Chapter 31. Who does not like power?
Three years had passed and the search for Gabriel in the city of Mayca had totally died. Byron and his men have up their search and hope that he will return. For him not to be found after a year plus was enough reason for them to buy the belief that Gabriel was gone for good. They believed that he was finally dead. So Byron joined the other generals to long for the throne.There was no need for him to keep the belief that Gabriel was still alive. He formerly did not want to ascend the throne because he believed that Ronald Rodgers was still alive. So now that his death was confirmed and his son also; even if his dead body was not seen. It now meant that the mantle of leadership was compulsorily going to fall on one of the generals and who on earth would not like to be king? Who does not like power? Those were the questions he used in justifying himself for wanting to be king over Tadeas.When it was obvious that Byron Hass now had the same dream of being king over Tade

Chapter 32. You lied to us....
Gabriel was about hitting the road with Colin Parker. They were heading to join Enoch in the hunt, when suddenly he came out from behind panting heavily.They were shocked when Enoch came into sight, breathing like someone who was being chased by a jaguar."What is it...?" Colin asked as both him and Gabriel rolled their eyes around, looking very alert to see what was chasing their friend.Enoch could not say a word instantly, so he had to spend some time regaining and stabilizing his tension. He noticed the alertness of Colin and Gabriel, and he knew what went through their minds."Please I was not chased by anything.""Then why were you running at such a speed?""Your enemies are here again.... there is someone from Tadeas who is desperately looking for you....""That is not true. After all these, I don't think that is possible..." Colin disagreed with Enoch."It is very much possible, my friend... They sent a young lady to find you so it would not look obvious."As Gabriel heard th

Chapter 33. Your people need you.
When he had taken her to the small place where he was managing and she had eaten the meal he offered. It was now time for him to answer her questions and also tell him why she was there. Enoch and Colin did not return to their various houses that night, they decided to stay with Gabriel and he agreed. After all, it was something common, most times they spend the night together at either of their houses."So tell me, since you claim that Gabriel is your real name. Why does the people here say there is no one that goes by that name?""That is because they don't trust you or anyone from Tadeas. After what happened to my father, They decided not to tell anyone from Tadeas about me. They will always tell them that I was no more. To the soldiers from Tadeas, I died the same day my father was killed. So they are only protecting me from death."It was now clear to her why nobody agreed to know him in the entire town. If she called the name Gabriel, they will say he does not exist and if she c

Chapter 34. Broken promise.
Colin had to join them by sitting on the too, "She told me everything. You never wanted to come home if not that she persuaded you. She spoke of how you vowed never to leave Tadeas, but here you are after she saw you when you escaped from the hand of Byron and his men. Now she has come to persuade you again to return. The country has not been in a good space since you left so you need to go back and fix it.""Did she tell you that I have nobody?""That was then, now you have me.""And me.""We will go with you to Tadeas and help you claim your place. Whereas, you also have Byron Hass and his army. They are for you and are waiting for your return.""That was the same army that caught and held me prisoner in their domain.""They were doing it for your own good. According to what she told me, you would have been killed twice if not for their intervention. Byron has turned from who he was and is now fighting for the throne instead of defending it for you.""Am I to listen to you or my fat

He was pushed to write a note for them and then leave the town for Tadeas.When the sun had risen and his friends came so that they would embark on the hunt which they had planned for.

My mind will not cease to trouble me, so I

Chapter 36. Gabriel is dead.
The next morning, the three of them were at the house of Byron. Abby had just been ushered into the receiving hall of lord Byron. Then Kevin came to meet her."O Abby, it's been awhile," The last time they saw was after the death of Mueller. "You asked to see lord Byron?""Yes sir, we can wait if he is busy.""No he is not. He will soon be with us." Kevin sat down, "These men are not from Mayca, where did you find them?" He was able to distinguish.Colin and Enoch were surprised as to how he knew that they were strangers in the city.Just as she was about to give a response to him, Byron came in so she stood up and bowed to him. Enoch and Colin also did the same."You can sit." Byron said and then went to his executive seat. "Who are these men that you came with? I can tell that they are strangers. So where did you find them?"The same question has been repeated so they looked at themselves to know if there was anything that made them different from the people they came across while i

Chapter 37. Flesh and blood.
The fourth day has passed yet Gabriel was not there, so now they were not the only ones worried. Abby tok had joined them because according to her estimation, the journey should take a maximum of three days but now it was already four days."I think we have been patient enough. We have to find Gabriel and hope he has not been killed by his enemy."They said to Abby and she could not stop them again because she needed to see Gabriel. Even in her worries, while Colin and Enoch were thinking that Gabriel had been caught by the soldiers of Ceevah, she was thinking that maybe he had gone to another place where he would not be found. Somewhere he would no longer be reminded of his identity. This strong thought that he was still alive was because she knew of Gabriel's history and experience in Tadeas, that he could be difficult to find if he did not want to. So the soldiers of Ceevah would not be able to catch him so easily within a few days of his return into the country.As Enoch and Colin

Chapter 38. Show yourself.
As lord Byron Hass came to the hall where Gabriel and his friends had been waiting for him. He was frozen at the entrance as he beheld the face of Gabriel. While they stood to salute him. He was unable to return their greeting and they knew what had happened to him. To him, he has seen a ghost and maybe what he was seeing was not what he was expecting. The return of Gabriel will bring him to forsaking his desire to be king just like the other generals."Do not be afraid my lord Byron. It is I Gabriel and not a ghost."Byron could not still say anything, but at least he was unfrozen and moved to his seat.It was when he had taken his seat that he then said, "Who am I seeing?" "It is I, Gabriel Ken, son of Newton Ken, also known as Ronald Rodgers, grandson of Rodgers Chung, king over the country of Tadeas. I have returned to take place as king and lord over the country.""This is not happening. Gabriel is dead. Even if it is Gabriel, I know him very well, he does not want to be king ov

Chapter 39. Tadeas have no king.
With at their back and the two soldiers at their front, Gabriel had to have a rethink just as they had insisted on him. They were right, he should not have expected them to believe he was the one after three years of thinking that he was dead. It was just not normal.With him thinking still without moving Colin knew what was going on in his mind, so he said. "Follow your instincts. They will not mislead you."Immediately after that word, Gabriel said to them. "Let's go back."And his declaration put smiles on Abby's face. That was exactly what she wanted to hear. So Gross and Riggs jumped down from the horse's back, and asked Gabriel and his friends to get on it and go ahead of them. So Gabriel climbed one horse with Abby while Enoch and Colin climbed the second one and beat the horses to move at a fast pace. So Gross and Riggs waljee down to the house of Byron on foot.As they came again into the house of Byron, he was standing with Kevin waiting for him. It was as if he foresaw that

Chapther 40. Control your tongue
The news about Gabriel did not take two days before it got to the ears of general Dylan Ryan of Cyb. How it got to his ears was something that was never known.It was the day when the training of Gabriel, Colin and Enoch was to begin and they slated the house of Abby to be the first location. That was the place they chose to dwell even though Byron had offered a good room in his house. They did not want to be in the midst of so many soldiers that was why they chose Abby's house. She was okay without their presence and they decided to use a field at the back of the house.Commander Kevin Hodge has just prepared himself to leave with Frost and Gross to the location of the day's training ground. Then he saw General Dylan Ryan coming towards the gate with seven of his men. What he was coming to do was something they could not imagine, but definitely it was not for war because the men with him were too few to wedge war in an energy territory. Also it was not for peace that they came.Kevin
