The Saints

CHAPTER 6: Saints....

               Weeks has past since the day Lilith showed up, and I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask Father Earl, like: How is he so powerful, where does all those powers come from and most importantly, what's a saint?.

Of course having questions and getting answers are two different things entirely. I tried to get some time with Father but as you already know he's a busy man, so I couldn't really have a one on one talk with him.

So I decided I'm going to bring up the topic at dinner with everyone present. If I can't get a one on one time with the old man that's fine but this questions I have, they need answers.

So at dinner that evening, I was at the table with out anyone yelling at me to get my sorry ass down.

"Well this is a new one" Jared said as he adjusted the chair to take his seat.

"Since when does Levi comes down for dinner without a fuss" Jared added as he nudged my shoulder with his.

"Leave the young man alone.." Father said.

       We eat in utter silence, getting a glimpse at each other from time to time, and because i was facing the old man my view wasn't really that great. Wished I was sitting facing Claire then that would be wonderful.

"What's a Saint?" I asked out of the blue breaking the silence.

"Thought you read books and lores on things like that" Father said as he gobbled down more soup down his throat.

"I have but I found zero data on anything about saints".

"So if you don't mind enlightening me... What's a saint?" I asked once again eager to get an answer.

"Well, to begin with" father earl began dropping his spoon on the table and began stroking his chin.

"You're asking the wrong question.. It's less of a "What" and more of a "Who".." Father continued.

"You see in the beginning Gid created Heaven and Earth... Then he made other creatures you see today and lastly he made man"

"When God made man he gave us control over every living thing in Heaven and on Earth, Well until Adam and Eve ate the fruit of life that is"

"So where is this going?" I inquired curiously.

"Let me finish boy... So you because we've lost that right, we get attacked and tempted by demons, gods,goddesses and every other creatures"

"But then, there are some Priest, Nuns, Sisters that seized back that right to dominate over every living thing and they are called "SAINTS".

"Hmm.. Interesting" said jared.

"So how do you seize such right?" Claire raised a question.

"What a nice question" Father Earl said.

"Well you see to gain that, uhh...you'll have to uhh..." Father Earl said as he cleared his throat.

"You'll have to with a battle"

"Against who?" Claire inquired.

"An Archangel" Father Earls said.

"A what!!!???" Jared let out coughing out the soup he had in his mouth.

"So you're a Saint?." I asked Old man Earl.

"Yup.. I duked it out with the Archangel Uriel" Earl said taping his chest like a proud father.

"Uriel?.... You mean the Uriel that kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden after the fall of man" I asked.

"Yeah... And I have to tell you that flaming sword he carries around is no joke. Almost lost an arm to that annoying thing" Father said caressing his arm like it's a new born baby.

"That been said the first Saint ever to walk the Earth was Jacob. He battled the Archangel Samael. Till dawn." Father Earl added.

"Samael wasn't that the Angel that slaughtered Levi's parent" Jared said as he looked at Levi slightly worried.

"Yeah he's the same angel. Well before he was considered a fallen angel he was known to be a messenger of God. Then he got corrupted and was kicked out of the gates of Heaven. He and Lucifer are the only known fallen Archangels to man" Father lectured.

"So if I kill Samael I'll become a Saint as well?" I asked father.

"Ohh.. Hold your horses son" Father Earl said.

"You see, Archangels are a whole different from normal angels, they can't be killed by man. You can only chain and cast Samael into the bottomless pit just like God did to Lucifer" He added.

"If Saints are so great why haven't they showed up in the lore ore something?" Claire questioned.

"Have you ever seen an Archangel?" Father asked.

"Of course not" Claire replied raising an eyebrow.

"You see, you'll have better luck find a unicorn than an Archangel... You don't find them they come to you" Father said as he stood up from his seat.

"My soup's cold now so am done eating.... Am going to bed now."

"Yeah Goodnight Father"

"Good night"

"Good night old man"

We all wished him good night as he walked to his room.

Throughout that night as I laid on my bed, all I could think about as I tried to get some sleep was how strong and reliable saints are.

I had strayed through my though my thoughts like Alice In the wonderland. And like how death comes and take away souls that had meet their end, sleep had come to take away my consciousness, and like a little child I dozed off.
