The ground disappears under our feet. The angels act quickly and hold the humans. Even so, a powerful force pushes them towards the abysm at speed. In a question of seconds, they are falling into a dark space, cold and deserted. What to do? Where were they going to end? At that moment, everyone’s hope and faith were shaken, for they were dying without being rescued.

The time passes, and they continue falling. In a time, impossible to measure such is their predicament, they can see the end: On the right side, a cross and on the left, immense darkness, in the centre, Sheol, full of tormented evil spirits. The more they approach the elements, the shock of the opposing forces was enormous as five years ago, at the first adventure of the series “The seer”.

Just before they were going to be smashed on the ground, the son of God, inspired by the holy spirit starts reciting the following prayer: “Father, I call upon you to act. We are in deep contrition, misery and danger and we have no one to resort to. Remember us now just as you have remembered and took pity of Noah and the slave Israelites. I beg for your love, understanding and for the mercies of the blessed cross that has freed us from sin and open the doors to eternal life. So be it.”

About a millimetre from falling, the attraction force ceased. The angels then flipped their wings and started flying again. They began the return way at the speed of light. In a short time, they come out of the abysm and it disappears without trace. As by magic, they find themselves at the ascent in “s” of Caraíbas, right at the beginning. Rafaela did not hold back:

— My God! What was that?

— It was an illusion caused by a powerful malign mind. If it weren’t for the seer’s prayer, we would be lost – Explained Rafael.

— How come, Aldivan? Where from comes the inspiration? (Rafaela Ferreira)

— I am going to explain. Through the communion phenomenon, I and Yahweh are interlinked in such a way that my words become his. There is no difference. (Aldivan)

— Incredible! I have never heard anything like that. Despite appearing to be blasphemy, I believe it. (Rafaela)

— How nice friend, you are beginning to learn the greatness of this heart that one day will conquer the world. (Renato)

— I don’t exist without him (Uriel)

—Thank you everyone and specially my friend archangel Uriel Ikiriri. At the most difficult moments of my life, he has been a tool of the Almighty who has supported and liberated me. I don’t have any more words to say. I am the only human to know his guardian angel, to know his own future and to penetrate the human soul. I am blessed. (The seer)

— I would like to be like you. (Said Rafaela in a melancholic tone)

— Don’t want to be. Every human being is beautiful for his own characteristics. God loves you as you are and is only waiting for a yes to act in your life. (The seer)

— I understood it. Pardon me. (Rafaela)

— Don’t worry. I understand you. (The son of God)

— Thank you. (Rafaela)

— Let’s continue, then. There is still a long way to go. (Aldivan)

The group obeyed. The walk continued. Walking for a few metres, they turn the bend, and went ahead. On the way, they meet two private cars leaving the village, some horse riders and a bicycle rider. As they were good mannered and polite, they greeted them and continue walking forwards. A short distance ahead, the first houses appear, and the ascent becomes flat. The seer stops, and so do the others, and then he takes advantage to speak to his adventure companions:

— Do you see all this around? It is splendid terrain with its peculiar traits, this is a little of the outback caatinga. Every day for a year, I sweated walking this way. However, this did not make me less worthy. On the contrary, I felt honoured to perform my role as administrative assistant of the school secretary.

— I have never worked. But I understand what you say. It is indeed good to be useful, what I am not now. (Rafaela)

— Don’t talk like that. You have got a beautiful family that loves you and the spiritual father too. Now, you have got us as friends. Do you see? You are not useless. You are important for those around you. (Aldivan)

— Your words… make me emotional… Bua, Bua, Bua…. (Rafaela Ferreira, sobbing)

Everyone became emotional. Instinctively, they approach and embrace her. They put so much emphasis in it that Rafaela felt suffocated. For the first time, in a long time, she felt completely loved, what a holy medicine for her depression problem.

When she was calmer, they separate again, and the talk continued for a bit longer:

— This is how it should be! We are a great team with a common objective: Unravel the complex meanders of the exciting destiny. We are with you, seer! (Renato)

— Thank you. Can I rely on you as well, my dear archangels? (Aldivan)

— Always! Your father Yahweh leads us at every moment. It is his will. (Rafael)

— In the darkest night, when everyone says no, when there will be no way out, I will rescue you. At that time, I will show a lucid, clear and workable way. From then on, happiness will reign in your life for I am Yahweh, the true God. Word of Yahweh. (Uriel)

— That has already happened to me. Touching. (The seer)

— That is the way I feel. Count on me for anything. (Uriel)

— Thank you. Count on me too. Aldivan)

— Can we continue? Time presses it is almost night time. (Pointed out Rafael)

— Yes, let’s go. (The seer)

The walk restarts. The approximately five hundred metres separating them from the village are quickly covered at a steady pace. They walk along the first streets and turn right, walk another fifty metres ahead and reach a residence chalet style, 6x13 m, with an area in front and at the side a side garage, masonry smooth plastered and painted white walls, with the number thirty-five written on a wooden plaque. When they get near the door, they knock and wait until someone answers. It is a blonde young woman, medium stature, rosy cheeks, called Jackeline. The same one from the previous adventure, “The Encounter of Two Worlds”. She speaks.

— Is that you, seer? How long!

— Yes. I am at my fifth saga of the series the seer. And you, how have you been? (The son of God)

— Well. Who are these people with you? (Jackeline)

— They are my friends, Rafael, Uriel and Rafaela Ferreira. Renato, you already know him. (Aldivan)

— Yes, of course. Pleased to meet you, guys. (Jackeline)

— Pleasure. (The rest, simultaneously)

— Excuse my bad manners, please come-in. (Jackeline)

— Thank you. (The seer)

Together with the group, Jackeline goes inside and as her parents were travelling she acts as hostess. They settle on the seven-seater settee in the lounge.

It was exactly 18H00 and she took advantage of the pause to invite them.

— What about going to the kitchen? You must be hungry.

— A little. What do you think, guys? (The son of God)

— I agree it. (Renato)

— Me too. (Rafaela)

— Let’s go. (Rafael)

— Yes. (Uriel)

Invitation accepted, they left the lounge, go along the corridor and reach the kitchen. They sit around the main table, while Jackeline goes to prepare tea and biscuits for a snack. Would have offered a dinner but there was no time and she wasn’t expecting visitors. When everything is ready, she serves them and then the seer takes the chance to speak.

— Look, I want to ask a favour of you, Jack. Could you settle us for the night? It is already late, and we don’t have any acquaintances here.

— Don’t worry. I have got available beds and mattresses for everyone. It will be a pleasure —She said.

—Thank you. Are you still working as a health carer? (Aldivan)

— Yes, and you in your great adventure as a writer? (Jackeline)

— Yes. I love my work. People like Rafaela inspire me to continue. (Aldivan)

— What is the matter with you, my dear? (Jackeline)

— I feel a bit bored and sad about some things. (Rafaela)

— I understand it. You are depressed. You have made an excellent choice by choosing to accompany him. Aldivan has got words of life. (Jackeline)

— And you, Renato, how are you doing? You have grown. (Jackeline)

— Well. This year, I finish the medical studies and I wish to continue my studies at the faculty. I have already had a few flirts. rsrs. —Said the youngster.

—Kkk (Laughing). Very good! And you, Aldivan? Have you found love yet? (Jackeline)

— Not yet, but I am looking for it. Who knows if one day maybe I can find it. However, besides that, I am an accomplished and happy man in my career and work. (Aldivan)

— It is true. If there is a person who is happy and deserving it, that being is called Aldivan Teixeira Torres, and I don’t say that because he is my protegee. My judgement is impartial. (Uriel Ikiriri)

— Aldivan is the rose among the thorns. Among the humans, there is no one like him. His greatness is so big that God regards him as his son. (Rafael)

— I am proud of being his adventure partner. (Renato)

— And I of having you as a friend. (Jackeline)

— Ditto. (Rafaela)

— Thank you all. You, together with the whole mankind, are important to me despite sometimes not deserving it! (The son of God)

Everyone approaches Aldivan and embrace him. At that magic moment, they felt like true children of God, loved and protected. The embrace last sufficient time for the human warm to be felt. After, they break up the embrace and continue to have the tea and biscuits.

When they finish, they leave the kitchen, return to the lounge and engage in other activities. Among them, watching TV, listen to good music on the radio and chat. This keeps them entertained until bedtime, being at exactly 22H00. Good night everyone.
