The Legendary Synod Youth Council

The ten met for the last time in the sanctuary of their headquarters, a sanctuary that was fast disintegrating.

“We have no more time. We cannot afford to stay here any longer. We have to leave now.” One among them spoke.

The ten looked at each other, their secret utmost in their minds.

“We will protect it at all costs, whatever the price. This is our legacy.”

He spoke fast. “We will use our talents. One each. We will create a trail, one that will enable those that come after us to uncover the secret. This way, we will never be lost. I believe that one day, someone will follow our trails, piece together the puzzle and uncover the truth. Then we shall be able to return.”

The ten agreed.

Ten Men. One heritage.

Ten talents. One legacy.

Talents. Gifts. Only one each but abundant as a group. Quickly, each used their talents to create a trail that when pieced together, would lead to the ultimate discovery.

Ten as diverse as can be. Yet each cannot stand alone. Only the unity of ten would bring about the truth, as it has been, as it should be.

With that, they came together for the last time and put their hands together. Eyes closed, they felt each other’s faith, each other’s passion, each other’s hope.

One last grip of hands. One last nod at each other.

They separated. One in each direction. Ten shadows radiated outwards from a common center, all moving too fast for anything more than a glance at them. The sanctuary collapsed. They continued moving away, away from each other, away from their land, away from their legacy. However, they believed that the trails they left behind would more than suffice in protecting their secret from the undeserving and in leading the deserving to the truth. They just had to bide their time and wait for the day where they can come together again in all their glory.

One day there will rise a group brave enough to restore the Christian truth.

One day they will see their legacy uncovered.

One day they will return in triumph.

Yes, one day…
