2. Priesthood Leviticus 8-10, 16
Part 1: Fire Unauthorized
Moses has called us together before the tent of meeting. It is to do what Adonai has commanded to be done. Yet what that is, I still do not know.
By the time dusk fell, Rynere was exhausted. Despite all her protests, Tace wouldn't let them stop.
"If Matthan is this much of a threat we should have gotten rid of him when we had the chance," Kyndran grumbled.
"He's not," Tace said offhandedly.
"Then why can't we stop?" Rynere complained.
"Because we have another problem."
"What is it?"
"We're being followed by something else."
"Something?" Rynere nearly shrieked.
"You know," Tace turned around, "I'd really appreciate it if you didn't do that."
The wind did howl and cry
But a creature made of sand and stone stood
And Called with a human voice, "come back, come back"
not a man and yet with a mans form
the desert spirt set off to find....HER
for he was...in love and had felt the touch of destiny
The people he passed thought him a desert bandit
so they grew quiet when he passed and would not tell where she had gone
So threw the dunes he swept like a banshee
over hills and dales to find
her
I am the necklace
you never wear.
You stuff my golden chain
inside the darkness
of your drawer
and neglect to set my sapphire
close
to your neck
to gleam, to shine
in fulfilling light.
Okay so...the world outside my window is covered in ice. And the branches are coated. And it looks really slick. So I'm not chancing it. I mean, figure this: I go out, slip, go spiraling down a hill, go flying because I hit a trashcan, and land in a pond and the ice breaks and then I get soaked and I try to climb back up the hill but before I can make it I freeze in a solid block of ice and a trash car comes and picks me up and takes me to Antartica, where I stay frozen for three thousand years until an alien uncovers me.
So, not very likely...but still...
"Kyndran would have come a bit earlier with his bow and arrow and the outcome would have remained the same."
"That's it?"
Tace shrugged.
"That's it. It's just a twist. The outcome doesn't change."
Rynere opened her mouth, then shut it again. Tace grinned.
"Since there don't appear to be any questions, shall we start?"
Voices fill her mind, so she writes.
She feels as if her head will explode, so she writes.
The words just won’t form in her mouth, so she writes.
Moving the pencil is as natural as breathing, so she writes.
Her notebooks have too many blank pages, so she writes.
The story hasn’t been told yet, so she writes.
Her friends are waiting, breath bated, so she writes.
She can’t find a talent she likes more or criticism she accepts better, so she writes.
