Chapter 49 - Chappie 49

The children were taken away and cared for by the other priests and deacons who were in the church while Viola and the rest followed Deacon Ulric.

They were led into the main church where the Bishop was. The Bishop looked like a miniature version of Santa claus only without the beard. He had snow white hair , Harry Potter glasses and baby blue eyes. The Bishop was dressed in a white vest and suit coat which had a small gold pectoral Cross and chain between the vest and suit coat.

The Bishop was on his knees before the altar of the church fervently praying , seeking the guidance and counsel of God.

Beside the Bishop knelt another man. The man was a built man dressed in a loose white top, black pants and black boots with a skin as dark as chocolate.

Deacon Ulric along with Viola and her group stopped a little distance away from the altar, waiting for the Bishop.

The Bishop finished his prayer and then rose up from the foot of the altar where he was kneeling. He lifted a small bowl which was filled with anointing oil and anointed the man.

"Just as Angel Michael is the helper of the church's armies against the attacks of the devil, so shall you also fight to protect this church. Arise Michael! (his name is also Michael) you are anointed with the courage of Angel Michael in the name of the father, the son and the Holy spirit. Amen!"

"Amen!"Deacon Ulric said.

Michael rose to his feet and turned to face the group. Viola and the rest finally got a good look at Michael as he faced them. Michael was dark skinned with golden eyes and tangled locs. It was the first time any of them saw a dark skinned person and they gawked at him in awe.

Michael headed out of the church.While leaving, his golden eyes met Viola's brown ones.
