Chereads / The Number Five / Chapter 97 - Volume Ninety Seven

Chapter 97 - Volume Ninety Seven

The carriage became silent again. This time I don't blame them for being silent, they are listen to their hero tell a story. I don't want to be a hero to them though. Their hero should be Jesus Christ, but I should them the love of God. Even with the love of God that doesn't mean that people are going to believe in him. I mean I even saw people who had the same beliefs as me turn against their own kind, so all I do is pray for them. Pray for the truth to be exposed to them in a certain way for them too accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I'm not the perfect Believer in so that for a fact be nobody is going to either. The carriage stopped after moving for several hours, I decided to step out for the carriage. Scout the area around us. My temporary party as very confused by my actions, most of them started to laugh at me. " Jim what are you doing?!. Their isn't any monsters here, well at least I know. The guards and Members of the guild check the Forest surrounding the path leading to Nord. So don't worry about anything out here okay!". They started unpacking the carriage. I still scouted the area of where we are going to be spending the night at, their is no tracks around these woods. So they were right about no monsters in the woods. Is that another way they have keep their people happy?!, or did they do that cause of their food supply ran dry?!. I have to get more answers from these people before the journey ends. The Mage casted a fire spell on the wood, which was gathered by the dwarf. While the fire was burning the wood. The Elf was very anxious, her mood cause me to feel bad for her. The mood had expanded to the rest of the party. What was their problem?!, why are they acting like this?!. Is it cause of something I've said or down to cause them to be like this. If I had caused this then I have to apologize to them for my actions, " look guys I'm for my tone back then.". They looked at each other, then the Elf responded. " SIR!, Jim you've done nothing wrong sir. We were just wondering something about you?!". What kind of suspicious do they have of me to chase them to act like this?, the mage shortly responded after the Elf. " Jim we were wondering what kind of Magic do you have?!. All of the people of Nord would love to know. Or what powers were you given to become this powerful?!, everyone would had become a member of the guild. Past their respect to the statue of you. Do you have healing magic?!, maybe you have the ability to slow time down. Or is it the power to reverse time it self?!. I'm sorry for asking so many questions, it's just we all have heard stories of you. Made plays about you, wrote songs about you. Not everyone celebrates you in Nord. But everyone that is a member of the guild does, so can you please tell us your secrets?!!!!!". I slowly took the top off of the pot that was cooking a stew with rabbit and mushrooms, filling my bowl with the stew. Eating the stew while consuming the stew, wrapping my head around the idea of this. So this whole time these people thought I had some overpowered ability that made me do this miracles. This is something I have to clear up right away, it's bad enough that they have a statue of me. Now they are telling me that anyone who joins the guild basically worships me. Putting down the bowl, nothing remained inside of it. With my belly filled with the stew," quick question what type of story was made about me?!". The dwarf answered for the mage. " Well let's see um. Oh well the legacy behind you is that you came into Nord, healing everyone. Hell most people even believe that you are the light that shines over Nord. Your like. A God!". This can't be, I don't to be looked at like God. I'm not worth of being received like him. They have been twisted by folklore about my name, my legacy is made up. Twisted to please the minds of Nord. I have to set this straight before my time runs out, I understand that if I tell them the truth. It would crush their view of me, but their view of me means nothing to me. The only one I need approval of is Jesus Christ. I cleared my throat before breaking the heart of my party, the way they look at me hurts me. " Look guys, I'm not a hero. Nor do I claim to be one, okay I'm just a normal Human. That believes in Jesus Christ. That is it I have no powers, so I'm sorry to break the news to y'all. I'm not what you think I am. Okay that is just it, I'm an ordinary Human. Who by the grace of God is the reason why I'm still standing here, it hurts me knowing that y'all have such high hopes for me. process what I had unfolded later, cause I do not live inside of Daragain. The reason is a very long one. I stayed in the same house of Adamsin, once my home was burned. Adamsin took me in as a son. Also the rules of Daragain are few, no mix breeding in Daragain. That is the only rule in Daragain. Beware of monsters in Daragain, I'm not talking about animals. That's the least of our worried. The real issue is the people of Nord, they have lost all sense of morals. I've seen it all happen, what you think can happen to a human. They done it. The reason why I'm on this quest is cause of Marcus!!!!".
