Chapter 56 - Buried amongst the dead

"Dragon, hear the words of your faithful servant. The time is at hand. Darkness covers the face of the earth and instead of the church running to shine light; they are instead running around like a dog with a tail between its legs because their church is so unorganized. They're more focused on what would happen if the younger generation took over the church instead of our loveable favorite old times? That being said; I don't think they will pose much of a problem for you because they have 'problems' of their own that they believe are more important. Send your world down and take your rightful place as ruler of this desolate sheep stable that people call their home. When the world sees you and you tell them all that you've done then they no longer will come at you for fear and trembling but songs of praise and thanks for saving them. The throne….is…..yours!!!!"

"Woo, woo, woo!! Rex, what's happening? Why does it feel like the ground is moving beneath our feet?"

"Everybody please try to remain calm and stay indoors where there is light; for darkness is about to overrun us as we descend to earth."

"Descend!! I don't want to descend, Rex. I'm scared. If we truly are descending then that means Dragon has fulfilled what he said he was going to do. Our only hope right now lies with Sixth Star."

"Out of my way, strangers and aliens. Dragon, it's me, your most trusted servant!!! I'm coming for you. If you truly have done it then I don't want to stand her one more second without you in my presence."

"Noooooo!!! Don't jump over…..the side!!"

"Rex, we can't stop them. They want to meet their god so fast that they are willing to rush to meet him even if death truly does them part. That just means they will live eternally with their god."

"Their deaths will mean nothing to Dragon. They bring no holiness in what they do. Grab your loved ones and pray fervently for a miracle. God only knows what we could do with a Savior right about now."

" Leah!!! Leah!!! I've come back with an army. I first went to every church and then prophesied in the streets. We have ten thousand strong outside waiting your command. Leah? Where art thou?"

"Psst...over here quick. You won't find Leah here."

"Can you tell me where I may find her? It's important."

"You will find her where she has always dreamt to be…..resting by her brothers and sisters. I can show you the bodies if you want!"

"Bodies, plural!!!? What happened while I was away and please spare no details."

"Well, we were ambushed from all sides. They cornered us like wild animals while the pastor hid as many of us in here as he could. There was a brave young girl however Ellen I think her name was who not only fought back but convinced others to do so as well."

"Ellen had to convince you all to fight with her? I personally witnessed Ellen get baptized last week so brothers and sisters we are the army of the Living God. When an enemy is at our door then we should be the first line of defense and not ones who cower nor need convincing to pick up the sword; that the battle truly is ours to fight in. Who all did she convince and why weren't you helping?"

".............."

"I asked who she needed to convince!!!!!"

"She had to convince the pastor, sir. And the reason we didn't fight is that we couldn't. Once the pastor fled us in here Ellen's brother guarded it and would not let anybody else enter. It's not like we could push our way out around him or anything even if we wanted to."

" Why did you seek cover in the first place? Does not the Bible say honour your father and mother; respect your elders and those above you; but also help them when they fall and lose their path on the Truth? If I didn't have more prominent things to deal with at the moment then I would send my army upon you. Thankfully they're here for forces at play who are much sadder than you. I'll ask you again why did you hide; and this time don't give me a lame excuse saying because the pastor told me?"

"Here are the bodies sir. You weren't here so you couldn't possibly understand but if you were then you would be just as scared as we were. Ben almost peed his pants even."

"Leah!!! I'm here, I'm here. Oh what have they done to you that you deserve a death like this?"

"As I was saying; sounds of an enormous dragon were out there. Course no one saw it up close but it moved so swiftly from kill to kill that I fear it may never be stopped."

"Leah!! Her hand is warm. Her hand is warm!! Oh thank God. Someone get me medkit fast. The bullet must have only hit her sensory receptors causing her to drop like a rock."

"We don't have a medkit but we do have towels and rags."

"That'll do just fine. Listen to me closely now. Dunk the towels in COLD water but do not wring them out. Her daughter suffers from the same thing called Narcolepsy. Their bodies suddenly stop whether from an impact or just shutting down. They first turn ice cold and unmoving making it look like they're dead but then a few hours later their bodies start to warm back up. If not dealt with right away however then their bodies will warm up so fast that they'll start to burn. Don't worry Leah. I know you can't hear us right now but just know that we got you."

"As I was saying, we suffered many casualties of war and if it weren't for the wise pastor hiding us then I too would have been one of those bodies lying on the floor."

"Just shut up already and stop whining. You're not dead yet but if you don't help me move her away from the window then I can easily have it arranged for you to lie on the floor if that is what you desire."

"Uh no!! I'm going, I'm going!!"

"She is more valuable than you or I combined so be careful. To answer your doubts, does not Jesus say He is greater than any enemy or circumstance we face? So why do you doubt?

Growing up I thought that our floor was divided so that the dotted colored side where the chairs lay was representing all the sinners and doubters; and then the full red side carpet where the pew and band sat symbolized the holy side that was stained with Christ's blood. You could only walk on it if you were born again. Nowhere in my brain did I think that instead of the red side symbolizing Christ's blood that it would today literally be stained with the blood of the saints. As for your dragon; there has already been and still is a dragon today hiding in the shadows and seeking out whom he may devour but does not the Bible say Jesus has already conquered over him? It also says that, 'Satan is wise and cunning,' and in today's society I feel that to be of utmost truth. He has flipped society and the world so much so on its head that he had people believing that everything bad is from God while everything good is from him. It'll take a miracle to turn the world back on its right axis for it was God who put the world on its axis in the first place."

"I got the towels right here."

"Did you wring them out?"

"No sir. You told me not to."

"Good lad. Attention to detail are you. Well I thank you for listening. Everybody grab a towel and start dabbing Leah.

Leah, we almost got you girl. Just please hold on for a little longer that's all I ask."
