Song: Made A Way – Travis Greene
SPHO**
We'd left the following morning for my house. Soso had woken up but as himself. The demon was still asleep. I didn't know how but I had to keep a close eye on him because he fell right asleep when we arrived. Sibu had come to fetch the kids taking them to Lakhe. Lukhanyo was convinced that the man Junior drew was dead and I don't understand why Queen Mother would make me go look for a dead man. I can't raise him from the dead like Kadir. Why would I do that? It is against my very beliefs. You don't disturb sleeping spirits. You don't recreate them. This was very frustrating and I needed to have a serious prayer session. Soso was using the spare bedroom that belonged to Sandile. Lukhanyo is in the kitchen making lunch for us when someone knocks on the door. Luks: "Come in." Soma walks in with a Zo. She was Soso's wife. I walk to the kitchen. Spho: "Hello." Soma: "I know you said we should stay away but..." he gave me a bag. Soma: "These are his things." Spho: "Thank you. I promise Soso will be okay in a few days." Zo: "I need you to explain exactly what is happening to my husband and why he must be here." Zoleka asks in a shaky voice. Spho: "He came in contact with a powerful demon. It seems it might fight off more power because it tries to attack Soma. That means it will kill him and get stronger. I need him away from people that it can attach to. I need to destroy it before it does worse." Zo: "He will be okay? You can take it out of him right?" Spho: "Yes. He will be okay, I will call you daily and you can message me anytime." Zo: "Thank you." she walked out, holding back tears. Soma: "He will live, right?" I nodded. Spho: "Yes. He will." The hair on my arms lifted. I looked behind me at the passageway. I gently pushed Soma out. Soso walked out the passage, hands in pockets. His eyes pure black. Soso: "Big brother." his voice raspy and deep. Luks: "Fuck." he hissed. Soso: "Putting me in deep sleep was very rude Spho. I was only playing." do not engage. Do not respond. I watched his every move. Soso: "This house is very suffocating. Here's an idea, let me out." he looked at Lukhanyo. Luks: "Spho." He's not the target. This demon was powerful. He knew how to distract using emotion. I stood by Soma still shielding him. Soso: "Queen, I would love to reside in your murderous boyfriend. Are you allowing me?" his eyes locked with mine. Black smoke whispered around the house. Hisses in my ear, cold fog clouding my vision. I focused on him. Soso: "No more sleeping Spho. I will swallow your entire home with darkness so fast you can't breathe." he stepped nearer Lukhanyo. Spho: "Where do you come from?" Soso: "Oh you know this. You're trying to distract me. Am I getting hotter Spho? Are you seeing me closer to consuming your murderous boyfriend that will sweep through the city with nothing but terror?" I stepped toward him, he jumped for Soma. I grabbed him, smashing him down. He pushed me off and I held on bringing him down with the same force he used. I rolled him over blowing in his ear. He growled, his vision dizzy. Just as he was incapacitated, I spell bound him. Spho: "Vincula argentea, vincula noctis; Ferro alligatus, luce ligatus. His verbis alligaris; In silentio tenuit, in silentio submersus est." (Chains of silver, chains of night; Bound by iron, bound by light. By these words, you are bound; in silence held, in stillness drowned.) he growled, burning to a silent gasp. I picked him up dragging him back to the bedroom where I locked him in. Spho: "Both of you need to leave." I returned to the kitchen. Luks: "Spho I can't leave you alone with a demon." Spho: "You have to. I've chained him for now but I have to work fast to remove it and destroy it while he's still weak. Please Lukhanyo. He's targeting Soma and will not stop. It's his duplicate. Once yours arrives, he too will be a target to get you. He will be much stronger if he's in two of the same soul. We escaped his target on Lubby by pure luck." he swallowed, nodding. Luks: "Is there someone that can help you?" Graham would be that someone but he lied to me. Spho: "No but I can do it myself." he kissed my forehead and walked out with Soma, they drove off. I sighed. The doors and windows shut closed. Spho: "Expergiscere." (Wake up.) the bedroom door creaked open. "Finally. A fair fight. Would've wished for my reward at arm's length but that's okay, I have his blood." he growled. Spho: "This is not a fair fight." I chuckled. Spho: "You can acknowledge that you know me. What you don't know are my capabilities. I am only a vessel. Do you know what I will do to you?" Soso: "Enlighten me." Spho: "Burn." Soso: "Come on now, queen. You can do better than that." Spho: "No I can't. So we'll wait." he sighed. Immediately his body struck in fire internally. Spho: "With the power given only by His angels. I command you to burn. May your spirit shrivel with the sound of my voice. May you tear with force and cease to exist. Vacate this body that does not belong to you!!" Soso: "Never!!!" he roared. Spho: "Very well. I command all forces to tear through spirit and take hold. May God the Almighty, the Holy Spirit cease this soul tearing it from the dark spirit. May every dark thought, dark memory, dark action be cleansed with the Holy blood of the Son of our Father. I praise you God!! We look to You for help and redemption!! May every soul that weeps find comfort in Your everlasting Word! May Your Will in our lives give us joy and peace. May Your Will pour success in our very beings. May Your Will give us the wisdom to pass Your Word safely to those that need us. Lord, tear through the darkness that resides in us. Peel off the dirt that holds on to our skin causing us not to heal. May Your Will heal us father. Set alight what is meant to destroy us, in the name of our Almighty. For every No, may the Yes that locates us be big and bold. May every door that shuts, cause the one that opens to be vast, full of life and all the goodness of our Saviour Jesus Christ. May we call unto your name every moment we feel fear, anxiety and pain. Make it better Father, we call Your name Almighty GOD!!!! We call Your name our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST!!! Hear our cries and help us tear away the spirit of darkness that consumes us daily!! Let it be gone!! Strip it bare from our souls!! Hold it hostage as it leaves our bodies and Make. It. Burn!!!" Soso fell on the ground. His stomach caved in. Spho: "Release him Almighty God!!! Let his soul free from darkness. Remove the dark spirit in his body!! Detach the darkness that is holding on!!" the spirit released pouring out from him in smoke. A million screams sounded all around me. Spho: "We trust Your guidance Lord, we trust Your protection. We trust that You destroy all that breaks our spirit, all that disrupts our spirit. You remove it, Almighty Father. May You continue to protect Sonwabise's soul, his spirit rid of the demon and rests in your comfort as your soldier. I have seen Your glory first hand. Now we're standing here, only because you made a way. Cause you move mountains, you move mountains, you move mountains, you move mountains. You cause walls to fall. You cause walls to fall. You cause walls. You cause chains to break. You cause chains to break. Mountains are moving, strongholds are breaking." I sang. "Dismantle and tear through the dark spirit you hold hostage. Reduce it to dust as it returns to nothing. Burn!!!" the smoke dissolved on the floor in a pile of ash. Soso coughed choking. I went to his side. Spho: "There there." Soso: "Spho." he cried. I rubbed his chest. Spho: "Its gone. You're free. You're safe." ...
