—Well, Philliphe, tell us a little more about yourself. What is your routine like, your day to day life? (The Seer)
— My life now comes down to work involving the public sector, my place, and my home. I've been like this since I lost what was most important in my life, my children and my wife. And yours? (Philliphe)
— My life is hectic. I also work in the public sector, six hours a day, and when I get home I study for competitions and perform my role as a writer. I consider myself homely and when I go out for a walk, usually on weekends, I prefer to do it with someone. (The Seer)
— My activities revolve around my studies and help my mother at home. I like going out with friends on weekends and flirt. (Renato)
—In addition to these activities, which others do you enjoy? (The Seer)
—I like reading and music. It's my relaxation. And you? (Philliphe)
— Many music, movies, football, reading only on the weekends when I'm not too busy. Some things I wanted to change one day was to take time to exercise and dance my weaknesses. (The Seer)
—In my case, dance is my forte because I already participated in several contests with my flirting and won. Studying is also good because it is my future. (Renato)
—Your flirtatious? I'm impressed by this boy's daring at this age, seer. (Philliphe)
— I'm not impressed anymore. He has done more dazzling and secret things. I know everything! (The Seer)
—Like what? (Challenge Renato)
— Never mind. KKkk (laughs). Philliphe, changing the subject and what if we fail? I mean, if we do not find what you want on this unpredictable trip? (Questioned the seer)
— I do not believe. From the little I know of you, you are winners in everything you do. I'm relaxed and let's see in what this madness will result. (Philliphe)
— Very well. Philliphe. Regardless of the outcome, know that we are with you for whatever comes. (Renato)
— This. Friends always. (The seer completed)
The incredible duo of the series the seer got up and hugged the protege. They formed a perfect trio ready to fight for the necessary knowledge and revelation concerning the fourth saga. But what were they really looking for? Was it the knowledge of God, of his lines written at any moment that influenced the two types of destiny? Or maybe just self-knowledge that would heal the wounds of life? Or even the sacred God’s code, something never before revealed in the history of mankind? Or even a junction of the three? What was known at the time was that Philliphe's grief was too great and deserved a joint reflection and a subsequent direction. A new life, so to speak, he sought and deserved after so many particular tragedies.
Ending the hug, they finish the drink, they call the waiter, he brings the bill, they get up, they go to the cashier and they pay. After, with long strides, they leave the restaurant and come back the same way towards the bus station. In ten minutes, they are there, they go to the counter, buy the tickets to Cabrobó and sit in the cement armchairs waiting. It would be more than thirty minutes of anguish until the arrival of the driving.
In this interval, they talk a little more with each other and with other people, they listen to music, buy popcorn and admire the traffic that at the moment is very busy. They take turns in these activities until the arrival of the bus that appears in the expected time. They rise from the cement armchairs, and with steady, wide strides, they approach the drive in the scorching sun, which causes shivers and sweats.
With a few more steps, they get into the car and as usual, they pick up the front seats. They relax, talk to each other and moments later with everyone inside is finally given the start. Toward the fate of the three, in yet another complicated and challenging episode.
It began a long monotonous journey, tiresome and distressing, but inspiring for all. On their part, they were willing to make every effort to achieve success, solve their personal problems, learn a little more. But that alone was not enough to succeed. Unknown forces were still involved in the adventure, the light-dark confrontation was very present, the Maktub hid more and more and involved both types of destiny. It was all a matter of time and they would have to wait. From Arcoverde to Cabrobó it would be approximately 250 km (200 km) that could be covered counting the stops in approximately four to five hours.
The great crossing begins...the three strive to spend time in the most comfortable way possible. While the seer takes advantage to read a good book, Philliphe sleeps next and Renato talks animatedly with a girl on the other bench. Her name is Michelle Lopes. Let's see how our august character comes out in dialogue.
— Hi, my name is Renato and yours?
— Michelle Lopes. From where you?
—I live in the Serra of Ororubá, near the district of Mimoso-Pesqueira-Brazil and you?
—In Arcoverde anyway. How old are you?
—Fifteen and you?
—Eighteen. Beginning the Faculty of Pedagogy. And you? Do you study too?
—Yes. I'm in the first year of high school. Study in the city of Pesqueira in the college Christ King.
— Ah, that's good. Very well! I see it's a good college.
—It is true. But it is as the saying goes, who makes the college is the student.
—I agree. And besides studying, what do you do?
—I support my mother at home, and professionally I am a writer's assistant. I am an adventurer of the celebrated seer.
—Oh! Cool. Congratulations! How is it?
—It's like that. Opportunities, adventures arise and we engage in problem solving. We're already in episode four.
— Wonderful! I was curious. Could you tell me a little about this experience?
— Yes of course. In the first episode, the goal was to reunite the "opposing forces". Me and my colleague the seer, using our art made a trip in time and fell in the early twentieth century, a Mimoso dominated by colonels and a bad witch. For thirty days, we had the opportunity to investigate the injustices, and by gathering the facts we realized the total imbalance of the opposing forces and the suffering of a young girl named Christine, dominated by a perverse and bloodthirsty father. After many attempts, we reached an agreement with the darkness, a battle that would decide the destiny of all. And so, it was done. In a great war under the control of the seer and the celestial force, we were able to finally defeat the force of darkness and restore peace. Everything has improved, so we can help Christine be truly happy. Having completed this work, we made the journey back to our time and was written the first title of the series with suggestive name: Opposing forces. The mystery of the cave. A time later, the seer came to us on the mountain full of inquiries about his dark night of the soul, when he turned away from God, he sank into sin, being totally dominated by his messenger and the respective power of darkness. my mother and the Hindu prepared him for the capital sins. However, not all efforts were able to soothe him. It was then suggested that we take a trip to an island where the kingdom of angels was located where we might heal our troubles and find the revelation that was needed. On the way, we boarded a pirate ship, we had incredible adventures with stigmatized people and we still had the opportunity to learn more about the dark night. With luck, after many breakdowns, we managed to reach the promised island. We live other experiences until we get the promised revelation. The book's quest is: Could it be that a criminal recovers the moment he is sunk in the dark night? Or is the likely recovery just a palliative for an even darker night? After the revelations, we completed our work and returned to our home with another mission accomplished. The result was the second book in the series entitled "The Dark Night of the Soul". Already in the third book, I helped the seer rebuild his own history and the development of his gifts. On the way, we find an incredible light master named Angel who directed us to another vision. What she revealed was a northeastern contrast in the early twentieth century, focused on a group's battle for justice, equality and freedom of expression. Inspired by this story, we were finally able to make the link between the world of that time and the present, with its differences and similarities, achieving the miracle of the "Meeting between the two worlds", title of history. And this is it. Now we are going to meet again with inexplicable fate.
— How interesting. Congratulations to both of you. Success will surely come.
—Thank you. What brings you on this trip?
— I have relatives in Cabrobó and I intend to visit them. I do this at least once a year.
— Who do you live with?
— I live with my parents and another brother. And you?
—With my foster mother. My biological mother died and my father lost my guard because he beat me a lot.
—I'm sorry. I wonder how hard your childhood must have been.
—Very complicated indeed. But I survived. I thank my mother and the seer for having supported me so much and believed in me.
— By the way, is he here?
— Yes. Is the one in front with armchair.
—Thank you. Excuse me.
Michelle Lopes got up, took two steps forward, and gently clapped her hands in front of the concentrated seer engaged in the reading of an interesting book. Reluctantly, he turned his attention away and focused it on Michelle's striking face and silhouette in jeans, a pink cotton blouse and sandals. He smiled and gently communicated.
—Yes. What do you want, lass?
—My name is Michelle Lopes, and by talking to one of your colleagues, I've heard your story. Could you give me a hug?
— Of course. My name is Aldivan Teixeira Torres. But I am also known as a seer or son of God. Feel free.
—Thanks.
The seer got up, Michele leaned closer, and with a step forward the embrace finally came. Aldivan was moved with such kindness shown by a stranger. That is why he did not expect it, and with each passing moment, his dream of conquering the world became more palpable.
When the embrace closed, the seer sat back and gently resumed the conversation.
—Sit down here, Mrs. Michelle, let's talk a bit, because we still have half a way to go. (Invited the seer)
—Thanks. Will not I bother?
— Nothing. Not at all, at ease.
Half disgraceful, Michelle nodded and sat down. Because she was skinny, space was enough for her. At the same time, the seer put the book in his bag to pay attention to his new friend. Luckily, they did not wake up Philliphe and then the conversation was resumed.
— Renato told me the vicissitudes of you. Tell me, what's it like living this?
— Very cool. You know, I love this mister. With each new mission completed, I feel more prepared to move on and win.
—I understand. I feel like this with pedagogy, I love children and it is very useful to collaborate with their development.
— Of course. Each is part of the aggrandizement and evolution of society. You're to be congratulated, too.
—Thanks. And what is writing for you?
— Something natural like eating, studying or working. One of my faces. And for you, what is teaching?
— A passion. Despite the great challenges that education imposes on us, it is comforting.
— Literature is also a challenge. I was born in a country without much literary tradition possessing a great pocket of poverty and where the average number of books read per year is only one per person.
— Damn it! And this does not discourage you?
— No way. The greater the challenge, the greater is my willingness to win and I direct every effort to do so.
— Very commendable. I need to learn to be like that, too. The problem is the great obstacles in the way.
—I was not always like this. This is something acquired only through experience. How old are you?
—Eighteen and you?
— Almost thirty-one. It is explained. You will have enough time to learn the paths of success and happiness.
— I hope so. What are you going to look for in Cabrobó?
—We are going to the village called the Desert Crossing to meet us. Do you know it?
— I've never been, but I've heard of it. Good choice. They speak much of their magical properties and some consider it sacred. Good luck.
—Thank you.
—Well, I'm going back to my corner. Much pleasure, Aldivan and success in your walk.
—I wish the same for you.
— Goodbye.
Michelle got up, greeted the seer with a kiss on her face and walked away. She returns to the side of Renato who was already annoyed by his absence. The conversation again unfolds between the two on various subjects as the bus advances. Cabrobó was approaching.
About half an hour later, they finally arrive. The bus stops and everyone comes down with their heavy suitcases. Gently, Michelle says goodbye and only the three musketeers remain: Renato, the seer and Philliphe. Together, they go to the filling point that was next to the bus station and hire one of the cars. They put the luggage in the suitcase, greet the driver, get in the car and finally the match is given. Towards the desert crossing!
The short distance of fifteen kilometers is traveled with much excitement and energy on the part of the members of the trip. More than anxious, they were happy with their detached attitude toward life. And that new emotions and knowledge would fill their thirsty souls.
The car, a gray van, enters the main street of the village and stops right in the center, next to a square. The trio goes down, picks up the bags, pays the ticket, says goodbye to the driver and right there in the center, they find a hostel. With a few steps, they enter it and even without having booked the stay, they get lodging next to the owner of the establishment that her name was Luiza for all three. After hitting the bases, they will rest from the long journey. What awaited them in this instigating adventure? Keep following, readers.
Two hours later, travelers wake up simultaneously. One at a time, they get up from bed, take a bath, have a snack in the kitchen, brush their teeth, get together and decide to start the great crossing that was marked in their respective destinations. In order to do this, they pack their bags and leave the hostel. Gathering information, they hire two young people experienced in this type of adventure. They are Rafael Potester and Uriel Ikiriri.
The group goes to the great desert of Cabrobó with all the necessary devices to spend a few days in that inhospitable place. It would be possible? Even though it sounded crazy, the visitors did not seem to care. On the contrary, they seemed quite animated.
On the way to the entrance of the desert, a total of eight hundred meters (800 m), they used to know each other better and to distract some of the mission that was very complicated. Follow some passages.
—What exactly are you looking for in the desert? (Asked Rafael)
—We see a little more of ourselves and the force that commands us. (Summarized the seer)
— We still want to help our friend Philliphe in his personal affairs. (Complementary Renato)
—Got it. (Rafael)
— What questions would they be? (Uriel was interested)
—I want to heal my despair that has settled down since I lost my whole family in a car accident. I want to understand why all this is the best way to please God. (Philliphe explained)
—Complicated indeed. It is as the saying goes, God writes right by crooked lines and it is not for us to judge. But this questioning is interesting, go ahead. (Uriel)
—You can count on us on this great adventure. We will be your angels. (Pronounced Rafael)
— Oh, thank you, we will need it. (The seer nodded)
—I feel more relaxed. (Renato declared)
—Thank you for the interest and we are also at your disposal. (Philliphe)
—Where are you from? (Rafael)
— I and Renato are from Pesqueira and our friend Philliphe from Arcoverde. And you? (The Seer)
— We are from here and the universe at the same time. (Replied mysteriously Rafael)
— I did not understand. (The seer verified)
— Neither. (Reinforced Philliphe)
—What do you mean? (Wanted to know Renato, incredulous)
—What my colleague meant is that we all have a divine origin. We have a corporeal and a spiritual birth. Is not that right, Rafael? (Intervened Uriel)
—Exact. (Rafael)
—You're awesome. (The Seer)
—I would say philosophers. (Philliphe)
—Or maybe Angels. (Renato concluded)
— You believe in this, boy? (Uriel)
—Yes. For all that I have lived, I do not doubt anything. (Renato)
— That's right. (Uriel)
—As I said, we will in a way. And this is enough for now. (Rafael)
—It's ok. (Conformed the curious Renato)
— Let's continue then. Follow us and beware of venomous animals. (Uriel recommended)
—Ok. (The Trio of visitors)
The group drew even closer to the entrance to the great desert. With another hundred yards they passed the fence that divided the ground and began to walk on the interesting and mystical place full of dust, stones and a scorching sun. What awaited them? The next chapters promised.
The first day
Heat up some more. Even so, the group remains steadfast in its purpose in that desert vastness. There, at that moment, everything was at stake and they could not even think about failing. However, it was not within their power to manipulate God's designs, much less fate that were uncontrollable.
They complete five hundred meters. At this very moment, a cold breeze blows softening the heat that suffocated everyone. Philliphe, the more mature, suggests a pause and the the others grant it; therefore, the limit of each should be respected. They take the break to resume the conversation.
—Where exactly do you want to take us, Uriel and Raphael? (Philliphe questions)
—Against your destiny. (Rafael)
—Can you be more specific? (The Seer)
— I explain. In this desert, there are ten spiritual cities each with a great expert in the various human areas. With their help, we can unveil "God’s code" which encloses the will of the divine in relation to the behavior of creatures. We believe that your pretensions will be satisfied. (Uriel)
— Splendid. That is exactly what we are looking for! (Marvelous Renato)
—Is it still far from the first city? (Philliphe)
— Calm. We hardly started. (Uriel)
—Can we continue? (Rafael)
— It's all right with me. (The Seer)
—I too. I've had enough rest. (Philliphe)
— Let's go then! (Renato consented)
The walk is then resumed. With each step, they felt more confident and convinced than they even wanted even if the challenge was gigantic. Luck was thrown next to two mysterious young men who appeared to be from another world by the way they acted. Keep going always!
Time passes a little. We arrived at fourteen o'clock and the group went to a second time for lunch. Rafael and Uriel take the kettle from their backpack and kindly distribute it among their travel partners. It would be the only meal of the day and they would only eat in the promised city again.
During lunch, they happily talk, listen to music, hydrate themselves and put on sunscreen because the sun was still strong. At that very moment, they remained with faith, claw and hope, though a little anxious and nervous. But this was already expected because they were about to discover a great mystery and even find meaning for their troubled lives, specifically in Philliphe's case.
They finish the meal in thirty minutes and they are on their way back to the first city that was still far away. Luckily, they could get there at the end of the night. So, every minute was important and the guides were keen to point this out.
They remain steadfast in the course and the feelings that predominate at the moment are the same although at every moment fate is closer. In addition to these, the homesickness begins to beat hard for the trio because they were accustomed to amenities that there in the desert would not find. Especially the seer who still had mother and brothers who helped him in all tasks.
Two more hours pass without further news and no living soul. The fatigue weighs on everyone by the long route already traveled and by the inhospitable climate that sucked their energies. As if calling for help, The Seer and Philliphe suggest another stop. The others accept and in the next eight minutes take advantage to drink plenty of liquids, eat something and receive guidance from the guides. After, they go forward and promise to walk uninterruptedly for another three hours. What a marathon!
In the period that has already been mentioned, they slow down but continue with the regular strides. When the light goes down once and for all, the guides use powerful flashlights that allow visibility. When the three o'clock is over, a new stop. This time it would be about thirty minutes.
In addition to the basic hydration, they decide to sit in circles in that dusty and hard soil. Side by side, the conversation inevitably arises.
— How much longer to get to town? (Asked the impatient Philliphe)
—Calm. Approximately two and a half hours. (Rafael)
—What is her name? (Renato)
— Familyng. (Uriel)
—Why this name? (The Seer)
—Because they consider themselves a great family and follow some basic precepts. Arriving there, we'll look for Isael.
— Cool. Got it. (The Seer)
— Any more information? (Rafael)
—No. Enough. (Philliphe contented himself)
—It's fine with me, too. (Renato)
They continued their rest in peace and silence. After the thirty minutes, they gathered the remaining energies and resumed the walk. Now the fate of the team was about to unfold.
In the remaining course, they had some problems: Renato had been stung by a scorpion and luckily the guides had brought the antidote and applied it immediately. He will improve. Besides, Philliphe had exhausted his strength because of his age and had to be helped. Glad they were close. At that point, Rafael and Uriel uttered words in another language, and then the portal had opened. Familyng showed in all its splendor and visitors were allowed to enter.
After passing the portal, they began to walk the narrow streets with their slopes of the tiny Familyng with its seven thousand inhabitants. The guides took them to a hostel in the main square in order to rest since it was past 10:00 pm. When they arrived at the hotel, they found the bases of the evening in the waiting room and, with certainty, went to the rooms (two). The guides stayed in one and guided them in another.
Immediately after arriving in the rooms in their respective beds, the members of the teams fell asleep. It had even been a long trip for those who were not used to it. They would dream of the next day that promised great news. Until the next chapter, readers!
Part II - Familyng
2.1- Values
Dawns. Soon the trio formed by Renato, Philliphe and the seer wake up and after fulfilling their basic needs like going to the bathroom, drinking coffee, brushing their teeth and wearing clean clothes decide to wake up the guides that they had not yet raised.
With the permission of the owner, they take the key and with her help they open the door, they approach the dormitories and delicately shake Rafael and Uriel. The strategy works and even with the scare they do not get upset. Then they join the group, take a shower and eat breakfast. After this, they leave the inn and after walking a little they arrive in the square and meet in the same with the guest Isael who had been warned by telephone.
