God's vessel

"Whenever a man is ready to be the vessel of God the eyes of the archangels are always on him we pray that the sacrifice of our son Sunny will not be for vain but our efforts be blessed and filled with accomplishments as he enters this sacred cave. Amen." The head priest prayed and everyone chorused "amen" It's time he told me and I nodded.

At this time it seemed that the morale which the song has put in me had vanished like thin air and I shivered at the sight of the dark cave. Many vessels of my blood kicked against my going further and I couldn't move an inch.

"Do you no longer want to go?" the head priest asked with a lowered voice.

And a voice in my head began to speak.

"You are about to sacrifice your life for people who despised and maltreated you and now you're praised and hailed because they need you. Stay back and don't go it is your last chance to back out. Don't do this!" My whole body danced to the tune of that voice but in my soul I remembered clearly the last words of my father.

"A thousand mile which is trekked for humanity's betterment is worth it even if it leads towards the heat of a blast furnace." I got encouragement from this words of him and took a deep breath staring at the entrance of the cave where the caves name was clearly inscribed and in the same way I felt the eyes of about a thousand people who seriously wanted to know my next line of action.

Not only that I knew I had to make a decisionl also knew I had to decide quickly For the first time since when i left the temple I turned back and immediately my eyes met with the teary eyes of the woman who raised me from when my father returned from America with me and that of my siblings who grew up with me it was like they implored on me not to move forward but now I feel like I had gone too far to turn back. "If l died, I die and forever be

remembered as a hero" I told myself and got my mind set for the journey ahead.

I turned to the head priest who was waiting for a reply from me and replied.

l'm on my way in."

As I collected the oil with which I was supposed to awake the gargoyle it was sealed in a soda container but should transfer it later on into the cup of salvation which lay within the cave"

I walked to a point at the entrance where the youngest priests had set fire wood which is suitable to be used as torch on fire and after the flame has been blessed, picked up one the longest wood and step by step and I began to walk into the cave.

"Sunny!"I heard my mother scream but I couldn't look back at this point in my life.

The people began to sing another melodious song in my praises this one sounded more solemn and less danceable. It sounded as though they mourned and celebrated me together.

The more I moved further the more I could hear them less. I continued walking till l couldn't hear their voices any more
