AS A GOOD SOLDIER
🦄
It is a hard lot, so I was told, the Lifestyle of a Soldier. Some of us were made Eunuchs, others mentally challenged to lose the desire for Women altogether. This was perhaps the Greatest Temptation in all Creation. Once you've conquered that, it was Considered, you were impervious to the Darts of Satan.
So I went through my Purifico, my Ascension, and thankfully I willfully Submitted to the Call with my Vessels intact. (It is an excruciating thing to be subjected otherwise, though more assured.) And, they led me to the Gallows of the Dead, as all Trainees would be.
The Barren Wasteland of the Dead, Gehenna. Yes, Golgotha.
There were many saints and believers here, but also ex-soldiers and deserters. We were told that to Betray the Essenes AT ANY LEVEL was to suffer this Great Fate.
I cringed.
It was a Morose Twisted thing!
The Body was subjected to Whipping and Contorting in ways must Inhuman and Inhumanely. Sometimes the Bodies would be Crucified backwards, with the Eyes, Nose and Tongue pierced on Short Stakes. The Torso at times Stretched and Broken to lie across several stakes, Legs wide apart and Arms wide open.
Some Crucified upside down. Whatever the Executioner's Pleasure; even Parsed still living, the Head a Crying Sight begging for a sure Death.
And I was Called to help Bury these Dead Souls, both to this World and to the Next. For as I had said before, once Killed here, God Heard not ANY cry. Even, His own Angels.
The Graves were many, and Shallow. For Rome had become accustomed to the Killing all who would Rise Up against them. Also the Sanhedrin, our own Leaders, were lost to the Foray. They too buried Martyrs who called out the treasonous actions against their own people.
How could the Jews have turned on us, their own Brethren!?
But we were long suffering, and patient. Waiting on the coming of our Messiah. And I had heard of one Man, a Great Prophet, who could do Mighty Miracles.
Even Raising the Dead.
But I'm jumping ahead here. Let me go back to the Beginning.
The First time that I Talked to Simon (also called Peter) and my Spiritual Brother, Barabbas.
Now Simon was a Zealot, and Killing in the Name of God became his Natural calling. To say any word against Heaven in his Presence was to be put to the Block. His Sword was ALWAYS bloody, at times still dripping upon the next Beheading. And Barabbas was no better.
He was a Thief, yes.
But a Greater Soldier in Palestine, there was not!
He put the Testament of Our Prophet Samson to Shame, amassing hundreds of Roman Soldiers Deaths. It is said he once slaughtered rows of Centurions, and fell Legions. Of course this is inflated, but by his charge, we believed he was our Messiah.
Then they captured him, and put him too to the Stake. His Eyes were gouged out, and his Tongue severed. We saw this with our own eyes, and wept. It was said at the Time he was the only Survivor of the Stakes, living out the rest of his Days in the Dungeons of the Roman Guard.
Until later under God's Grace, he was released. The Poor Defeated remains of a man who had Lost his way; eating Pulse and Grasses the rest of his Free Days.
And then as I said, there was Simon, later called Peter.
But yea, now my Prayers call me Forth. I shall retire and return to the Quill, at another Time.
