Rescue of Jerish

Prelude

1 Five hundred years after the hurricane, the world was back to its wicked self. 2 Sin was rampant, and false religions were spread everywhere. 3 So The Nomad, displeased at humanity’s wickedness, sent himself down into the world, that it might become whole again. 4 An angel of The Nomad descended upon Waywardia and informed her that she was going to give birth to a child who was The Nomad in the flesh. 

5 “How may I give birth? For I am a virgin.”

6 “You will marry a man by the name Fraser. You and him together will have The Nomad and raise him.” 7 The angel blessed Waywardia and departed from her. 8 A year later, the prophecy was fulfilled when Waywardia met and fell in love with a man who descended from Jacozia, his name was Fraser. 9 They soon married each other and made love, and Waywardia conceived in a barn among the Dogs in Alexandria, Eygpt. 10 As he grew up in the area of Alexandria, he was incredibly smart, about one hundred-fold smarter than an adult at the age of six. 11 And when he grew to an adult, he set off from his parents to go and save his sin-ridden people.

The First Recruiting

2 The Nomad set out for Port Alexandria to take a small, wooden boat to Serpentine, a country in Amoyta where his people once believed in him, but then they turned to the people who aligned with their wicked hearts better, the Morags. 2 He trekked a sandy path that led to the port. 3 It led through the woods, up the mountains, and around the lakes.4 He was exhausted, having to walk 218 miles, and decided to rest at an inn located near the port for three days. 5 While in the inn he indulged in the all-you-can-eat buffet which was full of different dog-meat delicacies. 6 After eating ten-fold his fill at breakfast on the morning of the fourth day, his stay was up and he rolled out of the inn like a perfectly-rounded ball. 7 He rolled himself to the port, where there were no shortages of boats, but they all had a form of protection on them that a thief might not steal them. 8 He thought of giving up when he saw a man untying his boat from the dock. 9 He rolled over to the man and looked at him. 10 The man was in his early twenties and fair-skinned. 11 His jawline was sharp and he had unkempt black hair and a full beard. 12 His eyes were brown and he was around 4’9 with a strong build. 

13 The Nomad stood on his feet and asked though he already knew the answer, “Would you happen to be heading to Serpentine?” 

14 “I actually do happen to be heading to Serpentine to see if I can find a job, I would be glad to take you along if that is where you want to go.” The man responded.

15 “Yes, please take me along with you.” 16 And so the man sat in the front of the boat and let the Nomad sit behind him. 17 He grabbed the oars and started to move them, pushing them out into the sea. 18 The Nomad fell asleep quickly, only 7.5 miles across the sea. 19 After four days, they had made it 176 miles across the sea and The Nomad had burned off all his extra calories in his sleep. 20 He had been sleeping for four days until a storm came. 21 The ship rocked as waves sped across the sea, water rained down from the sky, and wind blew across the earth. 22 The man was panicked and shook The Nomad until he was awake. 

23 “Sir! You must wake up! A terrible storm has befallen upon us and we must abandon the boat!” 

24 “Be not afraid, for I am with you, and with me, anything is possible.” 25 The Nomad stood up and put his hands up, as to tell the sky to stop storming. 26 Instantly, the clouds split apart and the sun shone across the water again. 27 The waves stopped bashing against the boat, and the wind calmed down. 

28 The man was shocked, “Who holds such power and authority over the weather except The Nomad?”

29 “Behold before you lay The Nomad in the flesh, who has come to reclaim his people.” 

30 The man fell to his knees, “Forgive me, for I did not know it was you. If I had known it was you I would have not worried.” 

31 “You are forgiven, for you know not of what you have done.”

32 “Thank you, holy and graceful Nomad.” 33 And so they continued their journey across until they made it to Serpentine, where they tied their boat and touched foot on the land. 33 The man picked up his stuff and was about to leave when he asked, 34 “Nomad, where are you going to go now?”

35 “I am going to preach at the Morag Congregation Building of the capital.”

36 “Let me follow you, O’ Nomad.”

37 “So shall it be.” The Nomad said as the man dropped his stuff and followed The Nomad down the road. 

38 “My name is Graham Bar Creaciaer”

39 “Now, your name shall be St. Tony, disciple of The Nomad.”

The Calling of St. Micah and St. Oakley

3 The Nomad stopped to rest with St. Tony in Tailily. The next day they decided to leave for Belliya. 2 They passed the small town of Nouméa where The Nomad saw Oakley hunting for dog meat, he said to her, “I am hungry, could you offer us some dog meat to cook over a fire for me and my disciple?”  3 Oakley gladly gave some dog meat to The Nomad and they roasted over a fire. 4 They talked to each other for a bit until The Nomad gave himself away. 5 Oakley ran away, found Micah, and told him, 6 “We have found the one Jacozia wrote about, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Nomad of Alexandria the son of Fraser.”

 7  “Alexandria? Can anything good come from there? It’s sin-ridden with pagan religions.” Micah declared.

8 “Come and see,” said Oakley. 9 When the Nomad saw Micah approaching, he said of him, 

10 “Here truly is a believer in whom there is no sense of evil.” 

11 “How do you know me?” Micah asked. 

12 The Nomad answered, “I saw you while you were still under the Serpentine Elm before Oakley called you.” 

13 Then Micah declared, “Nomad, you are the Son of Fraser;  you are the chosen of Alexandria.” 

14 The Nomad said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the Serpentine Elm. You will see many greater things than that.”  

He then added, 15 “Very truly I tell you, you will see the heavens open, and the angels and dogs ascending and descending on me.”

The Nomad at The Temple of Serpentine

4 The two disciples in awe at The Nomad, took up their belongings and followed him as he set off for the capital city. 2 They ran across the dirt path, conversing joyfully and kicking up dirt with their sandals. 3 They finally reached Belliya and rested at an inn for the night. 4 When they awoke, they headed out of the inn, carrying their belongings atop their backs. 5 As they walked through the highly populated city, people stared at them, some even spitting at The Nomad’s feet. 6 This is because The Nomad was of lighter skin, and called a son of perdition according to what the Morags taught. 7 They reached the Morag Congregation Building and The Nomad climbed the stairs at the foot of the building. 8 He started preaching, and the words that came forth from his mouth were full of authority and knowledge, but the passersby were all dismissive of his teachings. 9 Then out of nowhere, one man, indifferent to The Nomad’s skin, walked up and listened. 10 The wise words entranced him and slowly built up a crowd around the temple and The Nomad, people squeezing through to try to listen. 11 Then The Nomad told a parable.

 12 “This is the parable of Baby Gronk,” started The Nomad as the crowd listened attentively. 13 “Baby Gronk was a popular football player. He rizzed up Livvy Dunne and took her as his wife. 14 He was faithful to Livvy until he saw Sidney Sweeney. 15 Sidney would go up to Baby Gronk when his wife was not around and talk to him. She always dressed her best when she talked to Baby Gronk. 16 She slandered Livvy and told false truths about her while also making herself look better. Baby Gronk believed these truths as factual and never even bothered to ask Livvy about them. 17 Baby Gronk divorced Livvy and asked her to depart from him indefinitely. Livvy was hesitant to depart but did as Baby Gronk asked, even though she did no wrong. 18 Baby Gronk was engaged to marry Sidney and did a year later. 19 Since Sidney deceived Baby Gronk into thinking that she had a nice house, he sold his and decided to live with her. 20 He invested all of his money into a meme coin as he was told and when he finally was taken to Sidney’s house, there was no mansion to be found. Instead, he saw a homeless community outside a luxurious gated neighborhood. 21 He was angered at Sidney but she deceived him once more and he slept inside her tent for the night. 22 When he awoke though, she was gone. He checked outside his tent and she was still gone. 23 He frantically checked his phone and the money on his meme coin, but when he checked, the money he had invested was gone. His money had been part of crypto rug-pull and now he was out of money and stranded. 24 He banged and shook the neighborhood gates, but when someone finally responded, it was Livvy. 25 Baby Gronk pleaded with her, saying he would do anything for her to let him in. Livvy refused him though saying, ‘I do not know you.’ 26 Baby Gronk started weeping as he was cast to his tent. He was forever separated and was pelted with burning hot honeybuns from passersby.”

27 Some of the crowd stood in confusion, while the other half stood in astonishment at his teachings. 28 The Nomad then explained the parable,

29 “This parable is of the Cat-One, who tricks and deceives those who are not truly empowered by me. 30 He tells you lies about me and makes himself look good to attract you, but when you commit to him he does not care for you and leaves you. 31 Then when you plead back to me I can accept you longer, for you left me and took up the Cat-One for all of the time until it was too late.” 32 After hearing this, the crowd was astonished and thirsted for more of his teachings, but the Morags came out of the building behind him and confronted him.

33 “Who are you that you have such authority to teach over us, the Morags, who create the moral absolutes that found this country.”

34 “I am Him who eats dogs.” 

35 At this, the Morags got scared, yelled in anger, and picked up stones to throw at him, but The Nomad slipped away into the massive crowd that had listened to his teachings.

St. Parker is Anointed as One of The Chosen

5 The disciples pursued The Nomad as they slipped away from the authorities. 2 They hustled away from the temple and slipped into a market. 3 They all breathed heavily as they bent down, hands on their knees, panting like a dog. 4 After a minute or so, they all looked up. 5 They saw a man who stood atop a raised stone platform. 6 He spoke unpretentiously to the people walking by and to the measly crowd around the platform on which he stood. 7 He was fair-skinned with an amazingly extravagant brown mustache and beard. 8 He preached about The Nomad,

9 “The Nomad loves you, for he created you in the image of his liver and put you on the beautiful earth. Therefore, you shall love him undyingly too.”

10 The Nomad started to walk up to this man when he heard the prancing of cavalry. 11 Men who rode upon horses came flying between the two men and came to a sudden stop as soon as they saw The Nomad. 12 The men hopped off as they yelled through the bustling market,

“Get this man! He has blasphemed against the Morags and proclaimed himself as the false god called The Nomad!”

13 Parker had heard this from the other side of the cavalry, and he had a thought,

“Is this man The Nomad in the flesh fufilling the covenant he had made?”

14 He ran from off his stone platform and through the horses to see The Nomad. 15 Right as he made it through, he bumped into the leader of the cavalry, and the man whipped around. 16 As he was about to make an angry comment at Parker, the horses stirred from the shoving that Parker did and ran about wildly, neighing. 17 The soldiers tried to calm down their horses when one went haywire and plowed straight into the general, taking him out. 18 Then, the soldiers started running away, while Parker stood still during the ordeal. 19 The Nomad and his disciples stared into Parker’s soul until he broke the silence, 

20 “Is it true? Are you who you claim to be? Are you truly The Nomad?”

21 “I am He.”

22 Parker bowed before The Nomad,

 “O Nomad, O Nomad. Let me follow my leader to the ends of the Earth.”

23 “Come, my child. I see your good doings and faith, and you shall chase after me.”

24 As The Nomad and his disciples turned and walked away, Parker ran after them wholeheartedly and became the fourth disciple of The Nomad.
