title: Wading The Journey
author: Tisdale, Karen C.
description: Wading the Journey refers to the wading most people do in place throughout lifes journey that they have been destined to be involved in.    A set of wedding bands are commissioned from a local jewelerin Scotland in the early 1800's. The jeweler goes on to engrave the inner part of the rings with the inscription, 'Wearers are joined far past eternity'. Thus the curse of the rings began. The young couple journey to Southern North American in what was then known as the Louisiana Territory. The couple sets a wedding date of July 16. The couple would both die before the wedding date having never worn the rings.      At this point it was realized by higher powers that the rings were meant for the greater good, the birth of the second coming, the blessed child.  Insight of this, seven Legions were brought together to help in the journey the rings would take, and the protection eventually of the couple that would bring the Blessed Child to be.      After the deaths of the first couple the rings resurfaced every twenty-five years.  Couples who came into possession of the rings would share the same fate after picking the same date of July 16. That was until Vance Leblanc in 1982 came across and bought the rings in a small shop in the French Quarter.  Vance would become the first person to be in possession of the rings and actually place one on his finger and wear it. He then has the other delivered to the young lady he felt should have it.  Years would past and the ring on Vance's finger, with all its power, would seek out and find its mate.  Only problem is that Vance, having given up on ever finding the one that got away settles and asks someone else, Kylie Melancon, to marry him.  Trouble begins when he finds the wearer of the matching ring, 'Celeste Duhé. He pursues her then tries to break it off with Kylie but she threatens to destroy him.       The legions step in and do everything in their powers to make sure Vance and Celeste get together and stay together. Which is made even more difficult when Evil itself steps in.  It takes all of the Legions, along with all that’s good on earth, to help in the final journey after the Blessed Child is born then taken by evil.
