Chapter 115: Vesture Eaten by Moth.
Ophir asked the villagers who is the remaining pastor in the area and they were led to a fifteen year old boy. His feature is like a stipulate leaves on spring and a cleistogamous flower on summer. He is too young but well according to the apostles on the scriptures that age and youth is not the basis of serving God. His countenance is inspiring. The whole team instantly got drawn unto the boy. The peaceful aura he radiates made them felt at ease.
"My name is Kish Lorelei. Thank you for being here with us."
The Tale Bearers were speechless and glanced at Lehi. Lehi was awestrucked and studied the young priest's face. Kish looked like her late grandfather.
Lehi accepted Kish hand and tightly held it. She kneeled to align herself with the fifteen year old boy in front of her and gently assured him.
"You will surely live grandpa!"
Ophir and Nevi grin at each other but Hexel and Ain felt deaf at what they just heared. Kish looked confused as well and tilted his head as he cutely smiled.
"Hmmn, what did you say young lady?"
Lehi suddenly realise what she just said and quickly mashed up an excuse.
"I mean your service and life is grandpa like... hmmn.. how do i phrase it? your service have impact a legacy to... to your villagers... he.. he. he.." Lehi spoke with involuntary prolongation.
Hexel and Ain nodded at her statement. Ophir and Nevi congratulated Lehi for meeting and witnessing her ancestor's legacy. The whole team stayed and guarded the house. But the enemy was mindful. The foe set the field in a flame using a wild rat to run and have the grains burn. The people panicked and cried for their farm and harvest.
Ophir laid the instructions to avoid the plan from being dispersed.
"Stay on guard! Don't get rattled. Trust our plan. Ain open a space and make this water drops bigger to kill the fire. Hexel pour the basin with him. Urchin hold Kish hands. Lehi and Nevi stay close with them. I will visit and inspect the place."
Ain put his hand unto his chest and used his index finger to slice the dimension.
"Our God who knows and bless the earth with His downpour. Help us to maximize what we have using the gift You bestowed on us. We are gracious of Your love upon us through the rain that You will shower to subdue the flames.Amen."
The dimension got sliced in pentagon. Ophir jump in and inspect the area. Hexel poured the water from the basin as Ain resize it. The droplets became a cascading waterfall and the glossy ovate color turned unto a stream and pigment of green and violet.
Ophir turned on their communication device given by Natalina who is with Asno at Terifimo.
"Do as we have planned. Concel your presence."
Lehi, Hexel and Ain hid inside a bottle. Thanks to Ain. Kish sat at his usual table and waited for the opponent to approach. When the villagers applause ended, the vield opponent transported behind Kish. Kish faced him and just smiled at him as the enemy approached.
The opponent spoke as he yanked Kish's neck with his single hand.
"How can you smile when you are about to shake hand with death?" The voice were of many husk and with reverb. Nevi froze when he heeded the familiar voice.
The opponent raised his hand to stab Kish's neck when Urchin paused his time. Urchin invited everyone on the trance. Nevi helped Kish and looked at what is beyond the veil only to see a deformed face of a man. It seem's that his face got poured with acid.
Ain put him on the bottle as he shrink his size. When the enemy's time got resumed. His self already got contained inside a bottle. He tried to used his scalpel but was useless. Kish spoke gently and compassionately.
"I have heared of your sin and hatred. Indeed you have killed a lot of us but it's not enough for us to condemn you."
The man growled and replied.
"Don't be ridiculous! No one can fully bestow forgiveness. I am one of those who was unforgiven. Why don't you admit that false humility!"
Nevi balled his fist but Ophir tap his shoulder. Kish replied with the same tone.
"That's true. But you see forgiveness is a long term healing and process. When you declare it, it will surely happen. If nobody forgives you, then I will do it for you. Accept it, so that you'll stop being unfair toward yourself."
The man wept at Kish's wisdom.It's the word he yearned to hear. It's something that he unconsciously waited. The man surrendered and reveal where did he hid the organs and why did he commit the crimes.
"My name is Ben. I had a wife who was pregnant. We lived in faith and was active in doing good works. Until one day an army stopped by at our town and plundered all we had. They killed the men but I was able to survive when I woke up I got laughed and scroned by the people. I strided to seek my wife's body and found her got stab on the chest and her ears were severely bitten.
I cried out for help but nobody reached out. I tried to speak even shouted but no one listened. So i decided to take away what makes people ugly and unguided."
Nevi again cries because of what he just heared. Ain sob as he wipe his snot using Hexel's cape. Despite wearing his uniform he never abandoned his signatured cape. Kish started right their and then to prayed for the man who continued to shamelessly cried.
"Our Father who have seen our destiny and knew what is weighing our heart. I uplift to You this person whose heart is broken and was losed. I hereby declare Your healing, peace and grace upon his life. To those who were affected and hurted by him, I humbly asked of Your glorious hand to touch their heart and give them the ability to forgive. We thank Your amazing love. Amen."
