Nevi helped Lehi snip some leafy vegetables. The already harvested some onions, ginger, bell peppers and carrots. They are only left to wash the soil from the root crops they had reaped from the family of patotoes.
"So how is married life?" Nevi inquire in a friendly manner
"Not that bad, I never thought that securing and guarding a spot within a relationship is more challenging." Lehi hummed as she wipe the carrots and arranges it inside their basket.
" I see, you matured a lot since becoming a wife. I am glad you did. I even attended your wedding secretly."
Nevi commented with affirmation.
Lehi was surprised to hear that he was there. She wondered how did he survived that long being alone. Nevi's courage amazes her most of the time, even when they were back at their era.
Cyrus leaded them to get back at their main base. They followed the same route. Their team was the first to arrive.
Nevi did the cookin. He hath assigned King Cyrus to slice the onions. Hexel chopped some potatoes and Lehi is in charge of the dessert. Nevi, Hexel and Lehi are awestruck at Cyrus who did not shed a tear even slicing bunches of onions.
Taw can see that Urchin had the stongest potential and gift. Taw can't help but think that Urchin instrument is not a gift but of dark magic. Taw hath reviewed all the details of each person's identity, personality and character. According to what she have gathered so far. Ophir and Urchin had the most mysterious and questionable background. Taw can't help but inquire with Cyrus concerning Urchin.
Taw observed yesterday how the young boy invite them on a trance and showed them what he is witnessing. Most gift are of vision having such unique one would highly affect his physical body and it needs a solid and intimate fellowship with God.
Taw recalled the tragic scene they have witnessed. It was about a yound lady with a girl. The girl invite the woman to accompany her and the young lady with white dress did it out of kindness. When the lady stood up from bed to follow the girl. The lady was shocked of the next event. The young girl directly rip her heart out. It left a hole on her chest, her skin faded and deteriorate. Her skeleton was onlu left. Right after the incident her male friend came to visit her but she hid behind the closet.
Taw got her self back to reality when Ophir jammed the hammer to split the rotten wood. The piercing sound made taw to pace toward them.
"Boys, Use the proper tools for the proper things."
Ophir and Kiel reacted with apologetic face and act of palliate.
"Aren't the two of you married?" Taw striked a conversation not to frightened the boys. Kiel and Ophir noded.
"Why did you married your wife now?" Followep up.
Kiel answered first as he pick the suitable shape to match the plain vase laying around.
"Because I promised her."
Ophir knew that it was his cue and said.
"Because she met the standard I prayed for."
Taw grinned at their honest answers.
"Who are your wives by the way? "
Ophir finished gathering the scattered nail and shortly said. "Lehi." And Keil added "Lila".
Urchin started jumping and clapping when he was done painting. The paint were all over his body. And he did a good job all the paint were mixed like an abstract piece. They all laughed at Urchin who joyfully joined them.
Kiel and Ophir are left to rearrange the place with the things they fixed.
Taw escorted Urchin to take a bath.
When Taw helped Urchin to removed his clothes. She saw his viens so visible in his fair skin . She also noticed that his small back seem to have some transparent drawing. She splashed it with the water and it disappeared. She sighed in relief and was glad that her driblet suspicion is wrong. Urchin bathed and glided on the natural water fall. It looked like a canal but is cleansed.
"Urchin dear, aside from trance what gifts do you have?"
Urchin blinked at her and swam near taw. He started enumarating that stunned her.
"Urcwhin cwan dwo, bwam, swoosh and weesh."
Taw sweat drop at his childish expressions and answer.
"He meant vision, trance, pause time and words." Ophir interpreted, as Kiel roam toward Urchin to wipe his body.
Taw just nod her head in agreement and tilt it when she noticed the visible engravement. Taw remembered seeing it somewhere but she can't recall where. When she glance once more the mark vanished. Taw noted that she will asked Cyrus about this concern.
Yodh, Natalina and Lila hang their laundry to dry it. They decided to head back and eat some dinner and found out that they were the last one to arrive. Cyrus team arrived first and had served their lunch. The team assigned Urchin to pray for the food.
"Ower Fwather, wew thwank youw fwor thwe fwood. Blwess us awll. Amwen."
Taw made some coffee for Cyrus. She have discussed what she saw and Cyrus just agreed that they are currently investigating about it. Cyrus also mentioned that Gardenia was the one training Urchin to make sure that his gift would be for the good works. Gardenia even pointed out that it's necessary for the kid to utilize his gift or else it will explode like a fermented rice wine yearning for a pot for space.
Taw is under her blanket but her mind keep looping what she slightly saw at Urchin's back. It was like the young boy when through something tormenting even before he start crawling. Taw's imagination and scrutinizing got cut off when her husband's arms squeeze her thightly.
Hexel kneel inside his capsule to pray for his interest in the aspect of love and his standard of women as Cyrus said. It's foreign for him to pray for this area in his life. He thought that it was embarrassing and crazy but nothing is impossible when it comes to the Lord.
"Lord, today I bow down under your feet. I am lost for words. I don't know how to talk about this with you. So I came undone fully surrendering my doubts and hesitations. I humbly asked for wisdom when it comes to a woman I wanted to buld my life with. Guard my heart, give me the peace needed in waiting and pursuing. Amen."
