‘TONGUE,

Russell whispered compassionately, Look up and see the stars Emmanuel, and you will stand before a gift, a tiny gift. This gift is for you.

Emmanuel waved his hand in front of Russell’s eyes with concern, look, Russell, life, your life, and walked away.

Russell looked up and replied to Emmanuel as he was walking away, our lives, our lives will be lived.

Mel and Gibson rode in on their horses, slowly got off them, and then walked up to Russell’s side.

Russell, where ever you go, we will be there with you. We see, that you seek knowledge and change. Gibson, and I, wish to be by your side, and to help you in any way that we can, you were young and now your getting older and a lot more wiser to the mind then anyone else, Mel spoke up first and expressed.

Russell gazed over at Mel and Gibson, and spoke thoughtfully, You two, will be welcome to stand with me and to be at my side. I was small and young the last time I wrote. Now, in this time and in this place, all of us will do what is essential, to help bring all the people to a better understanding, and to a better way of life. The children in this world are lost. With your help, with our help together, this world will become a better place to live on. Now let’s go and begin our expedition.

Mel and Gibson grabbed their belongings and followed Russell into a small village. As Russell and his men was walking through the village. A wild man named Daniel, that everybody in the village was scared of, came running out from the trees, holding a spear and ready to throw it.

Daniel yelled out unemotionally, I am going to kill you! and threw the spear, so hard and so fast at Russell, that the spear flew past Russell’s face and landed in the heart of a wicked man called Gruber.

You will never hurt another person! Daniel replied crazily.

Gruber was a man that was a powerful leader, an associate to the courts of law, and he to lived in the same village. A leader that helped, to destroy and kill, so many poor people, and those who were lacking ability to function in lawful manners, in his own village and other villages through out the lands.

I killed him because, he and his father were planning to kill you and your family. So that his family would be more well-liked and live richer, and because of the poor people, he helped to devastate, also he helped to destroy my brother’s life. And I vowed to discredit his. Daniel said aggressively.

Russell looked at Daniel and then tears came falling out of his eyes and down to his cheek. Russell replied, "my name is Russell and I am from the village of Heaven and so are my men. I know who you are and your intentions are worthy, yet you are wrong on your choices. Killing is not the answer or the solution to the past.

Russell assertively expressed with concern, Daniel, you killed the man, you did not kill what he has done, or what he had planned. Come with me, and we will heal this man, so please, pull the spear from out of him quickly.

No! He must stay dead, yelled Daniel with a spiteful voice.

Daniel! Russell yelled aggressively louder, Yes, he has done wrong, and has sinned against many, but it is not by your hand that he must die from, so please, please, pull the spear out of him!

Daniel pulled the spear out, and Russell knelt down over Gruber, until the tears fell out on top of him, and Russell cried until at last, Gruber slowly opened his eyes.

Russell stood up, looked into Daniel’s eyes, and replied out loud with a harsh voice, You shall never kill again! And you will follow me to another land.

Mel and Gibson walked up to Daniel side, and then Gibson put his arms around Daniel, and replied cautiously, Please Daniel, trust in him, and follow us, you have nothing here in this village, but sorrow and shame. Come with us and help us, to help Russell, change the world.

You are right, Gibson, I will go with you, but I do not comprehend, Daniel answered unselfishly.

Russell answered prudently with a little grin on his face, you three will understand, try to understand what Daniel was killing, was not the man. But, what he was doing, and what was told and taught to him. Remember you three, the spirit is stronger then the flesh. Now, let us go, and please, tell no one, of what you just saw happened.

Russell and his men walked until it became night, and then the men laid down their blankets and slept until the crack of dawn.

Mel and Gibson woke up in the early hours, and hiked out to track for some food, and to get some firewood.

Daniel woke up after hearing the other guys going threw the bushes making all kinds of noise so he walked to the spring to get some freshwater, when in the distance, he heard a faint sound, coming from up above the spring. Daniel walked to the sound of a voice moaning, when he looked over the edge, he saw some quicksand, and in the quicksand, he saw a woman just about to go under.

Russell! Russell! Hurry! Come here, Daniel yelled out loud with panic in his voice.

Daniel ran to the sound of the voice, and laid down on his stomach and stretched his arm out, and with the same hand, he grabbed the woman by her hair and pulled.

Russell ran up and grabbed Daniel by his legs and pulled Daniel back, as far as he could go.

Pull a little more! and I will have her out, yelled Daniel thoughtlessly.

Just then, Mel and Gibson, came walking through the forest and both of them saw what was happening, and ran to help the whole lot of them.

Mel yelled out to Daniel harshly, Let go of her hair! and I will grab onto her arm with a firm grip!

Daniel screamed cautiously, If I let her go! she will probably sink!

No she won’t! Gibson answered supportively, We are here to help you.

Ok, answered Daniel, and he let go of her, and took a strong hold on to her other arm.

Russell reached out his hand and took hold of her other arm and pulled, until the woman slowly came out of the quicksand and was safely back on the hard ground.

The woman replied prudently, thank you, thank you for saving me, and my life from that horrible quicksand.

She was a short lady with long brown hair with beautiful brown eyes and very pretty in her face, and she spoke with a soft but a firm voice.

My name is Ercelia, and I am from the village of Felix. I was on my way for water, and I must have gotten off the path. The birds were singing aloud and a rabbit was running from something. So I must have slipped and rolled into the quicksand.

Are you all right lady? asked Gibson with concern in his voice.

Ercelia answered kindheartedly, Yes, I am all right, but I believe I will have a headache for a while and I just might have to cut my hair.

Russell, Mel and Gibson, all started to laugh together out loud.

What’s so funny? Daniel asked and replied with concern, She could have died.

Daniel, you almost pulled out all of her hair, Russell smiled then looked at Daniel recklessly.

Daniel thought for a moment, and then he began to laugh out aloud, as he was looking at Ercelia brushing out the sand from her hair.

Ercelia softly responded, I must get the water and return to my home. I have a child that is very sick and children to feed. I must hurry and go to them.

We will join you and see that you get home safely. Russell spoke up and replied, Mel, you and Daniel, go and get our things. Gibson, help this woman to get the freshwater that she needs, and together we will walk Ercelia, to her village.

Ercelia walked up to Russell side and asked him, What village are you and your men from?

I am from the village of Heaven, and Mel and Gibson are from the same place, as I am. The man that saved you, Daniel. He is from the village of despair, Russell answered diplomatically.

Daniel is a good man. In adding up together most of the people in this world that I’ve meet, if it was not for this good man. I surely would of died, Ercelia expressed and asked with concern, now can we all go, so I can return to my village and children?

Russell spoke with a gentle voice, The men are coming and they will follow behind us, so let’s go because the temperature is starting to get a little cold out here, so we will walk you home where we all can get warm, okay.

Ercelia and Russell was walking ahead of the men, so Russell turned to look at Ercelia and responded with a strong ability to speak, When I saw you in the quicksand. My heart went out to you, and yet, I also saw the entire world sinking slowly, and some one pulling the world back to where it belongs.

Ercelia replied with concern, I saw my whole world pass by, and by the grace of God. I was saved. God must have seen my terror, and sent an angel, to help me out of a dying situation. Here is my village, and there is my home. I must go in, because my child is sick with a fever.

Russell held up his hand and responded supportively, Stop! Your child is in good health.

Ercelia opened the door, and she saw her child playing with some left over food. That was left on the kitchen table, from this mornings meal.

How did you know, my child was in good health? Ercelia softly asked.

Russell smiled to his self and answered with compassion, Ercelia, all the child needed, was some sleep, and a little food.

Ercelia looked Russell in his eyes and replied with concern in her voice, You look so young. On the other hand, you carry your self as if you are, old. In spite of this, God must of blessed you, with another shadow, because the reflection of the sunlight, follows you. And while we are on the subject, trust me when I say that, the sunlight really does follow you, when you are passing by the water. You can see it plainly following you. When you look for it. I watched it, as we were walking away from the stream. Will you and your men, like to come into my house, and rest for awhile?

Russell replied and asked nicely, no, but maybe later, if that’s all right with you and your family?

"Sure, you and your men, will always be welcome
