifty fifty.
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

"Please don't be," Zach pleaded before going into the answer as demanded. "Zagthak is an orc and represent King Luca in the orc kingdom."This sounded very interesting to Eric as his ears found it difficult to believe such a thing. It was very unimaginable that there was an orc civilization with a ruler.Zach saw the doubtful surprise in his face and had to explain more, "It is nothing to be surprised about. What were you thinking was responsible for the attacks of the orcs? They have a King, who seeks to conquer our lands for itself and rule.""But how can these monsters have such wisdom and thinking mentally? Because I don't seem to understand how this is possible. In the world where I come from, these are myths, they never existed as we only hear of some of them in fairy tales and most times see some movies that feature them in diverse forms.""Well, this is a different world as you know, and you can see that these creatures are not false, they exist and have their civilization.

Seeing that Zach lay down again, he thought maybe that was the time he wanted to start his sleep so he did not throw any question, but lied back with him as they were lying before the conversation kicked off.Even as they lied back again, sleep did not come into their eyes as they were just counting the stars quietly and observing the beauty of the night sky.When Eric later noticed that Zach had not fallen asleep as he thought and the night was not coming to an end, he thought it best if they finished the conversation as he asked his questions. "Since King Cole had settled with the orcs, what led to the war again?""Don't you ever get tired?" Zach asked him. "Of course I do, but I need to gather all the information about the world I am meant to save. Where I come from, there is a popular saying that information is power so I need all the information I can get concerning your world."Zach thought deeply about the words he had spoken of and it was clear to him why he was asking those

Well, Eric Claus was not ready to give up, nor was he ever going to give up especially now that they had come out of the country to that territory being dominated by monsters.At this point, the sky was beginning to brighten up again, so it was even safer ro Zach as he believed that he would be able to continue the journey alone, leaving Eric to return to Palind if he wants, and continue to deceive the people as he thought and concluded."Zachary Hawkins, this is not who you are," Eric tried speaking sense to him. "Everything I have told you about myself is true. I only discovered my magical powers recently.""Lies…" Zach shut him out. "All lies. That is all you know how to do. You are not who you made us believe you are. No wonder the prophecy changed the moment you showed up in our country. I believe the seer had seen this right from the first day he set his eyes on you but you used your powers to stop him from saying it out. You manipulated him with your powers."Eric knew at this

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

189. Discharged.
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
