"It has been two ages since I am residing in this good old cemetery. There are many notable citizens of 19th and 20th century New Orleans laid to rest here. Coming from a very diverse background, race, religion and culture it all seemed like a new gateway to me. Being a Muslim doesn't invalidate Jesus from our belief. In fact, no Muslim is a Muslim unless he believes in Christ. I believe the Christian faith offers tremendous resources for living faithfully in a pluralistic society, and doing so in a way that profoundly benefits that society. This can be seen in the history of the early Church as conveyed to us in Acts, all the way through to the positive contributions of religious people and religious institutions in modern American history. For practicing believers, healthy civic pluralism entails, in part, approaching the public with the public’s good in mind, rather than pursuing narrow self-interest.
My name is Candace and this is my story."

~ Another fine morning as the sun starts spreading its beans all over the horizon. The shots are taken inside the St. Louis Cemetery No.1 outside Candace's room where she is seen standing near a small table and on it was a red little box. She opens the box and pulls out a single red berry ~
Candace: They all are particularly screaming right now "Eat Us!" But I am saving it later today , when I have a special visitor who also happened to me my tag team partner this week at Lethal Lottery week one. Cassandra!
~ Candace smiles after calling her name and then places the berry in her mouth and chew, the sweetness enveloping her tongue ~
Candace: Gosh! They just increased the crave even more. But isn't that a human nature that it keeps demanding for more and more? We all know that nothing fulfills the stomach of a man except for the dust of grave. We all craving and keep craving for something. This is how we are utterly designed, a model for destruction and biologically no different than an animal that can sometimes lead itself to an unbearable consequences just to fulfill their certain desires. The angels seemingly protested or in a more appropriate term, they questioned God, that why is He willing to create a creature that will cause bloodshed and corruption on the earth? I guess they were right because no single species have caused so much corruption and mischief in the land than homo-sapiens. The lowest of the lowest among all the species without having traits for any proper self-defense neither a capability to assault another kind.
~ Candace closes that box and puts a tiny little velvet clothing on it ~
Candace: Yet still they are capable to invent such things that can fly in the air and land on the moon. This is what happens when you are given both the desires attached to your stomach and whatever is below it and also given an intellect. This is exactly what Angels were protesting for. Because they were wise enough to recognize that a beast with desires, when is given the intellect to think, to ponder, to plot, will use such power in a negative way for the most part. Hey! See! I am from Egypt and we have got a massive history dealing with such tyrants. Pharaoh - Ramses II, the one who challenged Moses and Aaron. What didn't he have? Everything that an ordinary man could ever desire. Power, Economy, you name it. Yet, still greedy and thus failed to abide by the law of God. Became rebellious, mischief in the land until he faced a severe consequences. What is he now? A History!
~ Candace moves herself to an unattractive mid-brown colored wood, sits on it and leans her back there, taking a deep breath ~
Candace: Wa'alikum Salam Warehmatullah, Lucas Balkan (Peace be with you too),
It is a big big surprise for me to actually recognize the fact that SFT also has hidden treasures. At least I am happy to know that someone can seriously understand the whole stereotype situation minorities in this country have gone and still going through. Because being an Arab means you might know how to fly an airplane. But being an Arab WITH Muslim faith can mean that you have got a whole Nuclear Reactor somewhere in your basement. People presumes, create a biased prejudice that you hate American just because you don't belong here and you are purely right. This is why Destiny Hunter, my former tag team partner in ICW, and her lover came up with this pigeonhole idea that Candace is a Muslim and thus obliged to hate America in one form or another.
~ Candace partially smiles but also nods her head in disappointment ~
Candace: People like them are THE MOST dangerous elements of our society and I won't be surprised if we have got more of such walkers in ICW and SFT locker rooms. May God guide them to the straight path.
~ Candace who was slowly rocking the chair suddenly stops and lean off her back, crossing her fingers while keep looking at the camera ~
Candace: Hold on for just one good second. You don't believe in God, right?! Well then the guidance prayer I said solely deserves a subjective "Amen" from me. You know, Lucas, you are right when you say that you don't have a moral code. You shouldn't have one and neither you have a right to talk about moral codes. Because as per your worldview, (Candace quotes Lucas) "Religion is a support, a crutch, for many people.", the whole concept of morality reincarnates itself as an illusion created by our own genes to survive and reproduce. Isn't that right? Or do you disagree with such interpretation because the sectarianism and the concept of denominations have also polluted the roots non-religious ideologies? Well I won't be not be surprised if that actually happened. Because what you just called is for nihilism and regardless of what non-pious decisions and actions you make it will still be meaningless by the end of the day. Verily, Lucas, You are no different than the Pharaoh, who needs a reconciliation. I don't underestimate your potential, don't get me wrong but this Tuesday Night at Titans the survival of the fittest is about to happen. You might be strong, but I am stronger. You might be smart, but I am smarter. You might be fast, but I am faster. Heavy debts are about to hit you because our collision at Lethal Lottery isn't a coincidence. I will be coming as Moses for your atonement until you rebel no more.
~ Candace again leans back to the chair and restarts rocking it slowly ~
Candace: This leaves to us to the second and but the third category superstar, Robert Saints. I am sorry Lucas, that you have to bear such man in your corner. Do I need to actually talk about him and waste my energy and time? Should I not utilize both of them by picking up some strawberries from my garden for my guest this evening? Well, I will not be unjust to him but hey, Robert, I can only say about you what is truth. Although you are one of the least superstars I have faced in ICW and I don't know how you actually get the job done in SFT but you are still the top banana of the Outsiders and I would honestly give you that. Not because you can actually fight but because you have enough potential to show up for the matches despite of receiving routinely spanking. I have beaten you for the World Tag Titles. I have beaten you in three-way Tag Team match a few weeks back and I have no shame in admitting that Déjà vu is about to hit you at Titans night. By the way, If you two wish to have your funerals in this cemetery than I can give you a straight discount on the coffins. Trust me, I am very kindhearted woman in some worst case scenarios.
~ Candace winks at the camera and keep rocking by maintaining her weight back and forth as the camera zooms out and fades to black ~
