Memorial Service

A week has passed since the first chosen brutally killed themselves and today was the day to honor those innocent souls, in a memorial service called the Send-off.

So preparations were done, everyone who wanted to help out did help out it was a really busy day. The teams were also preparing to honor those who came before them.

The service began and everyone went to the church but in the holy place it is called the body of Christ, the crowd gathered together and the service was going to start really soon.

"Welcome children of my father, today we are gathered here today to pay respect and honor those innocent souls that were brutally slaughtered by someone who I have history with" Moses started the service.

Everyone knew the story of what had happened and they understood their purpose now, but others felt otherwise they felt like they were cheap knockoff, than the originals and others feared that since they were all under one roof won't what happened before happen once again. Won't history repeat itself.

The ceremony was going to be held by a priest and in the holy place there were only two people who had the right to be called and be known as priests. And those were Melchizedek and Aaron.

"Without further ado please allow me to welcome priest Melchizedek and priest Aaron" Moses called out the priests.

Everyone in the crowd awaited to see the both the priests come forward, but no one came.

"Okay maybe they didn't hear me let me try again, please let us welcome priest Melchizedek and priest Aaron" Moses called them again.

The outcome didn't really changed from the first time either Melchizedek or Aaron came forward, David came forward and he whispered something to Moses's ear.

"Okay ladies and gentlemen it seems like our two priests are out to do what priests do, but please thou shalt not worry because we have our own prophet to take over the rains. Please welcome Prophet Joseph" Moses called out his name.

Time passed and neither did Joseph come, this was now raising concerns all three of the most important people didn't pitch for one of the most important days. The crowd starts to get restless and Moses didn't know how to handle or attempt to explain this.

(Moses laughs awkwardly) "okay can we please bow our heads and bow, maybe they need us to welcome them with a prayer" Moses suggested.

Murmurs began from the crowds everyone was starting to wonder what was going on, the uneasiness and questions took over the church like a heatwave. Finally they stopped with the chatter and bowed their heads and prayed.

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil." Everyone prayed.

While everyone was praying an unfamiliar sound like something dangling came down the church's hallway, everyone kept on praying like nothing is happening. Only Ezra is the one hearing this sound.

Not only was whatever that dangling sound was the only thing that caught the attention of Ezra, but there were also footsteps approaching through the hallway and a tap on the floor like someone was using a stick or something. Ezra tried as hard as he can not to look or even give any indication that he can hear whoever that person was.

As the rest of the others kept on praying, that thing or person was now standing right next to Ezra.

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil." It prayed with them in a whisper voice.

Then it moved on and kept moving forward to the podium stand, and climb one stair at time and banging it's stick one stair step at a time. Then it stood behind the podium and started to flip the pages.

"You know you want to look at me Ezra, I know you are curious to see who am I" that voice spoke to Ezra.

Yes, Ezra did hear it but he didn't want to show so he kept his head bowed down, and he kept praying with the others.

"Mmm, oh yes. Hallelujah, ask him to forgive those who trespass against you, spoiler alert it is me. And ask him to deliver you from evil, again which is me" the voice teased.

Ezra kept ignoring whoever that was as the crowd and it's prayers got faster, he also kept up with them.

"Look at me Ezra, I know you wanna look at me" the voice called, but Ezra ignored it "look at meee!" the voice's anger roared down the hallway.

Ezra opened his eyes and raised his head slowly, then he saw something standing in the podium looking straight at him. This person was wearing a pope's vestment that was black in color and a mitre that was also black, his face was covered with a dark veil that doesn't reveal anything.

"Forgive my appearance, apparently I'm not supposed to be welcomed in this place so forgive my choice of clothes. But I just had to see you myself" that person said.

"Who are you and what do you want from me?" Ezra asked.

"It's too early for knowing names and as for what I want from you, that my little friend is one piece you'll have to keep trying to find. But be warned the massacre was the beginning, what comes next will be more fun and one of you will be my next pawn on the chess board" that person and he disappeared leaving behind his vestment and mitre and his veil.
