The One Who Can Reacquire it #3
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
Introduction
Sometimes people and or gods who have neither be a part of our success nor contributed in any way to our progress may threaten us and we would be afraid, yield to them as servants which ought not to be.
This is an ancient narrative poetry to inject someone with boldness that a person who has not given you something cannot take it away from you.
Environment, they started developing some things which made
Them the leaders in the island. Later people start to join his group to
Learn the letters of the tablets. It was from this that they developed
Different things and would become center of attraction to other
Islands around. This man when he grew old hands over this to his
Children, and they also handed it over to their children and their children
To other generations after them. The island has become big and
Center of commerce for other islands. As the island increases in number
And other things, things changed, and the children of this man do not apply
Their hearts to the things of those founding gods of the island again
And the person among them who applied his heart to it who was made
The high priest became proud. Meanwhile, there was a woman who has
Been brought up in the ways of this gods and was faithful to the gods
She pleases the gods and her secret prayer has been that she would possess
Great power like the story she has heard about the gods and the ancient
Fathers who were high priests before to the gods of the island. Though she
Desires this, but she does not know if such could happen because no woman
Has ever possess such power and she was not of the clan of the high priest
Who are custodians of the tablets nor married to any of the family. She
Stops having negative thought that it would not be possible and develops
Positive thought in her that something suigeneris would happen to her
It may not be directly what she hopes for but something similar would
Likely come her way. For she has been taught that the gods will always
Bestow their power and might on those who are devoted to them. She stays
This and increased her devotion to the gods. One day when she was in
Her farm in the wilderness, something strange happened to her which
Resembles what the first high priest saw, and it was that he saw bright light
Shone on her from the firmament, she fell down at the sight of the
Brightness of the light and a voice associated with the light says look to
That tree, you will find a cloth on one of the branches, take the cloth, it
Is your cloth of power whenever you desire to perform something
Exceptional, something beyond the ordinary put the cloth on or touch
The cloth and exceptional things would be happening through you and
To you. As the voice ends, the light also disappears. She stood up
And takes the cloth and puts it at a corner in her room. She by the use
Of the cloth starts saving people in the island. One day she visited the
High Priest and during the course of their interaction told him what
Happened to her. The high priest knows that gods have visited her and
Have given her power and he becomes envious of her. Weeks later when
The woman was not around the man entered her house and took the
Cloth off. The woman cried and cried, told the high priest what happened
And he was sympathetic to her cause and promised to look into it. After
The woman left he started talking to people about what betide the woman
That it was a sad case for the island, for in the tablets it has been stated that
About 100 years after, gods promised to visit the island and would give
Someone a power, the power would not be like the one given the high
