Episode 28: the life

Pov: Saki Fidelong

I live and I die

I served and rebelled

I am from you and forever so

I'm in farvahar.

It is said that the tree of life is the first place humans accept their destiny and fate. Before opening up life in the mortal realm, they waited for the moment to be summoned by the Light through the role of the second guard. The birth, soul mate, and death of every human being has been prepared to the smallest part. Nothing is missed.

I got a pretty heavy mandate but it has to be run with a big heart. Giving happiness to all beings is the duty of the second guard. Happiness is a lamp for a calm heart. The most astute advisor prevents misguided. Gratitude for all the gifts that have been long received during life.

The tree of life, a tree that grows the seed of the universe. In addition to the pen to write destiny and the ocean as its ink, the tree of life drops its leaves to write the destiny of all beings. Leaves that cannot be damaged or damaged other than the true Light itself. The leaves then fell to the earth and became a life permit through birth.

Almost some beliefs believe in the land and are the embodiment of early life on earth. From the sahara to the steppes, trees have been part of the history of human civilization. Symbolization of the primary need as well as protection from Mara threatening danger.

My task must be completed before the leaves fall off. Before the leaves fell, there was already something written as I had received the note from the Light through Namus. Their fate will be in a moment. Sometimes I am still curious about the fate of someone who is given distress throughout life when he is good, and why there is someone who is bad behavior but always gets what he wants.

Namus, I remember a message from Uncle Khidr about the secret of destiny. We will not know the end of the story if we do not follow the series of stories in a sequence. Maybe we judge that unfair, but there is an important intent that makes it eternal. A person's destiny has been written since the beginning of creation, the very secret writing gives the end of a person's story based on the actions he did during life. Death cannot be changed, but its history can.

Uncle Khidr gave an example of my life, which was destroyed as a prostitute, is now a helper. The road I had to walk was heartbreaking indeed, but I realized why I had to go through it. The tribulation we pass is like a repaired path to the destination of the journey, a beach of life that holds a pearl called the essence of life.

Destiny is made to teach everyone an important lesson about how valuable a journey and process can be. Destiny is the sign that guides all beings, the ultimate goal that will be met through obstacles and trials. That goal cannot be changed, but obstacles can still be changed by all beings who want to try to change.

So there's an old saying about destiny "To know someone's good, look at him leaving this world." A pretty deep suggestion in my opinion. As I thought, why are good people always miserable? Before we judge our lives, it would be good to learn the journey of those who have died through the way he prepared for his death. Intelligent humans are those who prepare for death as best they can.

Preparing for death does not mean preparing a lavish and festive funeral, it is not what matters from preparing for death. The best preparation for death is what we can give to others. Whether it is a good deed while still breathing or what we have given to those in need.

I only give a stake in the form of destiny, but to be visited and missed by loved ones must go through the struggle. It is the same as carving reliefs on hard rock. It is difficult but long-lasting and is remembered all the time. That is the importance of destiny for all beings.

The wind of life has blown away the leaves. Leaves that are still green will still accompany the tree and those that have dried will soon receive the sign of destiny. I wrote down everything I had to write. Nothing is reduced or exceeded in the least.

As the second guard, the task of keeping the life of all beings is on my shoulders. With the pen of Khidr's uncle and the book of Namus, I wrote and examined what was contained in the manifest of life. One stroke of the pen has moved another thousand pens in giving the sign of destiny.

As the pen wrote, my phone rang. Apparently there was a call from Namus, I think it was a collision once he contacted me while doing the job. I immediately picked up the call and answered it.

"Hello Saki!"

"Hello, what kind of wind made you call me all of a sudden?"

"I'm sorry to call you so suddenly, there's something important I want to tell you about the third guard."

"What's important about the third guard?"

"Yes, and this has something to do with you, too."

"With me too? What's the matter Namus?"

"I feel like you're going to be visited by a guest from the past."

"Guests from the past? What does Namus mean?"

"It is likely that you will be approached by the deceiver."

"Azhl!"

"Maybe you've met his wings when you first joined."

"You're right, the wings alone give me goosebumps. Though it's been a long time that wings hang in the pulpit!"

"Saki, sorry before."

"Actually before they become guards, they must first be tested whether he is worthy or not."

"Then?"

"The one who passed the test was the first guard, Arafis."

"Well, from here on out I'm starting to understand. So what's the problem?"

"The problem is the person who will test you. The one who tested you is the one who was cursed all his life in the dark."

"WHAT??" I replied with a surprised tone.

"I'm sorry, but that's how it works. Although he was no longer the leader of the guards, but the ability in testing was still possessed by him. And he swore he would test all humans. It just so happens you two are still technically human."

"So, what should we do?"

"There is no other way but to face it. I'm sure you've faced trials in the human realm, you're more resilient to reproaches and insults. But I'm worried about our new guard. He still needs help so as not to get lost like himself."

"If that's the case, why did you let him test it?"

"For he had something in common with the third guard. He's the smartest and everything and the third guard are the same, it's just that he hasn't noticed yet."

"Will he be led astray in your opinion?"

"It may be, therefore, that Khidr sent him to Hallaj to strengthen his resolve. But I'm still worried because of their similarity."

"Isn't there Arafis?"

"I know, but Arafis is still not enough to confront him. They were both from hard lives, but Arafis still held the ethics of fighting. Whereas he didn't, he could justify any means to win."

"That's so bad Namus!"

"So I asked you to help Arafis and Elvy. He needs moral help and experience from both of you."

"Well then Namus, I'll help Elvy because she has something in common with me, too."

"It seems you've found your love back Saki."

"You're right, seeing it makes me remember myself in the past. We are both afflicted by the cruelty of the savage man who always on behalf of God in committing sins."

"But don't blame God for your suffering. Because through that Azazil will enter into you and himself."

"I understand Namus, thank you for reminding me."

"Remember, take the road like Farvahar!"

"Winged sun!"

"Find light as strong as wings, live and die with the Light."

"I'll remember it's Namus, but I'll finish my job and rush after him."

"Well then, I'll call you another time."

"Okay Namus, thanks for the info."

"Together"

Namus ended his phone, apparently that's what was about to be delivered. Azazil saw a gap to test us who still carry the human body in this realm. Hearing the horror he brought, it made me have to be extra vigilant especially for Elvy who just arrived here.
