Great Buzzard Eli James IV · (06-26-2013)

Eli is walking with Emma-Lee on a rocky road in the middle of nowhere.

Eli James IV "I remember the last time I heard about Myst.. it was a video game. Maybe Mystica was up late.. without a job.. playing nonstop that video game and couldn't beat the thing.. maybe it was several hours in a row.. days.. weeks.. maybe that's what warped his mind to believe in a god or creature called Myst. Maybe he let sin creep inside his heart.. jealousy.. of people that did beat the game and wants revenge? Maybe someone put on a Halloween costume and scared him into thinking the creature from the game is real. I told ya, man.. our minds can play tricks on us. You thought you were gonna beat me for the Wildcard last Saturday, didn't ya? Funny how what you thought you were gonna do turned into an illusion, huh? And yet you still trust your mind, huh?

Emma-Lee just stares at Eli while he talks. Eli laughs a little and Emma joins in.

Eli James IV "I gave ya an opportunity, Mystica. Every person seems to want to ignore the truth and continue in their ways. I am not responsible for what happens in the coming of the Almighty's judgment. I cannot be held liable for the second coming of Eli James. May the scales soon fall off someone's eyes so they may also see the truth. I am building the Ark for the coming rain of wrath upon this sinful world and the door is open to any who wish to join me. Each time someone rejects, the door gets closer to shutting completely. The mercy of the Almighty is showing bright upon this place right now. It's what is keeping you all alive right now. It's what is keeping me still here. The Almighty's message is still in the midst of you all. Another opportunity can pass you by, but it's not certain. Do you dare challenge the judgment of the righteous One? Believe in your filth and lies! Drive your lives into a unending demolition derby.. bandage yourselves up now.. let time heal the broken pieces that remain. The time is getting close when the healing won't be near.. bandages extinct.. yet the demolition never ends. Mystica, why did you call me out? I was hoping for you to join me and let the light shine brighter before men. You wanna live in the darkness? You wanna live by death? Go ahead, man. I'll live in the light and stay with life. I'm far from needing safety, man. Kill this body of mine and my spirit resurrections strong. I'm not afraid. I don't fear what you or anyone can do to my body.. I fear only one .. that is the one who can destroy my soul... the Almighty. Mystica.. I'm giving you another chance. Leave Myst and join the light. Come follow the truth and you soul shall be set free.

Emma-Lee "Eli.. why do you keep askin people there to join the good Lord's cause? Don't they keep on rejecting?

Eli James IV "You are a sweet, innocent, and beautiful lady.. with a loving heart. Never lose that, darlin'.

Emma-Lee once again looks at Eli like she's in love with him or flattered by his nice words.

Eli James IV "If it were the old me.. I wouldn't give anyone a second thought. But, Emma-Lee.. remember the good Lord did a great work in us. He did a big work in my heart. I had bitterness, anger, lust, and a lot of other sins I confessed to him. It was a process but I was led to the light. He opened my eyes to see the truth and all its glory. You probably wouldn't have liked old Eli James..

Emma-Lee "Oh I think I would have.

Eli James IV "Maybe you played World of Warcraft?? More like World of WITCHCRAFT! Did you know the good Book says REBELLION is as the sin of WITCHCRAFT?!? You, Mystica, are in rebellion. You were offered the opportunity to join the light and you rebelled against it. Go ahead and try to make threats against me.

Eli stops and seems like he's in a trance. Emma just looks at him and doesn't say anything. After about one minute.. Eli snaps back and begins talking again with a concerned look on Emma's face.

Eli James IV "You think I fear the darkness that you or anyone else brings to my table? I've done told ya I don't fear any man this earth has. I'll eat any poison you try to give me at my table and in return.. you'll watch me laugh while the poison does nothing.

Eli then walks off somewhere in the woods and tells Emma-Lee to stay.

Emma-Lee "Oh, Mystica. Why would you reject him and his beautiful message? Why would your assitant warn Eli of your masters work? Eli already beat him to get into the Wildcard Elimination Chamber. Or did ya forget that? He's already been in the ring with 'em. He's not afraid of no man. No little god. No darkness. I think you and every'ne else misunderstands him. Everyone 'round here thinks they know the man. You can't. Once ya think you know 'em, he surprises ya with somethin different. Y'all should be afraid of what's coming. He's tryin to be nice to y'all. Why won't y'all listen? All he wants is his message to be heard. Y'all ignore it. Y'all just brush it off like it ain't nothin'. I understand a lot of people are afraid of somethin' different. Maybe afraid of something unknowable. I don't know. Since everyone seems to be ignoring his words, maybe I can help ya. Maybe you'll listen to me. Mystica.. Jonas.. or one of yer followers.. listen.. he opened the door for you and you spit on his face. He gave ya an opportunity.. twice.. and you ignored it. Everyone knows that's pretty dumb. Maybe you'll get another chance? Who knows except the Lord. But if ya don't, at least you had one. I'm sure you'll regret this before the second comin'. But by then it'll probably be too late.
