Chapter 17

The medics put Selah in her mothers bed they put her to sleep the healers checked her it is still inside no exit wound. The medics and healers looked worried as the children offered up prayer as the chanters followed behind the with ancient vocal offerings. The air was still as they begged the banshee gods for her life. She lost a lot of blood they whispered.

Dawoo sat on the mountain in the realm of the Gods. He listened to prayer and ancestral chanting standing they were begging for someones life. Then he heard the voice of children offering up the name thier Queen. Dawoo heard something from the Banshee risen dimension. He stood from his throne looking to the other Gods who had worry in their eyes. Selah must not die Dawoo she is teetering on the seesaw of life and death. Her spirit lingers heavy here because of you Dawoo. He glanced a sharp look to the Goddess of death. It is true the Spirit God agreed I feel he knocking at the mountain go down Dawoo and escort her back to her body she does not belong here what shall be done must be done young God.

Dawoo grabbed his braided wooden staff decorated with tiny skulls striking it three times on the charcoal floor beneath his feet. Dawoo was on the other side of the mountain wall the living side. Hundreds of spirits tarried waiting for thier people to hold a ceremony of death so they may be escorted into the risen realm the spiritual way. Selah was afraid she wrapped her mothers shawl tight on her body when the great mountain wall slid open. The sound of dragging rock filled the air as the dead got a glimpse of the realm they were promised to go if they lived righteously.

Dawoo stepped out everyone fell to thier faces except Selah. The other should saw him in Godly garb with eyes flaming fires his three hand a fused together with his pointer and thumb free. He was 8 feet tall and towered over them. Every knew he was the God of judgement the God of malice verses intent mistake verses purposely. Dawoo read the heart and detected lies it was he who decided if the God of spiritual escort carry you inside after your spiritual ceremony.

Selah looked upon him he looked like her beloved the man she so desperately fell in love with. Dawoo she ran to him holding him so tight what are you doing here Selah? Why are our peoples prayers filling the air of this realm with cries of despair and woe? Selah opened her shall blood poured from her wound they can't stop the blood Dawoo I think I died.

No, my love there is still time come with me he grabbed her hand Selah stopped staring back at the realm of the risen. I want to stay with you here Daewoo. My love it is not your time please Selah allow me to take you back. Selah refused to move. Dawoo fell on his knees I know you are afraid I do, I swear those responsible will pay for harming you young Queen. How will I seek revenge on your behalf if you and I are living in paradise? He flashed a reassuring comforting grin, please Selah trust your husband. Husband huh? Yes baby now please allow me passage to Banshee land. The lovers crossed a great dessert there were thousands of portals to other lands. How do you know which is to Banshee land? I sense it we are Gods we cannot make a mistake come my love. The couple walked through the portal leading to their dimension.

AHHHHHH! Selah popped up full of fever holding the bullet in her hand. She opened her hand the medics were shocked they took it from her when they opened her robe the wound was cauterized. Ah ah ahhh Selah breathed laboured blacking out once again. Look! The medics called to the healers. My God they said looking at the wound.

The seal of the Gods of the realm burned into her skin look the tree of everlasting life the river of glory and the three suns. The healers and medics knelt before her.
