Long time ago near a mountain called (at that time) Saraiabbaiga (or something that sound like this) there's a little cave with an idol of the god.
Baal was a bloodthirsty god so in front of the idol there's a stone ara for sacrifices with grooves for the blood flood towards a little tank under the feet of god.
We was there for a purification rite. The priest, a very old man (45 years old, for that era he was very old), with the ceremonial dagger (it says donated from the god to the first priest) was ready to purify the clan through a dual virgin (a girl and a boy) sacrifice (the virgin blood is more appreciated from the god).
For the rite the first was the boy covered completely only by a linen sheet.
The priest raises the dagger and declaim the prayer.
A shake ran over the idol, a light went across the ceiling and some words was listen from anybody.
The shocked priest was stuck, petrified, watching the lighted man (LM from now) and said something like this:
- the big god spoken… only you can understand what he wants… speak, say us what the god want.
- Ohhh they didn't understand the words… magnificient… I can say what I want… cool - so LM was thinking but LM said:
- Save the infant, they have a long life to live, but… - LM took a moment -
give me a cup of your blood for the Fire, one for the Earth, one for the Air, one for the Water and one for purify your Spirit and… - LM took another moment - when your blood disappear from the tank kneel and lay your face in the tank… - LM took a breath - and destroy all you can see here.
Anybody was dismayed, the silence fall down in the cave.
The priest said: - If so want the god, so you must do, stranger, but after you will destroy all, what we must do for the god
- I don't know wise old man, the god didn't say anything… but now… give me the dagger and go out. I must pray the god to give me strenght before the sacrifice.
The priest handed LM the dagger with both hands bending the head… after that everyone gone out from the cave.
For many time LM was absorbed in his thoughts: "what I must do? why I've lied (really I only heard noise)? how many time I must wait before start the distruction?" and… after that… "what I can say them for stopping this orrible rite?"
Another quake shake all. LM thought "It's the moment… so I can say the god talked to me again."
LM gave a little injury himself on the wrist for scene and start the distruction with all LM had: wooden poles, clubs, torches and the dagger.
When LM went out the cave anyone was waiting for his words.
LM showed them him injury and said: - when I've done the sacrifice and the blood disappear the god spoken to me with this words: "my man destroy everything as I said and when done give them this words:" - LM took a moment and a breath - "my clan: I dislike your blood, it's dirty, impure" - a murmur in the crowd - " go in my world and try to change yourself. When you will be pure I'll return.", so the god spoken to me
The silence fall down over the crowd.
A murmur rises and only a work LM understood: "how?"
LM continued: - the god said your blood is impure and wanted mine but not my life so, I think, you must go around the world to learn and understand the cause of all and you do not have to kill anyone for the god
Said that LM left that country for another land.
