A Dream of Hope
And He approached me, surrounded by a bright aura, smiling. Yes, He was smiling at me, holding His arms towards
me. He asked me if I am all right. I smiled and nodded, then my hands felt my belly. He then looked there and nodded
aswell: "Your child is now safe, my dear Adeline". His voice... clear and beautiful, angelic. Then suddenly a child
appeared in His arms. I recognized that crying, I recognized the child's face. I looked upon the child in His arms
and I felt tears. I knew I had killed him in cold blood, I knew I was guilty of the crime yet I knew I did it for a
just cause. And He looked upon me, then to the child in His arms and said: "Adeline, he is safe now, with me. You
know very well what a miserable life he would have lived... hated, feared, banished. A caliban he was, thrown away
he was. You saved him, Adeline."
In that moment, I realized everyone was wrong. He stood there, that man, with kind eyes, dressed in a
morninglordian robe. He opened my eyes, and I finally *knew* I did nothing wrong. I *saved* both children. Mine,
from a terrible fate, that caliban child from a terrible life.
"Don't be afraid, Adeline." He looked upon the child. "You will save them all, Adeline, won't you?"
I knew what I had to do. But I needed to ask, so I did: "Who are you, Sir, if I may ask?"
He smiled and winked: "When you go on your knees every morning and pray, I hear you, Adeline!"
As I opened my eyes, looking at the wooden ceiling, I realized. I just talked to the Morninglord. And I decided to
do what he asked me to do. I will save them all.
