It’s been a week since the encounter with that weird man who scared me a lot with his eyes, but I have not felt that anger and weird feeling since that day.

I been taking care of the store while dad and Runa stay at home, all day. Today by myself I managed to sale more than 8 vases, and I stared repairing those that are broken, I’m using the skills that Ramses taught me, so is a nice thing to do something useful that gives me extra shekels.

By the time I got home, I’m carrying a big bag of money, I feel so rich, I hope a nice pay, because I worked really hard today, but as soon as I got home, dad was still in the room with Runa, they sleep a lot lately, they hang all day in that room, I hope that they aren’t sick.

So, with dad and Runa trapped in the room, I needed to do something by myself to get distracted, so I started playing with clay, I’m not doing pottery as everybody else, I’m doing figures with this clay, once I did a hand, I didn’t like that hand because the nails were crocked, and it was something that I made myself, but well, I’m getting better day by day, and even If everyone in the workshop says that these things are only a waste of time and clay.

A week more passed by, dad is now out of the room, and making vases again, but something great happened, dad told me that I could exhibit my creations on the store, I’m really happy, because if I manage to sell them, I’m getting more money. Dad said that even if nobody buys them, at least they can make people look at our store, because of my models ( by the way, the best that I have done, are a tiger, a hand, and a small bird).

Today is also a happy day, because today someone bought the tiger that I made, it was a rich man, he bought it saying that it would be a nice gift for his grandson that loves cats, he gave me 20 shekels for it.

Days passed by, in a routine, I sell in the store in the morning, and work with my models in the workshop in the afternoon.

And as a new day came, we have a party again, dad said that it’s a party, because I’m getting a little brother, Runa is pregnant, so they told me that I will have to be more responsible, because now I will be a big brother.

The party again lasted till the next day, and everybody got drunk, I ate a lot again, but this time I was a bit careful, and didn’t end up puking.

This news made me very happy, because I have always been the small one, and from now on, I will be the big brother, and I can show things to my brother, and teach him ow to sell, and make things out of clay, and play, it’s going to be awesome, Creon, me and my little brother.

Wait, I need to give him a gift when he arrives, because I want him to be very very happy, but what can I do, that a small brother would like, I know, a dragon, I’ll make a dragon made of clay, with a saddle, so he can mount him, and very big and awesome.

So that way, my routine changed, in the mornings in the store, and then to make the parts of the dragon.

First, I started with the body of the dragon, is really hard, I took me almost five days to finish it, and I haven even started to put the scales, because dragons have scales, but now I have a weird body, with a long tail.

The problem was the head, I have so many designs in my head, maybe like a lizard head, or like a crocodile, or maybe with his tongue out, or spitting fire, there are a lot of designs, I have to make up my mind, so I decided to go out to vent my mind a bit.

I went outside and bought an apple, and clear my mind.

I came back, and put the head on a stand by. And started with scales, I made each scale apart, and was going to paste them on the body and head.

The next day I wake really early, because in the streets people were screaming, so I stand up, and went out, to see what was happening, I only manage to hear “run, the gods are coming”, “the gods are here”, “waaaa”

And there, half awake, I saw, fire on the houses, and blood, and from the sky a lot of lights fell, there were a lot of shiny colors, then I saw in the streets, some man, in black armors on golden chariots wreaking havoc, and destroying everything that was on their way.

This seemed so irreal, like a nightmare, in the store, Mrs. Filia, the old lady which I once sold some vases was being dragged between the leg’s pf some horses, who stomped her body, once and again, leaving her body in pieces and her blood everywhere. As I saw that scene, I feel so scared, terrorized, so I run down to the workshop, I left everything, and just run.

I knew that when I get in the workshop dad will be there, working, and dad is strong, he has that sword that he used on the weeding, but dad wasn’t there, there were only Mrs. Karma and Mr. Kashir kneeling down in front of an angel, that angel had 8 wings, and a bag in his hand, his eyes looked pure, and he had a smile that was so charming and beautiful. Mrs. Karma and Mr. Kashir were crying and saying “ lets pray to the lord because he is good”, “let’s give our lives to the lord”. Then the angel as if welcoming them, he spread his arms, and told them “You will serve the lord with all, so I will cleanse you dirty souls, and forgive you sins”, a bright light spread from the angel’s wings, and Mrs. Karma and Mr. Kashir became ethereal, I could see through them, and then they stood up and flew, flew to the angel. but they weren’t crying anymore, they were in pain, they were screaming, and in their pain I hear, “escape”, then the angel opened the bag that he had in his hand, and the couple flew directly to the bag, becoming smaller, and smaller, until they were no more, then the angel closed the bag again, They weird thing is that Mrs. Karma and Mr. Kashir were still kneeling in front of the angel (was everything an illusion, or what happened, I didn’t understand anything) then the angel said “ go, serve our lord with devotion, find more followers and bring them to me”, then the couple stand up, and with faces full of happiness, and death eyes, as if they had no more memories, and they were different people, they started running chanting “we are the flock of our lord, the flock obeys what the lord commands”

So I ran away, I couldn’t believe my eyes, everything was like a dream, as I was running though the market, and then one of those demons in a horse, like the one who killed Mrs.Filia saw me, and started following me, with his spear ready, to kill me, but then from the sky and angel descended, it had eight wings and a sword enveloped in fire, he came so fast, and directly to the demon’s neck, but the demon raised his shield, and deviated the sword strike, thus creating a space to attack the angel launching a trust with his spear directly to the angel’s body, but the angel turned in the air, only losing a pair of wings, and while the angel was preparing to use the force from that trust to give a hidden sword attack, the demon pushed him away with his shield.

Drago ran and ran, but when he arrived at the city’s doors he saw a man, on a golden chariot, he was thin, elegant, covered in vendages, but with a strange hat that had two big feathers, he had his arms crossed, and on one of them he had a kind of scepter, and on the other like a whip, and on his feet was a strange little black vase.

The man turned his head and saw me directly to my eyes, I couldn’t move, a felt as if my very soul was paralyzed, and I got the feeling that I must kneel before him, and worship him, then I felt my stomach getting hot, like if something was inside of me, and as if that man wanted it, and I couldn’t resist, I had to cut my stomach and give it to him, he was God, and I was nothing.
