Chapter 27

Down the Memory Lane

Landsberg Prison 1924

“Where are we?”Mathew asked.

Jin’s was silent and Mathew struggled but found the Angel’s arms strong and unrelenting “Please tell me what’s going on. You’re not going sacrifice my sister, too, are you? I must go back and protect Sarah!”

When Jin still did not reply, Mathew clamped his jaws.

“Do you know how I feel?”

Jin was silent.

“Jin, did you hear me?”

No reply

“Are you even human? Can you understand my feelings? My sister is there in the middle of a forest.”

Jin finally spoke “I am not human. I am an Angel, and that identity comes with responsibility. However, I was once a human. I understand.”

“But…”

“Sit tight, Mathew.”

Jin’s flat tone jolted Mathew out of his tantrums and he sat tight and quiet like a tamed child.

The powerful steed galloped down a tunnel of light. Mathew watched the surroundings change like a kaleidoscopic map of colors. At times he shivered from a wintery chill; at other moments he began to sweat from a burning sensation. He felt as if he were travelling through the seasons.

They left the tunnel and landed on a lawn, next to a stone-paved road. The path of light disappeared and Mathew saw a building in front of them. He rubbed his eyes in an effort comprehend the foreign and ancient-looking architecture.

Jin dismounted and helped Mathew to the ground. Mathew nearly stumbled and grabbed Jin’s arm for balance.

“What is this all about?”

“I will show you the reason for this struggle, this fight, and this war between us and Demons. I am letting you see the importance of staying strong and fighting.” Jin replied.

“But Sarah...?”

“She is in safe hands. Come.”

“Where are we?”

“Germany.”

“Why we are in Germany when we faced mortal danger back in America””

Jin grimaced. “Mathew, you will only get this experience once in your lifetime. A man learns most when he learns to hold his tongue.”

Mathew swallowed. “Fine.”

Jin smiled and led the boy up the building’s stairs.

“Wait, I think I had seen this building before. I …” Mathew said.

“Landsberg Prison.” Jin muttered.

“In 2018, I don’t think it is still a prison. It is a museum or something.”

“This is not 2018,” Jin said.

Mathew furrowed his brow as he took in his surroundings.

“It is 1924, Mathew.”

“But how …”

“This is time travel, my friend. I have to make you see the point. I am making this exception for you, a human being.”

Mathew winced. “Thank you Lord Jin, I am deeply gratified.”

“You are ready to start?” Jin asked.

When Mathew nodded, Jin clapped, and they found himself in a dimly lit room, a cubicle about ten feet by fifteen. A lamp on the wall shed a frail light.

Mathew shielded his nose. “The stench! How can anybody stay here?”

Jin did not reply but simply looked towards a corner of the cell.

As his eyes adjusted to the dim light, Mathew began to see the outline of a man sitting on a bed with a thin mattress. The man concentrated on a paper pad that he held before him. His facial features were obscured
