Ivan left him alone, and for a moment, regret stabbed Jensen's relief. Ivan bore him no ill will, and the officer was also bestowed the same Gift as Jensen. Why did he want to hide it? Was he still ashamed?
He couldn't think about it right now. Faces turned and people began to point. Jensen recognized the outline of the Ascendancy looking down upon them. He had never been in the man's physical presence. Only seen him in online playback or streamed live.
As he addressed the crowd, memories of standing at the pulpit himself returned. He had spoken before stadiums before. What must the Ascendancy see right now? Faces too small to make out details, but with the Gift, maybe he could see more than Jensen ever did.
Then a mighty storm erupted, one unseen. So much of the power was worked, Jensen trembled before it. Those around him were frozen with awe, but they were ignorant of the raging storm. How must the Hebrews quaked before the wonder of God?! Jensen understood their fear, now.
As he watched the building melt and be reformed, he was transfixed, and silent tears leaked from the corners of his eyes. So much power! The flows were more than his eyes could witness. He wanted to look away, but could not bring himself to do so.
Weeping, he wiped his face with his hands and craned his neck upward, taking in the beauty erected before them.
