subject: Ghost in the shell [print this page] The priest, had ever been considered to be a believer of the Goddess. He prayed for the good living of villagers everyday. When collisions came up between villagers, the priest was considered to be a fair man to consider the interest of both side. So even no one else in the village had ever seen or listened to the Goddess, the priest were trusted by villagers, and with the help of the priest many problems were solved. In the villager's sight, the priest was a kind man, because he had never shown any disgust to anybody or anything. He was always patient, and prepared himself to help the misery at any time.
Lucia was still crying. Although the bridal gown she wore was different, she did not notice that. She couldn't help closing her eyes at darkness. She was totally terrified by the scene that the eyes could not get any light even when she open them so widely. She walked in her memories with Gordon, saw friends and families. But opening the eyes made them disappear. She was so desperate that she could not bare open her eyes in a short flash. However, this time the priest could not be found anywhere. Dawn was near, but any of the team members had met anyone else in the forest. Cold and fear came close to everyone, laugh and talking was stopped under such circumstance. There was a growing fear in the villagers' mind whether the God decided to abandon them. If so, would there be more lost villagers other than the bride herself. Of course, none of them could answer this. With time elapsing, nervous and doubt rose to fight against their patience to search ahead. "That was no use! The priest could not be found, and I thought he might talk with the Goddess now""No! I thought that he should negotiate with the emissary of the Goddess""Gentle men, please, he must be running away, and we could not get him"
The noise in the forest began to embrace every air in this place. In the dark hole, the priest was raged to call the name "Sophie! Sophie! You lied to me about the bird! You lied to me to make the bridal gown.""With the bridal gown, you only cared about yourself! Answer me, you coward!" "My dear child, I was here waiting for you. I know that you might be unsatisfied with me. But you should know that it was also a difficult decisions to me, my child" A voice spread from the deep of the hole. It sounded like a voice made by the air, not by a concrete women. Was the hole the shell of a ghost?
