Sermon Two | Text

[inheavenslight]

I have been here for a week, and so far I have learned the following things:

1.) Nothing here makes sense.
2.) Animals are not supposed to talk, and they do. I think I prefer birds when they didn't have conversations outside my window.
3.) Everyone seems to carry their witchbook around, people should lock them up someplace.
4.) There are a lot of strange folks here with odd ways.
5.) What is there to do besides sit around?
6.) Why am I even writing this in here? Note to self: invest in a journal.

Does it truly matter? They are a form of communication, and thus far they seem to be quite helpful.

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

We live in a small area, we can talk face to face, or deliver letters.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

What if you were in trouble and could not do those things?

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

Luckily, Abel is always near by.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

...Abel? [ Wasn't that the name of Isaac's Innocent Devil? Surely he didn't just give it away to this man? ]

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

Yes, Abel. He has been with me for nearly four years. His duty is to help me. [Luckily, its another Abel...]

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

Oh. [ Well, she won't question it. Maybe she'll ask Isaac later or something, but for now... ] Still... I believe these journals can come of great use.

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

I worry there is something dark about them.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

Dark, you say? Why do you think that?

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

Because the Deity sure doesn't make magic books, Ms?

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

Deity. You speak of God, then? Oh... forgive me. I am Julia Laforeze.

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

Not the God most people here seem to think of. A pleasure to meet you Ms. Julia. I am The Judge.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

That sounds interesting. Would you mind elaborating a little? It is a pleasure to meet you as well.

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

No one has quite explained 'God' to me in a context I can understand. But the Deity is the Earth, in which all life comes.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

I see. That does indeed make sense, I suppose.

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

And things like magic, in my world, are made by demonics- which is made by human sin- as a taunt to the Deity.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

But what if every person who used magic was not completely bad? How can you be so sure that these people or... creatures could truly be called 'demonics'?

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

To get the ability in my world, you either are a demonic or made a deal with one.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

Ah... [ She's going to make a mental note to NEVER tell him that she's a witch. EVER. In her world, she'd been chased for YEARS for her practice, despite the fact she used it for good and not evil. She didn't need to have the same treatment here. ]

What is the punishment, then, for one who practices magic?

[ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

Re-education and a punishment. The Church usually decides the punishment without me.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

Re-education... tell me, does the punishment sometimes include public execution?

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

Usually only for the Big Three Nos.

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

...What are the 'Big Three Nos'? Forgive me for all of my questions, I am merely curious.

Re: [ Voice ]

[inheavenslight]

It is alright, and it is Murder, Kidnapping and Rape. [At least he can say it to a fellow adult, it was awkward when he realize he almost had to explain the last one.]

[ Voice ]

[smackmywitchup]

...I can see why those would be worthy of death.
