Great Buzzard Eli James IV · **02-03-2015, 10:43 PM**

Eric and Lacey were doing their best to help me remember certain things, but I now wonder if they are leaving things out. One minute I saw that Eric was a wild and confused individual, and the next he was wearing a mask. A bit of a deranged individual. They told me I was talking and screaming in my sleep.. begging to die and rot in the Earth. I don't remember dreaming anything resembling that, but it could be my spirit speaking through me.

Eric tells me some of the things I've said that I've been watching were a joke. He says I liked to make people laugh, but I'm not so sure that he's telling the truth. I remember bits and pieces, but then I shake it off. Could I have done all that? Killing people. Nailing a man and woman to a cross. Winning championships and just handing them away like I were Santa Claus. One minute I would talk about the goodness of Almighty... the mercy and justice he would bring and the next... I was dark. Light and darkness cannot exist together. Darkness is only around when the light is absent. Who am I? Who am I really?

Due to the cold weather, Eli has a small fire burning in the barn to keep himself warm. He has the door slightly opened just so he can watch the snow fall from the sky like he's not use to seeing it. Eric's dogs are barking in the distance. Other than that, it's quite peaceful outside with limited noise except what Eli is hearing...

"You were chosen to speak my words, and you did. I've called many to accomplish tasks that were uncomfortable, and few went through with it. You joined those few elite men and women to speak for me to my creation. I showed you special revelation and you spoke it with a fire on your tongue and thunder in your voice. You were but a deer strolling through the woods and placing your lips by a quiet stream. Your pockets had no holes and you were well kept. Your name was strong and your family labored the ground. You knew hard work and you knew my name. You yielded to me and allowed the usage on yourself as my work. I showed you the way and you took the steps. Your memory will fade. Your body will become weak. Your voice that was once loud will be silence. Do not fear, for this is what I showed you in the Garden. You taught truth and allowed me to work in your heart. You followed the path and ushered in my name. I will not be forgotten. You will be remembered too, Eli. The deeds you did and words you spoke will never be a shadow. They are forever. They are eternal. This is the next step in accomplishing my will. You must decrease, for I must increase. You lost battles, but you have won the war. As I have told you, it was never about championships... wins... crowds... support. If it were, my message of truth would only be temporary. Championships will come and go.. be renamed.. won and lost. Wins and losses will arrive on everyone's name. People will flock and change their minds everyday. It is my word that does not change, and you, Eli, have stood the course. They mocked you. They mocked me. And here you stand truer to the words you spoke than any man. Let them continue to lie to each other and be a mockery to themselves. I chose you, Eli. They are weak, and you are strong. They will bathe in their tiny victories and think it's all uphill, but the waters will rise.. they will sit and soak in their own filth without realizing it will tear them apart. Let them sing praises to each other. Their song will be a one hit wonder. In time, they will fade away from the dust of the Earth and minds of the people."

"Almighty. Thank you for choosing me. But I was pushed into fighting a man I remember having a past about. He calls himself the Lord of Darkness. He sits on a throne and has his own messenger like he's a king. He lurked behind and waited to be King of the XWF, but he never rose from his Lordship. He failed as a leader to the Brotherhood. He failed as a truth teller when he couldn't make up his mind to fight John Madison or carry his bags. What shall I do with him?"

"You shouldn't take any worry with him, or any man. All they can speak are words, Eli. A child can speak words and not make any sense, except to them. While they may be older in age, their minds are but a child compared to mine. I've heard all the words he had to say towards you, Eli. He pokes fun of your memory. Sebastian Duke said, 'What surprises me the most out of your very sad promo is the part where you can't remember anything yet you can 'remember' that I was a bag boy for the Black Circle...' He doesn't know who I am nor will he ever understand. I allow people to choose what they want to believe. Some choose to believe I do not exist, and others believe I do. Sebastian can look at how you remember him and not other things, but it's because I allowed it. Can cancer destroy one body and take it as a victim... and be destroyed in another body where they live without it coming back? Who can answer that? Can Sebastian Duke, in his finite wisdom, tell me where the wind comes from? Was he there when the mountains were formed by my hand? Could he walk on the sun and not be consumed in flames? He will say what a finite mind will say, Eli. You, like them, are merely finite creatures with limited abilities. It is when I show a revelation to you that a mind becomes opened and sensitive to truth. He chooses to talk to you like a child roaming the playground so he can show his buddies he's the tough man. If you utter the words, 'I quit'.. then what does that prove? It proves you are a mere man whose time is fading. It proves what you've already told them... that you are a human. You have skin. You breath the same air. The truth of the matter is that regardless of your outcome in this little battle.... the core of the message will not change. Sebastian Duke cannot make up his mind. He is like a wave in the ocean. There is no foundation. Sometimes he comes in without power and other times people are moving because of the destruction. If he wins, he'll have another win under his belt and yet will still be a liar and a weak child. He wanted you to rise up and give it everything because he needs a mere win to people will fear him once again. He is the one that focuses on the wins and losses even if he says he doesn't. His words don't mean anything. He is like a lion. A lion is feared.. a lion is the king of the jungle... a lion is hunter... so when someone comes face to face with one... they remember all they were taught and tremble. But to a man who was taught how to defend and prepare... a lion is another cat. Sebastian Duke, the Lord of Darkness, is a myth he has tried to push onto people for years and you defeated him once. You called him out on all his lies. A self-proclaimed Lord of Darkness, but when the darkness disappears, then who is he? It's why he surrounds himself in darkness. He needs it to be a someone. He needs the messenger, the dark throne, and all that comes with it to be relevant. He wants to be on a pedestal in peoples hearts. He has succeeded many times, but who is he before my truth? A man who is guilty of a crime, yet set free because the lack of evidence can tell people he was found innocent.. but that does not mean he is. It means the judgment was wrong. I do not get a judgment wrong. For I am just and righteous. No one will be able to stand before me innocent."

"So what happens to me? Will I return and spread the message of truth a little bit longer? Or will I..."

"It's not for you to know, Eli. I have revealed many truths to you to speak on my behalf. Your end is not something I will reveal."

Eli starts to daze off and on while watching the snow. At some point in the middle of the night, he wakes up sweating. He begins to laugh like he's back to his old self. He stands up in the barn and begins to walk around on the inside.. touching every inch of wood. He even rubs his face on it and begins kissing the dirty ground. He reaches his hands deep in the dirt and starts rubbing it on his face while smiling.

"It's clear to me now, man. Not everything I said since I've been on this Earth was meant to be understood. You'll never know why people do certain things or how their mind thinks. So why does everyone sit there and try to figure me out? I'm not crazy. In fact, I'm probably the most sane person that's walking this whole damn Earth.

What's that?

Hehehe.

Oh yea, man. I hear ya. I love how the limited think they are unlimited.

I see it, man. I do."

Eli walks outside into the snow and looks up into the sky.

"The stars. The moon. And above that... galaxies.. planets... more stars. It's endless. Sebastian Duke makes his claim that there's darkness out there surrounding these limitless lights. Heh. Are you the lord up there? Are you a spaceman? Do you lord over everything that has no light?"

Eli closes his eyes and smiles big.

"Uh oh, man. I can't see. I'm in darkness. I see nothing. Does this mean Sebastian is Lord over that? Hehehe..

Sebastian isn't a space man. He isn't lord of all that is darkness. But he is the Lord of Darkness. He's the lord of people who are BLIND and living in darkness! It's why he can lead a group of people and fail. It's why some still fear him after he carries John's bags and kisses his ass. Those who are blind and do not see light will follow him off a bridge. That's why he calls himself the Lord of Darkness. It's not evil. It's not spooky. It's blind leading the blind, man.

Evil exists under a bright sun and can be seen before all. Evil has been witnessed underneath street lights and in buildings.

'Oh Eli, you don't care about wins but you tout your win over me'. Oh, I didn't know I presented it every time I talked. Heh. Sebastian needs me talk about my win over him because it keeps his name in peoples minds. Sebastian starts a group.. leaves a group... disappears and returns... for the sake of being that myth people believe is true. If he beats me, I can't wait to hear his words. Will he tout a win over a crazy and weak man? Will it be the trophy he places on above all others?

Sebastian Duke.. heh. The name of a bitch. Maybe we should fight in darkness. That can be his specialty match. Imagine, eyes closed and fighting. Of course, he'd probably have his eyes open then after the win... say you he's the Lord of Darkness. No one will ever know.

It's time to come to the light. It takes a real man to live in the light.. with all the mistakes and sin because there's no hiding it. He shouldn't be afraid. After all, the light shows us who we really are.. unlike the darkness which hides it all. Who is the real man? Who is the real teller of truth?

Let my dirt fall into the bright snow so all can see how filthy Eli James is!"

Eli falls onto the ground after yelling to himself. He starts making a snow angel while laughing. After a few minutes pass by, he hears a strange noise coming from afar. Eli sits up and looks around, without removing the smile from his face. A person begins walking towards him...

It's.... Elisha!

He's carrying a dead deer under one arm and holding a dead rabbit in his mouth. He drops them both at Eli's feet and walks off.

"I'm coming home!!!"
