Episode 3-Heaven

 As Zara walks out of the church Jacob follows closely behind. "Why does it feel like i'm a child being led by an adult.." Jacob thinks out loud. "i guess your a little surprised at my height." Zara says as she continues to walk. "Don't be too surprised, most people around here are usually this tall." she smirks and continues walking.

they continue to walk until they reach a large door that looks to go outside of the church. Zara softly speaks some wording that Jacob cant hear and the door slowly cracks and swings open.Bright light invades the space and Jacob is blinded.

Jacob rubs his eyes to adjust them to the light. when he opens his eyes a sight unravels before him that couldn't be described with just one sentence. Right outside the door is a large staircase that leads down into what looks like clouds. The clouds stretch out like a large field. Carriages being pulled by horses with wings are gliding along the surface of the clouds back an forth. More 10 feet tall people are swimming through the air and stopping to land on the clouds to walk around. Beautiful buildings are spread out here and there, some of them more grand than others but not a single one could be laughed at. The smallest one was as big as a mansion and covered in gold and silver and all kind of different valuable minerals.

"Wow..." Jacob stares in awe at the scene in front of him. "Don't be too surprised, isn't the afterlife supposed to be grand." Zara smiles and continues down a path of clouds after descending the church stairs. "So this is heaven."

"No not quite, i guess you could call it heaven. Its more like a waiting room for souls."  Jacob continues to stare and notices lights zooming through the air. "Are those the.. Souls?   "Yes."  Jacob looks at Zara and back towards the balls of light. "Then why am i not a ball of light!" Zara looks back at Jacob and smiles.

"Well one reason is that you were chosen."  "Chosen. by who?" Zara ignores Jacobs last question and continues to walk down the clouded road. As they walk, the buildings become even more grand.

"So, where are you taking me?" Zara lifts her hand for ward and points at a Large building in the distance, It wasn't the biggest building around but it wasn't in any way small.  In fact it would put the Yankees stadium to shame. Jacob thinks back to his old life again. "Don't worry Jacob, soon you'll be ridden of those sad memories." Zara says as she notices the sad look on my face.

"Ridden... your gonna steal my memories?" Jacob looks at Zara in disbelief. "Well, were not stealing. You were chosen to be reincarnated. and for an American such as yourself this is a rare occurrence. But to be reincarnated you need to have your memories form your past life removed."

Jacob laughs aloud to himself..."No."

"What did you say?" Zara says as she stares at Jacob wondering if she heard him correctly. "You do know that if we don't take your memories then we cant allow you to reincarnate."

"Then i wont reincarnate, ill just go to wherever those other souls go." Jacob looks back towards Zara with a glint in his eyes. Zara sighs loudly and turns back towards the building. "Well Sir. Jacob you don't have a choice." Jacob stares at Zara in defiance but notices Zara looking just as angry and decides not to say anything for the rest of the walk.

As they come to the end of the path and stop at the foot of the stairs leading up to the grand building before them Two more people who were the same height if not taller than Zara were standing there waiting for us.

"Mrs. Zara, Sir. Jacob! We have been waiting for your appearance."  one of the men said with gusto as he saw them. This man was the same height as Zara but had a more lumpy and round body and he wore glasses and a mustache that looked like it was sprayed on his face. definitely not as good looking as Mrs.Zara.

"Its good to see you Mrs. Zara. The ritual is ready at anytime." The second man said with a wily smile. This next guy was more appropriate looking. He had flowing blond hair and a jawline that you could crack an egg on. His eyes were just as shiny and pretty as Mrs.Zara's. But his smile was very proud. almost like he thought he was the the best looking man ever, and it showed on his face.

Mr.Glasses looked at Zara and me, "Follow me i will escort you two to the ritual site and we can get you a new life." Glasses turned away form us and started up the stairs with a pep in his step. The rest of them started to follow. Jacob stood there in awe at the whole situation but continued to follow. Welp,  lets see whats gonna happen.
