confusedjester 819 Share Posted January 3, 2025 ======================================================================== Issued on 13th of Owyn's Flame, 2010 ======================================================================== Three years ago I was presented with a trial by GOD. The fingers of my right hand were torn from my body, viciously, by the evil SIN of the undead. I was distraught, ashamed, and utterly saddened by my loss of digits. This was the start of my very first trial. I know myself. I am not patient by any means, for it is a flaw of my being, as well as a childish ailment. Immediately, I searched for solutions and cures to my problem, but after discussion with Atticus Keen, and GOD, I was informed that this was, in truth, a TRIAL, one I must brave through with the Virtue of Patience. I was offered metal fingers by ELVES, and replacements by NORNS… temptations, all placed in my way to truly test my will and my Faith.. I graciously turned them down. For years I had lived without the use of my mitt, yet I stayed true, and a vassal of goodness. I spent hours making wooden Lorraines to offer as alms. Many times I even forgot about my hand. I paid it little mind, for after these years, I realized I had put my full faith unto GOD, that I would be rewarded for my trial, eventually, someday. However, not everyday was easy. Some days I grew frustrated, annoyed, and sad, that simple tasks were made harder, and longer, for I only had one hand to complete them. The trial was burdensome. But my Faith stayed true. Then, as the sun set ‘pon the beautiful wedding of Arya Aliston and Ser Meili Altwegg, was I blessed by GOD. “BY GOD!!! IT IS AN AENGUL!” Cried Ser Arkel Wulf Vanfer Tor from his seat in the pew! The Bishop Alaric paused amidst his officiating, peering up at the rafters of Temple Gottenthal. “What the?!” The aforementioned couple who stood, hand in hand at the altar looked to the skies. I stared up in wonder. Amazement- and for once.. Silence. “HARK!” Boomed the Angel! The Church, the ceremony, fell deadly quiet. “MATRIMONY… The ritual of Horen and Julia…” Spake the Angel, softly so, but his words echoed the halls of the sacred temple. He carried a glowing spear. I had never seen something so beautiful. “In the name of the LORD do I provide benediction upon this union, and too do I grace the proper Canonists of GOD!” And then, the Angel swept the air, his bright spear above us! My hand. The wretched thing I had once been ashamed of, but patient as I had been. I was blessed. My hand was bright. I looked down to it, to see that my fingers over the white hills of my knuckles were starting to regrow! I stared in utter mystification, shock, overcome by the MIRACLE of GOD! Marked by the Grace of the Heavens, ivory dancing around each digit, flesh and bone reforming what had been lost. Awe, and wonder. My voice drew whispers, my jaw fell agape. It was wonderful. It was the most beautiful thing in the world. “My fingers!- My fingers are back!” I remember exclaiming aloud, wanting the world to know of my blessing! The Angel then rose to the rafters, in a blinding light! And then… It was gone. My patience had been rewarded by GOD, seen by Him. It was breathtaking. I had touched the Heavens and the arcane, and never will I forget such an incredible, extraordinary encounter. I pen this to share my story, my experience of a MIRACLE, for which I shall ever be grateful. GOD bless.

ChillDemonLad 170 Share Posted January 3, 2025 A singular priest wept, for he knew what he had missed in favor of visiting his papej's event. He was a fool to try and do something for fun, something that was not immediately holy. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plausifraunz 379 Share Posted January 3, 2025 Her marriage had truly been blessed, so stunned, neither she nor her now-husband could comprehend. "May GOD guide us, as he does so now," She commented quietly, as she began to reflect on the gifts GOD brought that day. Her union was blessed by GOD, as were the denizens who were among her and Meili's union. The Baroness began working diligently on the gift she had been given by Atticus. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
