As the last story, this one isnt real but it could have been possible.

On the contrary, the last story is only imagination, because it would never be possible. Im sorry but its a little bit long and I divided it in two parts. Im going to put the second part in the third forum. I hope you enjoy it!

FIRST PART

27th June 1033 in the morning - Rouens Monastery

-It is written in the Bible, in the Apocalypse. He will be released after a thousand years. But, a thousand years after his birth or after his death? Said Glauber, prior of the Rouens monastery, while he was looking at the walls of the dark cell. The room was in silence. The rest of the monks were in the church, praying. -Three years ago, we saw that star which crossed the whole sky during some nights. It was what is called a comet. In that year some fires devastated a lot of churches and lords houses in the region and an epidemic spread out in the whole Gaul. One year later, some villagers saw an enormous creature in the sea, near the coast there was fear in his eyes but he continued talking the Human Being is going to pay for all his sins... I want... I want you to inform me about all what happens in the village. We have to be more careful than ever... When Raoul left the cell, the prior stayed sat in front of the table... thinking

27th June 1033 in the afternoon Village

When Raoul arrived at the main house of the village, the lord, Helgaud, was talking with his principal serf. -She live in the forest, with her husband , said the serf and sometimes she comes to the village to buy food and... she often stay in some houses during a time... Then, she comes back to the forest. -Try to know in which houses does she often stay ordered Helgaud. Raoul waited until the serf left the room and then he asked: -Is she a prostitute? -Thats what it seems, but its worse. If she has husband, she is an adulteress.

28th June 1033 in the morning Monastery

Glauber was reading in his cell when he heard a racket outside. He get worried because lately the monastery was always in silence. What was happening now? He hurried up and went out. What he saw paralysed him...The sky was red. It had the colour of the blood... and there was a big black circle in the firmament. He started to tremble. Raoul, who was with the monks, saw how the prior Glauber went into the monastery running. Raoul went to the cell of Glauber. This one had taken the Bible and was reading it. -What happens lord? asked Raoul It was only what is called an eclipse. -... only an eclipse... whispered Glauber while he was walking from one side to another.

28th June 1033 in the morning Forest

Aliena was feeding the hens. Her husband was arriving in that moment. He had been in the grassland with his four sheeps. -Go to the village he said and try to exchange that eggs for some wheat. If you cant change them, you know what you have to do. Aliena was a pretty woman and he knew it. She wasnt very young but her body was still inviting, although lately it seemed thinner than ever. Her skin was acquiring a pale tone and unhealthy. Aliena knew that what she did was forbidden but refusing was vain and dangerous.

SECOND PART

Here you are the second part. Im sorry, maybe it is a little unpleasant, if you are so scrupulous I advise you not to read it.

28th June 1033 in the afternoon Village

Glauber and Raoul were in the lords house, in the village, and Helgaud was talking with them when his serf came into the room. He was out of breath: -She is in the village, in the shoemakers house. -We have to stop hersaid Glauber, who had already found out the problem and he firmly believed that things like that had the blame of the latest happenings, Gods warnings. -If that is going to help the people to be calmer and continue working as always... said Helgaud, who had been infected by the fear too all right...

Shoemakers House Aliena was sat in a dark room, waiting, naked. That day she hadnt been able to sell the eggs... The silence was broken by the sound of a door: a men, who was known as the shoemaker came into the room without saying anything. Aliena looked at him, a shadow among the darkness, a big shadow that was approaching her, a shadow that catch her and shoved her towards the bed. Aliena fell on the mattress and closed the eyes waiting to feel pain. -------------A congregation had gathered in front of the shoemakers house. Some villagers were waiting to see what was going to happen and they saw how Glauber and Helgaud took out Aliena from the house. Under the daylight, the naked body of Aliena seemed unhealthier than ever, paler than ever. She was bleeding. Bloods drops fell down her legs and she had been knocked in the face. Healgaud and Glauber dragged her to the middle of the village, where there was a wide post. There they tied her feet, her hands and her neck. In this moment all the villagers were present at the event. The people wanted her to die, and Glauber more than anybody. She represented the devil for them. Her body helped to create this image. It was the only thing that shined in the middle of the rain and the damp landscape. If she died, everybody would be calmer. In fact, they were there for this, for seeing how she died. Aliena was paralysed. She didnt know very well why they had tied her, but she imagined what they were going to do with her. She didnt doubt it when Helgaud raised his hand with a knife towards her neck. She only felt the steel sliding between her skin and little by little the peoples faces were becoming vague. A big calmness could be breathed then, that afternoon. People had something to talk about, and they felt how the village was calmer now. Maybe God had rewarded them for that...
