The Indemnity Part 1

Life & Death

Catastrophe awoke in a black mist. He felt that he was dead. But then he heard a voice echoing in the abyss.

"What you seek will make your future sink, what you own will make your future sown."

The voice echoed louder and faster every time he tried to ignore it.

'Damnit how the hell am I supposed to figure this riddle out?'

"The same way you figured out who I AM."

Catastroph wanted to ask his maker if he was dead but he knew that would be answered with a volley of echoes.

'Ok "what you seek will make your future sink", now what I have been seeking is freedom! Why would that make me sink? But wait that is not all I am seeking. I've been seeking love, but God has led me to love-damn the challenges of this Goddamn-'

Instantly he felt a wave of pain travel through his body.

"Do not blasphemy if you want to die a true Indemnity."

Catastroph now had no doubt that he would die after the solving of this riddle. But despite that he went on.

'Alright what in particular has made me sink? Not my weapons, not Elias-' it then hit him that he was away from his friend.

'Perhaps I will soon see him in heaven,' Cat said with glazed eyes and a smile.

'Ok Cat you’re getting of track now the thing that has made me fall so many times in battle is my pride! Yes! That's it! My pride in myself over God has made my fail oh so miserably! Which means-'

Tears flew out of Cats eyes.

''Do not cry my son, for though it may be your fault that doesn't mean I cannot forgive. I am your eternal father and no matter your mistake I will always love you."

Cat toke a deep breath.

'Thank you God. Even the length of the Universe will not measure up to your love......Ok so pride will destroy me I've got that covered. Now "what you own will make your future sown,' alright what do I own? I own armor, I own love, but it has to be something I haven't been paying attention to like my pride. Hmmmmmm, well most of the things I have ignored over the years I am not taking seriously. But what is the one thing I have intently ignored.'

Cat thought for a moment.

'The Bible! Of course! That is the one thing I need the most! That is the key to my future!'

Very good my son, you are free...

Catastroph closed his eyes as a bright white light engulfed him.

He then awoke as the white light slowly faded.
