- Laith Taher 95
The Teacher, whose name was Jepson, was sitting
on the ground when Andrew and the guard entered the
building.
When Andrew saw the Teacher for the first time, he
felt that greatness incarnated in his body.
The Guard said, “This man wants to meet you and
says he wants to join us.”
The Teacher was very old. He had thick grey hair.
He had thick grey hair on his chin and a thick grey
moustache.
The Teacher said, “All right. Leave us alone.”
The guard left.
The Teacher said to Andrew, “Please, sit down.”
Andrew sat on the ground opposite to the Teacher.
The Teacher smiled. “Your facial features are not
strange to me. I have seen someone who looks like you, but
I cannot tell exactly who he is.”
Andrew replied, “My father was one of the
Protectors. His name is Lambert. He was killed during his
duties with the Protectors.”
“Yes, I know him well,” said the Teacher. “He was
one of the bravest and strongest Protectors. You should be
proud of him.”
Andrew felt happy for those words.
The Teacher stood up and poured coffee for
Andrew, who started drinking amazed by the modesty of
the Teacher.
