After finally finishing with his work that was assigned the man known as Eli lay down on the couch he was provided. His brown eyes stared at the ceiling even though all he saw was the all pervading blackness that had plagued him his entire life. He rubbed his recently shaved head as he relaxed his body. He made one final prayer to God for all that he was given and prayed for protection of the friend he made, a young girl named Solara. The bullet wounds in his body bothered him but he ignored them and instead closed his weary eyes. Finally he would rest.

When he opened his eyes he was greeted to whiteness and a feeling of calm that he hadn't felt in a long time. Eli stared at his hands and saw them for the first time in his life. They were a rich brown and without any scarring. He touched them to feel if they were real. Eli laughed as he could finally see for the first time. "I truly am in Heaven aren't I?" Eli asked himself.

"Yes you are. Hello Eli." A disembodied voice said to him. It was indescribable, the voice sounded as if it were many voices all at once, male and female, high and low, even young and old. The only thing that was similar with all the voices was the feeling of calmness that emanated from it.

"Is that you Lord?" Eli asked.

"Yes it is my child." The voice responded with an extra amount of warmness.

"Did I accomplish my mission? And is Solara well?" Eli asked.

"Yes, you did wonderfully. And you friend is still alive and spreading your gospel to others. But I must ask of you to do one more thing," The voice said.

"What would you have me do?" Eli asked.

"I ask you to help one of my counterparts in another world by giving his essence to one who is worthy." A worn leather-bound book with a cross and a lock on its side appeared in Eli's hands. It had a familiar warmth to it that made Eli cherish it.

"In that book is the essence of my alternate counterpart." The voice said to Eli.

"But why is the essence of your alternate self in this book?" Eli asked.

"It is because my alternate counterpart has died. Before his death, he made preparations by finding another version of himself which was me and giving me some of himself." The voice said to Eli.

"How did your other self die?" Eli asked with a slight frown. The voice sighed before responding,

"He died due to a war that involved two other factions besides the Angels of Heaven. The main one was that of the Devils and the other was that of Fallen Angels. There was such a waste of life in that war." The voice said with a large sign of disappointment. Eli found himself sitting on a bench the next moment. Sitting next to him was a being that was indescribable. It was constantly shifting from male to female as well as age and race. Emanating from it was a soft glow. The figure turned to Eli and put it's hand on his shoulder.

"Eli, you are one of the most determined men I have seen in my life. That is why I want you to do this one final act. It is your choice on if you wish to accept this." The figure said.

"Then I will walk once again. What is one more day when it is used to help others?" Eli said to the figure.

"Thank you. Now Eli, this world is unlike yours in many ways. First the supernatural and holy forces are a large part of the world even if normal people do not know it. The second reason is because the war that happened in your world never happened in this one. Civilization is quite alive there. And finally the third is that there are special humans out there. They contain within them objects called sacred gears. They were made by my counterpart and they grant special abilities." The figure said with the tone of a teacher.

"Then send me to there and I will find who is worthy of fulfilling God's role." Eli responded. Eli felt great warmth emanating from the figure.

"Then I will send you on your next journey but not before preparing you for your travels. First I give you the gift of tongues so that all beings may understand you," The figure said while putting it's hand under Eli's jaw and rubbed it's thumb on his lips. "Next I gift you with eternity so that you may see to the end of your task," The figure said before it removed it's hand from Eli's shoulder and putting it over Eli's heart. "Finally I gift you with my prescience so that animals will aid you," The figure said as it leaned it's head onto Eli's brow.

It removed it's head and hands from Eli and stared at him. "Now Eli, go with your gifts and walk your path." The figure said with a finality before tapping Eli's forehead. Eli felt a darkness surround him before he woke up to feel grass underneath his hands. He decided to open his eyes and saw to his blessed relief that he could still see. His blindness that pervaded him in his previous life was gone. The colors around him were beautiful to him. He also noticed that he was covered in clothing of his previous life. The green hooded coat, the gray long-sleeved shirt, his beige cargo pants, and his tennis shoes were all on him.

Eli pushed himself off the ground and into a sitting position. He noticed next to himself was a large canvas backpack with the knobbed end of a shotgun popping out of the top. Laying on the side of the bag was a sheathed machete. Propped on the front of the bag was a note. Eli stood up and walked over to the bag and the note. Eli picked the note up and felt it. Instead of familiar bumps he was greeted to lettering which he could read.

Eli, I have given you all your previous items for this journey. I have also updated your weaponry to fight the creatures you will encounter. I have also upgraded your ipod. Good luck my son. May you find your way.

Eli smiled at this and picked up his machete. He strapped it to his back and then grabbed his backpack and put it on his back. The note was stuffed into his pants pocket but he also felt something else in his pocket as well. He pulled it out to reveal a pair dark tinted glasses with silver rims. Eli put these on before checking his other pocket. In it was an ipod which Eli put the earbuds attached to it on and turned it on. Eli then closed his eyes and started walking. "I walk by faith, not by sight." He said to himself as he walked.

Unknown to Eli his arrival was not unfelt throughout the world. Beings of both supernatural origin and humans with a connection to the supernatural felt a massive prescience enter the world. Those who were old enough to recognize this feeling were able to remember to whom this belonged to.
