Chapter 14 - My Sword

I do not know when the sword appeared. I knew I had it in my teens, but I never really saw it and I do not remember using it. Now I seem to use it routinely, maybe once a month, to clear out a big swath of demons from somewhere during some war. However I don’t really know a lot about it, even now.

It stays in my backyard. It stands straight up, about a mile high, and it burns with a blue flame. I know it is from God, but I do not know how those swords are made. I guess I know how to use it well enough, having actually fenced in normal life as a teen. But typically it just sits in my yard.

Years ago I realized that the sword doubled as a beacon. Angels see the sword from far distances and come to visit me and my family to work with us. I love that part of it, and consider it pretty igenious really. A flame from a sword that doubles as a beacon. Pretty cool really!

I am sure you have seen pictures of angels with their swords, but I doubt any of those visuals look like me with mine. Maybe one of these days I will commission my artist to draw a picture of me with my sword, but it has not happened yet. That may be because I am not sure such a menacing sight can be duplicated.

One of the interesting things about my sword is that the color of the fire changes depending on how the sword is used. When it is sitting in my background with the blade pointed straight up, the fire is like a typical bonfire signaling to angels around the house that this is a place where they can meet and hang out and work with me how they like. When I am travelling the fire seems like a blue flame, and it is very congruent to the sword and looks kind of like the flame from a Sterno can. When I use the sword to vanquish demons the flame is pure white as the enemies are flushed back to hell in a flurry of powerful God fire.
