The holy meme Bible created by the Almighty Shrek himself.
Basically, I'm translating the bible to meme language.
Enjoy!

The entire crowd went into a dead silence. 
They didn't see clearly how she broke the plate, nor how the pieces shot into the man's body. 
Shen Ming got a sudden scare. Mu Changfeng's daughter… has she practiced the Five Treasures Bible? 
Villa Head Nie blackened his face and whispered to Shen Ming, "Brother Shen, there's gonna be a problem now." 
"The problem might come later…" Shen Ming also had a bad feeling. 
Ming Shu rested her hands on her crossed legs and maintained a smiling face. "Now, is there anyone who wants to find it?" 
Shen Ming suppressed his inner fidgeting and went up to feel that person's  pulse. They were still alive and bleeding heavily, but they wouldn't die. 
This woman…
Shen Ming ordered people to take the injured for treatment first, then he and Villa Head Nie discussed for a while. 
"Okay, we'll search the villa. But if it's not found, Leader Mu, you will not walk out of Half Moon Villa today." 
Ming Shu smiled and kept silent. 
If she couldn't walk out of the villa, she could always kill herself and get out. 
...
Villa Head Nie scattered the people to search. 
Then he took Shen Ming back to his study. 
"Mu Changfeng's daughter, is she coming back for revenge?" Villa Head Nie walked back and forth in the room anxiously. "I sent the news to you, but why did you bring so many people here? There are so many people now…" 
Shen Ming's face looked unhappy as well. "I didn't send news to them. They arrived at the same time as me, it must be your villa that revealed it." 
"Impossible, I ordered…" But Villa Head Nie suddenly remembered something. "It's them." 
The man who slept with Nie Shuang, he told him to go back and prepare for the marriage, so he was the only one that left the villa recently. 
"As for how the news was spread, we should put it to the side first. Not many people know about that matter so there's no need to worry. What's important now is the Five Treasures Bible. The initial news about it said that it was taken by your daughter. Do you really have the Five Treasures Bible in hand now?" 
Villa Head Nie shook his head. "I have never wanted to see Five Treasures Bible in my whole life. I asked Shuang-er, she said she was framed by Mu Ling. Mu Ling came at Half Moon Villa from the very beginning, perhaps she… has known something." 
"Since you don't have anything in the villa, just let them search," Shen Ming said. "I don't believe that if she really had the Five Treasures Bible, she would hide it in the villa and allow these people to grab it." 
Then, Shen Ming patted Villa Head Nie's shoulder. "Even if she is Mu Changfeng's daughter, she is no more than an ignorant girl." 
Villa Head Nie's eyes darkened and then he nodded slightly. 
The two discussed in the study for a little longer before leaving. 
The corridor outside was in chaos, which made Villa Head Nie very unhappy. But Shen Ming signaled him to hang in there for a while. If he didn't let these people search, there was going to be a real trouble. 
The entire villa was searched through by these people. Servants stood to the side trembling and watched these bandits rummaging through boxes and closets. 
"Brother… what's going on?" Nie Shuang looked at the people in her room and furrowed her brow heavily. 
Nie Bin touched Nie Shuang's head. "Nothing special, it'll be okay in a minute. You people search quickly, my sister is not feeling well." 
The people finished the search very soon but found nothing. They walked out and looked at the front. "Is there a room over there?" 
Nie Bin nodded. "That's my second younger sister's room, she's not been in the villa recently." 
"Go search." 
"Brother, what are they looking for? Did the villa offend anyone?" 
Nie Bin didn't intend to tell Nie Shuang, but Nie Shuang's expecting eyes just made him speak spontaneously. "The leader of Five Treasures Immortal Clan said that the Five Treasures Bible is hidden in our villa, so those clans want to search the place." 
How could the Five Treasures Bible be in the villa? 
Did that woman think that it was on her, so she came to Half Moon Villa? 
Seeing Nie Shuang's face became a little pale, Nie Bin hurriedly asked, "Shuang-er, what's wrong?" 
"Brother…" Nie Shuang grabbed Nie Bin's hand. "It's a good chance, we can take the opportunity to leave here." 
"But, Father…" They were in the midst of such a big matter, how could he leave? 
"Brother, if we miss this opportunity, father will definitely exert greater control over me, until that man comes to marry me. Do you want to stand by and watch me marry another, then never meet each other again?" 
Nie Bin had some inner conflict and then said, "Pack up your stuff and we'll meet at the back door." 
...
Villa Head Nie and Shen Ming came back to the hall. Right now the hall was occupied only by leaders of several clans who were looking at different directions. The atmosphere was a little odd. 
As they came in, a quick shadow darted to Ming Shu's feet and jumped onto Ming Shu's slightly open palm. Then Ming Shu turned over her palm and the shadow tucked itself in her sleeves. 
Little Beastie spotted a comfortable place in the sleeve and lay down, then accurately imitated the conversation it had overheard to Ming Shu. 
Ming Shu looked in the direction of Shen Ming and Villa Head Nie thoughtfully. 
The entire villa was turned upside down and no one had found any trace of the Five Treasures Bible. 
Poop-picker, are you not afraid that they will hide it when they find it? 
"They won't recognize the Five Treasures Bible, how will they hide it?" Ming Shu sneered in the bottom of her heart. "Do you think 'Five Treasures Bible' is printed on its cover?" 
Little Beastie was confused. Is it not? Then what's on the cover? 
"Guess."
I will not guess. 
Little Beastie grunted and complained. I knew the poop-picker wouldn't really be so kind to let these people find it. 
Insidious!
Don't forget my Man-Han full banquet that you promised. 
As expected, those people didn't recognize Five Treasures Bible. They took all the books that they thought were the Five Treasures Bible back and presented them to the clan leaders to look over. 
Soon the hall was piled with many books. 
Ming Shu just sat there calmly and she even asked Villa Head Nie to prepare tea and desserts for her. 
"I've searched all the villa and found nothing." 
"I found nothing…" 
Disciples came back to report constantly, but no one had found the Five Treasures Bible. 
"Devil, what else do you have to say now?" 
Ming Shu finished the last sip of tea and stood up while holding the tea cup, walking to the book pile. "You didn't find it because you're stupid." 
She reached out and picked out a slightly old book from the pile. The other books collapsed immediately. 
Ming Shu raised the book in her hand. "Thank you for your help, everyone." 
Everyone looked at the book in her hand, on which it read—"Cookbook."
Cook! Book!
Two big Chinese characters. 
"Devil, can't you read? Even if you can't read, the Five Treasures Bible is three words, but this is two words, who are you kidding?" 
"Kidding you." 
"You…"
Ming Shu took the book and sat back down. Everyone saw the cover font begin to fade and the two golden words of Five Treasures reappeared on it. 
No "Bible," only "Five Treasures." 
Ming Shu deliberately held the book high for them. "I told you that this thing was definitely hidden here, but you didn't believe me, so I'm not the one who should be blamed."
It was really the Five Treasures Bible. 
Shen Ming looked at Villa Head Nie. 
Villa Head Nie shook his head. He really had no idea that the Five Treasures Bible was in Half Moon Villa. 
Some people became irritated, especially those who found the cookbook and read it. "But you didn't tell us the Five Treasures Bible is a cookbook!!" 
Ming Shu sounded very innocent. "You didn't ask." 
Everyone: "…" Who the hell would have thought that the Five Treasures Bible is a cookbook? No one said this before. 
Even Shen Ming and Villa Head Nie didn't know this. They once saw the book from afar and the eye-catching golden name of Five Treasures was easy to recognize. 
Who'd have thought that it changed… 
"Where was it found?" Someone kept his voice down and asked this. 
"In Second Young Miss Nie's room," the one who found the book answered with a complicated expression. 
"Why was it in Second Young Miss Nie's room?" 
"…"
How would he know? 


Imagine having the opportunity to be able to enter different worlds created by numerous novels and stories. Which kind of role would you like to play? 

Do you want to be the illustrious protagonist, either good or evil; or just be a supporting role standing behind the protagonists? 

Our villain boss Ming Shu would, however, choose none of the above. Claiming missions from the Harmony System, and driven by her endless passion for snacks, the world traveler, Ming Shu, embarks on the path to make the mission target hate her as much as possible by gaining Hatred Points. But it turns out she is not alone on her journey… 
 


Wisteria's POV


All this time, It was in this book?! I spend almost a whole day looking for clues about the Vial of Life and it is just in the book of Liefde voor Bloed.


I continued reading this chapter and the fairy Eclipse said that 'it's not only the strength it gives, it lends life to the person who needs it or it gives the chance to resurrecting a dead person that has only died within in 24 hours' I overjoyed reading this.


Then with the adrenaline rushing to my veins I can't help but read it aloud. "The Vial of Life is never been found or created,.. WHAT?!" I reacted after reading that phrase, I laid my head upside down hanging on the side of the bed with the book in front of me while my feet are leaning against the wall.

"Our village elder only knows where can it be found as the first clues, the vial of life isn't a vial at all. It's a spring water that sprouts in certain areas of the world even on the dangerous parts of the earth including in the peek of an volcano, top of the stormy clouds, trenches of the deep blue oceans and rarely be found in certain safe areas of the world.... That's very weird places to look of a spring water then why it was called spring water if it is on the peek of the volcano?" I commented after reading the explaination of the fairy and Mira suprisingly asked the same thing.

'Ecplise laughed and said, "It can be found on between the mysterious places of the world but the elderly said that the Vial of Life is only one droplet of God's tears that fell from heaven so, it also seemed to be impossible for a God have such emotions but we are created with the top of all the first human, Adam was created by God with his image" Mira seemed to be agreeing on Eclipse's words for the some part of the Bible it did mention that he created Adam that is reflected to God's frame, Mira thought' I read from my mind. 


Is that so... I really didn't read much about Bible but I also read about this.. hmmm... I think it's on chapter two verse twenty third of the Wisdom of Solomon? hmm No! It's only on the first part of the Bible Genesis chapter one verse something something.


I stood up and grabbed the Bible that was lying alone on the higher division of the shelves. I took a seat from my study table and placed the Liefde voor Bloed and The Bible to each others side. I gently opened the bible and turned the page where I can find the part of Genesis. 


I looked up on the whole chapter one of the Genesis until I reached verse twenty seven, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them" I read aloud then shouted to my mind that, I knew it I was right about it is seen on Genesis chapted one. I gently closed the Bible and started reading back into the Liefde voor Bloed. 


' "However, it is also rare to see God cried for he is glorious and powerful. So, It won't easy to see this tears of His and it was also called the Vial because it was contained in a hard stone container for it's powerful aura that attracts any of His creation but it is transparent and revealing the beautiful gift of God." Mira was very confused on every explaination Eclipse giving to her it's getting more and more complicated to understand, First she thought is was really a vial then it turns out it is a spring water that was actually God's tears then back for it is being a vial, Mira sighed at frustration' Somehow I understand how the flow of the novel works also to the vial's information.


Then when I read more there are no more important details to be read, like Eclipse said it can be found anywhere basically it would land anywhere on this page it was told that they have reached the town and immediately approached the elderly elf to asked for the fortune of the Vial of life. I closed the book and left both the bible and the Liefde voor Bloed on the table as I head back to my bed. 


Then problem I have is how can I get to that forest? Earlier in the novel Mira's companion mentioned that as they entered the forest herbs can be seen there but I can't afford that is true for most of this novel are already mixed from her ancestor, Lily's fictionalized mind and reality.


But also on the early chapters of the novel showed the detailed description of the picture of the place where she has been, also among her journey's on the road some of she mentioned roads and places are popular for transportation, sometime even passed by me while traveling but when she reached the forest path is somewhere I never heard of.

Maybe I should head back to the library tomorrow morning,I thought then I took a glance to the clock it's alread 2 am?! 

Suprised and shocked how am I still awake to these hours, I sighed then I reached for the light switch and turn it off after that I laid back to my bed.

I lit on the night lamp beside my bed then stared at the ceiling thinking another problem came into my mind, How am I going to persuade the boys if I manage to learn all about these stuff? should I fake that I still don't know the details?


It's a bad idea for it's lying but at the same time it was great to spill the beans they knew about this things including Riguel and mostly Sylar but then I remembered that I had a conflict with Sylar and I feel a lityle bit of awkward facing him for help after confronting him. 


What a prideful self Wisteria, I complained to myself. I sighed and I begun to fell asleep.



Am I asleep?.... 



I tried to open my eyes and instead of white ceiling I was in the middle of the darkness again.  



"So you manage to get hold the information without calling for my help. You're a one smart girl" I heard a familiar voice echoed throughout in this dark dimension.


I also tried to move buy I'm frozon in place and paralyzed then from a bluish cloud appeared on front of me started to mold a shape but a faded silhouette shaped her body and only her face manage to make a complete appearance. 


Her cloud silhouette body formed a crossing arms in front of me with a mischievous smile on her face while I can't make a single movement nor I can't feel of my own heartbeat and breathing. 


"Oh! It's fine little human you are in my world of void only me really can make a movement but I can read through your mind just don't hesitate to talk and I'll hear it" 


"WHY YOU DIDN'T HELP ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" I shouted at her in my mind, I even didn't hesitate about screaming at her then I saw her smile twitched for a second and she looked at me with unhappy smile.


"That's what you get for giving me orders without clues oh! and yes you can't kill me right?" I asked her conversing inside my mind then I saw her suprised face but in a second it turned into a displeased face. 


"Why would I not try to kill a worthless human like you?" She said looking away from me.



"You should've already killed me before if it's killing me the answer for your release.." I confronted her and she flinched.



I realized this when I was reading the part where Mira and her companion in trouble. It was a weird time to realize but it just popped up on my head magically. 


Carenina looked back at me with a suprised and agaped mouth. 

"I was right then why did you try to hurt me if I was your only way out" I glared at her while she's glaring me back. 

She sighed frustratedly and said "I want to gain dominance on top of you so you would do exactly what I say" 

"Yet the only thing you did is almost killed me while you made me find something I don't have a clue what it is or where it can be found?" I asked almost sounding bold despite the fact she could kill me any second but I have a theory about her being.


She looked angry, annoyed and upset with the fact I know. I smirked.


"If you can not help me and will only bother me by hurting me don't even try to appear again" I said to her which is true it will only an obstacle blocking if someone brutally forcing me with our common will.



"Hmph.." Carenina uttered out.

Reaching for each others hand but they're kept being pulled away for one another

Three Weeks Later – Arwana's Perspective
Humming to herself Arwana worked away at grading school work. Ruefully she had to smile and shake her head at some of the answers she found along with the doodles hugging the edges of the pages. 
Her students weren't going to be world-class scholars as they had no desire to be that, but what they were was good kids. She loved them and teaching them, although not without challenges had become the most rewarding thing she'd ever worked at as a job. 
It was getting cold outside, but between laughing at what one pupil in particular would do or say next and going home to the warmth of the love of a man utterly passionate about her she had it completely made. A dream come true in a way. 
That said something was missing. She felt a void within herself and it was hard to explain. It was something spiritual that she was sure of, because she had everything one could ask for in the physical. 
Dutifully, as Cliff's wife she'd gone to church with him the past three Sundays. It hadn't been easy. Especially the more and more she discovered that all churches and pastors for that matter weren't the same. Each time she went it was as if the pastor had prepared his sermon for her, as if he knew intimate details of her past and one by one misconceptions she'd had were crossed off the list until she was left with the uneasy acknowledgment that God was much different in His thoughts and ways than she and others had labeled Him to be. 
He in a way was becoming more approachable and far more personable seeming. 
Arwana let the math test slide down to the table as she thought about things. There was so much to be thankful for at the moment that it seemed wrong not to be giving credit to the One pulling the strings. It was kind of like she was starring in a film all by herself acting like she was the producer, when the show already had one. 
It certainly hadn't been her speaking in the dark of the kitchen in the early hours of the morning. In reality all she needed to know that God existed was Cliff. He believed in Him. 
There was no doubt in that man's heart as to everything in the Bible, that he daily read, as being straight from the lips of God. One could say he was misguided or impressionable or maybe even naïve, but none of those explanations made up the reality of why Cliff was the man that he was. 
No, he had faith. God was real. His son Jesus Christ was real. The Holy Spirit was real. 
She knew it. Why then was it so difficult to get going on this path of faith? 
Arwana got up from the desk, angry with herself. The answer was before her and like an idiot she kept denying herself from it. 
She kept wanting to hold on to the image of God as being someone vengeful and without pity as to allow her father to die like He had. There had to be a different answer to what she had come up with before though. 
How else could you explain away the difference in Cliff or the pastor and his wife or indeed half the other devout people in this town? 
Coming to a stop at a shelf, she pulled the big black book off of it. As a child she'd known the usual Bible stories, but when it came to the book, as a whole, she was a complete blank. 
On a daily basis Cliff would reference something out of the Bible and always she felt like the third wheel for not having a clue about what he was talking about. Maybe if she read the Bible she would begin to be more like Cliff or at least know what he was talking about sometimes. 
Intrinsically she knew it would please him if she read the Bible and that alone was enough to get her to open the book. Staring at it though she said, "Where on earth do I even begin to start?" 
The building settled loudly and the floor gave a stress crack as a heavy wind blew firmly outside. Arwana had been startled by the sound of it and had jumped. 
Realizing the cause of the sound she looked back down and was stunned with amazement to find that the Bible had sprung open in her arms. The only explanation was that it had happened when she jumped. 
Reading the top of the page it read Psalm 18. Glancing down, she read the 18th chapter. 
Overcome, she read another one and another one. Chapter after chapter went by until face awash with tears Arwana sank down to the floor. 
She wasn't the only one who had ever felt abandoned! Crying, she held the Bible to herself and sobbed out, "I'm sorry God! I thought you were somebody else!" 
She cried a while longer and then as if in peace with almost everything she got up and put the Bible on the shelf. She would've taken it home with her, but there was no need, because Cliff had Bibles laying all over the house at home. 
Daily from now on she was going to read from the Word and discover just what she had been missing out on or worse yet lied to about.
*********
Reaching the front door Arwana unlocked it and went inside. Cliff wasn't home yet. 
Stopping she picked up one of his shirts and smelled it. A smile came to her lips as if his scent was a happiness serum. 
Truly, it was. Not only happiness, but desire as well. 
She put the shirt down and then picked it back up. Going into the kitchen, she sighed at the sight of dirty dishes. 
What she wouldn't give for a dishwasher! She shook her head to clear it and then took off her blouse. 
Taking his shirt she put it on and rolled up the sleeves. At least now she didn't feel alone in doing the task at hand. 
Tonight was left overnight so she didn't have to worry about cooking dinner at least. Cliff in general was so easy going that he really didn't seem to care that she wasn't that good of a housekeeper or a cook, but he always complimented her on what she did manage to accomplish as if she was a work in progress worth cutting some slack for. Truly, she hated the thought of feeding him leftovers and she was about to switch tasks when she heard his truck pull up outside. 
The truck had an identifying rattle to it that was almost like a DNA tracker. Smiling, she kept to washing dishes. 
Maybe they'd go out and visit Warbly's sole and only diner. Oh, what would she get this time out of the grand list of eight or so items that the diner offered? 
A pair of large hands slipped warmly onto her hips before sliding up under the over shirt she wore to graze her sides only to fill themselves with the lace covered masses of her breasts. With an aching groan of delight for this man's touch, she rose up on tiptoe as his lips kissed down along the side of her neck. If she could have done so she would have purred.
*********
Laughing I left off kissing her and nuzzled my face into her hair as my thumbs soothed over my wife's quickly hardening nipples. 
She purred out, "You are home early. I don't have anything made for dinner." 
I turned her away from the sink and said, "That's all right, I'll eat you instead." 
I kissed her then and her arms hugged me to her as she kissed me back with passion. I broke the kiss off and set her up on the counter off to the side of the sink. 
"And how was your day?" I asked. 
"Good, but it would be better if you were still kissing me." She teased. 
Dragging a finger across her lips I said, "I will be kissing you... just not here." 
"What... oh!" She exclaimed, as I slid her down abruptly, so her back was on the countertop even as I smoothly brought both her thighs up, when I did that her dress fell down around her waist revealing her lace panties. 
Grasping a hold of the fragile things I whisked them up and off her legs. Then, stroking my hands up the back of her thighs to her knees, I held her legs back as I proceeded to do just what I had said I would do. 
Gasping, she'd jolted in my grasp even as one hand came to ruffle in my hair as my tongue stroked through the folds of her labia. Groaning, she said, "You're going to be the death of me you know." 
She gasped sharply and then said on a pant, "A person can only take so much pleasure! Oh, Cliff! Oh!!! I.... ohhhh!" 
Within a minute I had her cumming and within a couple more minutes I had made her cum again. After that orgasm was complete though she fought against me to get off the counter. 
Laughing I let her go. Her hands ripped at my pants and I could tell that she thought she was going for the desert in comparison to my meal of her. 
It wasn't going to be that way though. As soon as my pants were off I caught her hands and forced them behind her and brought her tightly up against me. 
"I want you!" She urged desperately. 
"How?" I teased. 
"In my mouth, in my body, however you want me, but right now!!!" 
"Your wish is my command baby." 
I swiveled her around and had her folded over the kitchen table within the next moment. Truly, this was my favorite position to both see her and feel myself within her and the best thing of both worlds I acknowledged, as with a little careful alignment, I drove my aching shaft to the hilt in her tight sheath was that it was her favorite way to be taken too. 
She groaned and instinctively stood up on tiptoe as she pushed up against my invading shaft. I'd been thinking about her all day and it wasn't very long before I was spewing the evidence of my pent up orgasm deeply within her. 
She hadn't cum and I felt a little guilty about that, but then that was why I had started with her pleasure first. I had known well and truly how short my fuse was going to be. 
Stepping back slightly I pulled my dripping cock out of her and shaking my head, as she still stood poised before me, I said, "Your ass is absolutely perfect!" 
Laughing, she straightened up and turned around to look at me as she leaned the topic of conversation back against the table. 
"What is it about the female ass that you like so much?" She asked with decided interest. 
"I couldn't say... I've always been like that... it's just the way it looks... and yours is just absolutely awesome!" 
Her face blushed a little as she took in my frank praise of her posterior and then she said, "Well I'm glad you like it. Now what can I get for you to eat other than me?" 
"Leftovers are fine." I said. 
"Leftovers it is buddy." 
She turned to go to the fridge and I brought myself up to do something I'd never done to a woman before or really ever imagined myself doing. Taking my hand, I smacked one cheek of her plushly rounded rear hard. 
The smack resounded throughout the kitchen as if a small cannon had gone off. At the contact of my hand, she had jumped and gasped and far from being amused, I winced and quickly said, "That was way too hard, I'm sorry!" 
Slowly she turned and looked at me and amazingly she didn't look mad. I would've been mad. 
Instead, she came closer and reaching out she took my hand. Glancing up at me then she said, "The other one is jealous." 
She winked at me and then half turning bent over slightly. 
Shaking my head, I mumbled, "You can't be real." 
"Oh, indeed I am. Now are you going to leave a girl hanging or what?" 
I did it. I smacked the other side as hard as I had the previous side. 
She straightened up and glancing at me she said while opening the refrigerator door, "Any time you want to darling." 
I shook my head and quite honestly asked, "Is there anything you wouldn't deny me?" 
Glancing my way she said, "No, not a thing." 
Feeling in need to share I said, "I want to tell you something. I…. I've never had so much fun before in my life. You are like holding pure joy. You make life fun and something exciting each day." 
She set the tray of leftovers down and coming over to me she took my hands and looking into my eyes, she softly said, "Funny, I could say the same thing about you my love." 
I leaned down as she arched up and together our lips met in a shared ever evolving love for each other.

Cliff Haines is not going anywhere or doing anything all that exciting. For the most part he is content to live set apart from the rest of society in the lonely frontier logging town of Warbly located in the wilds of British Columbia. That all changes one day when trouble crashes into town in the form of something simply irresistible and impossible not to be desired. Join Cliff and see the world from his perspective as his life suddenly becomes turned upside down by a girl who has nothing better to do than to hunt him down.

- Man on Fire is the story of a righteous man suddenly put in a predicament of wanting something he knows is not good for him. Arwana Collins is beautiful, wild, and worst of all confident. When she looks at him he knows exactly what she's thinking. Life for her has been a series of lovers one after the next and he's her target of the moment. The problem for her is he isn't a man who wants to be used. He wants her, but he wants her to be his, forever. It's a commitment she's never made to a man, but then he's like no other man she's ever met. He's a complete stud, but the outward side of him is no match for who he is inside. Unlike most he's not ruled by what's in his pants. He resists her where none have before and it leads her to see that maybe just something is wrong with her. How could it not be, when the heaven of his arms beckons like a promise of untold passion. He wants her body, but he cares for her soul. What kind of man was like that anymore?

 Jean McClain followed the Star Traveler crew into her brother's office building. A lab technician met them at the reception area and led them to the elevator that took them ten stories up the side of the building. As the elevator opened, Laurie found herself staring at a blank wall, as though the elevator was trying to let them out between floors. The lab technician placed his hand on the wall, which slid up and out of sight, revealing a large room.
Laurie, followed by the rest of the crew, stepped into the room. The suite reminded her of the control room of the new Star Traveler. Her eyes passed from one glowing viewscreen to the next. Each screen showed a different still image. Wires and devices were strewn all over the place. The room looked like a high-tech game-room with every known gadget and a few she had never seen.
"I see you like my Tech room," Peter McClain replied as he strode into the room from a door in the rear. He was flanked by a handful of white-jacketed scientists.
"What is this room for?" Laurie asked.
"Jean!" Peter exclaimed as he realized his sister was with them.
He hastened to give her a short hug.
"I thought you were still on your research mission?" Peter asked.
"My mission got diverted--by a bunch of aliens no less! They seemed to be trying to keep the crew of the Star Traveler from finding something called an Intergalactic Bible?" Jean sputtered, showing her irritation.
"Ah, yes the object we are all here to discuss. Follow me." Peter led the group around the room.
"This room, Laurie— to answer your question, is where we test different software programs until they meet with our approval. There is one item, though, that we just can't seem to crack," Peter replied, pointing to a small, green, cylindrical object under a clear glass bell jar sitting on a short table, apart from the other lab tables.
"The only thing I can get it to do is play some sort of introductory program. The program plays itself over and over again, although it varies a little each time," Peter replied, frustrated.
"What does it play?" Dr. Smith asked.
"It plays a virtual reality scenario where people disappear right before your eyes, and yet some are left behind. It is freaky each and every time," Peter replied, looking at the floor, and appearing a bit disturbed.
"The End Times scenario," Laurie whispered.
She stepped forward, kneeling to get a closer look at the alien inscriptions on the cylinder.
"Our technicians have already decoded the message around the cylinder," Peter replied as he handed a piece of paper to Captain Mitchell.
Captain Mitchell showed it to the rest of the crew and then passed it down to Laurie.
"That's not all that it says," Laurie replied, only glancing at the paper momentarily. "It also has directions for opening it."
"We didn't see that. If it was some sort of bible, then wouldn't it be easy to read, instead of having to go through all this decoding nonsense?" one scientist spoke up.
"Well, if you think about it--first, let's assume that there are many different species of aliens--in that case, what do you need?" Laurie asked.
The Star Traveler crew waited for her to finish and the others standing in the room shrugged in reply.
"You would need a book that could be read in many different languages, and if that weren't enough, let's just assume that the new species of readers have never met aliens before. Well, then you have another problem—An Intergalactic Bible would probably talk about many different species of aliens, and here your audience is, not even aware that there are other species in the universe! Of course they would be disinclined to believe the book‒wouldn't you?" Laurie rambled.
"So if you find the first cylinder, it tells you in your own language how to find the bible. It then gives you a map to other planets that will inevitably show you that other species of God's creation do in fact exist. If the last cylinder is the bible itself, and the entire purpose of this hunt is to pave the way for you to believe in God's word, and consequently in God- it only makes sense for the first two cylinders to be the key to decode the last cylinder. Otherwise you would open the bible too early, before believing that there are other species out there in the universe. Such a thing could undermine your belief in the authority of God's word," Laurie explained all in one breath.
"How did you figure all that out?" Peter asked.
"Laurie has been captivated by these cylinders ever since we first found them. She's been studying them ever since," Eli replied.
"That, and since I became an ECOP, it has become second nature for me to try to think how others might," Laurie stated, more to her parents than to Peter.
"So how do we get past the introduction?" Peter asked.
"With the information from the first cylinder," Captain Mitchell replied as he lifted the glass bell jar and placed his MTD on top of the cylinder.
A holograph projected from his MTD to display a large screen, showing the words "The Intergalactic Bible", along with the same introductory statement inscribed around the cylinder. However, the words on the screen were all in English. A menu showed up next, asking whether the reader wanted to view the text or participate in a virtual rendition of the events. Silently the Star Traveler crew, along with the scientists, all listened to the Intergalactic Bible for more than an hour. As the first of the many programs came to an end, Peter stood slowly and reluctantly shut it off.
"This is amazing," Peter McClain said breathless, "we must work on a way to get everyone to read this. Not everyone has a computer like your MTD."
"Couldn't you just download the program into a DataTech WORD Reader?" Jean asked.
"We've tried that," Peter replied. "The readers can't handle the introductory program. Yes, we will have to work on a more advanced reader so it is available to everyone. Meanwhile, I am going to find you all a place to stay for the night. We can talk about how we are going to share this information tomorrow."
With a few short commands, McClain arranged for the crew to be led across the street to a hotel suite that was arranged just for their use. After Captain Mitchell sent a message to EASA, the exhausted crew left to find their individual rooms for the night.
Laurie could not sleep. She lay in bed wondering over the new problem that Peter had just brought to light.
'How can we make it so everyone who wants to will be able to read the contents of this cylinder?'
Suddenly, having an idea, she got up and left her room. She tiptoed into the living room of the suite and looked around until she found one of the WORD Readers.
Laurie ran her fingers over the smooth design of the object. It was about the size of an old-fashioned paperback book and weighed about the same. However, the Word Reader was made out of an industrial strength plastic. When she opened the reader, she found two screens which displayed the text of the book that was currently programmed into the reader.
Laurie's first impression was to simply download the Intergalactic Bible into the reader and delete the story already there, like Jean had suggested. However she soon realized that the reader was not equipped to handle that much information or programming. Seeing why Peter had been right, she decided to make a few modifications to the reader.
Laurie pulled apart the WORD Reader and proceeded to reassemble the chips and circuits inside. Still needing a few things, she moved her project into her room where she had set the case she brought with her on the shelf. She never went far without her repair kit. In it she kept spare parts and tools for working on circuit boards.
I'll have to build an entirely new piece of equipment. She mused, carefully considering the parts she had available to her.
Laurie worked through much of the night, falling asleep hunched over her creation.
The next morning, Laurie and the Star Traveler crew walked across the street and back to Peter McClain's WORD Corporation building. Peter met them looking slightly disheveled.
"I haven't been able to stop thinking about the problem," he replied wearily. "I've checked all of our databases, and talked with multiple manufacturers, we don't currently have a device with the proper amount of memory and capability that would be needed to house the Intergalactic Bible's programming. If we did, we could easily make it available to the masses."
"I came up with a way to solve our problem last night," Laurie replied as she handed a small box to Peter.
"What's this?" Peter asked her, opening the box to find a Word Reader lying in the padded interior.
"Open the reader," Laurie instructed.
As he did, Peter was surprised to find the Galaxy Bible's programming starting automatically.
"I redesigned the hardware in the shell of the Word Reader, and it now conforms to the requirements of the Bible program," Laurie replied. I even integrated some of the MTD's capabilities so the virtual reality program can also be accessed with the device."
Peter looked at Laurie, openly stunned.
"How! Can you show my technicians how to replicate this?"
"I would be happy to," Laurie replied with a smile, walking off with Peter's Technicians to show them how to mimic what she had created.
"We must contact the planet's news programs and spread the story of our discovery!" Peter exclaimed ecstatically.

For millenia, humans thought they were the only life in the galaxy--
until the day an alien species claiming to have humanity's best interests in mind forces its way onto an unsuspecting exploration craft.

In another part of space, the Star Traveler's crew sets out on a camping trip to the surface of the moon. There, they stumble upon an object covered in alien writing revealing the first piece of a galactic map that will lead them into an intergalactic controversy--all while the Platonian race strives to sabotage their every move.

"Well my friends. This is the part where I should give a speech talking about how brave we need to be and that nothing can stand in our way but that's not the truth at all. We all know that speeches were more of Hoppers thing and although we could criticize him as much as we wanted; he was always the bravest of us all."

"Here! Here!"

"I mean, who here wakes up everyday and says, 'the church isn't doing what it is supposed to be doing so I am going to change that?' I know I certainly don't but to have the audacity and boldness to not only say but do that even though the whole town and I included rejected you for it. If it aint broke don't fix it. We see all the good churches do for others but Hopper was able to see past all of our good and not only see into the root of our problems but know how to fix them. He was able to see what others could not.

If it wasn't for Hopper we'd still be stuck scratching our heads trying to decipher the clues for the first piece of the map. And not for him I'm sure we would've walked through all these challenges not even seeing the armor of God pieces staring back at us in the face. He led us on many great adventures and has made us change the way we think and act on a lot of different occasions. Even now he was the first of us all to bold the darkness and dive in. Sad that it had to take him dying by the sword for us to realize how much we really missed him. 

Now I know none of us are as fast as Hopper or are the best at picking out meanings behind texts but if we put our heads together and work as one then we can get through these trials. Might take us a hell lot longer but we leave no men on this battlefield. Who's with me!!"

"Ohh that Hopper! He can be annoying at times with his truths he throws at us but the reason I let him get so annoying is because his truths were in reality….truthful. And his letters he gave to people were great. Now they weren't all the time what the person wanted to hear but it always was what they needed to hear. I'd kill to have him back. Just even for a second."

"Then raise your swords as one and stand..by..me! Team one; find something to support Hopper on. Team two; find a way out of here. Take these cheetos with you as markers to sprinkle them down to make the trail. Team three; you stick with me and we'll find this sword of the Spirit. Rally back here in four. Ohh and remember. Anything you see; don't look it directly in the eyes. Split."

"So how do we find this sword you keep speaking of?"

"First. 'Light of Night.' Now that the other teams are gone and we can see; walk and talk with me. Should be dark enough now to find the next clue. Lookie there. It's a list of the six pieces that make up the armor of God. Next to each lies a corresponding verse. We found the first so we can cross that one off easy. What's the next verse?"

"I want to read it."

"Kid, give that back. You don't know what you're wielding. We need to get out of here as fast we can before the valley wakes up. Just hand the Bible to me and we can talk about this later."

"Don't remember me do you? You who have eyes to see but still dimwitted. The Bible has been in your hands this whole time and you were too blind to realize. You had the special Bible all along but never used it. I can see your mind racing now trying to figure out how you could've missed it. Aaron is good but he's not that good. It was easy; go in, grab the Bible and get out. Instead, the plan went all haywire and you ended up in a run down chapel. You said there was going to be minimal guards that night. I wonder who tipped the guards off so more could be stationed?!!

"Swift, your dad murmured.

"I heard it. Say it!"

"Swift!"

"Louder."

"SWIFT!! But why? How? You're supposed to be dead. I watched you die that night when the cop shot you."

"Haa. Haa. Haaa. Did I really die that night? Was that an actual cop? These questions who knows the answers too. Yes, I tipped the cops off but like everyone else; they thought you were after the money while I had a plan of my own. Only us two knew the truth of why we were targeting that specific bank. See, while all the guards were occupied with the rest of you I snuck out back, grabbed the Bible and was home free. That's what I thought anyways. When I regrouped with all of you and we were running from the cops it wasn't just them we were running from.

As more and more of our group was picked off by the cops it was soon just you and me left. We rounded an alley and it was you a few clicks in front of me and a cop hot on my heels. I tripped and that's when you looked back to see the cop shoot me in the heart. The last thing I remember was looking up and seeing his face. Aaron shot me, smiled, then walked away."

"LIAR!! Aaron would never do such a thing. That's not in his nature."

"Then you don't know your brother all that well. The reason he was there wasn't for your sake but his. He didn't want anybod to get their hands on a Bible because of the power it wielded. He wanted the power all to himself and didn't even know about the second Bible until he got a wift of your plans to rob the bank."

"Why didn't Aaron kill everbody at the bank then? Why just you?"

"Croak little buddy. He had no reason to hurt them. No one knew the Bible lay in their Banks walls. Before the bank there was a huge church that spanned from the bank to the warehouse where you were hiding. Here is where one of these Bibles resided and was kept locked up in a safe. When the church burned down mysteriously in the night they carved a hidden square in the wall and put the Bible and safe inside; sealed it back up then left. A few weeks later a construction team built the bank around those sacred walls but did not even know of the treasures that lay buried within the walls.

I woke up a few hours later and the Bible was gone. My hands felt the place where Aaron shot me and it was my shirt pocket. There was something in it that cold. Pulling it out I couldn't believe it. Aarons shot didn't pierce my heart like he wanted but instead put a bullet through the eyes of the knight in that coin you are now holding as a staff. Hopper may have talked about corrections the church needed but with this book we can give the true corrections the church not only needs but the corrections to help it grow. What do you say?"

"Darkness has blind you brother."

"I thought you might have said that. Guess I have no choice now. Wait, why are you backing up? You know there is nowhere you can run where I can't find you."       

"You were once good, brother. You and I went on adventures together, fought together, got in trouble together and we even said we would die together. Now you die alone."

The picture of the dragons eye on the wall behind Swift blinked once...twice….then moved. Swift may have been called fast but he wasn't fast enough. The dragon swallowed him and the Bible in one bite then looked at us.

"RUNNNNN!!!!"

We took off like a stampede; with the dragon hot on our tails.

keep coming on an adventure with me as Hopper continues to retell stories about his father. Who is this mysterious Aaron and what does the armor pieces of God mean. Will there be a fight with them. I don't know and neither do they.

The night was silent, Tenraku was sitting at the desk in his room writing something.

Tenraku rubbed his forehead in thought from time to time, then continued.

"Master Tenraku."

Yubelluna appeared beside Tenraku in silk pajamas.

She seemed to be curious about what Tenraku was doing so late and asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Yubelluna, are you not tired yet?"

Tenraku laughed as he pulled Yubelluna and let her sit on his lap.

Yubelluna couldn't help but feel embarrassed and she blushed, she then looked at the two girls, Tosca and Raynare, who were exhausted and sleeping not far away.

She is indeed a little tired...

"Master Tenraku, what is this?"

Converging her mind, Yubelluna curiously looked at the thick book that Tenraku was writing on.

"This is [Gods and Demons Scripture]. You can understand it as the same thing as the [Holy Bible] in the Church."

Tenraku replied as the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Gods and Demons Scripture...Holy Bible..."

There was a wave of turbulence in her heart and Yubelluna couldn't help but turn over a few pages in the book and read them. At first, she could barely maintain her composure, but the more she looked at it, the more shocked she became, and her whole body stilled!

"God, Tenraku-sama, do you want to become a God?"

Raising her head, Yubelluna opened her purple lips as she looked at Tenraku in disbelief.

Although she has only browsed a few pages, Yubelluna already knows what it is, because as Tenraku said, this is just like a [Holy Bible]!

It is the brand new Holy Scripture, a brand new doctrine, and what is written in it is not about the god of the Holy Bible, but her master Kamiya Tenraku!!!

"Is there anything wrong with it, my Queen?"

Tenraku smiled playfully while holding Yubelluna's chin.

The fierce waves had already been stirred up in her heart, and Yubelluna was completely speechless.

A hybrid between a Devil and a Human wants to become the one true God?

If this was anyone else, then Yubelluna would have thought of that as a big joke!

However, the current Yubelluna can't laugh at all, because the person who is trying to become a God is not someone else, but her Master, her King!

Yubelluna knows exactly how crazy this is. Once this [Gods and Demons Scripture] is released into the world, Tenraku will immediately become Church's mortal enemy, and even all other Gods in the world will stand against him.

Although Tenraku had a bad relationship with the Church, it is only because he stole their Sacred Gears. Even if they hated Tenraku, they didn't dare to touch him due to his identity and background. But it would be a completely different matter. Once this doctrine is involved. The Belief dispute between the two parties——

Those guys are absolutely crazy!

The reason why Gods are Gods is that someone believes in them. The appearance of each God requires a countless accumulation of time and even affects the entire human history and cultural process.

The most important thing for Gods is the human Belief in their existence. The more humans believe in their existence, the stronger their power and the Gods who lose Belief will fall or just fade away.

There are many Gods in this world, but there are only so many humans who would believe in them, and they have already been divided up by the existing Gods. So they would be very happy to see the fall of other Gods, but they would never want to see a new God being born!

Thinking of Tenraku's plans and the enemies they might face in the future, even Yubelluna, who had always been calm, felt chilly.

"Yubelluna, are you shocked? Maybe you think I'm getting ahead of myself, maybe you think I'm whimsical, but—"

"This is me!"

"I am unwilling to be a mere mortal, I am unwilling to be trampled under someone's foot, I am unwilling to be complacent because of a little achievement."

"What about Great Satans? What about Gods? I want to stand at the top of this world, above them all, and I want them all to worship me!"

Tenraku's voice seemed to reverberate continuously in the room, and it would have shocked anyone in the world if they heard it and this was also the first time that Tenraku showed his arrogant ambition in front of others.

Yubelluna's purple lips are wide open, she looks like a person in a small boat in front of a huge wave, her mind is already messy and the feeling of shock has intensified!

However, looking at Tenraku's arrogant and confident look, Yubelluna couldn't help but think of something——

Maybe he can really do it!

"Now, Yubelluna, you will help me, right?"

Suddenly leaning down again, Tenraku whispered in Yubelluna's ear.

After recovering, Yubelluna's eyes burst into an astonishing splendor, and she looked at Tenraku.

If Tenraku can really do it then she will become the Queen of the Peerage of God. What a noble and honorable thing that would be!

And even if it fails, the worst that would happen would be their death. Anyway, from the moment the contract is concluded, everything about her being is inseparable from the man in front of her.

"Tenraku-sama, Yubelluna will follow you to the death!"

A Great ambition broke out in her heart and Yubelluna replied firmly.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and without speaking any nonsense, Tenraku directly kissed the depressing purple lips.

The two kissed each other greedily, and they didn't separate until they were satisfied.

"Master Tenraku, what are we going to do?"

Infatuated in Tenraku's arms, Yubelluna asked.

It is not easy to become a God, especially for Tenraku who also wants to become the kind of supreme god standing at the top. There are too many things to consider and even the excellent and capable Yubelluna has no clue as to what they should do.

"There is no hurry, I still need to modify [Gods and Demons Scripture] again, we can wait for a while."

Tenraku replied while stroking Yubelluna's purple hair.

Wanting to become a God and building a  Belief System for himself is not a whim, but a plan that came to Tenraku's mind a long time ago. During these years of external experience, Tenraku has learned about the various mythological systems in detail, and he finally chose the God to which the Church belongs as a reference.

In Tenraku's view, the God of the Holy Bible is undoubtedly one of the most successful Gods, even if he has died, but as long as his Holy Bible is still there, his Belief will not be broken!
In order to write his own Holy Bible, Tenraku has studied the entire Holy Bible countless times. He has fallen into a confused and doubtful state several times, and he almost became the Devotee of the God of the Holy Bible and the believer of the Church.

However, Tenraku persisted in the end and he put aside the confusion and saw the truth of everything.

It is ironic to say that after throwing away the glorious appearance of justice and greatness that the Holy Bible preached, its essence is thorough brainwashing!

The God let people believe him, obey him, but also let those people feel the supreme glory of himself!

Tenraku did not demean the God of the Holy Bible, nor did he mean to mock him, but rather, he admired him very much—

This is the real smart person!

With reference to the content of the [Holy Bible], Tenraku also wrote his own [Gods and Demons Scripture], the Supreme Being in it is naturally himself, and the things he had written are crazier, more thorough, and more hypocritical than anything written before. 

The doctrine is so glamorous and glorious, but its essence is to make the people Believe in himself and have them surrender to him!

And unlike the [Holy Bible] which only has one mainstream doctrine, Tenraku's [Gods and Demons Scripture] can be specifically divided into [Holy Scripture] and [Demon Scripture], [Holy Scripture] teaches good people to be better, and [Demon Scripture] teaches evil people to get worse!

Tenraku doesn't care whether the people who believe himself are good or evil, it is just like he who loves the kindness of Akeno and other women, but he also accepts the evilness of Raynare. The only thing he cares about is to let those people Beliefs to be surrendered to him, they would do everything for him!

It can be said that [Gods and Demons Scripture] is the craziest and extreme doctrinal classic ever!

As a human and devil hybrid as well as the fourth son of House of Phenex, Tenraku faced pressure as great as a mountain.

He couldn't study magic, nor could he awaken the bloodline of the phoenix. As such he became the Underworld's famous waste.

But none of this mattered. He had his 【Sacred Gear Plunder】!

【Gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor - Boosted Gear】, 【Light Wings of the White Dragon Sovereign - Divine Dividing】, 【Holy Grail of the Secluded World - Sephiroth Graal】

So what if you're an angel? So what if you're a devil! Even if you're a dragon god, so what!? Anything I want, I plunder! Plunder! Plunder!



I folded the paper and looked outside at the rising moon, then I stood up and walked out of my room and down the hall, then I stopped in front of Shola's apartment and knocked twice... I've made up my mind…I will not…the door opened and Shola appeared, and he was really shocked to see me. Then he stepped aside, letting me into his apartment. 

I took in sky-blue wall painting and white ceiling tiles and he offered me a seat but I declined. I turned to him and took in a deep breath and asked. 

"How do I accept Jesus?" 

 The shock on his face was evident as his face broke into a smile, then he covered his face and muttered inaudible words, prayers, I guess? 

"Fiyin, it's so easy, you only have to say a prayer." 

"What prayer?" 

"A prayer of salvation." 

"Oh." 

 Don't blame me, it's been 12 years since I last went to church, and that's a very long time. 

"Are you ready?" He asked. 

"Yes" 

"Okay, repeat after me." I nodded and he held my hands in his and continued. 

"Lord Jesus, I come to you today! I'm a sinner, I cannot help myself. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan, to serve the living God. Today, Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and my savior. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me! Now I know, I am born again." 

I don't know what happened but I felt a certain calm wash over me and I had to look around to see if a veil actually left me, but I saw nothing. 

"You feel calm right?" He asked. 

"Yes." I answered. 

"It's called salvation, you've been liberated from the devil...you're now saved." 

"Wow...so is it true a party will be thrown for me?" 

"Yes...the Bible says heaven rejoices over every saved soul. And you're a saved soul, so they're celebrating." 

"Cool...so what do I do now?" 

"Walk in righteousness and study your Bible." 

"I don't even have a Bible, but I can download one, right?" 

"Yes...I'm so happy you're converted." 

"Me too?" 

We laughed and I left his room with a bounce in my step...the joy of new birth. 

But how do I pray? 

I got into my room and texted Bryant. 

"I've been converted, how do I pray?" 

I waited for his reply for such a long time but it never came, and that got me thinking. Then I heard sharp rude knocks on my door and I went to check who was there and I saw Bryant, my stomach did a leap at the sight of him, why do I feel like there's sunshine all around me when he's here? Why do I feel like getting lost in his eyes anytime I see him? Why do I always want him to be around and never want him to leave my presence? Why do I feel this way anytime he comes around...like there's an electricity jolt in my heart each time I'm around him...what is happening to me, despite the anger I feel towards his attitude I always don't want to let him go...what's wrong with me? Am I falling for him? 

He looked at me and I didn't know what I saw in his eyes but I love the way it sparkled when he looked up, igniting a fire in me. 

"Are you serious about what you said bat eyes?" He asked bringing me down to earth, and I replied. 

"Yes...how do I pray?" 

"You sound like Jesus' disciples." 

"Really?" 

"Yeah, they also asked Jesus this same question." 

"So, what did Jesus tell them?" 

"The Lord's prayer." 

"I don't think I can remember that?" 

" It's in the Bible baty, Matthew 6:9" 

"Oh...thanks." 

"I'm so happy you're back into the faith," 

I laughed and looked outside then at the clock, and I yelled. 

"Bryant! Why are you here so late?" 

"When I received the text, I had to run here to confirm for myself, and it's true." 

"Oh...wow" 

"Who convinced you?" 

"Shola, he gave me a letter months ago...so when I had an asthma attack and was searching for my inhaler, I stumbled upon it. I read it and it changed me...besides...mom would have wanted this." 

He smiled and walked into the room, he was so close to me, then he held my hand and looked away for a while before looking at me and saying: 

"I'm happy you're a Christian." 

"Me too." 

 He flashed me a smile and my heart did a leap...his smile is just…breathtaking? Pearly white set of teeth...gosh, he's hot cake. He left my apartment moments later and I felt like I should tie him down for him to stay the night with me...but that would be crazy. I later downloaded the Holy Bible application, he recommended King James Version. The steps were well explained and I was able to navigate it easily so I found my way to the book of Matthew 6:9...and I read it till I got to it. 

 "The Lord's prayer" 

"Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. 

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in Earth, as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day our daily bread. 

And forgive is our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. 

Amen."

What you see is not always what is the truth, this is the case in the life of Fiyinfoluwa, who strives to find joy and love after an incident in the past that sucked out the joy of her life and left her traumatized. But this particular year will be different for her, the question is, who will fill that void in her life? 
In her gradual walk when she meets people and tries to open up, will she end up getting hurt again or will she finally find peace when she develops feelings for the first time in her life and for the first time in a long time? Will she give love a chance or just keep living emotionless?
A tale of two lost souls merged into one, creating an epic balance of similarity and pain.  
Loosing something valuable can be hard to get over, but Fiyinfoluwa wants to get over it, and she can't do it alone, she'll need help, but she's scared to call out for help for fear of being broken again and left alone, she's scared to get attached to someone for fear of loosing the person again. She finds trust, finds peace despite loosing that irreplaceable and invaluable possession and most importantly, finds love where all else fails.
A tale of trust, friendship, pain and romance. A tale of evolvement and family affairs, of bond and new beginnings.
There's always a first time for everything after all.

When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, the Bible says we receive supernatural help from the Holy Spirit. Because of that help, we can become more like Jesus, showing nine key characteristics—the fruits of the Spirit—in our daily lives.

1. Love
It's no coincidence that love is the first fruit listed in Galatians chapter 5. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God and love one another (Mark 12:30-31). When we love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves, we show the world we belong to Jesus.

Until you know God loves you, it will be difficult to love God and love others. Whether you've never heard that God loves you or you just need a reminder, watch this short, powerful video about God's amazing love for you.
Our culture uses the word "love" so casually ("I love your dress!" "I love cheeseburgers!"), it can be hard to identify the kind of love Jesus spoke about in the Bible. What does it look like to love God with all we have? Like any relationship, love means setting aside time. Take time to talk with God and get to know Him through the Bible.
Once we love God, we can love others. But love isn't just something to talk about; Jesus taught us to show our love through actions. Find ways to love people through acts of service. Even a simple phone call can make a difference. Then share God's love with others. Know someone who's hard to love? This Answer from Billy Graham may help.
2. Joy
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice" (Philippians 4:4). It's easy to rejoice when things are going our way. It's a different story when life is hard. But followers of Jesus are called to have joy all the time—not just when life is good.

One of the keys to being joyful is knowing why we rejoice. We don't rejoice in our money, jobs, vacations or even our relationships. We must rejoice in the Lord. Billy Graham's audio message, The Secret of Joy in Tribulation, addresses how to have joy even in the toughest times.
Billy Graham said, "Only the forward-looking Christian remains sincerely optimistic and joyful, knowing that Christ will win in the end." Is your focus on the problems of this world, or the eternal joy that is to come? If you find yourself focusing on negatives, redirect your thoughts to Jesus and the promise of heaven. Watch the video, Heaven.
If Christ followers are called to be joyful, why are some Christians so grumpy? Billy Graham's Answer.
3. Peace
Like the word "love," "peace" is a word that has become casual and hard to define. But true peace comes from God, and there's nothing like it.

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Jesus spoke those words thousands of years ago, but they're still meant for us today. Check yourself. Does your peace come from trusting Jesus, or does it come from your circumstances?
It seems more people than ever suffer from anxiety. But you can have peace when you train yourself to focus on God instead of yourself or the world around you. Start with reading and memorizing Philippians 4:6-9, which explains how to replace anxiety with the peace of God.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9). In this Answer, Billy Graham talks about whether world peace is possible. We should pray for peace throughout the world, but we also can't forget about our own backyard. Is there strife within your own family or workplace? Be a peacemaker there.
4. Patience
Living in this fast-paced world can give you a short fuse. Still, impatience isn't something you want to brush off as a minor personality flaw. If you find yourself getting annoyed, worried or intolerant while waiting on people, imagine how much more those negative emotions can escalate while you're waiting on the Lord.

Don't think you have what it takes to be a patient person? All the more reason to submit this tough area to God. See what the Bible says about patience and why you can't develop this trait on your own.
In some translations, the word "long-suffering" is used in place of "peace" in Galatians 5:22. Both patience and long-suffering deal with endurance—a necessary companion for your faith walk. In this Ruth Bell Graham writing, she uses the example of windsurfing to show the importance of patience, endurance and divine guidance.
God exercises more patience than we ever could. No matter how many times you mess up, God won't run out of patience with you. This answer from Billy Graham is a great reminder of God's unfailing love.
5. Kindness

Philippians 2:3-4 says, "count others more significant than yourselves" and "look to the interests of others." Kindness is about more than being cordial. It's an intentional act that requires effort and genuine concern. These reminders can help you become a kinder person.

Make room to be kind to others. Give compliments. Talk to strangers beyond saying, "Hello." Make extra effort this week to recognize opportunities to demonstrate kindness, and then follow through. Take note of how it impacts you and others.
"People take my kindness for weakness." Sound familiar? There's nothing weak about being kind to others. In fact, it takes a great degree of humility to consistently live this way. Read Billy Graham's devotion on the strength of having compassion for others.
When you totally give your life to Christ, your old ways no longer matter. With the help of God, you can embody the attributes of a kind person. Listen to this 1-minute audio message from Billy Graham that explains the new life you can live.
6. Goodness
To practice goodness, you must first know what God considers "good."

God calls us to have true, right and pure thoughts (Philippians 4:8). Billy Graham once gave this answer on controlling bad thoughts.
God calls us to love everyone, including our enemies. "The Bible declares that we who follow Jesus Christ should be just as much in love with each other as God was in love with us when He sent His Son to die on the cross." —Billy Graham in a sermon on love
God calls us to do the right thing for the right reasons. This battle starts with the heart. Listen to the Hour of Decision Online radio program, "Heart Disease."
7. Faithfulness
Do you have someone to turn to with the most important things in life? Someone who sticks close by through the ups and downs? A loyal friend isn't to be taken for granted. You can be that kind of person, too.

God is faithful. Are you faithful back? He wants us to be good stewards with what He's given us—time, talents, money, relationships. Can He trust you to treat or use these things wisely?
Being faithful to God also means not putting other things above Him. The Bible calls these idols—anything you worship or give "god-like" status to. An idol isn't necessarily a bad thing in and of itself—it could be work, social position, entertainment, looks—but can be a distraction when God doesn't come first. Is He at the center of all you do? Read more about idols.
Our relationships are important to God. Are you loyal to those around you? Can people trust that you'll do what you say you'll do? James 5:12 says, "Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No,' lest you fall into judgment."
8. Gentleness
Harsh. Abrasive. Overly critical. Angry. That doesn't exactly describe the kind of person you want to be around, does it? Here are some ways to approach your own relationships with gentleness.

Ephesians 4:29 says, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." Build others up, don't tear them down. Believe the best, don't assume the worst. Distance yourself from harmful gossip.
Anger may be justified, but how you deal with it can make or break relationships. It can also lead to bitterness, which gets you nowhere. Read short Q&As on coping with anger.
Constructive criticism can be helpful, but be wary of criticizing others to the point of belittling them. Balance your feedback with compliments. Be mindful of your tone of voice and who's around when you offer input. Have a hard time accepting criticism? Read more.
9. Self-control
With so many day-to-day temptations and frustrations, it can be hard to maintain self-control. Whether you're at home, at work or on the road, here are a few things to keep in mind.

We're all tempted, but we don't have to give in. Sometimes we need to distance ourselves from whatever is tempting us. Here's how to stay strong when faced with temptation. As 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, "…(God) will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
Maybe you lack self-control when it comes to food. Maybe it's hard to keep your cool when the kids are crying. Or maybe the issue is lust. Whatever it is, try taking a break. Count to 10 and refocus. Call a friend for encouragement. Read a Psalm to calm your heart and focus on God. Take a walk. Find tips on overcoming addiction.
Willpower alone might not be enough. Ask God for His power to maintain discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."

"Lexi! Are you done with those dishes yet?"


"Almost Aunt Elly."


"When you are finished come see me!"


With a small sigh I dried off the last couple dishes before putting them in their respective places. It was already early evening and I still had a few chores on my list left. Aunt Elly kept me extremely busy, I never had a chance to read or sit down except for when we eat our meals. My body was sore and I was physically exhausted. I haven't even had a chance to call my mother the last few day because my aunt keeps my phone until all of my chores are finished, she says it's the devil device if used inappropriately so she has to watch me closely. I honestly was ready to go home, but I made sure not to voice my feelings or thoughts.


I walked into the living room where Aunty Elly was relaxing on the couch with her Bible in hand. She looked up upon my entrance and stared at me for a moment, causing me to quickly lower my head. Looking into an elders eyes was disrespectful according to my aunt, I was struggling to keep track of her rules. 


"Go out for a couple hours. You have been working very hard and have not lazed around, so enjoy this small reward. Just be sure to be back before your curfew."


When Aunt Elly finished her short speech she handed me my phone before going back to reading the Bible. With a huge smile and quick thank you I ran to my room and changed into a pair of grey joggers and a mustard colored tank top that showed my belly button and covered it with a grey jacket. I grabbed one of my many books and ran out the door and made my to the cemetery. The place was absolutely beautiful and well taken care of, even the historical part of it and the quiet relaxed me and allowed me to breathe easy for a small while. 


The entrance to the cemetery was coming into view and I began to pick up my pace so I could get to Grimald faster. Spending time with someone (or in this case something) that you didn't have to talk to or force a conversation with made things more enjoyable. But the thought of reading with him made me smile and caused a feeling of excitement rush through me. 


Walking towards the back of the cemetery I didn't pass a single person, no one had come to pay a visit to the dead today. This meant that I would have Grimald all to myself and absolute peace and quiet. This thought caused me to run as fast as possible to the oldest part of the cemetery and quickly get comfortable beside the gargoyle with my head leaning on his arm. I opened up my book and began to read while the sun slowly began to set and the graveyard began to get darker. 


After an hour of ready my back began to hurt me my butt was getting numb so I stood up to stretch and shivered at the small chill in the air. I wrapped my jacket tighter around my body and quickly settled back into my spot beside Grimald. Looking up at his face I felt bad for using him as a back rest, his sorrowful eyes caused sharp pain in my heart. So once I was settled I began to read allowed to him, at first it felt silly really to a gargoyle but after a few minutes I relaxed and started enjoying it. I had never had anyone to read to because I didn't like talking to other people that much, but talking to Grimald was very easy to speak to despite his inability to respond. 


I felt my eyes begin to close as I read and before I knew it I had fell sound asleep with my head on the arm of a cursed gargoyle. The sense of peace I received from his presence was something I had never experienced before. Unfortunately, I was rudely awoken by a loud ringing sound and a buzzing feeling coming from the pocket of my joggers. Groggily I searched until I found the source of the noise before realizing it was my phone and the ringing noise was happening because my aunt was calling me.


"I'm on my way right now Aunt Elly. I am so sorry I fell asleep while reading my book and lost track of time."


"I want you home this instant. I am very disappointed in you and I will not be allowing you the use of your phone except to check in with your mother am I understood?"


"Yes ma'am."


"Good hustle yourself home right now."


With that she hung up on me  and I was left in shock for a moment. I had never been grounded or had my phone taken from me before, I always thought I was a good child. Mom and dad were always calling me their good girl and always told me how proud they were of me and now here I am being punished by my aunt. 


With a sigh I told Grimald, "I honestly wish I could go home. Your the only good thing that has happened on this entire trip. Hopefully I'll get to visit you again soon."


I quickly walked off with tears in my eyes and my head hung down low while the tears slowly began rolling down my cheeks. As if on instinct my hand reached up to the rings clasped around my neck and grasped them for comfort. For some odd reason they felt slightly warm in my hand but I just told myself I was crazy and just over emotional. But the time I reached my aunts house the rings had cold off, but I was to busy listening to my aunt's lecture on my carelessness to notice. I went to bed without dinner that night, and I fell asleep with tear stains on my pillow case and my hand once again wrapped around the rings.

'As the creature was bowed forward, only being held up by the strength of the ropes, the ministers quickly opened up the book. The light of the torches caught the name on the cover, 'Accalia'. No one knew what the name meant, but all that matter to them was what the inside of the book could do to the creature of the night. The ministers were filled with excitement and adrenaline, ready to make an example of him and once and for all put themselves on a level that they never should have strived for.

In a booming voice, the minister holding the book began to speak.

"As punishment for your crimes against God and His people, you will be sentenced to an eternity of anguish. Each morning, as the sun begins to rise, you will turn to stone, a slow painful process that will remind you of what you are and what you have done. Each night, as the sun sets, you will return to your natural form, to be hunted by man and God. You will be bound to the square slab in the center of the cemetery, to watch over the dead, but remember. If you do not return each morning before sunrise, you will turn to dust."
