44 The God Reckoning Tribulation (1/2)
Elric lost his mind and everything went blank. A deafening silence has overwhelmed his only remaining consciousness. It was a feeling worse than death.
Sadness, agony, helplessness, hopelessness, and loneliness. They all covered his very soul.
Why? If only this was a dream, but sadly it's not.
His heart continued to cry in misery. He could only blame himself and no one else. How could a simple act of leaving his home resulted in so much death?
Questions continued to pour out in his heart. He was broken and has lost his will to live.
”You have to let it all go.”
A voice suddenly came out of the darkness.
Elric's consciousness was reawakened from the warm and gentle voice. It was like a comforting voice from a loving father talking to his son. It was pleasing, relaxing and seems to wash away all the pains and suffering.
It was a liberating voice.
”Why do you hold on to it? It's not like it is the end.” The voice continued.
” Your life has just begun... Elric.”
And like a spark, a realization dawned on Elric's mind. All of his memories flashed again like a passing star. This time, what he saw are not the painful or sad moments but all the blessings he had in his life. The fun and joyful moments devoid of malice and hate.
Elric could see the smile of his parents when he was born. He could see when he blew the candles from his birthday cake while his young neighbor and friends sang the happy birthday song for him.
They all sand with gladness and happiness. Elric could not help but cry in happiness as he saw the gentle smile from his parent's faces.
He can see the scene when he came hope waiving his perfect score from the elementary exam and getting a pat from his mother and father. They were so proud of him and so is he to himself. He could see how his classmates cheered for him during a successful school presentation and how it boosted his confidence.

The moments when he and his best friend, Jim, skipped school to steal Mrs. Eding's huge and delicious guava fruits only to get chased by the bees. They went home laughing from each other's swollen faces.
He recalled how he met his first crush and how his heart beats wildly from her presence. The day he dedicated his first salary to his grandma only to see her cry in happiness.
And lastly, the contented smile on her face before she got devoured. It was an eye of calmness and contentment. It was the real definition of love and happiness and acceptance of fate.
And like a revelation, a series of realization poured out in Elric's mind.
”Life is the movement of time and things. Everything comes and goes. Let go of your attachments and discover the boundless power of your light.”
Elric's eyes are closed but open to the wisdom of light. His soul shines in holy divine light.
”It is time Elric. Wake up.” said the warm and mysterious voice.
Suddenly, Elric's vision was warped in white. He felt the heat and power gushing out of his body.
He gained back control of his physical body and the blinding light was slowly melting the darkness all over his body.
