"The Spirit loves all His creation and He is always willing to forgive us when we have erred. He always wants to bring us Home. We need to seek forgiveness in honesty and turn back from our wrongs, but He will always grant us pardon and welcome us back into His heart."
"Papa always stressed the Spirit's profound sense of forgiveness," Flindra agreed.
"So think about it – the Ansu are the Spirit's children, too. I'm certain their evil actions cause Him the deepest of all possible sorrows, but they are still His children."
Flindra was clearly stunned and her hand touched her lips as she breathed in swiftly in surprise. "Oh," she finally whispered. "I never thought about that."
"The Spirit aids us in standing fast against the Ansu menace, but He won't destroy them."
"So they always have a chance for redemption," Flindra finished.
"It does explain things," Kewero noted. "I may be totally wrong in my belief in this matter, but I am certain of the Spirit's love and the hope of His forgiveness."
"There’s a lot to think about."
"There is, but today I think you need to learn about the Ansu so we can stand fast against them. Are you ready to continue?"
Flindra nodded.
"I’ve learned in my years of study that there is a hierarchy within the ranks of the Ansu. The chief authority is centered with the Kwetwer, which means the Four. Each one of the Kwetwer has different powers and spheres of influence. They are in constant contact with the reality of Darkness. They are extremely dangerous individually. They are nearly unbeatable when their powers are combined.
"There was only one of the Kwetwer present with the forces of the Ansu when they swept through our world a millennium ago. Only one was sufficient to destroy our greatest champion, King Meldh. After the Kwetwer defeated our champion, the Ansu commenced a campaign of destruction. They destroyed so much they apparently assumed our world would collapse and disappear into chaos. Then they departed to other places."
Flindra shook her head. "Why destroy us? Wouldn't the strength of Darkness increase if they corrupted us instead?"
