"Ah, but you feel that Evil will corrupt no matter what, and since I have spent so much time down there, I must also be corrupted." she says. "Fair Game. If I tried to pretend that I had no evil thoughts I would be a liar. And if I tried to pretend that I never did an evil act while I was down there I would be trying to fool only myself. No, Sandy knows more about this than he has said; he was my "confessor" while I was still in the other realm."

"In any case, we still have a lot of souls to send to heaven." I point out. And turn back to the line waiting anxiously. "Next!"

Joyti turns back to the other souls and looks around. The pain is still there, even though she knew it would be, knew that it wouldn't simply disappear when she got out of that other realm. But it doesn't make it any easier.

Many years of fighting it all alone kick in and she decides that maybe she needs to be somewhere else also. She walks to the back of the apt and heads into the bedroom.

There is a 'negation in the air' as though a ballon has just imploded and stayed in the collapsed state, i.e. a hole.

But all eyes and ears left in the room, turn at the sound of a hearbreaking wail that sounds like a Bride whose wedding day has just been crushed. I turn to the others........make that other.......and say "sounds like my Bride is having the P.M.S., Post Married State. I think I am needed in the other room." and I walk into the bedroom.

"Crap" mouths sandy. "Just what I didn't need. LIAM!!!"

The centuar jumps, but if it wasn't for my battle trained skills, I wouldn't have noticed it.

"Field Marshall Liam, Front and Center!!"

"Well, actually as of now, your are 'Field Marshall'. Your word will be as good as mine. You take the women that are just needing someone to say, 'Your Forgiven', and say it. They will even tell you that is all they want. You know the kind. Like this one here".

And Sandy turns to one of the spirit ladies next to him and says, "What it you require to be set free?"

She looks from one to the other, Liam back to Sandy and back to Liam.

"I would just like someone to hear me and understand."

"Alright" he says, "But first I would like to make clear to all in this room," the voice not really rising, but so well projected it stops the milling and the murmur, "That when the this man 'Field Marshall Liam" speaks, it is if I said it. If he says your forgiven, take it as so, he will talk to you and ask you what you need. If you need only 'a penence and forgiveness', then you have all served your penetence and are hereby forgiven, so I decree, Lord-Captian General of the Army School of Mellryn. I also the high Confessor, and so can forgive a lot of so called sins."

He stops and takes a breath. Liam looks slightly taken back, as though he is not sure where this is going.

Around us, several of the spirits turn bright white and disappear. I look and the lady is still standing there. "What further do you need sister?" You heard that simple penece..."

"Yes, yes, I heard that, "she snaps" but I need a man to forgive me. I done a man wrong or so I thought, later when I saw him in hell, I found out that it wasn't a wrong, but a misunderstanding. Still, he was hurting and couldn't find in his heart to forgive himself, but said that if I could find a man who would hear my story, and say0 'I forgive' and mean it, then I could be freed. I just need a man to say that to me."

Sandy turns to Liam and says, "You know I think this one is right up your ally."

Turning back to the women he says "Remember, if he says it, I said it, and my word is golden.

"I was supposed to be meeting him for a date. Had I kept the date he would have asked for my hand and his parents would have been happy. They had picked me for him. I couldn't do it, I just couldn't and so I ran away and ended up in a brothel. He married another young girl and was slain in battle, and his soul had negative balance because of the war atrocities he committed, as do all soliders."

She stop for a moment and drys her eyes. They are wet and her ghostly skin glows green under the glistening droplets.

"For years I was sure it was my fault the got killed in battle with a negative soul. He was mad from rejection. Or so I thought. He later confessed that he didn't really love me either and he really wanted to marry someone else, but the parents would approve."

"So we both end up in hell for things that we did to one another, and have to learn to forgive. All I need is for your to say you forgive me and I can go to heaven."
