Chapter 9: Darrion Stahley
Darrion Stahley was overjoyed now that the Tribulation was finally over. She was so pleased to see Ryan Daley rewarded during the honoring of the martyrs at the Glorious Appearing. But Darrion was even more overjoyed to see her mother and father getting rewarded. Reuniting with them after the ceremony felt so glorious.
Darrion was glad that she and Ryan were spending more time together since the reunion. It was so wonderful to no longer have to worry about being hunted down by the Global Community.
Darrion was so afraid she would have been caught and executed by the Global Community. Luckily other believers, such as Mark and Natalie, spared her from that devastation. Then again, being executed wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world. She would have gotten a white robe and later a crown if she had faced the guillotine. She also would have reunited with her parents and Ryan much sooner.
Speaking of reunions, she was thrilled to be able to see her paternal uncle again, along with her aunt. Ken Stahley did not seem to hold any grudges against Darrion and her parents when they scoffed at him and Linda when they tried to warn them.
Days later, Darrion was pleased to meet Bruce Barnes. Bruce had started the Tribulation Force and had mentored the Young Tribulation Force before his death. Bruce seemed fascinated with her story. Darrion was also able to meet Young Tribulation Force member John Preston, who she never had the privilege of meeting before his death.
Darrion had enjoyed hanging out with and spending time with Ryan. Everything during the 1,000-year reign would be just fine. Darrion was sure of it.
