After a few more days we arrived by at Windmer’s Farm, use gaining more converts without much incident or obstruction. As we all began to approach the house, I saw Windmer and the others come out, them speaking and pointing to us. David seeing his Wife and Children goes and runs forward, them also running as they embrace. Evalyn looks at them and smiles, turning to me and speaking.
“That’ll be us in a few months.”
I smile back and give a side hug, speaking.
“An’ that day nu can come soon enough.”
Now after a moment I was in hearing range of Windmer, him shouting out at me with a shocked but mostly happy expression.
“Quite the company you got there!”
I smile and raise my Scythe slightly up, speaking back.
"Wet’s just say auwucuw mobes awound… Fwuffy nee’ to speak wiff ‘ou fo’ a moment, somethin’ impowtant. "
With that me and him went inside, the others staying out to control the crowd.
Inside the house I explained everything that had happened up to that point, good and bad. Me getting captured and escaping with some new companions, me arriving to HitchVin and meeting Jericho and the Shrines, and than finally my meeting with the High Priest. Windmer seemed quite upset when I talked about the meeting, him speaking to me once I finished.
“That can’t be! Yularen had always showed kindness to all peoples, for him to do something so…”
I speak.
“He couwd be possessed fo’ aww Auwucuw knew, buh fwuffy nu did sense it. Maybe that encountah had just weft him in shock, it aww su sudden.”
finally I got to the part I was dreading, about the food.
“Auwucuw wiww be wetuwnin’ to dah pwace whewe Dah One spoke to me, to wwite dah waws of dah new pwomise. Duwin’ that time howebah I won’t be abwe to muwtipwy nummies fo’ dah peopwe out dewe… Windmah wiww 'ou feed them when am gone?”
Windmer went silent for a moment wiping his brow, I add on.
“Dah one has stated to me that dis famiwy wiww be bwessed fo’ genewations. A famiwy buiwt of dah faiff in Dah One an’ not matewiaw possessions.”
Windmer sighs and speaks, nodding slowly.
“Fine… I have faith in The One and faith in his second Prophet.”
We hug and I leave, heading to the cave to fulfill my purpose.
[Pov Saul, 10 days later]
I wake up to the sun rising of my face, the sound of Muddy coming into my room and speaking.
“Hewwo Sauw ‘ou awake!? we nee’ 'ou down hewe!”
I rise slowly out of my bed, feeling a bit frustrated as I didn’t sleep that well.
“What is it!? Ugh, feel like…”
Muddy interrupts as he finishes.
“It’s dah siwo, think dah doow am jammed.”
I speak.
“Can’t you ask David or Windmer?”
Muddy speaks.
“Dewe busy…”
I sigh and reluctantly get up, speaking.
“I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
Making my way outside I was greeted by about a hundred makeshift tents covering the farm, you could nearly smell it from the house. I speak to Muddy as we walk.
“Any sightings of Aurucul yet?”
He speaks.
“Nope, fwuffy am stiww in dewe.”
Hearing this I felt myself a bit more concerned, 10 days alone with almost no supplies… No, I had to keep my faith.
After doing a pathetically easy fix to the silo I and Muddy went to go join the members of my family and the members of Aurucul’s Inner circle, them all being located next to the house in the largest tent. Once inside I saw everyone mostly to themselves, with only Windmer noticing and speaking to me, sounding slightly frustrated.
“Someone’s finally awake… You mind helping me with these potato’s?”
I speak.
“Potato’s?”
Windmer speaks.
“Yes Potato’s! Now come and help me before I launch em at you for sleeping so late!”
I go and help, Muddy heading into the back. As I begin peeling I speak, other concerns on my mind.
“How’s Evalyn doing?”
Windmer speaks.
“She woke up throwing up, and seemed rather nauseated for a bit after that. I had Julia and the children look after her, poor girl.”
There was a bit of silence for a second than I speak, my voice low.
“Ma would know what to do, wish she was-”
Windmer interrupts him not liking it when any of us brought her up, it sort of a unwritten rule.
“Yeah…”
As we continued peeling silently for the next half hour, peoples coming in and out of the tent as we did. It was at that moment when David had come in on break did he speak, looking over at Muddy with a grin and a wondering tone.
“Hey Muddy, I was wondering somethin?”
Muddy who was jotting something down speaks, him looking up at him.
“What?”
David asks away.
“Is it true that deep in the forests of Madanak, you can still find those Nuuk fellas. Y’know the ones spoken about long ago.”
Muddy looks as though he had been asked that question a million times, seeming instantly exhausted. He speaks.
“Why do peopwe keep askin’ me dis!? Nu dewe am nu an’ hasn’t been Nuuk’s wibin’ in Madanak fo’ awmost 100 yeaws!”
Muddy sighs and that seems like the end, but he continues.
“An’ nu we nu wibe in mud huts, ow wowship twees, ow wawk awound compwetewy naked. Muddy nu know why non Madanakians think dis way, New Cowossus itself has a popuwation neawin’ awmost 100 thousand! ugh…”
I speak, finishing up the potato.
“Ya’ll continue fighting for all I care, I’m going to get some fresh air.”
David waves and the others say nothing, I head out.
It seemed to be approaching midday, it now quite obviously becoming fall. Most of the trees around us had begun to change color, and air although still warm was much cooler. I walk throughout the tents and see Samuel and Lip, them having a conversation as they pass.
“No Samuel I saw what I saw, some people are leaving late in the day going somewhere! I think we need to-”
they had not seen me in front and nearly crashed into me, both looking up as Samuel speaks.
“Oh Sauw sowwy about that, gud to see ‘ou! How’s youw scwoww going?
I speak, confused about what Lip said.
“Fine I guess. What is going on with people leaving at the end of the day, what do you mean by-”
Almost out of nowhere large groups of people began moving at once towards the forest, them all shouting and speaking. Samuel speaks, just as confused as I was.
"What am goin’ on, did someone do something!”
Lip speaks, turning towards the crowd and seeing what was coming.
“Saul Samuel, look!”
We both turn and see what was coming out of the forest. Aurucul with his right hoove hold his Scythe and left holding 5 medium sized scrolls, the laws of the New Promise had been delivered. Fin
Thank you for reading my story! I hope to have the next part done in a few days to a week, and of course constructive criticism is appreciated. May you have a nice day!
