Wheeling Gull Isle The Apocryphon of John

hope you don't mind me popping in! Can ignore and I'll delete if so.

Bartholomew. The name carried with the sea-salt wind. He remembered the name spoken to him when Heda gave her lessons. How he had taught her all she knew of the word of God. It was a prophet that Malakai would have liked to have met, to learn from, to simply listen to as he preached. 

That name is what propelled Malakai forward, who otherwise was content to watch the newcomer and the woman who know claimed this land as hers from a distance. 

I know the name. Malakai called out, leaving the slop of the green land and onto the sandy shores towards the pair. He paid the woman little mind, for it was he which caught Kai's interest. My mother spoke of him quite fondly, though his teachings of our Holy Father has sent him far from here now. And for quite some time.
