Journey of a Soul

Once upon a time, there lived an old man in a small town accused of Blasphemy
The word spread like wildfire the madman claimed that the Earth revolved around the Sun and our planet is not the center of the Universe.
The Temple was furious, it was Blasphemy. God's Will states our planet was created at the center of the universe and the Sun, stars, and moon revolve around the planets to guide us.
The town was cruel about its Blasphemy law, so terrified were the people no one ever dared to question the religion. So petrified that people stopped talking or even writing about the Blasphemy itself. There was no science, no stories, everyone laid, and submitted their will at the mercy of their lord that no soul ever dared to even take the name of the dark.
Before being brought to Trial, the old man's belief would be put to the test.
Whenever there was a crime against the GOD, the culprits' beloved would be tested before God's Mercy. If GOD had any, then the loved one would be saved from being beheaded. However, No One Ever saw God's Mercy.
But the old man had no one, and now his pride needed to be destroyed
He was to be paraded throughout the town where everyone would greet him with human feces and whatnot with a garland of pig's head around his neck.
The humiliation could not even scratch the surface of the Oldman's pride, who was still smiling. As if he had taken a dip in the fountain of youth.
The Chief of Religious Police came close to the old man, who spit on his place and laughed. Now furious, the Chief took out his baton and struck hard on the left side of the old man's skull who fell unconscious
As the old man slowly gained his consciousness he started hearing a thundering crowd gathered to pelt him to death. His vision was now clear and could see a crowd nearly of a thousand angry, eager to kill him.
An old man who posed no harm to anyone out there was now being crucified.
He then remembered how decades ago the Religious Army bound to protect them was now raging wars across neighboring nations & tribes bringing them under the adobe of the True God.
They took his son with them, never to return. Years later the old man's wealth was taken away from him, saying his son owed money.
Now when he had nothing to lose, his wife was murdered in a riot instigated by Religious Police who left the rioters to burn the village to bring another man accused of Blasphemy out, so JUSTICE could be served.
The priest came close to the Old Man, praying to God for Mercy upon death.
Hearing this the Oldman started to laugh, and the priest asked if he wanted to redeem his sins for one last time by asking for forgiveness.
The old man laughed hard and said forgiveness If I ask for forgiveness, what shall you'll ask then?
The priest wasting no time signaled for stone-pelting.
"In the ancient texts, the Devil says that if a person of belief is wronged by the people who claim to be people of belief, then that man should look into the GOD's Eyes and pray to me, so I can answer your prayers."
As people prepared to pelt stones at the old man, he stared right into the Sun murmured few words, and blew his mouth
Everyone thought a sinner was giving them blessings. The crowd of over a thousand hurdled stones continuously for at least 5 mins
Once it was signaled to stop, an officer went near the body with shattered limbs, amputated hands, missing jaw, and stones struck all over the body both the eyes were punctured and his lifeless body fell upon the ground.
He's dead, announced the officer.
The crowd cheered.
Then, slowly a large shadow figure with razor-sharp hands emerged behind from the place where the old man lay dead, the crowd went silent, as the officer turned back, the beast held him side by side and tore him apart, and everyone ran in chaos, the beast ran and plunged up on the crowd,
And there were continuous SCREAMS until everything went SILENT
