Chapter 138 - HEART OF FAITH

"Timmy, get out of there!!"

"Who said that? There is no one in this room but me. I demand to know who I am speaking to."

"Make all haste, I urge you. The king is coming and will be upon you any second."

"Sir, a boy has taken out your guards. He lays in your throne room, now."

"Give me my sword!! I'll deal with him myself."

"I present before you all a clear clean glass of water. See, there are no spots or particles inside whatsoever. Your mom was either very good at washing dishes or she goes out and buys you a new cup everytime you go out."

"Maybe!!"

"Um…ir ir!! So, this is how we all started off. We started off pure, clean, innocent, and full of…"

"NOTHING?"

"The Spirit."

"Jesus, if it is you talking, then I am not leaving this room. Someone has to expose Sparro for the villain he is. I'm baring the doors and locking the room down. If I don't make it out of here.... tell Adelheid I love her."

"Although we started out pure, it wasn't long until sin entered into us. Here I'll display by pouring a blackberry packet into this empty cup."

"Are we ready?"

"Shadow, not yet. I have a little…situation holding us back."

"Take care of it. It'll give you a perfect excuse to kill the boy. He'll finally be able to cry with his love, again…. forever."

"What if he has friends?"

"I'll give you the power to turn into a wolf so that you may dispose of him much either. That is all."

"Jesus says we were all born with sin, but through the grace of Jesus Christ, we can refill our cups and wipe out the disgusting blackberry packet."

"Sadly, most people rather either leave the packet in there, or try their hardest to shake it out of the cup on their own; but as you can see; there are still a few droppings that stay stuck to the bottom of the cup. So, since they can't shake the sin; instead of living a life of turmoil, they just accept it as is."

"I'm coming for you boy!! You should know by now not to steal from someone. Isn't that something your God has written down on His stones!!!"

"IT'S NOT STEALING IF IT'S ALREADY STOLEN. I'M JUST TAKING IT FROM YOU AND PUTING IT BACK!!"

"You keep telling yourself that, kid. Whatever helps you fall asleep at night."

"In an attempt to cover their own sin and not have it so publicly displayed, people have turned to making their own gods and ideas to make it look like there are some sins that Jesus said are bad, but their are others He said are ok. There are real sins that He has said, but then there also have been made up sins that we as a human have invented so that it is totally impossible to keep them all.

Adalyn, can you please open this water bottle?"

"Here you go, Star."

"So, since we have decided to cover our own sins and make up others, we have made it so that…. let me pour this. We've made it so that not only our sins are now covered, but it is a lot harder to now find and drink from the real true pure water. Thankfully, there are those like my brother, who will fight to find the true water, and when they find it, they will defend it."

"OPEN UP!!"

"Never!!"

"OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I'M BREAKING IT DOWN!!"

"Uhh!! Umm. What can I use as a weapon? Think, Timmy, think!!

His scepter!!! It's sharp enough that it just might work!!"

"Once my brother decided to search for a new glass of water, his true journey began. Before this, he was only searching for things on the earth and looking for hidden messages within the very text of Scripture. This time though, he, like others, learned that in order to find the cleanest and freshest water, you got to go to the source. Water is always coldest/coolest at the top of the waterfall and never the bottom. Why? Water up there is always still. Once it starts moving, that's where it slowly loses its cool. So, instead of looking down, he found that he needed to look up.

"Look up? Why, of course. The king would not have hidden the stone on a low level. He would have hidden it high enough so that no one would be able to reach it. I see it."

"Here, my mother called me up and told me that I was needed. I thought since I was successful as a Hopegiver elsewhere, watching my brother would be a piece of cake. Boy was I wrong. I found out that no matter how much scripture you grew up reading, how many people you had previously saved, nor how close you were to the Truth; God will always test you. I fought monster after monster."

"FINE!!!! I'M LETTING MYSELF IN!!!! KNOCK…. KNOCK!!!!"

"You don't scare me, Sparro!!"

"It's not me you should be afraid of."

"I know!! I'm not afraid of you, nor am I afraid of what is inside you!!"

"Hyaaaaaaaa!!!!"

"You will never defeat me!!"

"WHERE'S THE STONE?"

"You're gonna have to rip it out of me."

"At first, I was winning victory after victory, but inside, I was slowly crumbling away."

"Face it kid!! You're weak! You'll never defeat me. YOU'LL NEVER DEFEAT.... THE SHADOW!!!"

"It wasn't until I got separated from the others by the act of something my brother meant to be evil. I was at my low. I cried to God…. but I received no answer."

"God, where are you? I need you. Give me the strength to defeat my enemies."

"Your God is dead. It's just you and me boy!! But if you really want to talk to Him then I can personally send you there if you'd like."

"Never!! I found the water of life, and my brother was threatening to pull it away from me. I would not give in no matter how dark it got. I would and did…fight back!!"

"Aaagh!!"

"Ouch!! You hit me on the side of my head using my own rocks. You'll pay for the damage….with your life!!"

*TING* TING*

"E….NOUGH!!!"

"There I was. I was smack dab against the wall. It felt like the darkness had succeeded and got what it wanted."

"This is where your story ends, Timmy. I really much liked you and made you a son to me. The only problem is, my son is dead. So, in order for you to be my son...you have to follow him!!"

"Remember guys, whenever the Dragon tries to do something to you that means harm, use it for good. He sent me down under where I was questioning anything and everything, but once my eyes were opened, I realized my new surroundings and all the new people I could lead to Christ.

Darkness never wins…unless you let it!!"

"Yaaaahhhh!!!

YOU…WILL NEVER…GET THE STONE!! JESUS, OPEN MY EYES!!"

"Transform!! Rar!!

Rarr!!

Rarr!!"

"Give me the strength to close this wolf's mouth. I may be no David, but I'm no sinner either."

"Aaaaghh!!"

"This is for Adelheid, you little piece of…."

"*SNAP!!

"That was the sound I heard when Shadow bashed my head against the tree.

I may have died physically that day, but as you can see. EVEN THE GRAVE CANNOT HOLD ME!!!

I have conquered LIFE!!

I have conquered DEATH!!

And I've crushed the devil's heart in my hands."

"Uuuch!! Huu!! Hauu!!"

"Timmy, what.... what are you doing on stage, and what are those things in your hands? Arre those what I think it is?"

"Here, take your stone."

"How?"

"....I took his heart!!.....He was a Dragon!!"
