The Depths of Agate’s Light

There weren't always dragons in the Valley, “so that’s what they think dear one,” said a Giant to a Orphaned mistreated child. “I am Agate, I am a Giant, the keeper of Peace and Enlightenment. I am hear to help you, and in time you can help me.” Agate looks at the child with profound Expression on his face. “You see, there is a wonderful Euphoria amongst all the superficial dwellings, and what lies beneath is a entire different world, all the words and jargon that confused our intuition; only to leave words to rise within the civilisations; that now controls the ones who have not yet awakened!.”

“Young one, as time past; people forgot who they were, learning one thing that leads to the next thing, in amongst the day to day living, they forgot…” Agate closes his eyes and thinks about all the disturbances that have come and gone through out time, shaking his head in despair.

“They forgot their ancestors and forgot their ancient traditions,most of all; they forgot who they are inside. Working in unhappy environments; pushing through their days trying to make a simple dollar.”

Agate gasped !

“Arguments arose in between men, all the fighting started, people consistently mocking one another; corruption overruled riding the systems, people started loosing power; the strong ruled over the strongest in control, but it wasn’t enough.”

Agate stood up, looking out from the top of the hill, he stretch’s, looking down at the child, his arms rise up and widen, palms facing upwards, he stare’s out into the valley, “look up there in the clouds Young one, can you see that giant face?” “ Yes I can Agate, I feel like it’s my mum, as she is now in heaven.” Agate looked at the child, hmm he said in a humble sigh. The child say’s “you know Agate sometimes my hands feel big just like your hands, l feel like a giant, but they never look big.” Agate looks up in the air. sigh's out contentedly, In a tied voice Agate continues.

“War hit the grounds like no body ever seen it before, ruins all over the country; bodies left to rot, most of all; people where broken.”

Agate sat back down beside the little child. Overlooking the valley, a sunset is setting in, the night sky was emerging. Agate continues to speak to the child.

“The world had changed from how we all knew it, the love within families and friends had emerged into sadness; all that we had left was hope, hope we could see a life of dreams and happiness; forthcome within us again.”

Agate looks at the child, gave her a gentle pat on her head, Agate wisppered “in time we will see change.”

The homeless girl with a distressed face, fear in her eyes glanced at Agate, she replied in a silenced, broken; Vulnerable innocently shy voice, “Why did everybody stop loving each other?” Agate tilted his head downward, shook his head side to side and put his hand on his face “mmmmmm” Agate rumbles, then in a loud abrupt and ruling voice grumbled out “GREED” then Agate paused, looking down at the ground, with a humble voice he says “you see young one, a simple thing as greed! they all wanted too much; they forgot what respect was, let material over power, to rule their minds, regardless if it may have been family, friends, they wanted power and control; a great big fortress to prove how empowered they are!.” Agate leaned over and glanced at the young girl, smiled at her, said in a low profound voice, “You know young one, life is not about material things, there is entire different way of seeing life, without trying to possess the entire village; or killing one another for possessions, of course feeling the need for power and control.”

The Lilttle girl lifted her chin, looked up at Agate with a glazed look in her eyes, smiles, looks at Agate’s eyes, having a world of ideas streaming through her mind, she felt imdedatly content. Agate and the little girl started walking. “Everything seems so plain” said the little girl, Agate smirked and raised his eye brow, in just one moment a pine tree forest appeared, Agate turned to the little girl, said “what do you see?,” the girl said “trees,” Agate said “yes they are beautiful can you smell the fresh pine cones?” the little girl said in a extremely high and happy voice “yes it smells like mum, she used to make Christmas smell like pine trees, it feels like home.” Agate knew exactly what the girl was thinking, as he sighed in relief, he said to the the little girl “what is your name?” the little girl looked at him with a sad and lost face, a tear ran down her cheek, she said “I can’t remember…” Agate knew she was homeless, Agate had great understanding of all things; he knew this child’s past also knows this childs future.

Agate turned looked at her and within his power, his arms began to rise, then he looks up at the sky, takes a gigantic breath, looks back down at the child and blows the air on the child, he says “your name will be Crystal.”

Agate knew this was her earth name, yet in his mind he new a lot more then just Crystal!

Agate hadn’t told Crystal everything, he was hiding all he knew, as he was the wise one, that knew at her age, she is too young to understand the difference between knowing, as he knows one that wants to understand had to see the entire picture; and grow, go through the process to see, to find the enlightenment, to understand her inner self. Agate in a kind quiet voice asked Crystal “have ever had a pet?” Crystal stopped walking, drifting into a stare… Agate stood there, just let Crystal have a moment, after three or four minutes, Crystal looked at Agate and said “I don’t think I have….” then Crystal pauses…” but, I feel like there was something …” Crystal goes into deep thought.

“Crystal” said Agate, as Agate turned, scratch his head looked down at Crystal, he whispered to Crystal “what if I told you there is more than you can see,” Crystal’s eyes and mouth flared open, her voice got full of excitement “really…” she says in a nieve and inexperienced voice “I hope so” as she puts her hands together as to pray, resting her hands on her forehead. Crystal then looks up at Agate with a innocent and pure face, say’s “where is it?” Agate said “do you believe in god?” The little girl said with a blank look on her face, “who is he …” Agate said “he is the creator of the sky’s Earth and all things, we, us giant’s call him the Gift of Devine, when people die, they say they all go to heaven up in the sky.” Crystal replied “is that where my mummy is” Agate grabbed her wrist in a caring gentle way, said “yes and when you don’t need your body, you too will go there, we know other ways to understand this too, but you will see and hear that in time, as you develop.”

Agate looks at Crystal, asked in a inquisitive voice “have you ever known anyone called Phoebe?” Crystal replied “no” but she didn’t really give it some thought.

Agate knew Crystal was as innocent also very insecure, she needed nurturing.

Agate couldn’t wait for Crystal to understand, he was excited, he wanted to reveal it, yet couldn’t because he knows people need to understand and feel all things before they can comprehend all of what is going on.

But more exciting, Agate waiting to reveal the strength inside her. Agate with a wonderus look on his face turns and looks at Crystal, in a wise profound voice, he said “Crystal, in a moment those trees will part, the setting sun will appear, I want you to look at it” Agate knew her pure soul will immediately connect and shine, she was going to see part of her Destiny. Agate was waiting contently, as sunset kicked in, the trees start parting, Agate can see Crystal’s eyes opening wide, her dirty face lighting up with surprise, engaging into the golden light, Agate already knew she was the one. ©️ End of Chapter 1
