Faust trotted up to Dust, who was grazing with her herd.
“My dear Dust. Do you have a moment?” Faust asked Dust kindly.
Dust looked up and smiled. “Of course!” She trotted over to Faust and nuzzled her neck. Faust returned the affection.
“I have some news for you and a request. Your friend Gilda has started her journey down a very dark path. Do not fear though! All will work out if we are patient and move with the Maker’s Will,” Faust assured her. “Soon, I will come for you. You will need to begin your training for your part in this journey. Will you be ready?”
“For Gilda, and for you? I am always ready. Yes!” answered Dust.
“Excellent. Enjoy these moments of peace. When I return for you, you will need to be strong and face struggles that will be difficult to overcome. You will overcome them because you are not trotting this path alone. We will travel it together, hoof to hoof. Together, we will see the Maker’s Will overcome all that stands opposed. Because of what you do, not just your friend, but many will be saved from the darkness that currently consumes their hearts,” stated Faust.
“In gratitude for all that has been given me and the mercy shown to me, I could do no less. I’m happy to be of any service to you and the Maker,” smiled Dust.
Faust nuzzled Dust. “And I am happy you are here. We will get through this together my dear child.”
