BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37
The people of the church seemed terrified, they quickly began to withdraw for fear of dying in this place; but the further they went, the more evident the unwillingness of one of them to leave became. In the end, the person stopped before it was out of sight, he seemed to hesitate momentarily but in the end, he turned around and walked back to the archangel.
In what seemed to be a stupid and suicidal action, he is. . . Now that I see her well, a woman of the church, she walks until she was right in front of the archangel Katya only to kneel and remove the religious veil that covered her face.
I would love to describe the beautiful golden-haired woman under the veil, but honestly, I was more focused on the archangel’s reaction than on observing the woman.
′′ What do you hope to obtain by kneeling in front of my mortal? ′′ exclaimed the archangel with a stoic expression still on her face.
′′ I do not expect anything, I have helped those who plotted against you the one who represents justice and balance; my ignorance is no excuse that can be used. I return to you and kneel simply because my conscience asks me, I have been devoted to the values ??of the church; so I have to apologize even if it costs me my life. ′′ Say with conviction the now kneeling woman from the church.
The woman sounded quite serious and sincere at least for me, a note of sadness reigned in her voice for having betrayed her faith; but whether that made any difference to the being of immense power in front of her remains to be seen.
.....
′′ Faith in you is strong young lady, I can feel it; a pure faith in a pure heart. ′′ A softness recently loos came back to Katya’s voice one again while she responded to the woman.
The young woman seemed very happy to receive Katya’s praise, but her happiness was short-lived.
′′ But you put your faith in the wrong place′′ Says Katya still with that regains softness, she doesn’t look like she was before with the rest of the church people.
All color disappeared from the young lady’s face and her sapphire blue eyes seemed to go blank after hearing the fate of her worship tell her that her faith was wrong.
′′ Your faith lies with me because it is the only thing you know, the pain in your past and the salvation that the church gave you to make your faith strong but also naive, I do not despise your adoration or loyalty young lady; on the contrary, I admire how grateful you are. ′′ This time even a little bit of kindness makes its way to Katya’s voice and expression.
The girl now just seemed completely confused by the intentions of the archangel who seemed to play on her emotions. Katya seemed to be able to feel the confusion of the young woman, so she reached out her hand and gently caressed the golden curls of the young lady.
′′ I do not want or deserve your faith young lady, but I still appreciate it; I will give you a small reward, not for your adoration but merely because it comes from my heart to bless a soul as pure as yours. ′′ Katya says calmly.
Seeing that the young woman had mostly calmed down, Katya used her fingertips to grasp the young woman’s chin and make her look into her eyes. I can only curse the fact that her next words were just whispers that I couldn’t hear.
(Unknown POV)
As I looked at the suns that seemed to inhabit the eyes of the archangel Katya, I heard her soft voice somehow whisper as if she was right in my ear.
′′ Let me give you a prophecy young lady: Times of loss and pain come before you, you will lose everything, those in whom you believed will betray you and you will see your nation fall; You must ignore my warnings to save as many as you can, for that is who you are. But who you are will cease to be when you are a victim of your faith, this world will no longer have a place for you and no one in this world can save you from yourself. ′′
Dark and painful were the words that came from Katya’s lips, I did not understand what point there was in telling me all this when she knew that even after being aware of the prophecy I would still end miserably, but I didn’t contradict her. . . If the dark times are coming, then I have to help my people; I will use my last breath to protect the innocent as I was once protected.
′′ Do not draw your conclusions, young lady, my prophecy is not over′′
Katya pulled me out of my thoughts and I could only wait for her to finish saying the prophecy to decide what to do.
′′ You will lose your place in this world and when the moment arrives only then someone from another world will take you out of the darkness, only a being that does not belong to this world that has rejected you, he will extend a hand to help you and fight in your name. It will take you with him beyond any frontier you can imagine, he will show worlds bigger and more beautiful than this world is; with it, you will find what you always looked for even if you did not know you were looking for it. You will put your faith in him and he will never fail you, you will adore him as you adored the celestials because he will be everything to you and he will adore you in equal measure even if there is more in his world than just you. ”
When I felt the archangel’s melodious voice stop, I cast the only doubt I had at the time.
′′ How will I know who he is? ′′ I said with a little tremble in my voice.
′′ You will know it when you see it dear, for you will know it when the corrupt steel of the church is diverted away from your heart by his sword; only then will you know. For now, just continues doing what your heart tells you, young lady, just have faith, and when the moment comes when you feel death coming for you just say the following words out loud “Whatever it takes.” ′′
