Everything seemed blurry at first then gradually it became clearer till I could see very clearly.
I noticed I was lying down on a very comfortable mattress with my and my bruises had been treated and wrapped with bandages.
I raised my head up slightly and noticed that most of my property was also there. I began to ruminate over the last things could remember but could go no further than when I was flung against a huge tree branch by a big log of wood in oscillation. I lifted my arms and surprisingly I felt no pain. I hit my legs which were also wrapped and I felt no pain too was about to stand up when my mother came in.
"You are awake Santos lie down and get some rest" she told me
"Where are we? How did I get here?" I asked with a very noticeable amount of surprise in my voice.
"Get well first and we have all the time in the world to discuss." She replied shoving my question aside but I really wanted answers immediately.
I immediately stood up. "l am ok. Can't you
see that" I asked but she could only stammer
and I just left her behind in the room and walked out of the door but.
On entering the sitting room I was faced with the greatest shocker. Sitting amongst my brother Steve and sister Martha was myfather!
"You are supposed to be dead" I stuttered.
"You are awake!" My siblings screamed out of ecstacy but I didn't respond because I had more questions and obviously they could respond to that question of theirs. I looked out through the window and everything was modern and it looked nothing like the white village which was removed from the rest of the world and had rejected civilization believing it goes against the rule of the gargoyles who wanted to meet the world the way they left it. Cars ran along the tarred and decorated roads just like America where I was born. This too surprised me I turned to see my father who knew that I had grown up feeling ashamed of who he was kneeling down.
"I know l lived an irresponsible life and had caused you a lot of insults but I promise I have turned a new leaf and will not disappoint you anymore. Please find a place in your heart Santos to forgive and accommodate me." He pleaded earnestly
"How did you leave hell?" I queried though I was not so sure he went to hell or heaven.
He left with Helena and other demons but was later left them in his physical form and
m some of the riches of hell which could sustain us till we die to make it up to us. He was the one who brought you out of the dark cave and brought us all to this city. My mother explained
"Where is this place?" I asked no one in particular.
"The land of the saved" replied my father who was still kneeling.
