1. "Last and my final warning; let go of the true God's people," Foster demanded.
"It's already written in my book, those who leave will perish from the land of the living!"
Foster walked up to him, his index finger pointed straight to Vane's face, "…You can't perform miracles!"
2. "Jesus fed thousands of people by multiplying the bread and the fish, how come can't you perform miracles just like I did—Even I don't claim myself as the Son nor prophet, but an inheritor."
3. "Are you saying that you are stronger than me? How blasphemous," Vane retorted.
"I'm not the one who's powerful here, but he is," Foster pointed at the sky.
"My father?"
"…Our father."
4. "You are one of his children and yet I am the chosen one to inherit his kingdom," Vane turned around facing the altar. "…I had a vision too."
"His angels came into my room descending from the shining light of my ceiling."
Foster didn't believe him, if he was the appointed son of God—then why did he tasked Foster to stop him and free his people. He quietly prayed with eyes closed, opened heart.
5. He asked God a question; a question where the Lord himself could only answer.
That vision is either a lie or real, and Vane completely misunderstand it.
But he never let his guard down and kept on proceeding to God's task.
"Last warning, for my left-hand creates the miracle performed by the one and true God."
6. "Why do you have to be so stubborn? I am chosen by God as his son."
It seems Foster couldn't push the button that could change his mind; he walked out and finally touched the wall beside him.
"It will rain fire, and once it touches the ground—it will ignite."
7. Foster couldn't bare to witness someone's death; he didn't summoned the Angel of Death just like what happened to Pharaoh's only son.
God, change his heart.
8. He stopped as soon as he stepped at the exit door, then he says this: "…Them and I can't serve two masters, for this is my last warning… I will stand here fearless as fires rained down your church—I will not have any sign of burns or injuries, I will have faith in God."
9. To Vane's surprise, the sky began to change its color to dark-orange. The forced followers who watched from the distance were shocked at the sight.
"Those who are the true son of God will not burn, for he is with them,"
Foster said standing still while looking at Solomon Vane dead in the eyes.
10. The rain of fire was casted only upon Vane's church and no innocents and true children of God were affected.
The fire spreaded across the church's tiles and one fell to his white coat; Foster stood still as the burning flames circled around him without even burning his shoes.
11. "What have you done?!" Solomon yelled, voice laced with a mixture of confusion and fear.
More and more fire burned his coat until it reached his flesh.
Foster couldn't bear to watch so he closed his eyes and prayed.
12. Vane screamed in agony as the flames burned his mask of fhe false-identity—this lasted for 30 minutes. As far as Foster remembered back in the grassland, there were 40 people who's in pain because of him, and 41 if we include the little girl, which is Yanna.
The first 20 fires burned his two shoulders; he fell to the floor, his back hitting the tiles first; the second 20 fires burned his stomach, and finally—the last one burned his right cheek.
13. Which God should I serve? A god that was burning along with his lies, or a God that chose to protect and give freedom to his children.
I've already known that since the day I was baptized.
14. God chose me not because I'm perfect; God chose me because I'm just a mere man who lost its faith in him but decided to show me the truth.
I once told my God how big my problems are; I now told my problems how big my God is.
15. When the church was burned to ashes, he walked closer to the unconcious self-proclaimed god. He kneeled down and cried; he said in his mind: What have I done?
God change his heart, forgive him—for I want him to breathe again and repent.
"It's not yet too late for him to receive your salvation."
16. When Foster finally opened his eyes, the burn marks on Vane's body had vanished like a dust in the wind. Solomon's breath was steady; he woke up then suddenly gasped for air.
17. "You still have time to repent; I already performed God's miracle in front of your two wicked eyes, and yet you didn't believe me," Foster said. "What would it take for a man to believe in him? Money? Fame?"
Foster stood up and added: "Faith."
18. "We are just a man who was created and loved by God—"
Vane barked: "What do you know?!"
"They appeared in my bedroom and they told me I was the son of God!"
He shot up from the floor and yelled at the sky that was turned sky-blue: "Why father?! Why does your son have to experience such humiliation?!"
19. "I asked my angels to send you a message; a message that was so clear you interpreted it as a man blinded with sins."
Foster and Vane heard God's voice echoing through the sky.
"I called you my child and yet you interpreted it as if I was choosing you as my appointed son. I tasked you to spread my words and not create your own—the alcohols and those drugs giving you pleasure was too much for me to bear, for I can't bear to see you suffering in your own delusions.
20. All of Vane's forced followers heard the voice echoing in the sky, they all listened in silence for they know that the true God was with them all along—and Foster Smith was the key to their freedom.
21. "Foster," God called him out.
"Y-Yes, Lord?"
"I called you to free those people locked in the dormitory and tell them the good news; they will try to worship you and say your name 2 times." God said, but this time it echoed in Foster's mind, so it can't be heard by the others.
22. Foster decided to open the dormitory and yes, the forced-followers of vane began kneeling in front of him, and they yelled in unison: "King Foster! King Foster!"
"EVERYONE! STOP!" Foster shouted.
"I'm so disappointed to all of you! Haven't you heard God's voice echoing through the sky?! We only had one God! I am not your Lord! He was waiting for your return to finally worship him again and have eternal life!"
23. "I'm just the inheritor of the book of Exodus, also known as the inheritance of Moses, and I will free all of you!"
Foster took a deep breath and raised his two hands in the air; the left containing the staff, and the right containing the truth.
"Father in heaven, I pray for you to change their hearts and pull them closer to you. I ask you to forgive our sins whether we don't mean to do it or on purpose. Father in heaven, we ask for your guidance and your final miracle to be performed by me… I'll break the chains that is locking their freedom in this very tiny room, and forgive me Lord for I have sinned."
And now Foster's did one final act of miracle performed by God. There are two dormitories that can fit 20 people each and the first room where Tyrone and Jones are was already opened.
24. He walked under the scorching heat of the sun just to reach the last dormitory—the door was locked by chains and a padlock in the middle. Along with the first 20 forced followers who was watching behind him, he then clutched the chains with his left-hand then pulled it.
The chains broke off as well as the thick padlock that was entirely made of titanium shattered.
The last 20 people who were sobbing, suddenly witnessed the light after opening the door.
"Come my friends! For God has forgiven you!"
———Epilogue of fhe story of Foster———
25. Solomon Vane was exposed by Foster Smith's right hand after writing it in his journal and was sent to jail. Those 41 followers of Vane was now happily jumping, walking, and running across the street of Carrow City.
Yanna and Anastasia are now attending the Christian church near the seaside of the city.
And there's Foster Smith who was promoted from being a simpe journalist to an EIC or also known as Editor-In-Chief and earns more than twice his last salary as a journalist.
26. Inside the most expensive restaurant where Foster and his friend were eating.
"What motivated you to be promoted like this anyway? I liked your confidence on exposing that false-god. So tell me how?" His friend Jeremy asked before taking a sip from his lemon juice.
Foster chuckled and pulled out his Bible from his bag, then replied: "God."
"Dude, I didn't know you were that spiritual huh?"
27. "Seems like God had doubled my blessings for being too faithful…" Foster took a deep breath then smiled. "…I'd like to invite you to our church."
28. "…The Christian church that is close to the sea? Oh, I would love too… but, I don't have any money yet to use the community bus."
29. "Show him my child and let him walk closer to me."
Foster heard God's word and pulled out something from his bag. A key to an expensive car he owns.
"I don't care about the gasoline prices; I'll take you there every sunday."
30. From once owning a motorcycle to go to work, it seems like God had given him more and more blessings to owning an expensive car, like the man in the book of Job, who kept his faith to God.
It's the most simple term you can ever hear, God works in mysterious ways.
