When Lightning strikes preview , When Lightning Strikesby TheFrozenPen and LavafangsJames Thomas watches the gym class outside, sprinting down the track. He wishes he could be out there, where the only thing you have to think about is keeping ahead of the others. Not stuck inside, in the middle of an english test he forgot to study for “James, eyes on your own paper” Mr Dubias said scratching his stubble. Hmm?” James replied uninterested, still inside his own head.“The test, the English test, the only English test on your desk” The teacher scolded.Oh, right, sorry” James halfheartedly replied. Mr. Dubias lets out a disappointed sigh. “Just don’t let it happen again” he rubbed the bridge of his nose underneath his glasses as he returned to his desk.James begins to chip away at the questions continuously reading the clock “2:50”, he finally moved down to the last question stopping and tried to remember part of the book “I didn’t study last night, I stayed up too late helping Phoenix with his division” James thought rubbing his eyes with both hands. James looked around noticing nobody was moving not even a pencil, “im just tired” he rationalizes getting back to the test hardly noticing his arm begin to tingle. He goes to mark of the box but his arm shoots across the paper tearing a hole into it. “I just moved my arm slightly?” James thought perplexed looking through the hole of the paper. James looks up waiting for Mr Dubius to yell.. but he wasnt even moving either. His eyes still transfixed on the computer. He looked up at the time it still read 2:50, “It's been that way for 15 minutes now” he thought. He looked out the window and saw that the gym class was frozen in the midst of their sprint above the tracks floor. “That shouldn't be possible” James questioned in his mind. He stood up and walked over to Mr Dubias, the man was completely stll, not moving his eyes from the computer screen. He didn't blink or even acknowledge his student. James set the paper on his desk and waved his hand in front of his face. Nothing? Not even his normal rude comment” James thought looking behind his computer screen seeing that he was playing solitaire… and losing.“And he yells at me for looking out a window” he scoffs to himself as he looks back at the clock hearing a tick.Just like nothing happened, everyone kept scribbling away at their tests. Mr Dubias looked up in shock, quickly switching his tab to something more studious. “James… that was quick.. Always the first arent you? He said mumbled under his breath, pulling out his red pen and starting to grade it noticing the tear in the paper. “Did you even try this time” he says glaring marking parts of the test shoeing James away.“Yes?” James replied, too distracted by the strange events that just happened. He sat down at his assigned seat and went back to envying the gym class on the track course. He watches Coach Hartman give his daily drill sergeant scolding to the nerds who couldn’t run a single lap. BBBRRIIINNNNGGGG The school bell finally chimes, releasing the students from Mr Dubias’s English class. James hurriedly packs his bag and bolts out the door. He's usually the first one out the classroom door but still, the hall is full of students, he pulls out his earbuds to block out the cacophony of conversations. He walks to his locker and starts putting away his books when someone taps him on the shoulder. A tall figure appears in James’ peripheral “Hey James, Lyana, Jophery and I are going to Barry's Ice Cream after school. Would you like to join us?” Joseph, one of the jocks, asked.“No thanks, I can’t tonight” James says with a monotonous tone while closing his locker, his head down.“Thanks though, I appreciate it” he says walking away putting his earbuds back in whilst pulling his backpack over his shoulder. “I told you he wouldn’t come.” Lyana “Yeah he never comes, he's really changed from freshman year. I'm not sure why we still ask to hang out” Jophery said disappointedly.Joseph pipes up “Guys cut him some slack, it’s been rough for him after what happened to his mom” “I know but I was hoping he would open up to us after all this time, especially with how close we used to be” Lyannah lamented as the group began their walk to the ice cream parlor. …James steps onto the track course of his school. Breathing in the cool autumn air and feeling the breeze ruffle his hair. Already in his running clothes and shoes he places his backpack on the bleachers. This is James’ usual routine to avoid arriving home too early when his father hasn’t gone to sleep yet.He gets into position at the starting line, closing his eyes imagining the shot of the gun. He begins sprinting down the track, feeling his feet collide with the orange asphalt like he's done hundreds of times. The wind brushing past him, he doesn't need to open his eyes, he’s memorized this path over the years. He turns up his music and allows his mind to wander back to Joseph, Lyana, and Jophery inviting him to Barry’s.“I feel terrible but I couldn't go..., I’d just bring down the mood and.. I'm just too problematic” Jame scolded himself, his mind racing with negative thoughts, too distracted to notice his drastic change of speed.His feet hitting the ground faster and faster the wind picking up around him. He heard a strange bubbling sound under him, when he opened his eyes he looked down seeing his shoes melting as he ran. There were strange sparks of blue lightning flickering around him mainly around his hands. The melting plastic leaving a scorched trail behind him he couldn't stop running, almost like his legs were locked in motion. His cloths caught ablaze with James trying his best to pat them out still unable to stop. He tried to slow his stride but his acceleration was still too as he was set on the path for a large tree at the end of the field. To be continued…

AI became an IdolAI, idols, egoism ...We all use technical devices, live in this world, leave traces.Mankind commits daily transgressions that will lead to the downfall of many.But we have the free will, for faith, love, truth.The manifold used AI has not only the betrayal of artists, especially those who created the foundation, millions of images, without which AI art would not be possible.The motivation: laziness.Now anyone can generate paintings and also write texts, for example, doctoral theses.Fair and harmless? I just saw a video staged by stunning visuals. “AI that dreams ...” was said and one explained all the 'advantages, - one of the biggest 'rat traps' in human history as I see.People use many ways to sell AI as the great salvation.But whatever is feasible with these technologies, ...only Jehovah is able to provide eternal life in a paradise within a new creation.And only that is really about the love between God and every creature. God gave me my life and the priceless power to believe and hope.He does everything in His time.That means that the Creator of the universe, the Lord of reality and beyond, created the following and more, among other things: Space and time, the universe, the creation of nature, self-aware creatures with unique characteristics, love, peace, loyalty, the gift to comfort, to be generous, forgiveness, friendship, the family as a unit and as a fundamental structure for life, for Jehovah and his children. They strive to comply with the inescapably necessary guidelines of God, for the benefit of each individual. Heaven, in turn, is full of Creatures, each of which is more magnificent than ... all the technologies of the worlds together. All of our Father, a justice, loving God with infinite power and empathy, will remove the dangers of the world: the lie, the ego and, among others, AI, all sources of chaos, selfishness, and hatred - sooner or later. Consider the hopes many have for these machines.They reduce the human being already now, although he is God's work, they think it would take AI a divine role.Idolatry!This goes too far, people do not understand what they ignited with it.Where does the measure of morality come from in the AI world?From programming, databases, circuits of a computer?Does man want to determine for himself again what is good and what is evil?Now Jehovah's time has come to implement what his Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ has made possible for all of us, salvation despite our imperfections, from a sea of goodness.Through a painful journey through mockery, torture, death, without having made even one mistake, Jesus paid all the guilt of people who repent and turn back from wrong ways, at present still tangible for everyone.God raised his son back to life.This demonstrated to us that they will call back to life those who have already died.A renewed act of unfathomable grace!But many are ungrateful and reject this gift.What did Jesus say in the Bible? We are to “patiently endure to the end of the 'world system'!” The earth is still contaminated, civilization in chaos, godlessness. Relying on these sudden seductive technologies is part of the corrupted world - system, a consequence of the lie that mankind can save itself (which includes AI - mania).I believe that Jehovah's and Christ's plan will be executed very soon.You can learn more about the development of mankind from the Bible, if you are unbiased and understand it, if you are honestly in search of it.Be blessed!
Twilight Beings 6 - The War to change it allAnd so came the era when the mists cleared. The legion stood ready to halt the barely visible but immense gray horde. The thorns of the recent past embedded in Ayrem and Lasarih's flesh were like the teeth of those whose words lied, whose actions caused pain, whose will brought darkness. The fronts had a deep and wide chasm between them. One could not mistakenly stand here or there. Countless events were intertwined, including the love of two noble children, each having left their safe ancestral homes to form a bond at the “Intersection.” It was an island in the cosmos, full of signposts, paths that led in directions one could only find by turning correctly here. A miracle in eternity, a uniquely beautiful blossom sprouted. Ayrem sat beneath the mighty tree trunk and gazed into the distance, where they had suffered. “So far away! The distance raises doubts about whether I still recognize the reality within it. But yes, I feel it.” The day the power of the evil Mistress had torn the two young lovers apart and cast them into the labyrinth, they became entangled in these fateful events. Ayrem's gaze seemed fixed, but Lasarih saw so many emotions within it, within themselves too. They approached each other.Whispers ...The dignified man with long silver braided hair, wearing armor forged in the fires of origin, crafted during the awakening of life, he spoke solemn words. Ayrem and Lasarih entered into an eternal bond, a simple, brief ceremony. But the beings who witnessed it looked as if they were seeing love for the first time.Glad, bewildered, murmured ...Even the wind was among the guests.It sang.Ghosts swirling synchronously within it as the two embraced and kissed. Later ...“Will you go away?” Lasarih asked her husband, concealing her grief, which she felt because of the anticipated answer. “I will usher in a new era at the forefront of the legion. The evil mistress must not reign. I must, but even so, I will always return to you. However, the horde is enormous, and it will take a long time.” He donned his armor, reflected in his sword. Hesitating, looked at Lasarih, his loyal wife, and took her hand. He tried to explain to her what he himself had only just learned, what this was all about. “Wars would rage everywhere, famines would break out, chaos and lawlessness would prevail, diseases would cause people from all worlds to hate each other due to forced conflicts. Creatures would be needlessly tortured and killed, the paradise of every world could come to an end, many individuals would be poisoned and put to the temptation – doom.” He breathed heavily. In the face of this, he now understood what he was chosen for. Abilities unfolded within him that. This would have overwhelmed anyone. Lasarih looked into his eyes and understood. She had to encourage him, not being selfish, to make this call for him difficult to follow. Pondering. A smile of understanding. Her imagination transformed. Finally, they held each other closely. “Our love is pure, and our descendants will be countless.” The two kissed. The Lord of the Twilight Beings waited in the distance, speaking to the wind. Ayrem turned to Lasarih. They immersed themselves in each other, the ether blew passionately around them. Later... “Go, my boy! Loyalty, love, knowledge, and courage! An army surrounds the Intersection. None can break through. It will be safe.” “Good.” Ayrem sat astride an elegant, beautiful creature. It was the huge, trusty Golden Bird that had recently brought Lasarih to safety. “Do you see them? Do you see the horde emerging from every gutter of moral filth?” “Yes.” He had to prevent the destruction they brought with them. The journey through the labyrinth had driven them to despair. But the Twilight Beings had kept Lasarih and him alive. “There is only the power of one person who can save you and will. You'll see Him in the right moment.” The Lord of the Twilight Beings dissolved. “Thank you!” Ayrem looked back at the distant Intersection. He smiled at the thought of seeing Lasarih and his child when he returned. It became loud, and the forces clashed. He saw not only the violence, but also the values he had to fight for as he plunged into battle to eradicate evil from the fabric of existence. He wielded his sword against doom. Flames. Roars. Lightning and thunder.But war was war. It burned in his heart in pain and passion and on his skin.And so ... Eternal love was a treasure. It had always been a gift, but one had to show that it meant something to live in peace within it someday. It was not beautiful to rise in anger against someone, but on this level of existence, it was about more. The Mistress of the Labyrinth and the horde were nowhere to be seen. He did not hear her either. But she was there, cursing him and Lasarih. However, this curse no longer had the power it once had. The old Lord of the Twilight Beings had found his peace, although the hate of the which laid on him. Now it was Ayrem who led those who had supported him in this nightmarish ordeal and their brothers and sisters. He did not have a strictly logical explanation for all of this. Why had he become who he was now?... But his emotions were pure. Lasarih was now his wife. The scars he had gained from the journey through the labyrinth spoke for themselves. These stories were far more than had ever been told.He shared them with his wife ...The Scarecrow hummed on and on into the 'Grand Dream'.Well, thus, the scroll of the Twilight Beings comes to an end. Farewell!
