19 Chapter 19: Overthrown Counterfeit

Tirzah slapped the card on the table when Elim stated the deal. She suddenly felt her stomach going wild. Does her intestine know how to party? She excused herself to visit the toilet. Elim thought that he might have offended her but her silent fart invaded his nose right after she run to the cubicle. Elim needed to run away outside due to the foul smell. Here, he thought that he was able to drive the butterflies within her insane but he was the one who got drive out from her crazy fart. Seriously this woman is not her ideal type but at the moment he still felt frivolous due to her sudden blush when he established his eyes with her.

She cleared her throat when she got back. Elim tried to act like it was nothing but for some reason they both started to laugh in harmony. Tirzah said she will honestly back out of their game since the deal was obviously beneficial alone to him. Elim handed her the shoe he designed and had Iconio craft it. It was the same shoes she used to wear whenever they met on the dream. A black and white snicker that is waterproof. Tirzah was amazed to see the exact shoes her father brought.

"Where did you get this?" Tirzah inquired in astonished.

"Iconio made it but I did the draft." Elim said as he scratch the back of his neck bashfully. He glanced at Tirzah and asked. "You don't like it?"

Tirzah grinned at him and answered

" I like it! thanks."

The sound of wheel dribbling on the rough ground did not alarmed Elim who is travelling on his way to the Capital.

His eyes were closed but his current consciousness is on a vision.

His eyes saw a congregation suddenly the vision flashed a seconds of bridge, water and a dove. His ears caught the noisy and bustling sound from the capital.

Elim was delighted to see how beautiful the main Capital was. It's been long since he had his heel kiss some modern ground aside from hills and rivers. It was like a city but is more cultural, traditional and plain. According to Eshcol's information they are governed by a King but the Ligament village was well known even if it's located deep in the mountain was due to the founder of the whole foundation who was adopted by the villagers. When the current King got seated on the throne he had blessed Ligament as his second home. Eshcol even mentioned that his reason for escaping was unknown.

Elim walked around with his eyes feasting because of the market, shops and stalls lined up on the alley. He halted in front of the fountain. His mind drifted when Tirzah jump off the waterfall to save Mr. Pipe. The clear water got wings by her black and frizzy strands. Her body got hugged by the waves and the slight rainbow forming when the rays of sun hit the water's bubbling ripples made her literally looked like a nymph. That night Elim sketched how she looked. His sweet recollection got banged by someone who accidentally bump unto him that causes him to tumbling backwards to the core of the fountain.

The people paused and everybody helped him get out of the water, some people offered him clothes, shoes, bags and other things which causes his laugage to multiply. Nonetheless the people have shown kindness without holding back. A woman with soft brown and twirling locks to her waist bowed at him in apology. Elim noticed her cream colored pupil. For a moment Elim thought that she's pretty.

"Pastor Elim, I am sorry that was because I was clumsy." She stated shyly.

Elim just said it was fine and asked.

"By the way, what is your name?"

The woman smiled at him and extended her hand.

"I am Vaniah Ishvi, I am a desciple of Pastor Tiras Mamre."

Elim was happy to encounter another person who is in the same line as him and offered.

"That's great, how about we go together to the venue, it's my first time here in the Capital and I can't read a map."

Vaniah politely agreed and they both reached the main venue.

Pastor Tiras Mamre was one of the main preacher. He is the Pastor of this Capital. He is also the main adviser of Mayor Vopshi. Aside from the exhortation and dynamic prayer they had some meet and greet by the latter.

Vaniah introduced Elim to her mentor. They visited the reception for lunch when a sudden quake occurred within the area.

The upheaval had put an extreme agitation and radical changes within the whole building. The capital was shaken all the people near the theatre venue had been damaged, wounded and injured. The casualties had taken most of the Pastor's life. Vosphi instructed to send an emergency alarm in the whole place that reached the villages. The Knights have been notified so are the captains of each villages.

Iconio informed Tirzah and the gang.They immediately left the village in care of Eshcol and Mahli. Tirzah Iconio and Jogli hasted toward the Capital. The headlong ride drop them at the scene. Even Vopshi's office were trashed.

Igos arrived with his official. Guni and Jahleel's gang joined them.

Vopshi's team were crippled. The Vice Mayor was rushed on the nearest hospital. The vendors and merchants near the theatre were also being tended. The whole fellowship venue were in rubbles. Vopshi looked like he got electrified his clothes and face were dirty but he still made an announcement.

"Lend us your hand to find our pastors who were caught in the sudden shock wave. The knights are currently inspecting the root of all the disaster. We appreciate your help." Vopshi shouted at the top of his lungs and bowed his head.

Tirzah's heart drummed like it would explode. The rapid and violent pumping of her blood vessel is tempting her volcanic nature. It's already night time but they only located the Pastors that are already dead. Jogli bowed his head in desperation. Iconio fisted his gentle palm in heartsore. Their mornings got stolen by a deep darkness.
