Chapter 6 - The Aura of Light

Catherine and Isabella reappeared at the court room of Justice also called, 'The Guardian court Room where dead souls are being judged and purified to live in the spirit world. We're back here again?..... Isabella mutters. Yes, we are and your first training starts here..... answered Catherine..... Isabella smiled. Ok...….. So, will I be fighting dragons or what?

I wish that was the case but no.... you will be doing something far more intense. Isabella thought. What could be more intense than Fighting dragons?........ Catherine seems to read through her thought. You will be purifying souls and ordain them fit to live in the spirit world. Isabella curious. That shouldn't be a big deal, is it? You will see about that. Come with me! ...…. she dragged Isabella along. Isabella was asked to sit on the judgement throne. Catherine then informs the souls that where all waiting for purification to come forward to get purified.

The first ghost on the queue appeared before them. Watch me, Isabella. said Catherine. I will attend to this ghost first and then you attend to the rest. ….. Isabella nodded in reply. Catherine direct her gaze to the first ghost. What's your name? A young teenage girl of about 10 years of age speaks up. My name is Lisa James. Catherine smiled at her. Lisa...James….. and what's the no on your tag? The young ghost quickly replies as she checks the no on her tag. No 15.

Catherine scanned through the book of record in her possession in search of her name. Found it! She exclaimed.....Your name is Lisa James who lived at no 22, glory land street, Happy villa right? The young ghost nodded. Right. Catherine declares. Date and time of death, 'September 7th, 2018 at 7:00pm in the evening. Cause of death, 'Illness'. She stares intently at the young ghost. Hmmm... you've suffered quite a lot child. You had a very rare disease since birth which seemed to have caused you a lot of pain and discomfort eventually leading to your death...… she smiled. Come forward for your purification, child. She now focuses her gaze on Isabella. I need you to purify her using 'The aura of light'.

Isabella is confused as she tries to stand up on her feet.... oh, ok. Catherine corrected her. You don't need to stand, my dear. Just place the 'Aura of light' on her forehead and repeat after me. She quickly places the aura of light on the forehead of the young ghost.

Catherine declares as she instructs Isabella to repeat after her. " I, Isabella! the leader of the guardians of the spirit world! Cleanser of souls thereby purify you and pronounce you cleansed from today hence forth!

Isabella repeated likewise. Catherine declared further. You're now fit to live in the spirit world!..... You're now fit to live in the spirit world! repeated Isabella. The young Ghost bows as she takes her leave. Isabella laments. Poor soul....at such a young age, I can't possibly imagine the pain she must have being through living as a human...

Catherine answered. It's her destiny child... Her fate was already sealed the moment she was diagnosed of that rare disease. Isabella smiled. Good thing she can finally find rest in this world. You're right. Said Catherine. Good thing she can. Next on the queue who came forward for purification is a young man of age 26. Catherine turns her gaze on Isabella. Over to you dear. Isabella nodded. Alright. i guess it's my turn.... Isabella stared at the young man intently. What's your name, Handsome? My name is Steven Gold. replied the Male ghost. Isabella signs. Steven Gold.... Hmmm ….. and how old are you? I'm 25 years old. Quite impressive. smiled Isabella. So, tell me more about yourself...

Catherine quickly cuts in. We don't have time for this Isabella. Get straight to the point. Remember, he isn't the only one getting purified tonight. Isabella realizes her mistake. I'm sorry. She then turns her gaze back to the male ghost. What's your tag, no?

The male ghost quickly checks for the no on his tag. No 170. She scanned through the book of record in search of his information. She finally finds it as she declares. Your name is Steven Gold Jnr. You lived at No 23, smile land street, Merry City. Date and time of death, May 2nd, 2018 at 8:00am dawn. Cause of death, 'Murder' She exclaimed in shock. What?! .... What's so shocking in someone dying an unnatural death? Catherine interrupted.

Isabella answered. He was killed! That's enough to get upset...… She focuses her gaze seriously on the male ghost Should I just get revenge for you? Catherine cuts in..... It's wrong as Guardians to mingle in human lives. You will learn that as soon as you proceed in your training...… So, we should just fold our hands and do nothing while we watch innocent citizens been oppressed and suffers? said Isabella with a frown.

Catherine answered. According to the Guardian code of conduct, there're rules and protocols will must all abide by as Guardians of the spirit world. Isabella curious. Which are? ... No 1, "Never interfere in the personal lives of the ghost especially that which has to do with how they spent their lives on earth". Mingling with the lives of the humans attract severe penalties. Remember, we don't have any business mingling with the lives of humans. Our jobs as guardians is to ensure peace and love are practiced in the spirit world as well as balance is achieved in both realms.

Isabella turns sadly to the male ghost. I may not have the power to return the injustice which was done to you but…..one thing I can say for sure, your killers wouldn't go unpunished. Karma will definitely catch up on them. She smiled at him weakly. According to your records, you've lived quite a good life on earth...….. She then places the Aura of light on his forehead as she declares aloud. I, 'Isabella!' the cleanser of souls thereby purify you today and pronounce you cleansed to live in the spirit world. You're now fit to live in the spirit world...… The male Ghost bows as he takes his leave.

Catherine smiled satisfactorily as she said. Impressive, Isabella... Very Impressive. I can see you're now able to do your job with less difficulty….. I could feel your heart towards that 'young male ghost'. I know you will make a great Guardian 'Isabella'. You know how to move others emotionally and you have a pure heart. Other ghost keep coming forward for purification and before Isabella could successfully complete her first task, she was completely exhausted.

Catherine finally declarers. You can go home now, child. You can return tomorrow to finish up your task. I don't think you can carry on anymore looking at your current state.... You can't even stand up properly..... I believe you're this way because you still possess the human genes in you.

Isabella tries standing up but couldn't find her feat. She kept staggering and falling off. Thank you Catherine. I thought I was going to die if I go on with the purification. Where's the way to my house? She tries to stand again, but she falls off again. Oh, great! This is so much harder than I thought.

Catherine tries to help her up. You don't have to worry Isabella. I will take you home.... If you go on like this, I'm not sure you will be able to make it for school tomorrow….. She quickly held her hand as they both vanished from sight.
