THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL

"NOW THESE THREE REMAIN: FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE. BUT THE

GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE."

1 CORINTHIANS 13:13

THIS STORY BEGINS IN AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN VILLAGE, SET ALONG THE NILE RIVER. IT WAS A TRANQUIL AND PEACEFUL PLACE, GOVERNED BY KING AND QUEEN NUBIAS. THE PEOPLE OF THEIR VILLAGE LOVED THEM BECAUSE THEY GOVERNED THE LAND WITH WISDOM AND COMPASSION. THEIR ECONOMY FLOURISHED DURING THEIR REIGN AND THE PEOPLE ENJOYED FRUITFUL AND PROSPEROUS LIFESTYLES. THERE WAS ONE PROBLEM THOUGH THAT TROUBLED THE ENTIRE VILLAGE. THERE WAS AN INHUMAN-LIKE BEING ON THE LOOSE. HE HAD REPORTEDLY RAIDED NEARBY VILLAGES. THE EVOL IS WHAT THEY CALLED HIM. HE WAS AN ANCIENT EVIL SORCERER THAT MASTERED THE ABILITY TO STEAL THE TIME LIFE FORCE FROM HUMAN CREATURES AND TRANSFER THE POWER TO HIMSELF. HE WAS A HUGE BEING WITH A VERY POWERFUL PRESENCE. HE HAD LONG WHITE DREADLOCKS AND HIS EYES GLOWED GREEN, HE MOVED SWIFTLY AND POWERFULLY LIKE A LION. THE STOLEN LIFE FORCES ALLOWED HIS BODY TO REMAIN YOUNG AND STRONG, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD LIVED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. IT WAS FEARED THAT THE VILLAGE INHABITED BY KING AND QUEEN NUBIAS WOULD BE THE EVOL’S NEXT TARGET. IN SPITE OF THE DANGER THE PEOPLE CARRIED ON LIFE AS NORMAL. SUDDENLY IT HAPPENED. DURING AN OUTDOORS FEAST AND CELEBRATION HE CAME SWIFTLY AND FIERCELY ATTACKING EVERYONE. STEALING THEIR LIFE FORCES AS HE RAMPAGED THROUGH THE VILLAGE. THE EVOL WAS ESPECIALLY FOND OF CHILDREN BECAUSE THEIR LIFE FORCES WERE THE STRONGEST. HE WOULD OFTEN ROUND UP AND KIDNAP THE VILLAGE CHILDREN THAT HE WOULD RAID. HE WOULD THEN DRAIN THEIR LIFE FORCES INTO AN OBJECT THE EVOL REFERRED TO AS A SPHERIT. IT WAS A SPHERE THAT HELD STOLEN SPIRITS. THE VILLAGERS WERE PEACEFUL PEOPLE WITH VERY FEW WEAPONS IF ANY TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. IN A VALIANT EFFORT TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE, KING NUBIAS OFFERED HIMSELF AS A SACRIFICE IN RETURNS FOR THE SAFETY OF HIS PEOPLE. INSTEAD OF AGREEING THE EVOL ATTACKED THE KING AND BEGAN TO DRAIN HIS LIFE FORCES. SEEING HER HUSBAND IN DANGER, QUEEN NUBIAS FLUNG HERSELF UNTO THE BACK OF THE EVOL OBLIVIOUS TO THE DANGER IMPOSED. IN DOING SO, SOME OF THE PRECIOUS STONES FROM HER
