Chapter Five
Behold there was a man who lived in a cave, for he had done so since he was a small child. No one in the city knew where this man came from, for he had been dumped in the cave by his parents. The man would scream at whoever came near him, refusing to wear anything but rags, and the people of the city complained. The elders of the city went to Harold to see if the Light could help them.
Harold said, "Have you come to learn of the Light, or are you here for your own benefits? Have you come to help another, or have you come to help yourself? For who comes to the Light with selfish intentions will neither receive the Light nor be known as one of our own."
Max was disturbed, seeing his friend regret the city's elders. Although it was in public, Max rebuked Harold.
He said, "Did the Sun bring forth the Light only to feed the plants, but to also allow us to see right and wrong? While a man may come to the Light for selfish reason, it is our responsibility to teach him the true path and put away selfish things. Behold we are but little children in the eyes of the Light, and all can learn its ways."
The Elders replied, "Although we come firstly through selfish means, we also feel for this person's wellbeing. When it comes to protecting the community, even the weakest most vulnerable members must be cared for. Mental illness is a struggle we must over come as a society, and not ostracize those that are different."
Max said, "Wise words from wise people. As a single person we are weak, but as a group we can be the mightiest. We will heal this man you have us about. For the Light's embrace he will know what it is like to be a member of the community. For everyone within the Light's embrace is its brother and its sister."
And so, they travelled to the cave where the man was yelling. The man screamed, and a demon shadow appear behind the man. Max came forth and began to chant.
He said, "Behold the Light, the for the Darkness cannot withstand. Demon, begone from this man, so that he can embrace the Light and know true happiness."
And so, the Dark Spirit went from the man, and the man became sane again. From that day onwards, the man became an outstanding member of the city, blessing the Light and telling everyone of its miracles. As a witness to this miracle, this testimony is true, and writes this so that all can believe.
The elders begged Max to stay, for he had only been there but a week. Max rebuked them, informing them the Light had to spread everywhere, and that no man could stop its spread.
Max said, "Although I may not be here in person, I will be in Spirit. For whoever believes in the Light are one and the same being."
