When the son of Aba Gvoha had grown to become a fine young man, the maker said to Aba Gvoha, his mirror-partner, “I need you to take your son to a mountain that I will show you.”

Aba Gvoha loaded his donkey in the darkness, then woke his son and told him that his mirror-partner required him to kill a lamb on the mountain.

And the mountain was a journey of three days.

At the end of the third day, Aba Gvoha saw the silhouette of that mountain in the twilight.

His son also saw the silhouette and asked, “Where is the lamb that we will slay on the mountain?”

Aba Gvoha answered, “The maker will provide the sacrifice.” But did not understand the three levels of truth that he was speaking.

Being a captive of time, Aba Gvoha could not hear the 3-part harmony of the past, the present, and the future as they sang together.

When Aba Gvoha and his son had climbed the mountain together and the kairos moment was upon them, the maker told Aba Gvoha to kill his son.

The maker told Aba Gvoha to kill his son.

The maker told Aba Gvoha to kill his son with the knife that he had used to cut himself on the day they made their mirror-agreement.

The black-black storm of despair swirled behind the eyes of Aba Gvoha as he pulled the knife from his belt and raised it high above his head. The scream from his soul made no sound that could be heard, but it disappeared the sun, the moon, and all the stars.

The knife of Aba Gvoha moved like a flash of lightning.
