Number Meaning 소설 & 이야기

“Look sister, read this.” As Jasmyne read, the text described how the number nine was indicative of the Beast, how when the numbers 666 were multiplied by any number from one to nine, they always had a way of returning to nine. It also explained how the number nine was equal to the letter I, the letter of the English alphabet representing the human self.

Elyn asked curiously. “His name is Alan Pham. Anthony says Alpha's name suits him better." As the first letter of the alphabet, alpha in Greek numerals came to represent the number 1.

"Really?" Her smile widened. "Ten is a magical number, sweetie. It's a symbol of something extraordinary. If you call for help that way, your guardian angel will always find you." --- Back to the Present I shut my eyes tight, her words echoing in my mind like a lullaby I'd forgotten years ago.
