Chapter 145 - FEEBLE CHILDREN

"Celeste, watch out. He's coming around!!"

"Help!! I'm trapped!! I'm trapped!!"

"Use your shield to block his claws. I'll be there as fast as I can."

"I can't. My faith is failing. He's breaking through. He…he….he's…dissapearing?"

"What? How? No..no..noo…noooo!!"

"What's happening? You can't all disappear! I got you. Hang onto me tight, Jade."

"Celeste, it's okay. You can let me go."

"No!! I won't lose you. How could this have happened?"

"I don't know. Someone must've gone back in time and killed the original Dagon thus making it impossible for us to still exist."

"Then how are you disappearing and others aren't?"

"There must be another. Those of us associated with the old are disappearing with the old. The only way I fear it is if her spawn still lives. If her spawn exists then the young that are associated with her, still exist."

"Wait!! You don't make any…..sense!!!!"

"Shadow, are you ok? I heard you coughing."

"What do you care? It's just a little blood. Probably reacted to something in the air down here."

"The only thing down here is death and I'll not have you become part of it. Here, wrap your arm around me and I'll support you from falling."

"Why are you...loving me? Is not that Lovechild's job? Have you and your friends not baited me here so that they could find a way to keep me in one place and kill me?"

"....We have!!! Only problem is, I speak of my own accord and not on the voices of others. They may want you dead, but I don't. Now lay down here and rest. We'll never make it in your condition. I'll get a fire started and look for water."

"Where will you look? Everything's dead here."

"Just have faith. I saw a small stream awhile back."

"Stream? You're not talking about See through Lake, are you?"

"Huh?"

"Whatever you do, don't look at your reflection in the water. The water will show you what could be if you pursued what you wanted in the future. The further you lean in to look however, the more you'll find yourself under the water staring up instead of above staring below."

"Shadow, no Mist can trick me and pull me under the waves by showing me a positive version of my future. I can already see what is to be, remember."

"Just looking out for you, my Princess. I promised Adalyn I would. Promise to come back?"

"Only if you promise to be here when I do."

"Have I ever failed my promises?"

"I will say that you always try your hardest to keep them."

"Thank you. Tell me, where'd I go wrong? If the future is as bad as it is, then how?"

"How do you know what is to be?"

"Nobody has ever gone back in time to stop something that turned out good. My vision for Dreamworld started out pure. How did I go dark? Where did I take a left turn? Can you see that?"

"It matters not what I see but who you are. Stay in the path you trek, and doom shall never meet you ahead."

"Do you always talk like this?"

"Funny, the girls asked me that same thing."

"How can I stay in my path if I know not when I falter? And don't you dare say that….."

"Just have faith."

"I should a asked NightMaster. He would've told me."

"You rather trust the word of a Demon as opposed to mine?"

"Why are you getting all….wait a minute. There are only two people that Jesus shows visions of past, present, and future too on a daily basis. They are Prophets....and Angels."

"Woo! Woo!! Hey now. If you think that I am an Angel, then you got your wires crossed. I am no Angel. I'm just a Messenger."

"But aren't Messengers…."

"Sorry to interrupt. Time to go draw water. Byeeee!!"

"You can't leave. We just got here."

"Where is here, exactly?"

"Well, now that we know why, we need to find out how."

"Move it snakes. I need to get through so that I can change her dress. This could be the day."

"This is the day!!! This is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

"Who let you girls down here?"

"Is she dead or just sleeping?"

"Regardless of whatever state she is in, I think she looks beautiful as is, and I love that you have been dressing her up for someone's bride."

"She's not dead, and she's nobody's bride but my own. The forces of darkness are keeping her from me, but I've been trying my hardest to bring her back."

"You don't have to try alone. Let us help you."

"What do you girls know of death and life?"

"Let's just say that we have had way more experience with death than life. Death outnumbers all our years."

"She outnumbers theirs."

"That's nothing that….wait…wait..where'd it go?"

"What are you digging around for?"

"The stone! I had it here in my pouch. How could I have been so…..oh no."

"Did we leave it?"

"We can figure it out later. Right now, we have someone to wake. Adalyn, if you would please!!"

"Step back, Reaper. I need focus."

"What are you….open your eyes."

"Reaper, just let her. It helps her become one so that she can."

"Can what? Why is she twisting her hand?"

"She's activating it."

"Activating? Activating what?"

"'Gness, so xypnao apo ton ypno sou gia nha secothes st' aletheia. iii athootita kai iii agnotita sou den tairiazoun me olous. so chreiazomaste edo simera gia nha apokatastisoume all osa itan, all osa einai, kai all osa t ginoun."

"Can you understand?"

"Shh, I know the tongue."

"Sas eucharist gia thn agnotita kai thn athootita ths psichisl ths. patera, eulogese auto to spot kai epanes afise then sti morfi ths. dose ston theristi piso the nyfi the."

"Woo!! What's happening? The mansion is shaking, her dress is tearing off."

"Reaper, go to NightMaster and use your scythe to heal him. My wounds inflicted on him may have healed in the past, but they could resurface."

"Heal a demon!!! Those are two words that should never be put in the same sentence. Can't you just keep healing her yourself?"

"Nope. Once an article or anything goes within someone, its power is subdued. It is more powerful on its own. That's why I wanted the stone because I am only so strong. The only thing stronger than articles, is faith. If you have the faith that she will be awake when you get back then she will, but faith requires you to give up everything you believe in. Look, feel her skin. It's wet, but it's not full. She needs your faith to become full and have her eyes opened. That is if…."

"No. No. Noo. I'll do it. I'll do it all. On top of it, I'll bring back a red dress and a ring to show you that I did."

"Adalyn, should his girl be all the proof he…"

"Deal. Hurry along. She's not getting any younger."

"Adalyn, I know you are not as strong with the stone in you, but couldn't you have healed her fully on her own?"

"I could have, but he wouldn't have learned his lesson. He would've been the leper that enjoys what Jesus did for him but walks away without a thank you. Jesus could have just physically touched everyone in the Bible and healed them all right then and there, but there were specific people He wanted to get the message. These people He knew would not thank Him properly for healing them so He told them to go do odd things that they personally had to sacrifice as something they would never do so that He could get the praise. That's all it is. These people after doing what Jesus told them to would come back and be more willing to believe Him. Why? Not only did they believe He healed them, but they also found out what true faith was."

"Think he'll be back?"

"I know he'll be back. Let's get her ready. I want this mansion in top shop shape when he gets back. Jesus says His temple will be a house of Love and not a den of thieves."

"What about snakes and underaged kids drinking and partying upstairs!!"

"Summer, take the dragons and crash their party. Star and I'll clean up the snakes. Afterwards we can start on the walls and the table."

"My dragons are mighty, but they are not vast."

"Have the kids help you. Tell them that they'll get..."

"THE MANSION."

"What?"

"You heard me. Tell them that if they help you clean up then they'll get the whole entire mansion as their own getaway house."

"Then where will Reaper and his wife live?"

"Just have faith. There is a place for them.
