The adventures of Camelot

By Menelik pendragon

The squire of Camelot
The adventure begins
Some say that after death, a new adventure begins.
Limbo. A place between heaven and hell, but closer to hell.
Limbo is a place where one can think things over or for some, raise a child.
Our adventure begins within limbo itself. Where a forest can be seen.
In that forest, a child can be seen sitting atop a rock.
The child has black hair and red eyes.
The child sits on top of a rock staring at the stars on the night sky.
The child has loved to look at the night sky for many years. Ever since he was a baby.
back then he and his father loved to watch the night sky together, but lately. The child has watched the night sky alone. Because, his father is a very busy person. Which the child understands, but the child still wants to be with his father from time to time.
Then suddenly a voice can be heard calling for the child.
''My son where are you? '' said the voice.
'' Its father!'' said the child to himself.
The child rushed towards his father as fast as he could to the point where he was almost flying.
Then after passing through some bushes and trees. The child flew straight into the embrace of his father.
The child looked up to the face of his father, from his father's embrace and said, with a smile.
'' Hallo father! '' and the man who is the father to the child is none other than God's most beloved messenger. The Archangel Gabriel.
'' Hello, my son. How are you?, Jacob'' said Gabriel.
'' I am fine father '' said Jacob.
Gabriel sighed at that comment.
'' What is it, father?''
'' I thought I told you, not to lie to me, my son''
'' But I am not lying Father ''
Gabriel looked at his son with a serious look on his face.

'' Okay. Maybe I have been a little lonely since you are so busy, but I know that it is not your fault father. You are needed by God. You are after all. God's beloved messenger and all the other angels and archangels look up to you '' said Jacob.
Gabriel sighed once again.
'' What is it now father?. I did tell you the truth ''
'' I know that my son and I am proud of you for that, but the reason I am saddened is because of what you just said '' said Gabriel.
Jacob got a confused look on his face.
'' Let me explain. It seems that you are aware of the circumstances. That I can not spend as much time with you, as a would like. Which is something that saddens me '' said Gabriel (while walking with his son through the forest within Limbo).
'' You do not need to be sad. Father, I am okay, really '' said Jacob.
Gabriel looked at his son with a smile on his face. 
'' Limbo. It is the only home you have ever known. It is here that I raised you when you were a baby '' said Gabriel.
'' Yep. We have had a lot of fun adventures here. Right, Father '' said Jacob.
'' We have indeed, but I think it is time that you went on your own adventure within one of God's many worlds '' said Gabriel.
'' What do you mean father? '' said Jacob.
'' Well. Clearly, you have shown that you think like an adult. Which means that you can be responsible '' said Gabriel. '' So I know, that you're ready, my son '' he continued.
'' Do you really mean it, father? '' said Jacob and Gabriel looked at him with a smile on his face.
Jacob jumped up in the air from his father's embrace in celebration.
'' I can not wait. There are so many places and things that I want to see. Not to mention the things I want to do. I also want to make lots of new friends '' said Jacob while running around Gabriel.

'' Yes... yes. I know that new things can be exciting, but you must always remember..'' said Gabriel and then kneeled in front of Jacob holding his shoulders.
'' You must be careful my son. You are not like everyone else. you have been blessed with the power of creation from God. A power whose only limit, is your own imagination. you can create anything and any power you want, but you do remember that I myself, have for now put limiters on the things, powers and abilities that you can create. Right, my son? '' said Gabriel while looking into Jacob's eyes.
'' I remember, Father '' said Jacob with a smile.
'' Good, but most important of all. Is that you are only part human. You are also part angel and part dragon. You remember that as well, right my son? '' said Gabriel.
'' I do, father ''
'' Very well then. I assume that you want to leave immediately, so I.....'' But before Gabriel had a chance to finish his sentence. Jacob ran into his embrace once more and gave his father a tight hug and Gabriel hugged his son back. They hugged each other for a couple of minutes.
'' Right. I am ready to leave now father '' said Jacob.
Gabriel looked at his son and smiled. He then stood back up.
'' Very good my son. I shall now remove the limiters I put on your teleportation and mind reading abilities, but remember that only read the minds of others in an emergency and use your gift - the power of creation - carefully now. You are limited, but that does not mean that your gift is not dangerous when used unchecked '' said Gabriel.
'' I will be careful. I promise father '' said the small boy in front of Gabriel.
'' And one last thing before you go, my son '' said Gabriel while looking at Jacob with a smile '' remember that there is nowhere you could go, that I could not follow. Call for me and I shall be there '' He continued.
'' I will, father '' said the young child with a smile on his face looking up at his father who no longer could hold back his tears.
Jacob closed his eyes and focused, his whole body then lit up and then he vanished from within Limbo.
Gabriel wiped the tears from his face and returned back to God's side.
