And another thing… tower of Ba-El sounds like Tower of Babel where God confused all the languages and yet here is a strange stranger with the power to make everyone understand each other. The scene reminded me of Pentecost in the book of Acts in the Bible too, where people hear the disciples speaking in their own languages.
Acts 2:8 (ESV)
[8] And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?
Exactly. That tower of Babel Story in Genesis is a hell of a thing. It's a caution against something, but I'm not sure exactly what. Many ways to read it.
But, as you've gathered, from Dance's comments, I'm not sure everybody speaking the same language leads to paradise.
Dude! I love where this story is going. This is so cool. Can’t wait for the next episode. Priest of Ba-el. Reminds me of the foreign god Ba’al that the Israelites would worship instead of the one true God in the Old Testament of the Bible. This world and story are so cool, and if that were all this narrative had I’d still be loving it and want to keep reading but it also has characters I love! This book has a lot going for it. I’m glad I’m along for the ride.

I wish that crystal existed. I’d love to be able to understand all languages.

I'm glad you are along for the ride as well. While I haven't been posting, I have been writing and you will get more soon.
