Lucian the Healer

Chapter 1

Lucian's POV

The first time I healed was when I was sixteen.

I remember it was Linda's puppy that fell from her cage, hitting her body against the hard floor.

Linda was crying while my uncle and his wife held her.

I took the puppy in my arms, feeling the tiny broken bones. They pushed themselves inside of me before I knew what was happening.

The puppy jumped back to life, running up and down, my bones were on fire.

"You fixed her." Linda screamed, hugging me.

My uncle picked me up, his eyes wide open.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"I don't know."

I felt like vomiting, the pain in me was terrifying. My uncle's wife later pressed my body with hot water.

I winced and shouted from the pain,it was really painful.

"How did I manage to get this pain?" I wondered.

"Do you know what went wrong?" I asked her.

"I don't know dear".

I sighed despite the pressure of the pain.

"But I believe it's a miracle," she said.

I scoffed, "Miracle? I don't think I believed in that. Where was the miracle when my parents died? God could have saved them from the cold hands of death.

They served God and were always engaging in church activities and kingdom endeavours. Why did they have to die?

"But why did a miracle not happen when my parents were dying?" I asked.

She seemed to smile, "We don't question God Lucian, he knows all," she said.

"But he could have saved her, aunt."

"He knows what's best and what is good."

"But he allowed them to die."

"God is not to be blamed, it was their time to go," she said

"Do you know what you are?" she asked

"What?"

"You're a miracle," she replied.

I kept quiet thinking of how I was a miracle.The calming relieve of the warm water made me drift off to sleep.
