Elias opened his eyes to an exorbitance of discomfort. He looked around and saw that the weeds were strapped around his ankles and wrists. He saw before him all who he thought loved him. They all had a angry look on their faces. He had always made these people laugh or smile. The things they had said to him echoed in his mind:

You are meant for greatness Elias......

I love you.....

I will die for you brother.....

I will never give up on you.....

'What the hell have I got myself into-' he thought. As his mouth shook in shock.

A familiar laughed filled his ears. He looked to see his mother crackling disturbingly.  Her eyes would move in opposite directions as her tongue would violently shake. No one seemed to care. It was as if they were possessed. But by what?

When she stopped laughing she said 'I cannot wait to see the look on your face when you see your fathers remains!'

Elias felt as if all power had left his body as his father’s remains were thrown on him. The blood splashed on him, the guts splatted on him, the bones bounced off of him, and the ultimate horror filled him.

'Wha-why are you all doing this? Haven't I dedicated my life to the safety of the Recthans?'

 A man yelled 'If you really cared about our safety then why were you reading a book from those humans?'

People then bombarded questions on Elias as the blood of his father entered in to his lips. He closed his eyes and thought 'this is a dream, there is no logical reason these people would have done this-'

'You are trying to get out of this nightmare Elias my s-'

'HE WAS YOUR LOVER YOUR PROTECTOR!! WHY WOULD YOU KILL THE ONE YOU HELD CLOSE?'

'You really think he loved me? Then why would he fill me with booze and fornication?'

'YOUUUU CHOSE TO DO THOSE THINGS! HE CANNOT CONTROL YOU YOU DAMNED WITCH!'

The weeds then tightened making Elias become unable to breath. His face turned dark pink.

'Now you listen to me son-you are going to eat and drink those remains or we will kill you.'

The weeds stopped tightening. Elias toke a deep breath as his eyes widened.

'You wouldn't (pant) kill (pant) your only son!'

'Do I really look like one to test?'

Elias did not answer.

'Now either you devour the remains on your own or we force you to.'

Tears dropped down Elias’s face.

'He would have wanted me to keep living,' Elias thought.

Elias looked in the eyes of his captor and said 'I can't do it sprawled over these weeds.'

The weeds released Elias. He landed on his feet making the guts drop before him.

'You have five minutes to lick, bite, and swallow all that is before you.'

Elias grabbed a big slob of guts as his mother yelled 'this is what happens when you go to God! He turns you into a monster. One that will do anything to stay alive.'

Elias was telling this to his people from the top of one of the floating homes. People were flying over, under, and around him utterly amazed by the speech.
