Pastor Dale Benson Romans 5:1-5 We throw the word “hope” around a lot. Most often in scripture we find hope accompanied by other virtues or circumstances that shape it or give definition to it. * “Where then is my hope – who can see any hope for me?” – Job * “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper and not to harm you. Plans for a future and a hope.” – The Prophet Jeremiah Very often, hope gets overshadowed by the other virtues it gets grouped with. Take for example, Paul's letter to the church at Corinth: * “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love.” – The Apostle Paul Hope is rarely revealed in isolation. Often, hope brings along companions like faith, love, joy, patience, long suffering. For the Christian, hope should be compared more too a huge, solid, safe rock, rather than a vapor. Biblical Hope vs Western Hope (The Rock/Anchor vs Vapor) * In Greek Mythology: * Pandora brings with her a jar containing "burdensome toil and sickness that brings death to men,” diseases, and "a myriad other pain.” * Prometheus had – fearing further reprisals – warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept any gifts from Zeus. But Epimetheus did not listen; he accepted Pandora, who promptly scattered the contents of her jar. As a result, Hesiod tells us, “The earth and sea are full of evils.” One item, however, did not escape the jar: hope. * Only hope was left within her unbreakable house, she remained under the lip of the jar, and did not fly away. Before [she could], Pandora replaced the lid of the jar. This was the will of aegis-bearing Zeus the Cloud gatherer. * We are not told why hope remained in the jar. Was one of the other demons or spirits to be released on humanity? Was hope different than the others? Elipis does not maintain a very important role in Greek mythology and some even hold a negative view of her as Elpis is often simply translated “anticipation.” * We must remember, however that the Hebrew people from whom the Jews were descendants, did not view hope from the same perspective. * The Hebrew word Tikvah has the meaning of something strong and sure. Like we read earlier in Jeremiah: I know the plans I have for you. . . Not for evil, but for a future and a hope! Romans 5:1-5 (NLT) Hope that is seen is not hope. . . What Paul is basically saying here is you don't have to hope for something when it is already in your hand. Colossians 1:25-29 (NLT) Hope lights the path to the manger that reminds us of God's faithfulness in the past. Hope lights the path toward the return of Christ and our faithfulness in the future. “Christ in you” assures the reflection of that same hope through you to others in the present!

Greetings, listeners and subscribers! Very excitingly, this month's podcast episode has a new narrator (thanks, Dritëro!), since it has a different POV character to the rest of Season One! I won't spoil things by telling you who…This also wraps up the audio to Season One, so look out for a special treat coming soon—a free audiobook of the whole of Season One! Not to mention…the start of Season Two!Previously on Saga of the Jewels…The life of seventeen-year-old RYN, bookish son of a wealthy landowner, changes forever when his hometown is destroyed by the EMPIRE and everyone he has ever known is killed. He discovers that the Empire are seeking TWELVE PRIMEVAL JEWELS which grant the power to manipulate different elements, and that his father had been hiding the FIRE RUBY. Ryn sets out to take revenge on the Imperial General who killed his family and retrieve the Fire Ruby, and along the way meets NUTHEA the lightning-slinging princess, SAGAR the swaggering skypirate, ELRANN the tomboy engineer, CID the wizened old healer, and VISH the poppy-seed-addicted bounty hunter. Together the adventurers decide to find all of the Jewels in order to stop the EMPEROR from finding them first and taking over the world. The companions now find themselves recuperating in Nuthea's homeland, where after much travail they have thus far succeeded in retrieving the Fire Ruby, now borne by Ryn, and the Lightning Crystal, now borne by Nuthea…SEASON ONE EPISODE 21: EPILOGUE: BATTLE WITH MYSELFVish sat on the end of the bed and stared at the two black poppy seeds in his open palm.Why wasn't he just taking them? This was his chance. Dinner, which he grudgingly admitted to himself had been quite good—what he could taste of it, that is—with its roast pig and truffles and little birds marinated in wine, was over. Everyone else had retired to their chambers too. He had all night to enjoy the sweet delights of the not one, but two poppy seeds he had taken from Elpis before he killed her.A double hit. The hot fast rush as he first swallowed them, the building intensity in his head as his body processed them, the wave upon wave of pleasure that would gradually overwhelm his entire being, the warm afterglow he would eventually bathe in afterwards, the loosening, the calm, the relief. This was his chance.So why hadn't he taken them yet?The old man.Damn the old man! The old man had planted a different kind of seed in his mind. A different kind of seed that had slowly been growing, and had now produced a small shoot that was big enough to notice.If you space out the hits far enough and start to come off it, you can start to feel other things too. It is possible. I've seen others do it. I've helped others do it.The old man had planted the seed of the idea in Vish's mind that it was possible to come off the poppy and learn to enjoy other things again. But he didn't really want to do that, did he? The poppy was his life. The poppy was pure joy. The poppy was the greatest thing it was possible to experience. He didn't want to ‘come off' that. He didn't want to lose that. He didn't need to be ‘free' from that.But then why hadn't he taken them yet?He put the poppy seeds down on the nightstand next the bed, stood and began to pace the room. The floor was made of white marble shot through with wisps of black. The walls were of white stone, hung with tapestries and paintings that in the light from the candle on the nightstand he could see depicted long-haired Manolians winning battles over other nations, or successfully defending their realm from invaders. There was no god on any of them. A strange people, these warrior-women who made the men do all the women's work in their country, who worshiped a single invisible God who made everything, and who didn't acknowledge any of the other gods. Though not uniquely strange, he supposed. The old man worships this ‘One' as well, after all...The curtains were thick and made of purple velvet. Vish drew one back to look out of the window, but only found the blackness of the night beyond, except for his reflection which looked back at him, lit up in the candle glow. He pulled off his head scarf, revealing the branded ‘X' scar on his forehead, his thick, cropped black hair, the black discoloration around his mouth.Someone glancing briefly at him might be forgiven for thinking it was a beard. But if they looked for any length of time, they would see that, no, in fact it was the skin around his mouth and the lower part of his nose that had turned from barky tan to black–deep black, black as a poppy seed, black as the darkness of the night outside. It was almost as if the flesh itself had died, and indeed Vish had much reduced sensation in those places. Why did the poppy do that? Yes, it went into his body through his mouth, or sometimes crushed up through his nose, but then it went into his stomach or his brain. Vish supposed that the poppy was so powerful that it simply had this effect on his body at the point where it entered him. There were probably parts of his insides that were discoloured black and had reduced sensation as well. He had often wondered if it would eventually turn the whole of him black. Then he would truly have become a creature of darkness; his transformation into a Shadowfinger would truly be complete.He turned and looked back at the nightstand where the two poppy seeds lay, two inky dots staining the room, marring it. Wasn't there a life that he had once had before that Imperial agent had got him hooked on the poppy and recruited him for the Emperor's Hand? Of course, it had been a hard life, working as a personal assassin for the Leader of Aibar, and he hadn't known the poppy. But he had had a measure of freedom: the ability to do what he wanted between jobs, his own dwelling. He had been able to fully enjoy the taste of food, the touch of a woman, the feel of the breeze on his face…The poppy had taken all of that from him. It had enslaved him, made him only want it, only really able to feel it. The times in between the hits had just become times when he was waiting for his next hit, or doing something to enable himself to get his next hit. They had become times when he wasn't really alive or tuned into the world, just drifting or trudging through a pale grey landscape questing for the next poppy seed.That was no way to live, was it?Vish walked back over to the nightstand and picked up the poppy seeds. He was going to throw them away. He had lived in this bondage for too long.He walked back to the window and slid it up and open. He barely felt the chill of the night air on his body.He was going to throw them out of the window.Come on. Throw them out of the window.Only...only what had he gained by taking the poppy? What would he lose if he threw it away?The greatest pleasure he had ever felt. Pure, all-encompassing, ecstatic sensation washing over every inch of his body. Thrill. The ability to be completely focused on and lost in something that wasn't pain, self-hatred, regret and bitterness.How could he throw all that away?No, he wouldn't throw them away, but he would wait a while before he took them. That way he would be ‘spacing out' the hits a little more, and maybe he would be able to come off it eventually like the old man said.He shut the window, walked back to the nightstand and put the poppy seeds down on it.He sat on the bed and looked at them.The thing was, it had been a fair while since his last hit. Not since that Zerlanese village they had stopped in to rest and stock up on supplies.Just one now, and one later.He picked up one of the seeds and pinched it between his thumb and forefinger. A little black orb that encompassed a world of pleasure.But if he was going to have one hit now anyway, why not have two? A double hit. How often did he get the chance to have a double hit? Even the old man only gave him one poppy seed at a time. There was no way that he would ever give him two at once, especially with his talk of spacing out the hits and coming off them.Vish picked up both poppy seeds and chucked them into his mouth, swallowing them in one gulp.Pleasure exploded in his body, starting in his mouth, his head, and then spreading down through his neck, his chest, his arms, and the rest of him.He lay back on the bed, falling into the poppy trance.In his poppy trance, Vish got up off the bed.He looked around the bedchamber, working out where he was.Manolia, he surmised from the white marble. The home of the Crystal-keepers.He padded to the door of the chamber and turned the bronze knob gently till it clicked.He eased the door open slowly and silently.Only the glow from the wall-mounted lights lit the long corridor. The Shadowfinger looked both ways down it. Wall hangings, a wooden chair, a table with a vase atop it. Not just Manolia, but the palace in Orma, the capital. He had been here once before. He could not believe his good fortune.He shut the door quietly and made his way down the corridor, sticking to the candle-thrown shadows, as was his way, and taking care that his footsteps did not make a single sound on the carpets or marble floor, his poise and focus only enhanced by the poppy trance.Which chamber would hold what he was looking for?There were several other doors that led off from this corridor.None of these.He continued to make his way through the palace, allowing his intuitions to lead him to its most opulent area, a wide hallway bedecked with more huge versions of the ridiculous tapestries, up a flight of stairs, and…There.Vish drew back from the corridor into which he had just peered, concealing himself around the corner on the landing at the top of the steps.There were two guards posted outside of the door that he wanted, of course. The Manolains, though they were stupid, would have to be colossally stupid not to guard her. And it.He could use his talents in this state to slip past them, but they would be alerted by the sound of him opening and closing the door to the chamber.No matter. He knew what he needed to know now.Vish walked back to the first bedroom, keeping silence. As he did so he paid close, poppy-enhanced attention to the exact route he was taking, to the descent of the stairs, to the particular twist and turn of the corridors he took, to the number of steps.He shut the door to his room carefully behind him.He walked over to the window and slid it open. Cool night air blew in.He took off his black gloves and let them drop to the floor by the window.He reached into a pocket stitched into the inside of his robes in the left breast and drew out another pair of gloves, slipping these on instead.He held up his fingers and gave them a little wiggle. Ten small, vicious, gleaming points twinkled back at him in the moonlights from the tips of his fingers.He turned round and climbed out of the window backwards, shoving one clawed hand into the wall on the outside of the window.Vish smiled. The points on the end of his gloved fingers stuck fast in the stone of the Manolian palace, giving him a purchase.Slowly, carefully, the Shadowfinger made his way along the outside of the wall in the direction of the chamber he had identified, crawling across like an oversized, four-legged spider in the darkness. He drew on his considerable strength, honed by all those years of training, and held himself up with his arms alone as he crawled, though when he could find a ledge or a slant he allowed it to take his weight.He traversed a route along the walls to the chamber, making use of the mental map he had formed in his mind when he walked to and from it on the inside of the building.He arrived at the outside of the chamber.Not just one or two windows here but a whole wide wall of them, looking out on the courtyards below which were, thankfully, empty at this hour.Many windows, but they looked to have the same design as the one in his room, and would therefore open the same way. Vish supposed the Manolians had never counted on anyone being able to infiltrate the palace in this manner.He crept over to the nearest window, got level with it, and then took off one glove by pulling it off with his teeth as he hung from one hand.He pressed the palm of his now gloveless hand to the window, cold to the touch, and slid it silently up and open.He swung himself underneath a curtain into the chamber, crouching as he landed to take his weight and muffle any sound, and was still.Darkness cloaked the chamber. But darkness was Vish's element. His eyes grew accustomed to it even more quickly than usual, helped by the poppy, and he saw that the chamber held two large cupboards against the wall, a dressing table with mirror and chair, a nightstand, and bed.He remained crouching, listening.No sound came to break the stillness of the room, even to Vish's poppy-enhanced senses. Only, perhaps, if he strained his hearing to its limit, the rhythmic rises and falls of a sleeping breath.Good, the thought echoed in Vish's entranced mind.He took a step.The person in the bed grunted in their sleep, and Vish froze ice-still again for a moment, but then they rolled over and the rhythmic breathing resumed. Vish exhaled noiselessly.Vish moved to the bedside like a cat closing in on its prey.It was not on the nightstand.It hadn't been on the table either--Vish would have caught its glint from the candle-glow in the brief moment the door had been open.That must mean the girl in the bed—the princess of this land and the heir apparent, now that her mother had been disposed of—was wearing it.Fortunately, the girl was sleeping on her back, where she was breathing heavily. Quilts and blankets covered her up to her neck.Vish slipped his hand around the hem of the blanket, paused, then ever so carefully folded it back, making no sound.A chain. The girl was indeed sleeping with the crystal in its setting in the pendant about her neck.Unfortunately, she was also clasping the Jewel tight in one fist.What to do?Vish put his finger underneath the girl's left ear and tickled it very gently.When the girl did not respond, he tickled it slightly less gently.The girl grumbled in her sleep and let go of what she was holding to itch her ear, then let her hand lie flat on her pillow. The rhythmic breathing resumed again.There it was. A pendant and, set into it, a crystal which even now glowed faintly with the silent crackle of pent-up lightning.Vish's mouth made a smile underneath his face covering. Too easy.The Shadowfinger reached inside the fold of his uniform to another of its many inner pockets, the one sewn into the right breast, and found there a small implement which he retrieved, and a small hessian bag.He reached over the girl with his gloved hand and used the implement, a small steel rod that came to a thin sharp line at a right angle at its end, like a miniature pick, to scrape the crystal slowly once, twice, thrice.The girl stirred and murmured, and Vish stayed still again a moment, but then her sleep-breathing restarted.He held up the implement, and when he was satisfied that it had enough minute glittering crystal scrapings on it, he deposited them carefully in his bag.The Shadowfinger left the room by the way he had come in.

The General's gleeful laughter filled the hall.Vorr stepped around from behind the Queen's throne, big and black-armoured and red-haired, unable to contain his mirth.Ryn's blood ran cold. “Mother!” Nuthea cried at the top of her voice, and shoved past the two Manolian guards, shooting up the steps of the dais to kneel next to the fallen Queen. “Cid! Heal her!” “Not so easily done!” Vorr laughed. “You are quite surrounded!” On the balcony level that ringed the hall above them, soldier after black-armoured soldier stood side by side, each with a crossbow levelled at the party. They must have been hiding behind the guard rail when the party had entered the hall. Ryn looked back at the dais. A deep red puddle seeped out from underneath the Queen where she lay on her front. Nuthea knelt with her hands thrown over her mother's head, her face buried somewhere in the Queen's shoulder as she sobbed uncontrollably. In between sobs, she whimpered, “Mother! I'm so sorry! I'm so so sorry! Please! Cid! Please heal her! Someone heal her!” Ryn stood watching all this like a statue, numbing cold spreading in his belly. Vorr calmed down from his outburst of laughter and spoke over Nuthea's whimpers. “Nobody's going to be healing her, unless they want a crossbow bolt through their neck too. Pitiful girl. Do you realise that you gave us the key to taking Manolia, to your own downfall? Once we discovered thanks to our little brush with you on the train that as Ruby-touched we had some immunity to the Lightning Crystal, everything was easy! We didn't even need to carry out an invasion! All I had to do was request a single diplomatic meeting, show your ‘Queen' our immunity, and then I could force her to do whatever I wanted, without any fear of your little lightning tricks. Telling her that I knew where you were and would kill you on sight when you arrived here if she didn't comply with my commands made her submit quickly enough. Most of her ‘guards' have been following her orders for the last few days without even knowing that we were still here! In fact, the vast majority of your ‘Queendom' doesn't even know it's been occupied by the Empire! After I'd got in here, all I had to do was wait for you to show up with your pitiful little ragtag band of vagrants--”“--underestimated me,” someone else was whispering nearby, Ryn became aware. Sagar. “I can take them. I can create a wind gust that deflects their arrows.”“Don't,” Cid hissed back. “You've seen how many of them there are up there. You saw how fast that arrow flew. You can't take all of them, Sagar. Stand down. We're better off letting ourselves be captured.”“He's not going to capture us,” whispered Vish in turn. “Once he has gloated over us and explained how he beat us he is going to kill us anyway. I have seen him do it a hundred times before. This could be the only chance we--”Vorr paused mid-speech and frowned at them. “SILENCE!” he shouted, his voice cracking for a moment on the second word and going incredibly high, spittle flying from his mouth. “Listen to me when I'm telling you how I defeated you!”Nuthea suddenly cried out in a high-pitched wail, but not at Vorr. She was still kneeling over her mother, her face soaked with tears. “She's stopped breathing! You killed her, you monster, you killed her!”Ryn stared at the lifeless body of Nuthea's mother sprawled humiliatingly face down on the dais, her long dark hair a mess around her head, her blood starting to drip slowly down the steps. Vorr had killed her, just like he had killed Ryn's own... Mother. Father. Hometown. Found Vorr. Get Vorr. Kill Vorr. Avenge Nuthea. “VORR!” Ryn felt himself light on fire as he ran up the steps towards the General and drew his sword, the cold in his belly suddenly replaced by heat. Somewhere behind him he was vaguely aware of a rush of air and the sound of arrows pinging off the stone floor. But only vaguely.He ran past Nuthea and her mother and swung his blade with all his might at Vorr's head, holding and moving it as Cid had taught him to.This time Vorr caught the hilt in one hand and the blade in his other, snapping his gauntleted fingers onto it and holding it in place.Ryn's fire went out from the shock.Vorr twisted his arms, and snapped Ryn's sword in two as it came out of his hands. The General flung the useless pieces of the broken weapon away, sending them to clatter on the ground.Before Ryn could recover from his surprise, Vorr reached out and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up off of his feet.A tight band of pain constricted around Ryn's neck at once. He gasped for air, but found none.Ryn clutched at Vorr's fingers and looked in horror into the man's bulging, sadistic, red-veined eyes. The General was crushing his windpipe. All that came into his head were words of despair.All that preparation, all that training in swords with Cid, and I still couldn't beat him. I didn't even have a chance. I just did exactly the same thing again. I just lost control and threw myself at him. Now this is it. I'm going to die. I've failed. I'm a failure.“Miserable whelp,” Vorr was saying to him. “Don't you ever learn? For the hundredth time: I am touched by the Ruby and so invulnerable to fire like you, you utter idiot. You didn't change your plan of attack once. I guess you just couldn't resist me!”“Boltaaaaagggaahhh!”Ryn felt a surge of shock pass through him, but then it passed, leaving only the ever growing pain around his neck.It was growing harder to think with every moment that he was unable to take a breath, but he realised that Nuthea had hit Vorr with a lightning attack.Vorr's gaze shifted down and to the side beyond Ryn. “Stop that, girl. Haven't you learned your lesson either? I have resistance to lightning too! You just stay there and wait your turn. I knew that you knew more about the Jewels than I got out of you in Imfis. I'll happily torture you to get the rest of that information, if you just wait a moment. Let me deal with this mongrel first.”The pain around Ryn's neck was tight as death.He's going to kill me and kill Nuthea too.Darkness prickled at the corners of Ryn's vision. He was passing out. He was going to die.He was going to die bitter, unavenged and unfulfilled, full of hate and anger and misery.As his vision faded, Ryn's eyes drooped. The last thing he saw before they closed was a pair of short silver chains that hung around Vorr's neck, over his armour. One chain had a ruby-set ring on it. The other chain had a crystal pendant on it.Behind his closed eyes, with the last thoughts of his life, Ryn found himself remembering something Nuthea had said to him once, on the train to Manolia.The Way of the One is to forgive, her words echoed in his mind.Fine, Nuthea, I'll try it your way. I'm about to die anyway. I've got nothing left to lose any more. I forgive you for revealing the location of the Fire Ruby to Vorr. I...I forgive Vorr for killing my parents and burning down my hometown. And I forgive...I forgive myself for failing to save them.And then fire exploded all around him.The grip on his neck loosened slightly, and some breath came back into Ryn.He opened his eyes and looked up.Bright white and orange heat enveloped him; a glowing ball of incandescent flame that grew from his heart and enshrouded all of him, all of Vorr. Unhindered by unforgiveness, Ryn's fire burned brighter than it ever had before.Through the fire, he saw fear in Vorr's irises.It was clear what he must do.The Jewels.Ryn reached out his hand to touch the small translucent round jewel which hung from one of the silver-chained pendants around Vorr's neck.It was still too far away.He concentrated, willing the fire radiating out of him to burn brighter, hotter, and focused it in one particular place.The chain turned red, then orange, then white, then…...melted.Ryn caught the Lightning Crystal as it fell.As he closed his hand around it a strange tingling sensation ripplied down his arm and through the rest of his body for an instant.The fire around him disappeared.If you touch a jewel you gain affinity with that element.Before Vorr could react, Ryn had just enough time to lift the crystal up a few inches from where it hung around Vorr's neck.He touched it lightly to Vorr's face, which had contorted into a puzzled frown, and let go.At the same time, with his other hand he reached out and touched the Fire Ruby where it hung from Vorr's neck, felt a familiar rush of warmth flow down from his hand…...and flared.His whole body lit on fire again, and fire leapt from his hands and blasted forwards into the general, hitting him directly in the chest where he lay and spreading out over the rest of him.“Aaaaaaarrrgggghhh!” screamed Vorr as Ryn's fire flashed over his body, no longer invulnerable to it because of his new lightning alignment.Ryn landed on his backside on the dais with a thump as the General dropped him.He gasped for air, and at last he found it, taking it in in a huge hungry gulp.His neck still hurt like hell as he rubbed it, but at least he could breathe again. Vorr hadn't completely crushed his windpipe.He got to his feet.He was dimly aware of the sounds of a battle still going on all around him, but only dimly. He remained focused on Vorr. He took the few steps to where Vorr lay and stood over the General.Steam coiled up from the General where he lay on his back. The man's eyes were shut in his round face. His skin was charred, red, even black in places, from where Ryn had burned him. He lay still, and Ryn couldn't see his chest rising and falling.I did it. He had finally killed General Vorr. And in the end, he hadn't even meant to.He reached down and grasped the Fire Ruby on its ring, then tore it from its chain. Links of metal scattered around the dais.The other sounds in the room came back to him.“Ryn, help us!” cried Nuthea.Ryn's head snapped round to see what was happening in the rest of the hall.Streaks of orange filled the air, deflected away from Ryn's friends and the two Manolian guards as Sagar stood at the centre of them and flung his hands around like a madman, drawing huge gusts of air across the hall that buffeted Ryn's face and made his eyes water. The soldiers had given up on shooting arrows and chosen to throw down fire at the party instead. Vorr must have touched them with the Ruby too. Sagar was doing a good job of turning the fireballs away, but sweat was streaking down the back of his head and he was having to move his hands incredibly fast. He wouldn't be able to keep this up forever. Ryn didn't even have time to properly acknowledge his own feelings at his victory over Vorr--a battle had begun, and he was needed. Found Vorr. Got Vorr. Killed Vorr. Avenged Nuthea. Now what? Stay with Nuthea. Protect Nuthea. Nuthea, who was about to be blasted by fire from the hands of an Imperial soldier who had somehow made it down to ground level, out of Sagar's line of sight, about twenty paces away from her to the side of the hall... Ryn sprang from the dais, clearing its steps in one leap, and pelted for Nuthea, getting in the way of her just in time for the soldier's fireball to hit him instead of her, right in his chest. Ryn felt the flames ripple over him and spread out to the sides as his body took their full force.He remained standing, unscathed. The soldier's mouth dropped open in horror. Energy rose up from Ryn's stomach, and the top of his head tingled. He ran at the soldier. The soldier thrust out both his hands on reflex and yelled in desperation, pouring a jet of flame at Ryn. Ryn took the flame-jet head-on, which did nothing to him, and kept on running, right through it, to the soldier. By the time Ryn reached him the terrified man had finally thought to stop trying to fight fire with fire and was reaching for his sword, but Ryn got to it first. Still clasping the Fire Ruby in his left hand, he spared some fingers from it to grab the soldier's arm, then reached and grabbed the soldier's sword hilt with his other hand. He drew the sword in a swift, clean motion, then stabbed it into the soldier's neck before the man even had a chance to react, pushing into the soft resistance of his flesh, which gave way at once. Ryn slid the blade out of the neck of the man, who fell back to the floor. He looked at it for a moment, decorated red. The second time he had killed. Vorr, and now this man. Sickness turned over his stomach. He didn't like it. But it had been necessary. This was life or death. He needed to protect his friends. He needed to protect Nuthea. He looked back at the battle. Sagar still drew the air around the room in a frenzy, pushing oncoming fireballs away. Cid had his eyes shut and was chanting something with a hand outstretched towards Sagar. Elrann, Nuthea and Vish were launching gunshots, lightning bolts and throwing stars up at the soldiers above, when they could. The Manolian guards stood among them, trying to hide behind Sagar. They must not have lightning-projection like Nuthea did. Ryn had an idea. He charged back into the fray, unafraid, impervious as he was to fire. “Here, take this!” he yelled to the first of the guards he came to, Kathuna, and threw the Fire Ruby to her. She caught it deftly with her spear hand. “What's this?” Kathuna called over the noise of the battle. “It's a Primeval Jewel. It will make you safe from fire, and able to project it yourself. Go--get out of here! Touch all the other guards in the palace with it, and bring them back here to fight! I'll cover you!” Kathuna didn't need telling twice. She nodded at Ryn, then turned and began to run in the direction of the hall's entry doors. At the same time, Ryn sprinted back to join the party, yelling “Watch out! Sagar, take a break!” The pirate snapped his head round to look at him, mid-wind-projection. “What?!” he yelled. Ryn didn't bother explaining further, but just stretched out his open palms towards the balcony. “FIRAGA!” was the sound that he found himself shouting. A few feet in front of Ryn, in the air, a huge sheet of fire appeared and leapt upwards at the soldiers on the balcony. It obscured them completely, hurtling over them in a mass of orange and red heat that made the air around it shimmer. Ryn kept up the stream of flames for a long count of five, then dropped his arms and exhaled. An ache throbbed through them at once. The flames subsided, revealing the soldiers blinking in confusion for a moment. “What was the point of that?” Sagar snapped. “They have fire! They're invulnerable to fire, you moron! When are you going to learn this?” “I wasn't trying to hurt them,” said Ryn calmly. “only to distract them for a moment.” He pointed towards the doors of the hall. Kathuna and the other guards were just reaching them. “I gave them the Ruby.” Sagar frowned. Then, “Oh. Not bad, pup...” Ryn watched as the guards wrenched open the double doors… ...and found Elpis, the lady Shadowfinger, stood waiting for them, dressed all in black, with her horrible painted-lady mask on, twirling a length of chain with a metal ball on the end covered in sharp spikes. The Shadowfinger's arm twitched, and all of a sudden the spiked mace shot out of its rotation at a tangent, pulling the chain along with it, and flew straight into Kathuna's face. The Manolian screamed and dropped to the floor.Nuthea cried out with grief.Ryn sprinted for the doors, the sword he had stolen from the Imperial still in his hand, calling over his shoulder, “Just hold them off for a bit longer while I take care of this!”, even as new fire came down from the balcony, and Sagar threw up his hands to gust it to one side. I've come so far. I've killed Vorr. I'm not about to let the Empire kill all my friends and me now.As he approached the Shadowfinger, who had been rounding on the next guard, he flung fire at her, but she saw him coming and leapt to one side, out of the way of it.Before he knew what was happening, her mace hurtled out towards him, hitting him in the stomach.Pain sang from Ryn's abdomen from uncountable needle-points as the spikes pierced it.Stupid boy, Ryn thought to himself as Elpis yanked back her chain and he put his hands to his stomach to clutch at his bloodying tunic, you're invulnerable to fire, not metal. This is really dumb way to die.He sat down on his backside, stunned by the wound.Elpis twirled her chain and brought her arm up and round again, about to whip it out at Ryn again for the finishing blow.Ryn shut his eyes.Metal clanged loudly against metal.Ryn opened his eyes.Vish stood in front of him, black sword drawn and out to one side. The spiked ball of Elpis's flail lay a little way away at the end of its chain. Vish must have deflected it with his blade.A frustrated growl came from behind Elpis's mask and she flicked the ball back towards her along the chain, then span it back into its deadly dance, around her head, then flung it back out again, not at Vish this time but at one of the Manolian guards who had made another run for the door. She caught the woman on the side of her helmet this time and the ball bounced off without sticking in. The Manolian cried out and hit the floor, but then rolled and came back up on her feet. She backed away from the door, wary, but still alive.Elpis wasted no time and pressed her attack. No sooner than the ball had rebounded off the Manolian's helmet, she pulled back on the chain and spun, bringing it around herself and back at Vish, who had been running towards her, but now had to duck and roll to one side to avoid being impaled by the spikes.A dance had begun. The lady Shadowfinger fought like some sort of demon, shouting with rage as she leapt and spun and flung her spiked ball at Vish, the guardswomen, Vish, the guardswomen, never letting up, not letting them get any closer to the doors. Her opponents were managing to dodge or deflect the attacks, but they couldn't keep this up forever. She was so vicious, so wild, so persistent.The pain throbbed in Ryn's stomach and he let out a moan. He doubled over, and looked down, unable to concentrate on the battle any more. Blood was leaking through his fingers, running down over his hands. Cid. I need Cid.He managed to twist his head round, then grimaced at a protest from his stomach muscles. Cid and the others were still clustered at the centre of the hall, pinned down by a barrage of fireballs from above which Sagar held off with gusts of wind. Cid had his eyes shut and a hand held out towards Sagar, his lips mumbling something. Ryn had no idea what he was doing, but it must have something to do with the reason that Sagar was able to keep up this defence for so long.“Cid!” Ryn called out in a weak voice, but just loud enough to make Cid open his eyes and look over. The healer's mouth dropped in concern and he started out in Ryn's direction, then stopped when a fireball crashed down in front of him, missing him by inches.“Wait!” a female voice cried out from somewhere behind Ryn.Ryn looked back round.A Manolian guard lay in an unconscious heap on the floor by the doors, her breastplate cracked, blood trickling out from underneath her.A few paces in front of her stood Vish, his sword held out straight, pointed at Elpis. The lady Shadowfinger's spiked ball was on the floor next to her, severed from its chain, which lay like a sleeping snake at her feet. Vish must have cut the ball from the chain. Instead of it, Elpis now held a black-bladed sword of her own in front of her face in a defensive stance.“Wait!” the lady Shadowfinger said again. Her voice sounded surprisingly delicate, almost like Nuthea's. “Don't do this, Vish.”“You may be skilled with that flail of yours,” Vish replied, “but I've bested you now, and I was always your better at swords. Give it up. You can't win.”“You don't know that,” said Elpis. “You may favour blades, but you didn't beat me every time we trained. And...I can give you poppy.”Vish hesitated a moment. “So what? This traveling party have poppy too. And they give me it whenever I want.”“Yes,” said Elpis, “but they will all be dead in a moment and their poppy will belong to the Empire. I can give you two poppy seeds right now, if you put down your weapon and return your allegiance. Come back to the Empire, Vish. All will be forgiven. Whatever led you astray temporarily, the Emperor will understand. He is most merciful.”She held out her hand. Two small round seeds lay in the centre of it, even darker than the black of her glove.Vish didn't reply.“Oh no,” Ryn said aloud. “Not this again.” His stomach hurt so much, and it hurt to talk, but if he didn't he feared he would bleed out soon, so he had nothing left to lose. “Don't listen to her, Vish! You've been here before! You've resisted before!”Vish threw him a quick glance, grey eyes unusually wide with anxiety, then returned to facing Elpis. He was still for a long moment, and for a while Ryn could only hear the shouts and cries and gusts of wind behind him.Vish put down his sword and held out his hand.“No!” Ryn whimpered.The lady Shadowfinger handed Vish the two seeds. He put them in his mouth, then fell backwards with a moan of pleasure.“YES!” Elpis let out a cry of glee from behind her mask and leapt over Vish's body towards Ryn, raising her sword high.As she did so, Vish's hand shot out and grabbed her leg, pulling her down to land face-first on the floor with a smack.In the same movement, he stood up with his sword and thrust it down through Elpis, literally stabbing her in the back.Elpis screamed, twitched a couple of times, and then abruptly went rigid.“How…?” Ryn said to Vish as the Shadowfinger ran over.Vish showed him the two black seeds in his free palm. “I only pretended to ingest them. I will save them for later.” He stowed them somewhere in the folds of his garments.“Vish, quick!” Ryn said, the urgency of their situation pulling him back to it. “There's no time! The guard--take the fire ruby from her and get it to the other Manolians.”“You are hurt,” Vish observed.“Yes! You can't do anything about that now! Go!”Vish nodded, sprinted to Kathuna, picked up the ruby ring from where she had dropped it, then pelted out of the double doors.One God, please let him find help quickly, Ryn found himself praying.He wrenched his head around again and black spots filled his vision; the pain in his belly screamed.“Cid!” he called again, with everything he had left.This time Sagar heard him too, catching a quick glance at Ryn in between blowing back the fireballs.“Hold on, pup!” he shouted back.Sagar bit his lip, then made a jump to one side, away from Ryn's direction.What's he doing? He's going to leave the others exposed if he goes that way!Sagar thrust out his hands…...at Cid, Elrann and Nuthea.“GO!” he shouted at the same time, and blasted the trio with air.Ryn's eyes watered as the healer, engineer and princess were swept off their feet by the blast of wind and sent flying down the hall towards him.Nuthea put her hands out and managed to ride the wind more or less gracefully, her dress billowing up behind her. Elrann curled into a ball and shot past Ryn, tumbling and cursing as she went.Cid turned head over heels in the air and crashed right into him.Excruciating pain in Ryn's stomach as something tore.He was on his back, but he barely knew that, the pain was so bad.“Cure!” Cid's voice said.Oh, thank the One, Ryn thought as the pain finally ceased, replaced by soothing warmth as the wound in his stomach closed up.Cid helped him sit up.“That was a close one,” Ryn said, “Again.”Cid's brow remained knotted in concern. “Quick, lad! I don't have much mana left; I was lending mine to Sagar, he can't have much left either!” He pointed back towards the centre of the hall. “You've got to help him!”With only Sagar left as a clear target, the soldiers on the balcony above were focusing all of their fire attacks on him at once, pouring a series of flame-jets at him.Sagar was on his knees, both hands held up, holding back the flames with air, his jaw clenched tight, a vein bulging in his forehead.Ryn wasted no more time.He dashed back across the hall, leapt in front of Sagar, facing him, and stood with his arms held out in the air to either side, taking the flame jets on his back. Again, he actually felt them replenishing him and giving him energy.Sagar groaned and lowered his arms, at last able to drop his defence. He was red-cheeked and drenched in sweat, his ponytail clinging to his neck.“Thanks, pup...” Sagar gasped, with just a hint of reluctance.The flames at Ryn's back subsided. The soldiers must have realised what was happening. Shouts of “Get down there! Find a way down!” from the balcony.Ryn had an idea.“You got anything left in you?” he asked Sagar.The pirate frowned at him. “Maybe a little. Why?”“Could you do what you just did to the others to me, to get me up to the balcony?”“What, like a wind-assisted jump?”“Yes. Exactly.”The pirate's eyes glinted. “Now you're talking.”“Do it.”Ryn spun to see the soldiers above turning and running up the sloped balcony, making for exit doors in the far wall.He crouched.“Now!” he yelled.Ryn jumped, and hung in the air for a moment, propelled only by the meagre strength of his legs.“WIND!” shouted Sagar.The air beneath Ryn rushed up to meet him, so forcefully that it lifted him up further, his body going weightless, his stomach dropping out below him, as he flew upwards towards the balcony rail.Only he wasn't quite going to reach it…He was going to fall short of it, and fall back down!Acting on instinct, Ryn focused on the soles of his feet and willed fire from them.He felt his feet catch alight and project jets of flame downwards…...with enough push-back to get him up over the rail.He landed on the balcony level clumsily, smacking into one of the benches and taking a nasty hit to the shoulder, then bouncing off it and rolling on the floor between them.He came up as quickly as he could.The soldiers who had seen him threw fire at him on reflex.Ryn simply absorbed it. It made the top of his head and his fingertips tingle as it gave him more ‘mana', as Cid called it.He held out his sword and rushed at the nearest soldier.“Cleasor!” he yelled.He parried away the soldier's first blow, knocking it to the side, then followed up with a thrust to the soldier's neck where he knew the Imperial armour had a gap.He withdrew his sword and the soldier toppled over.All that practice with Cid was finally paying off.Another soldier was on him at once, making him raise his blade and block high, middle, low, high again. He saw an opening and tried a slash at the man's chest, more to drive him back than anything, but the soldier blocked it in kind, and Ryn was forced to respond defensively to the counter-attack.Another soldier joined the fight.And another, and another.Ryn had to move faster to block and parry more cuts and thrusts from each side as more soldiers got near to him, driving him back towards the balcony rail. He could barely keep this up.The soldiers pressed in on him together, collectively targeting him as a priority threat to eliminate.Panic seized Ryn's chest, and he began to block and parry more manically, backing closer and closer to the balcony rail.There was no way he could defeat all these soldiers at once. What had he been thinking? When he had absorbed the fire attacks aimed at Sagar it had given him a surge of energy, but he had gotten carried away. How had he thought he could fight all of these soldiers by himself in weapon to weapon combat?He needed the others. He needed Vish. But the others weren't fire aligned--they were still vulnerable to the soldiers' flame attacks.“Argh!”A flash of pain in Ryn's leg, and he dropped his sword and went down, rolling down the last few steps of the balcony and thudding into the rail at its edge.He clutched his leg tight. One of the soldiers had finally found his mark and caught him with a vicious cut to it.Probably the same one one that was standing over him now, desperate hate in his eyes visible through his black helmet-visor, pulling back his sword for the killing thrust. “For the One!” shouted a chorus of furious female voices.The soldier above Ryn froze, then turned to see what was happening.Ryn stumbled up as a wave of gold crashed into the soldiers on the balcony.A stampede of Manolian guardswomen coming through the balcony entrance. The Imperials tried to hurl fire at them at first, but their fireballs simply dissipated on contact, without causing any harm.A stampede of Manolian guardswomen invulnerable to fire coming through the balcony entrance. He did it, thought Ryn. Vish followed my plan. He gave them the Ruby. Ryn heard pistol-shots. Elrann was with them as well.The soldier who had been standing over him screamed as he flew off his feet, through the air, then over the balcony, pushed off the balcony by a targeted gust of wind. And there's Sagar.And that black streak of black death was Vish.The others had found their way up to the balcony, and now in the chaos the Imperials couldn't work out who was invulnerable to fire and who wasn't. All Ryn needed was… “Young man, do you think you could just stop yourself from being grievously wounded just for a few moments?” said Cid as the old man arrived at his side. Ryn chuckled, but then stopped and closed his eyes at another wave of pain from his leg. Cid crouched next to him and laid a hand on the leg, whispering a cure, and the pain departed. “Well, I think that's about all I had left in me,” Cid said. “Come on, we better make sure nobody else gets wounded, as I won't be healing anybody for a while.” He drew his own sword, then helped Ryn up by the hand. Ryn retrieved his dropped blade from nearby and rejoined the fray with Cid, charging into the battle. This is a public episode.

Author's note: I've got a pivotal chapter for you this month, readers, with some big revelations, and a plot point based on a mechanic from the Pokemon games, but hey, this is Fantasy, so let's not talk too much about that second thing…Previously on Saga of the Jewels…Seventeen year old RYN's hometown is attacked by General VORR of the Empire and everyone he has ever known is killed. Just before Ryn's father dies, he gives Ryn a ruby which causes him to project fire. Ryn is captured by the Empire and meets another captive, Princess NUTHEA, who has the ability to project lightning. Nuthea explains to him that the Empire have learned of the existence of twelve Primeval Jewels which grant the ability to manipulate different elements, and are searching for them. The Imperial vessel where they are being held is in turn attacked by a pirate airship, and the pirates capture Ryn and Nuthea. The lead pirate, Captain SAGAR, agrees to escort Nuthea back to her homeland, and to spare Ryn's life, in exchange for the promise of gold, gemstones and beautiful women upon her safe delivery. They land in the port city of Ast and recruit an engineer called ELRANN. Ast is then attacked by the Empire, who are using the Fire Ruby to invade the continent and search for more of the Jewels. Ryn, Nuthea, Sagar and Elrann flee the city together, but are then attacked by a bounty hunter, VISH. They manage to subdue the bounty hunter but Nuthea is gravely wounded in the process. Ryn beats Sagar to the hunter's mount and rushes Nuthea to the nearest town where he finds a healer, CID, a mysterious old man who saves the princess's life with his arts and asks to join the traveling party, saying that he believes it is the purpose of ‘the One', the god that he and Nuthea each worship. On leaving the town the party is pursued by an enormous dog-like monster driven by a troop of Imperial soldiers. The party manage to escape with the help of Vish, who fights on their side in exchange for Cid supplying his poppy-seed habit. Cid reveals that he was once a member of another adventuring party who set out to find the twelve Primeval Jewels, but failed. The party press on the capital city of Sirra, where they ambush some Imperial soldiers and steal their uniforms in order to sneak onto a sleeper train bound for Nuthea's homeland. They make it aboard successfully, but then Ryn gives them away when he comes face to face with General Vorr on the train and is unable to prevent himself from attacking him. The party are thus forced to escape from the train by leaping into a river it is passing…Cold constricting around his chest. Rushing noise filling his ears. Current pulling him along, fast. Nuthea's hand gone. White spray everywhere, vision obscured by water, white spray again. A mouthful of water. Another. Get me out of this water! I hate water! A gulp of air, by sheer chance, enough to keep fighting a few moments longer. Being dragged downwards by the weight of the armour. Frantically kicking his legs and flailing his arms around to try to prevent the downwards drag. Panic. Not knowing how to swim.A scrap of sound.“--he is! Help him out, now!”A hand grabbed Ryn by the arm and yanked hard against the direction the current was taking him.Pain flared in his shoulder and he thought his arm might pop out of its socket, but Ryn cooperated with the hand and tried to pull himself in the direction it tugged him all the same, to reach round with his other hand...Another hand found his other arm, and pulled.And then he was up and out of the rushing water, being hauled onto a grassy riverbank by Sagar and Elrann.They released him and he fell to the grass with a thwap, landing face-down. He tasted soggy earth. He never thought the taste of it could be so sweet.“--stupid pup!” Sagar was saying. “Why didn't you tell us you couldn't swim?”“Yeah, farmboy!” Elrann joined in. “Why shouldn't you be able to swim? It's not like there aren't any rivers or lakes in Efstan! It doesn't make any sense!” Ryn raised his head. Like him, they were completely soaked. Sagar's hair hung like curtains over both his eyes and his ponytail stuck limply to his neck. Elrann looked like more of a typical girl for once, her purple hair seeming much longer than usual when wet and plastered to the back of her head.Ryn ignored their jibes. He couldn't help himself from grinning at them, so glad was he still to be alive. “There wasn't really time to think it, let alone mention it, back there. And what can I say? For some reason I've always had this funny thing about water... Never been so keen on it...” Nuthea, he thought. “Nuthea!” he said, looking around frantically.“I'm here,” Nuthea called from further up the bank. Cid and Vish were with her too, all of them dripping wet.“Were we followed?” Ryn asked, standing up and surveying the river, the grass, the hills.“No,” said Cid. “I think we took the Imperials completely by surprise. The train carried them off before they had a chance to react. Even if they stop it and back up, that will still take quite a long time. And as soon as they leave the tracks they won't be able to travel any faster than us, since they don't have any alternative means of transport, as far as we know. But all the same, we should get as far away from here as we can as quickly as possible, just in case.”“You are correct in that,” said Vish. “They did not follow immediately, but they may still try to. And they had Elpis with them. You should get moving.”They trudged up the riverbank together. A light breeze blew cold against their wet bodies, chilling their clothes inside the Imperial armour they still wore, and a shiver ran up Ryn's spine. Before they had jumped from it, the train had been wending its way through a green, grassy, hilly country in which they now found themselves. They traipsed to the top of the nearest hill to get their bearings. The sun was still climbing in the bright blue sky, and West, in the direction it was heading, the hills stretched out as far as they could see. In the East, the hills grew to snow-capped mountains. “Does anyone know where in Mid we are?” said Ryn.“We're in Zerlan!” exclaimed Elrann at exactly the same time. “I'd recognise those mountains anywhere! We must be in the foothills of the Pelna mountains, which border Imfis and Manolia!”“That would make sense,” said Cid sagely, nodding. “The train would have had to go through the mountains on the border to get into Manolia, and would pass through Zerlan briefly just before it got there.”“Look!” said Nuthea, pointing. Over the hills, in the East, close to the mountains, its source obscured by one of the larger hills in that direction, was an unmistakable plume of steam, its tail getting slowly further and further away from them.“They haven't turned back,” said Nuthea.“Of course not,” said Vish. “You are merely an irritation to them, not a distraction worth diverting their whole course for.” He still says ‘you', not ‘we', Ryn noted. “Though you should not assume anything. They may still have sent someone after you.”“Like that Lady Shadowfinger?” said Nuthea. “‘Elpis'?”“Perhaps.”“We really should keep moving then,” said Ryn, beating Sagar to it, who closed his mouth and frowned.“Which way?” said Elrann.“Towards Manolia, of course,” said Nuthea.This time Sagar got there first. “But we'll never catch up to that train now--they'll beat us there, princess, and invade before we can arrive to warn them.”“Not necessarily…” said Nuthea.They all looked at her standing sopping wet at the top of the hill.She bit her lip. Once again Ryn got the distinct impression that she knew more than she was letting on.“Alright,” said Sagar exasperatedly, “come on, princess--give up the goods. What are you not telling us?”“I--” started Nuthea.“She can tell you while you are moving,” said Vish, his grey eyes scanning the hills. He began to walk, and everyone followed, except--“HOLD ON!” yelled Elrann.They all stopped and looked round at her. Her cheeks had turned nearly as purple as her hair. Nearly.“You should not shout so loudly, girl…” hissed Vish.“Aw, hush up, bountyhunter. If anyone sneaks up on us I'll just shoot them like I shot you. What nobody seems to have remembered is that while we may still have our weapons and our lives, thank Yntrik, we've all lost our packs. It looks like a good day or two's hike to those mountains, and then we have to get through them, and I for one ain't too sure our wilderness survival skills are up to a high enough standard to get us through all a'that without any supplies. I say we head to a Zerlanese settlement first and get stocked up--hopefully none of you were so dumb as not to keep your coin about your persons, like I did. I reckon I'm familiar enough with this part of the country that I could sniff out a town out for us, sooner or later.”“Um, it's not entirely true that none of us have any supplies...” said Cid, swinging his satchel around to the front of him by its strap. “I managed to keep hold of this during our escape, and as well my healer's provisions it has a little food. I've checked it, and since it was sealed up the contents are all dry and intact, despite our little swim.”The twitch in Vish's face did not escape Ryn's notice. Cid pulled some waybread, salt beef and a bit of cheese out of his bag. His eyes roved round the group. “Did anyone else manage to hold on to anything?”Nobody volunteered. They all seemed, indeed, to have lost their packs and supplies during the chaos aboard the train. “Ah,” said Cid.A strong pang of guilt went through Ryn's stomach. But it was soon swallowed up by hatred as he remembered what had led him to reveal himself on the train. Mother. Father. Hometown. Find Vorr. Get Vorr. Kill Vorr. “Well, that settles it, then,” said Elrann. “Instead of South-East, we first go North to find a Zerlanese settlement to restock. Princess-girl can explain why we're not in a rush after all on the way.”Nuthea's mouth dropped open. “I never said that we were not still in a rush. I just said we were not in as much of a rush as you might think. I want to carry on in the direction of Manolia--”“Princess!” Sagar snapped. “There is no way we can make it through those mountains with just a bit of bread and salted meat! Not even just the two of us could manage that! You've employed me to do a job, but I can only do it and deliver you safely to Manolia if you are still alive!”Nuthea opened her mouth again, but then something flickered in her eyes and she went tight-lipped. “Hmph,” she said. For once, she had backed down. Even she seemed to see the sense in what Elrann and Sagar were saying.Ryn was torn, though. Vorr was heading South-East, not North. At the same time, he thought, he needed to stay alive as well in order to be able eventually to get to Vorr and kill him. And he still wasn't strong enough--if nothing else, their most recent confrontation had shown him that. He needed to train more on the way, to get stronger, to get better with his sword. And maybe it was the shock of what had just happened, maybe it was the cold water, but now he began to doubt seriously for the first time whether he would ever be able to kill Vorr. The man was just too strong. Too powerful. He shook his head. No. Don't think like that. You will get strong enough to kill him. Mother. Father. Hometown. Find Vorr. Get Vorr. Kill Vorr. Stay with Nuthea...Ryn blinked. By the time he had finished thinking all of this, the others had already walked off down the hill. He ran to catch up with them.As he ran, he tripped over his feet, stumbled a few paces, then lost his balance completely and fell. He twisted his body round to cushion himself against the impact on his side, but the hill was so steep that he rolled down it, turning over several times. He crashed into Sagar from behind, taking the skypirate's legs out from underneath him, before managing to put his hands out and scramble to hold onto the grass, raking the earth with his fingernails to come to a stop at last.Sagar was on him at once, flipping him onto his back, kneeling on his arms, cutlass drawn already, holding the blade to Ryn's throat. “You stupid pup!” Sagar yelled, his face red with fury, spittle flying from his mouth and dampening Ryn's cheeks. “What in the seventeen hells do you think you're doing? It's your fault we got into this mess in the first place! Because you couldn't control yourself when you saw that Imperial general! I told you before that if you ever pulled something like yanking me off that chocobo again I would end you, and this comes godsdamn close! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't slit your throat right now!”The others were yelling at Sagar to get off him, but Ryn couldn't hear them properly. All of his attention was taken up by the curved, glinting blade pressing at his adam's apple.He had been in this position before. He was trying to remember how to get out of it...“I…” Ryn croaked. “I'm... sorry, Sagar… I…”Something inside him lit. He had had enough of this.This time he felt his eyes catch alight, and the whole of his vision--from the shining cutlass blade to Sagar's sneering face--turned red and orange, transfigured by fire.He didn't know how to project the flames from his eyes.Instead, as the heat rose up through his chest, Ryn realised he was about to repeat something that he had learned to do back on the train.“FIRE!” Ryn roared, and flames leapt from his mouth straight into Sagar's face.The skypirate screamed and leapt backwards, dropping his cutlass and clutching at his face. He kept screaming as Ryn got to his feet, still hot with anger and seeing red.The screams turned into “You b*****d! You b*****d! You burned me!”Sagar took his hands away from his face. Ryn couldn't completely tell in his fire vision, but it looked scorched, darker than usual. Nothing Cid can't heal, I'm sure.The whole of Ryn was on fire again. He threw a fireball at Sagar--just a small one, not big enough to seriously harm him, just burn him a bit more.Sagar saw or felt it coming and brought his hand across his body, making a movement as if to bat the fireball away. A rush of wind issued from his hand, blowing the fire to one side and causing it to dissipate into the air.That only renewed Ryn's rage. He chucked another fireball at Sagar, no longer caring how big it was, then another and another.Sagar blocked each one with his air projection, fanning them away in gusting flickers. But only barely.On his scorched face, the skypirate's singed brows tipped back above widened eyes and his jaw went slack. That's right, thought Ryn. Make him scared. Make him pay. Make him stop bullying me.“Boltaaaaarrrrraaaa!” someone shouted.A stab of shock lanced through Ryn. The pain entered at his back, but in an instant spread to every point in his body. He cried out.The pain passed, but before Ryn knew it he had lost his concentration, and his fire vision and aura were gone, steam hissing up from him.What the hell?“You both stop this at once!” someone was saying in a raised voice behind him.Ah. Nuthea. “I've had just about enough of this, from the pair of you!” Nuthea carried on. She lightninged me. She actually lightninged me. He turned round to listen to the rest of his telling off.Nuthea was shaking with fury and her eyes had doubled in size. “I can't believe you! I've got a highly important mission to carry out and the two of you can't stop squabbling! We'll never make it to Manolia if we kill each other first! You both need to just grow up!”Ryn crossed his arms. “He started it,” was all that he could say after a moment. He knew it sounded childish but he was still smarting from being briefly electrocuted by Nuthea and it was the best he could come up with at short notice.“Well, I finished it. Now apologise to each other, both of you.”From the way that Sagar was sitting on the ground, Ryn guessed Nuthea must have hit him with the lightning as well. His face was back to normal. Cid knelt next to him, tight-lipped with disappointment, so the healer must have taken care of it.Their eyes met, and Sagar scowled, flashing anger at Ryn. But, Ryn realised, it was no longer the scowl of a superior. It was the scowl of an equal.At least he had achieved something. He probably should apologise for burning the guy's face though. At least to make Nuthea happy.“Sorry, Sagar...” Ryn said.A long moment passed as they held each other's gaze. Rage seemed to jostle with obligation in Sagar's brown eyes.Eventually Sagar looked away and mumbled something completely inaudible.“What was that?” asked Ryn.“I said...rrrrrrsry.”“Pardon?”“SORRY!” Sagar shouted. “There! Are you satisfied now, princess?”“Reasonably,” said Nuthea. “Now come on, both of you, everyone. We have places to be.”“This travelling party is a joke,” said Sagar as they began to climb another hill in a direction that Elrann indicated. “You're right, princess, we'll have all killed each other before we have a chance to get back to your homeland.”“Oh, I wouldn't be too hard on us,” said Cid. Disappointed, but still optimistic, then. “We did just manage to elude the grasp of practically an entire Imperial battalion and several Morekemian officers together, in spite of the circumstances. That is no small achievement, and took a great amount of both teamwork and skill.” Ryn's shoulders eased a bit and his spirit rose at that. When you put it like that, things didn't seem so bad. Find Vorr. Get Vorr. Kill Vorr. Stay with Nuthea. Even if she had just hit him with a lightning bolt. He was surprised that he hadn't been more lastingly hurt by that. There had been a brief shock of pain, but then he had been fine. He hadn't even needed Cid to heal him, like Sagar had. He wondered why that was. Was she able to control the strength of her attacks? Nothing she had said before had seemed to indicate that… Though if she was, why had she hit Sagar harder than him?Really, there were other things more pressing on his mind.“So Nuthea,” he said, “can you explain to us why we're not in so much of a rush to get to Manolia any more?”“Yeah,” joined in Elrann. “What gives, princess-girl? For ages you're all like”--she put on a refined voice in mock imitation of Nuthea--“‘I must return to my homeland to warn my people of what the Emperor has learned', then all of a sudden now that we're nearly there, you don't seem so bothered. What gives?”Nuthea took a while to reply, and for a moment they were walking only to the sound of their own grunting and panting as they made their way up the hill. But eventually she broke her silence.“As you know, we are currently in Zerlan, though very close to the border of both Imfis and Manolia, in the Pelnian mountains.” Of course she was going to tell them through a lecture. “Just beyond the mountains, in the Iflama forest where the Manolian peninsula starts to jut out from the Dokanese mainland, there is a huge, fortified wall. It is not very wide, because it does not need to be to span the width of the peninsula, but it is tall, and thick, and extremely well defended. The train will have to stop at the station of a town outside of this wall. I am sure that my countrywomen will have got wind of the Empire's invasion of Dokan by now, so they will have barred entry of the train through the tunnel that passes under the wall, especially when a battalion of Imperial soldiers appears in Plessa station. It will take Vorr time to work out how to get past this wall, and all that time he will be sitting at Plessa station with his troops, and for all we know he will be amassing more there. But now that he has beaten us to it, our goal is not speed, but stealth. We will need to sneak through or around the soldiers in order to get past the wall before they do. Then finally I will be able to deliver the information that the Emperor has found out about the Jewels to my people, before Vorr can get to them.” She took a deep breath. Her lecture had been punctuated by a lot of huffs and puffs as she climbed the hill.The rest of them took a moment to let this sink in. Then Ryn said, “Alright… so we need to sneak past the Imperial troops...again. It's a good thing we've still got this Imperial armour, even if we've lost our helmets. But what do we do once we reach this ‘wall'? How will we be able to get past it without revealing ourselves to the Imperials on this side of it?”“Yeah, he does have a point there, princess,” said Sagar, to Ryn's surprise. Perhaps Ryn should set his face on fire more often…“That's the reason I'm not in as much of a rush any more,” said Nuthea, determinedly looking at her feet as she walked and refusing to meet any of their gazes. “I...I know of a secret passageway through the wall. A secret entrance and exit. We will be able to sneak into Manolia through that.”“Okay,” said Elrann, “well that makes a lot more sense now. But I think it makes all the more sense for us to be restocking our supplies here in Zerlan before we carry on. There's no way we could even get to the Manolian border wall on what we've got left.”“I agree,” said Cid. Sagar and Vish nodded their assent too.Ryn didn't see any reason to protest. Which meant that in a moment he could ask Nuthea about some other things that had happened on board the train which had been starting to bother him...They reached the crest of the latest hill and took a moment to catch their breaths in the crisp air. This hill was higher than the last and afforded them an even better view of the surrounding country. To the West and North, more hills, stretching back to the Imfisi plains they had traversed on the train. To the East and South, yet more hills, yes, but instead of eventually flattening out, they rose to become the snow-dusted Pelnian mountains. Wending its way down from these was the thin blue ribbon of the river they had jumped into to escape from Vorr. The plume of steam from the Sirran train the Imperials had commandeered had long disappeared.Ryn could not hold in his questions any more. “Why did we end up needing to jump off the train?” he asked of the world in general. Then he rounded on Cid, addressing his next few questions to the old man. “Why did Nuthea's lightning bolt not do more damage to Vorr? You were worried about that before it happened. What do you know that we don't?”The old man chewed his cheek. Everyone looked at him expectantly for an answer. Everyone except Nuthea.“Something,” Cid said eventually, “now, that I had only suspected before.”Ryn couldn't help from feeling that the old man was only pausing for dramatic effect. “What?” Cid sighed. “The Jewels, when a person touches them, impart alignment to the element they are associated with. That's why a person who has been touched by one of them can manipulate and project that element, and isn't harmed by it.”“We know that, old timer,” said Sagar. “Come on, skip to the new stuff.”“I'm getting there. When my former companions and I were collecting the Jewels before, we developed a theory about this elemental alignment, but we never had the opportunity to test it properly, and we never dared test it on each other. The theory we came up with was that, when a person touched a particular Jewel, not only did they gain the ability to manipulate that element, but they also gained a certain affinity with that element. Somehow, their body became attuned to that element and came to bear some of the properties of that element. And from various anecdotal incidents, we came to speculate that with this affinity came certain weaknesses and resistances to the other elements.”“Put it in plainspeak, old timer,” said Sagar.“In other words, a person aligned to a certain element will be especially weak to attacks from certain other elements, and especially resistant to attacks from certain other elements. The most obvious one is that people who have touched the Fire Ruby would be especially susceptible to attacks from those who had touched the Water Sapphire, as fire is vulnerable to extinguishment by water. But in turn water is highly vulnerable to lightning…”“And fire is resistant to lightning,” said Ryn slowly, seeing where Cid was going. “That's why Nuthea's lightning bolt didn't hurt me more. That's why Sagar needed you to heal him, but not me. That's why Vorr and the officers touched by the Ruby hadn't been hurt more by her lightning back on the top of the train.” “Indeed,” said Cid. “As far as we guessed, fire isn't completely resistant to lightning, but it is partially resistant, from what we observed. And interestingly enough, it didn't quite seem to work the other way around. Lightning alignment does not grant resistance to fire–far from it–so fire seemed to be the dominant element in the pairing. It was only a theory, and like I say, we didn't have a chance to test it out properly before, since nobody but us ever had any elemental powers before, and we didn't want to test it by attacking each other, but now that you've done that it does seem to confirm--” “Do the Empire know?” said Nuthea all of a sudden, briskly. The colour had drained from her face completely; her skin was milk-white. “Do the Empire know?” she asked again, even more urgently.“I don't see how they could,” said Cid, putting his hands up in reassurance, “unless they have access to lore that we didn't. Although recent events may have given them an inkling…”“We've got to keep moving,” said Nuthea. “Fast. We need to find a Zerlanese settlement as soon as we can and restock our supplies, and then move on to Manolia.” She had started to hop from foot to foot. “Come on, everyone!” She seemed to have turned even whiter, were that possible, and had started to shake a little.“Now hold on, princess!” said Sagar. “All of a sudden we're in a rush again? What's with all the urgency?”Ryn knew.“Don't you see?” said Nuthea, pleadingly. “Vorr and his Officers are heading for Manolia, with the Fire Ruby, and they have resistance to lightning! The primary defence method of my people won't even work against him! And he might even know this now!”“Arrrrggh!” Ryn cried out with frustration. The mention of the General's name had lit the flame of his temper again, and hate burned in his chest at the memory of being caught and tortured by him. “Damn him, he's just too strong! Even with all my practice I still couldn't beat him! He's invulnerable to fire, and now we know he's virtually invulnerable to lightning too!”“Don't be so hard on yourself,” said Cid. “Vorr is powerful and devious.”“I hate him!” Ryn went on, unable to contain his outburst and not caring. “I hate him for killing my parents and burning down my hometown and for stealing the Jewel from us!”“Come on, Ryn,” said Nuthea, still agitated too, “let's go, then! That's why we've got to get to Manolia ahead of him: to warn my people and stop him from taking another Jewel!”Ryn remembered something else. In the heat of his outburst, he couldn't hold back his questions any more.“Nuthea, what did Vorr mean when he said to you on top of the train ‘you've been helpful enough already by betraying your homeland', anyway?”Now Nuthea froze.They all looked at her. She didn't speak for a long time.When she did, she said very quietly, “I didn't think you'd heard that…” “No, I heard it,” said Ryn slowly. “How couldn't I? He said it loud and clear. I just hadn't had a moment to ask about it until now. What did he mean?”Nuthea looked at the ground.Ryn's guts went suddenly cold, the heat vanishing as quickly as it had come. Slowly, a chill crept up from the base of his feet to the top of his head, gripping his heart tight on the way. Mother. Father. Hometown. Find Vorr. Get Vorr. Kill Vorr. Stay with Nuthea?He heard himself asking another question. “How did Vorr find out about the Jewels in the first place? It wasn't just a coincidence that he attacked my town, was it?”“No,” said Nuthea very quietly, still looking down. “He knew about the Fire Ruby before he attacked Cleasor.” “How?”The cold was freezing fear in the pit of his stomach. “He knows because I told him.”Shock tore through Ryn. His mouth fell open.“Wh… what?”Still Nuthea refused to meet his gaze. “He knows because I told him,” she said quietly through the tears that started to stream down her cheeks.“Why? When? Where?”The others stared at her from where they stood, stunned to silence. Even Sagar didn't offer any comment, but seemed keen to hear whatever Nuthea had to say next.Nuthea took a deep breath and brushed the water from her cheeks. It took her a little while, but eventually she started to tell them the tale. “There… there never was an undercover mission to Imfis… What happened was that I ran away from my homeland because I was due to be wed in an arranged marriage, and I didn't want to be; I wanted to see the world and go on adventures. So I ran away, and disguised myself, and made my own way travelling. I got as far as Sirra, but one night I was staying at an inn there, and I met this man...”A horrible premonition came into Ryn's imagination.“...he bought me some drinks,” Nuthea went on, “and somehow I let slip that I was a Manolian princess...”“Why would you do that?” Ryn said.“I don't know!” Nuthea nearly started to sob again, then choked it back. “He was very charming, and he had a very flattering way of talking and I… I suppose I wanted to impress him… When I told him I was a princess he was very interested--”“Course he was,” said Sagar.“--he was very interested, and he started asking me things about my homeland and my people. And then… then he started asking me about the Primeval Jewels. Somehow he had heard of them, and he started to ask me what I knew, and I told him… I told him…”Nuthea petered out as she looked back down at the ground. She didn't seem able to bring herself to say whatever she had been going to say next.“What did you tell him?” said Ryn. But he realised he already knew.Nuthea raised her gaze to Ryn's. Her lip quivered.“I told him what I knew about the Jewels. I told him that the Lightning Crystal was in the Manolian capital and that the Fire Ruby was hidden in a small town in Efstan called Cleasor.”Ryn reeled, and had to put his arms out to stop himself from falling over. The world had begun to spin. He felt himself sit down on the ground with a bump.“I…” said Nuthea. “I'm sorry I lied to you. To you all.”Nobody else spoke. They just watched Ryn.“Say something, Ryn,” Nuthea implored him.Ryn's mind caught up with his body.“Do you mean to tell me…” he said slowly, quietly. “Do you mean to tell me that the person responsible for the Morekemian Emperor finding out about the Jewels, for Vorr coming to my hometown to find the Fire Ruby, for the death of my mother, for the death of my father, for the destruction of my hometown and the death of everyone I've ever known is...you?”“I'm sorry!” Nuthea burst out again. “I don't know what came over me! I had been drinking wine, and Vorr is...Vorr is actually quite attractive when he's not in his armour and you don't know he's an Imperial soldier… He must have been in there off duty, or on shore leave, or something, in his regular clothes. And he...he noticed me, and he was trying to...ingratiate himself with me... ”The world was still spinning, and it span faster. Ryn's stomach turned over; he worried he might be sick. “You mean you…?”“No!” said Nuthea quickly. “No. But I did get to talking with him. After I told him who I was, and then about the Jewels, he overpowered me straight away and took me back to his airship, where he threw me in that cell. I'm sure he would have tortured me, but by that point he had already gotten out of me everything I knew. I'm...I'm so sorry, Ryn.”The nausea receded a little, leaving only...cold.“Ryn, I--”“No, stop,” said Ryn. He stood up shakily. “Don't waste your breath.” This was all too much. “I need to be by myself for a little while.”He stumbled away from the group, down and round the side of the hill they were on. The whole time he walked he felt numb. And yet, underneath the numbness, somewhere in the pit of his stomach, Ryn was vaguely aware that something else was stirring in him, fighting to make itself known.When he knew he had walked down and round enough of the hill to be out of sight of his companions, he sat down and wept.The ocean of grief that had been sealed up inside of him burst forth all of a sudden, flooding him. He had had to keep it pressed down in order to escape the Empire, find a healer for Nuthea, sneak onto the train with the others, fight Vorr. He had not allowed himself to feel it fully. But now it had grown too much, and the grief broke its dam. He buried his face in the grass so that nobody would hear him, however far away they were, as it came out through his eyes in hot tears, through his chest in big, heaving sobs, through his mouth in muffled shouts of pain and anger at Vorr, at the Empire, at the world, at the fact that everyone he had ever known had been killed, but he alone had been left alive.At Nuthea.Mother. Father. Hometown. Find Vorr. Get Vorr. Kill Vorr. Get away from Nuthea. This is a public episode.

There have been fifteen editions of the book, although most were revisions. Four editions were published during the lifetime of Thomas: in 2000 by The Christadelphian Magazine & Publishing Association Ltd.; a reprinting by Logos Publications in January 2000; a reprint in April 2009 of the Fourth Edition--the latter was the last edited by John Thomas just prior to his death.

It has become tradition to record one of these when all of our crew have played through the expansion and yesterday afternoon Kodra finally finished it. We also ended up recording for far longer than we have EVER recorded for one of these shows. We started about an hour early and still finished up two hours late for a grand total of around four hours of podcast to edit. The end result is that we are chopping this down into three separate shows which is a first for us. We have a storied history of double episodes but never a triple. This week we have part two of this sequence. Hopefully you enjoy the show, and if Final Fantasy XIV is not your jam then I guess we will see you hopefully in a couple weeks for more live shows.Topics Discussed Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Health reporter Nathan Jeffay and Tech Israel editor Ricky Ben-David join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. The one thing on every Israelis' minds today is snow -- how much and where? Love it or hate it, a snowy Holy Land is a relatively rare, national event. How are our guests getting prepared? One in 20 Israelis is currently infected with the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. Jeffay gives context to the dire-sounding numbers even as Israel appears set on a fourth vaccination for all above age 18. The pandemic has led to some pupils being sent home to multiple quarantines. This, along with other side-effects of the ongoing crisis, has led to a marked increase in depression among children. Jeffay weighs in. And finally, what about those reports that the pandemic is basically over? Ben-David sheds light on how the Abraham Accords has opened up new markets for Israeli medical tech. She spotlights one company, TytoCare, a telehealth startup that developed an artificial intelligence-based device that enables clinicians to perform remote medical examinations. And finally, following the Colleyville hostage situation last week, a philanthropist is investing $1 million into Blue Systems Ltd's Gabriel — inspired by the biblical guardian angel of the same name — a “smart panic-button” system, equipped with sensors, a camera and a microphone that can be installed in school and institution rooms. Discussed articles include: Winter storm Elpis brings heavy snow to Golan; schools in north, Jerusalem to shut 1 in 20 Israelis infected, yet experts optimistic Omicron won't defeat hospitals Health officials said to warn country will soon break own record for serious cases Depression, anxiety in children jumped during pandemic, study shows Israeli startups head to Dubai to tout medical, health technologies Rabbi creates ‘guardian angel' panic button to cut chaos in school shootings Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Denne veilederen er utarbeidet for deg som støtter et barn som driver med selvskading. Målet er å gi informasjon og veiledning for å hjelpe foreldre som er i en slik situasjon, for å forsikre dem om at de ikke er alene, at det er hjelp og det er HÅP.

Portare "l'Elpis" in Mali: da Firenze il sogno di un playground e di una scuola in uno dei paesi più poveri al mondo

"I sogni sono come le stelle, basta alzare gli occhi e sono sempre là" avrebbe detto Jim Morrison. Un grande sogno che parte da Firenze e arriva direttamente a Koutiala in Mali è quello dell'associazione Elpis. Un sogno internazionale che, passo dopo passo, diventerà realtà. Perchè l'associazione nata nel 2007 e rinvigorita nel tempo grazie all'arrivo di tanti "amici" del mondo del basket fiorentino e non, ha un progetto chiaro e concreto: costruire un playground e una piccola scuola in uno dei posti più poveri del globo . In Mali, infatti, più della metà della popolazione vive sotto le soglie di povertà ed è tra i 25 paesi più poveri al mondo. Elpis, come da simbologia greca, porta speranza e fatti. Dopo aver costruito e sistemato un dormitorio femminile in un orfanotrofio in Kenya, l'obiettivo è quello di portare i giovani maliani a studiare ed eccellere. "Questo progetto - spiega Marco Bonaiuti - lo abbiamo intrapreso insieme a tanti amici legati al mondo del basket. Abbiamo già aiutato le persone di Koutiala ma ora l'idea è quella di costruire il playground più due/tre aule di una scuola dando così a questi maliani la possibilità di studiare e di eccellere nello sport. Questi ragazzi hanno poco" Elpis però non si ferma e lavora anche in Italia ridipingendo e sistemando i "campini". Recentemente, infatti, è stato ridipinto il playground di Settimello. Un grande impegno per grandi sogni. Adesso il 2021 è alle porte ed Elpis, costretta a rinunciare alla cena di Natale, si affiderà ad una lotteria per ripartire. Non resta che aspettare ma la palla a due è servita.
