Great Buzzard Eli James IV · **06-25-2013, 07:30 AM**

Eli James is sitting in a rocking chair at a small house outside on the porch. He's whistling to some tune and starts to sing with an awful off-key raspy voice.

Eli James IV "At His call the dead awaken.... Rise to life from earth and sea...All the powers of nature shaken....By His look, prepares to flee....Careless sinner, what will then become of thee? You will judge the nations... You’ll reward Your servants... Both the great and small. Your hand shall find out every foe.... And as a fiery furnace glows... With raging heat and living coals... They will feel your wrath upon their souls.

Eli stops singing when a lady dressed like a cook walks from the door and hands pours Eli some more sweet tea. Eli ignores her and continues to be in a trance by looking out at mother nature. The lady walks back inside the home. Eli starts back up with his singing.

Eli James IV "When they sinned and fell astray.. Bound for hell and chains of darkness... To their doom on Judgment Day. Listen, wicked ones, all who stand opposed to him... You will soon be done, He will surely come again.

Eli stops singing and goes to humming hymnal tunes like "How Great Thou Art" and "I'll Fly Away". The lady comes back out with a plate that has cube steak, rice with gravy, and a big pile of green beans. She sits it on a table beside Eli James. She turns to walk back in, but is caught off guard by Eli.

Eli James IV "Grace? Have a seat for a minute, girl.

The lady revealed as Grace nods and goes to grab a little stool-like chair from the other side of the porch. She puts it on the other side of the square table and sits down.

Eli James IV "Grace. Why do people continue to think I'm an evil man? Because I bring a message of truth? It's not for my benefit to get them to repent. It's for their benefit. They seem to think I get somethin in return, like a large pile of money. Don't they see I already have that? Riches in this world I have already gained by hard work with my hands and with my mind. I'm a nice man, aren't I Grace?

Grace nods.

Eli James IV "I give you all places to stay in.. job security.. paycheck every week.. plus you get to hear the message that works on the depths of our soul and prepares us for the next life. The eternal life. You get wealth here and you get wealth there. Am I missing something?

Grace opens her lips but no sound comes out. Eli looks at her and waits a few seconds.. but still nothing comes out.

Eli James IV "I'm fighting again in a few days against some boy called Mystica. He thinks he's some sort of priest, hehe. I've seen many of those.

Eli then somewhat ignores Grace being there and talks looking out at mother nature as if Mystica was in front of him.

Eli James IV "I'll tell ya what, man. You want respect? You're right about a few things. We both aim for a higher purpose and to cleanse the world of its filth. At least someone 'round here understands a little part of something above and beyond. In the ring.. you're a fighting man. You fought hard Saturday night. So in the two regards of your ability in the ring and some sort of thought of a higher power.. I'll give ya that respect. It's just a shame you're stuck following a cloudy illusion than the truth. My world could use someone like you. Dedicated.. Loyal.. Fighter.. but ya got your own thing goin. The respect and common ground is there. But there's also a bit of difference between us and that's where I have some issues. Understand that what I'm about to say just me talkin the truth. I ain't knocking you. In fact, I kinda like ya man. It's the world you're in that I don't like. You may or may not know about some things in my world. Ya see.. in my world everything is clear. There's no muddy thoughts.. no foggy vision.. it's a line that divides truth from lies. It's good you're talkin to me at the first coming. The second, like I've said, won't be a pretty one. One thing you have to understand is, while respect is there, I cannot accept your world anything above mine. See, man.. in my world there's one way.. one Almighty.. and anyone that opposes is in the way of my purpose.. they are a target of judgment.. sitting in a puddle of wrath that has yet to be unleashed. Since we're on a nice little talk, man.. I've given opportunities to guys and they push it off aside. How much harder will the judgment be on those souls!

Eli starts laughing as if he is enjoying the thought of the judgment to come on those who have rejected his offer. After laughing for a minute, his laugh gets slower and starts back talking.

Eli James IV "Mystica, man. Don't make this difficult. Join me. Turn from the illusion path and follow the light. It's coming. In fact, it's here but only hidden to all eyes that are not yet opened. It's only a matter of time before everyone gets haunted by the ghosts of judgment. Tell your god you're goin on a journey of truth. All you have to do is tell me, man. Tell me you accept the truth and the way of Eli James the Fourth.. and it's a new beginning.. a new found purpose for ya, man. A new song will be in your heart. Come on, man. If not.. I'm afraid of.. what might happen.. Hehehe. See ya soon.
