The Word had said
he could not repay Him for healing the darkness. But maybe he could make up for
what he had done in his past. To love instead of kill. To protect instead of
destroy. To guard mankind. To become what his mother had given up for reasons
he did not know. Here was a chance to change his life. And become a Son of
Truth. But at what price? Could he do it? Caleb took a couple of breaths. Deep
down, he knew what he wanted. And that desire brought one word to his lips.
“Yes.”
“I will protect
you.”
Caleb could see she still didn’t trust him. And they were running out of time. The longer they were out here, the more chances someone would see or hear them. Tension worked its way across his shoulders. “Trust me,” he said with quiet urgency.
The woman glared at him, “After what you did to me in the Temanin camp? After you held me captive and tied up? After what I heard about you? You killed people! And I watched you each day walk out of the tend like you were possessed. Do you think I will trust a crazy man? I’ll never trust you!”
Exasperation began to replace the compassion he had felt moments before. “Word, I need Your help now.”

Genre: Fantasy/Allegory

Sacrifice, Salvation
Summary: You can’t deny it any longer.
Beings once thought completely extinct are far from gone. They are right here,
living among us. The good kinds and the bad kinds alike. Not everyone is opposed
to this though. The greedy know they can take advantage of having Eldarans in
the land. People who can heal on demand can make sure money for you.
Thankfully, there are those who neither fear nor wish to exploit the Eldarans,
recognizing the true battle is against the Shadonae. As they seek to rescue the
captives, many threats stand in their way, not the least of which is their own
doubts. The world is changing and only through faith in the Word can any of
them even hope to survive.
