Notes: Hey all! It's been ages I know, and I so appreciate everyone sticking with me on this story. I promise this story will be completed. I just don't know when. This is actually the first time I have been able to just sit down at the computer and do something other than class work! Hope you all enjoy I explain a lot in this chapter- I'll admit I get very into faith in this chapter but I do hope that you all will continue to read and enjoy it and not let that deter you. It just all seemed to fit.
Sometimes Miracles Happen
By Ans4Christ
"Hello Jonas, I now see that you recognize me."
"The Guardian- from P3X-278. This all ties together doesn't it? The device, the pillars; there's just one thing that I truly don't understand- why have I encountered all of them?"
The Guardian smiled," Because Jonas, you are one of the special, or chosen ones. A mission has been decreed for you, one that only you can accomplish. Everything that has happened in your life, everything that has lead you down different paths was to bring you here. Not just to this physical place but to this place of understanding. You're journey Jonas, it shall be great, and the knowledge you share shall be a blessing for many, as long as you remain on the path chosen for you."
"I don't understand- what does any of this have to do with me? I came here to find the power source to defeat Anubis and a cure to save Amy- I don't care about anything else."
"Let me start at the beginning." The Guardian began," Over two thousand years ago the Ancients ruled in power in this universe. They were proud, intelligent, but mostly arrogant. They cared nothing for the weaker races, ultimately they wished for domination of all life in the universe. They went from planet to planet searching out the people seeing whom they could overtake with their technology. They came to earth and searched it out. The result of which would shake the foundations of the Ancient's entire existence.
"The Ancients searched the planet and found no opposition or power that would challenge them. Until one day they encountered some of their Brethern living in the Roman Empire. A message was relayed to them about a new religion that was spreading rapidly, where people followed an unseen being whom was called the Son of God. They of course laughed at this notion, knowing in their minds that a being like this could not exist.
"To prove this point and the utter foolishness of humans, they sought out the people whom fell prey to this supposed farce and observed them, also encountering their sacred book- now called the Bible. What next took place changed everything. One in the group saw what he claimed was a miracle, before his eyes. A man was healed of a disease and there was no alien technology present, just the simple touch and prayer of an apparently ordinary man. The man who witnessed this was astounded and determined to seek out the truth in this. He knew the risks of removing himself from the group, of disagreeing, but his heart had to know, it had to understand what all of this was.
"So privately he sought it out. He read through the Bible and attested it's claims- finally coming to the realization that the words it spoke were truth and light. He immediately took up and followed the belief, knowing that his life was as sure as dead. He shared this with one whom he trusted, this man in turn by the same process came to realize that the words that were spoken where truth. Little by little this happened to all of them, and within the point of a year all fifty Ancients accepted and attested to the facts of this belief.
"They worked together to help build a technology not only to protect earth, but also to spread this truth to other planets that they in time may too come to know this truth."
"The Ancient's device." Jonas jumped in.
"Yes, the device. They were leary to tell the others once their mission on earth was done. But soon it spread and many more believed. However, there was one whom did not believe and to him came the division. He convinced many of the elder Ancient's of the evils that were being commited and from this action a civil war broke out amoungst the Ancients. Those whom believed this belief, and those whom stood by the old way.
"The war waged for almost a century- countless were lost. Traps and codes had to be implanted in all Ancient technology no matter the side. That is why all who have encountered the technology since have said that it is composed of mere riddles. They are right in that assumption. For it had to be this way in order to ensure the survivial and victory of both sides. The Ancients that were against the new belief caused the greatest damage. They relreased the plague that wiped out all humanity- with no remorse. In turn the other Ancients used this same disease as a trap in order to protect the further advancments in technology that they were making. Including those to fight enemies with.
"These are the things that you have enountered- this is why you are here today. Within these pillars is a map of sorts- that will lead to a power source beyond imagination- one that can save the soul and one that will destroy the wicked. However, only the right one can obtain the desired information. All others will be destroyed. " He turned to fully face Jonas," That is why Amy was kept alive longer- for you to come here. It is also why you had to be separated from the others including Sam. They would not have been able to withstand what you are being and will be shown."
"I don't know what to say- as shocking as all of this is, at the same time it all makes sense. Every question I have asked myself over the Ancient device and the Bible verses linked to it. Now it all-just makes perfect sense." Jonas paused," Why did they make that one verse" The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies proclaim the work of His hands" the main key to opened the device?"
"Because it was the one and only way to describe the truth to other beings- we all share the heavens, what better way to see the glory of God?"
Jonas grew quiet," Is there any way I can help amy? Anything I can give her?" The Guardian shook his head," Will-will she die?" Jonas choked out.
"I do not know. The decision is not up to me. Only God can decide."
"What happened? To the first Ancients that came to belive this, what happened to them?" Jonas diverted.
The Guardian lowered his head," Though Ascended all were destroyed for their faith and their hope in telling others."
"What of the first man? Is he gone as well?"
The Guardian smiled," He stands before you." He paused," I escaped and have spent the centuries telling, protecting, and guarding the truth I have come to know. That is why you have encountered me a second time, and that is why you shall encounter me again. Come, let me show you why you were brought here."
Jonas followed the being as figures and shapes began to take place. He was lead up a ramp that seemed to incline and go on forever. Finally at the top he was surrounded by a brilliance of light again, though this time it seemed to penetrate through him completely. It felt as though the light was burning his mind, his soul, and his body. It overwhelmed him. It wasn't painful- but it was so strong so powerful that slowly he felt his senses lose control, and give into nothingness.
Okay, so I know some of the facts may have been off regarding the Ancients but like I said before it all seemed to fit together well. So I hope you enjoyed and I'll update again when I can.
