The Past demon
Chapter 10: Defending the heart
Fully Restored, Estallious rose again, to find no one around, he went about to seek Gabriel who tended to him, whilst he was injured and hurt. A message was left for him, that Estallious was to leave immediately to look after Gaz Whilst Visoth, had to go off to an important battle that was brewing near by.Almost immediately Estallious was sucked into a room, the light was gone. Yet Estallious did not know where he was. The walls were white, and there were beeping boxes and other huge boxes with tubes coming out of it attaching themselves to humans. What was stranger were these metal supported soft topped things that people were laying on. Thinking to Himself Estallious said, "This place seems tremendously familiar, could it be? am I in a man made image of Heaven's room to recovery?!"
But there was one important factor that was missing that made it not like the one Estallious was in, it was the fact that the atmosphere of complete serenity and peace was missing, instead anguish mixed in with sadness and greed was in the air. With pockets of hope lingering around here and there.
*Sniff sniff* "Argh, what is this?" Estallious thought to himself.
"Why am I feeling this sadness in my heart? it's as if something precious of mine is losing it's will to exist.."
Turning Estallious found out the source of his sad heart, taken a back, he saw Gaz on his knees crying for a girl that broke his "purity seal". Being quick to judge Estallious became mixed with emotions, thinking, "How could Gaz run back to the one that opened the doors of darkness to him? what was it? how can this be?"
Fearing for the safety of Gaz Estallious tried to reconnect with him again as he did the time he saw Lizzy hurt. "Gaz come on, we can't stay with her any longer, she's no good to you, she took your purity away" Estallious shouted. Again he tried to talk to Gaz "We need to get away from here, it's an evil place, it's not heaven they have blinded you it's a fake image of heaven!".. yet again to no avail, Gaz just sat there motionless with tears continuously streaming down his cheeks.
"You know ..." Gaz Said,
"It's not her fault..."
Estallious amazed thinking that Gaz heard him tried to speak to him again "None sense Gaz it totally ...!"
"It's mine!" Gaz interrupted.
Struck with amazement Estallious decided to hear him out.
"I should have been more careful, I should have watched my tolerance level. But instead I decided to be a fool! full of ego! and came to do something so stupid... So hurtful!" Gaz said in a weak and teary voice.
Estallious sat next to Gaz and put his arm around him, "Here, here buddy... We all make mistakes, heck I made the worste one in heaven! I turned against the creator thinking I was strong enough, when I knew I shouldn't have and was too weak to prevail."
"Whose there?" Gaz exclaimed as he looked around. A sense of comfort has settled in Gaz's heart, he could not comprehend it, a little confused but pleased with this comfort, he asked, "Is that you God? I'm sorry... Forgive me please... and.. Thank you" like a the eye of an hurricane, there was a smile on Gaz's face.
"Gaz.. it's me.." Estallious whispered. With that Estallious realised that Gaz couldn't hear him, filled with a little disapointment he looked to the ceiling of the place he was in, there, a twinkle appeared, like a light far in the night sky...
"I understand..' He whispered to himself,
"there's still hope, and I am glad my creator.."

Isaiah 66:9 (NCV)
9 In the same way I will not cause pain
without allowing something new to be born," says the Lord.
"If I cause you the pain,
I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation," says your God.
