When we aren’t fighting demons
physically, we’re fighting them mentally or spiritually. It’s said that the
most important battle is fought inside because God is on our side. It is our
choice if we give in to sin or continue to serve faithfully. It’s always been
this way even before the end. We don’t think about its importance since our
lives are in danger, but our souls are in danger as well, which is more
important. There haven’t been as many attacks or ambushes. Instead, everyone is
on edge including the people we find. The things we used to have in the past
that made life easier and more comfortable are gone now along with the things
we took pleasure in. It’s hard for a lot of people to get over it especially
for those who worked and had the most. Everyone has their own vices and attachments
to get over. It’s not an easy process for anyone.
So far, there have been several
fights that have broken out within the group while others have deserted us. The
impact of these events was kept to a minimum, but tensions might boil over
soon. Nope. They’re boiling over right now. More fights have broken out after a
long argument. I send my Sparrows to break up the fight, but they just end up
getting in it as well. Even the priests are losing themselves.
I order everyone else to calm down
and pray for everyone so that the fighting stops. The mages start a calming spell
along with an exorcising spell to speed things up, but it’s going to take a while because of the number of people and the mages being affected too. I have my own
troubles right now as well. It’s not as much trouble for me since I’m used to
it. Some of the other people are used to it as well. Even Donna and Lilia are
managing to stay sane. The same cannot be said for Bonito who is trying her
best to control herself. Since she’s the one who helps me command my forces,
she tries to set an example by controlling herself, but it’s hard for her to do
so with how much squirming around she’s doing.
Huh? My vision and head get blurrier
by the second. It’s like someone is stabbing two knives into the sides of my
head. Everyone is trying to hold it together while praying. I can’t…concentrate…on…anything…No!
I must concentrate on praying. I can’t let this pressure get to me. I have to
hold out as long as I need to no matter how long that might be. It is the will
of God that we are tested, and I gladly accept it. It doesn’t matter how much suffering
I need to go through. I value what God wants me to do over what I want even if
I’m suffering for it. You hear that demons? I won’t give in!
What’s going on now? Everything is
getting clearer. The mages didn’t complete their spell and prayers were stopped
in their track. Everyone has stopped fighting and calmed down. Along with the feeling
in my head, the pressure that was crushing me from the inside is gone. We must’ve
passed the test the God made for us or rather, I hope we all passed the test.
