Urtholan responded with, "Your problem is multidimensional."
"How so?"
"The Gargons have traits of my kind that fell from Grace. They have abilities, although limited, to move between the lower dimensions and this is how they avoid detection and capture. Gargons as a whole are rather stupid, but when motivated and controlled by one of the fallen ones they can be quite formidable."
"What do I have to do to keep them from escaping by entering into another dimension? Can I win a fight one-on-one with one of them?"
Urtholan smiled, "Those are two questions best prayed about, I think. The Father is always listening. You should pray to him as nothing is impossible for the Creator of everything to accomplish."
Urtholan began to walk and I knew he was about to disappear, "Why Urtholan?"
Urtholan stopped.
"Why would the Creator allow members of your kind to do such evil as the creation of things such as the lion men and these Gargons?
"We all have choices Benaiah. Some choose poorly. Very poorly. Yet for your kind there is special favor shown."
"How so?" I asked, puzzled.
"Man was made in the image of El Elyon. Your potential is endless and yet how few of you there are who choose to live up to your potential. Do not be so quick to judge the faults of others Benaiah. It is a matter better left in the hands of El Elyon." Urtholan disappeared then and I was alone with my thoughts.
I hadn't been ready, without Urtholan's help, on the streets of the city against the powers of darkness. What made me think that I was ready to go against them now?
I looked off in the distance towards the group as I felt the weight of Susori's gaze on me. At a lack of a better way of expressing my extreme lack of knowledge and experience I asked, "El Elyon help me."
That didn't seem like enough, but I didn't know what to ask specifically and yet El Elyon must already know what I needed. El Elyon did know.
So then what was left for me to do?
The answer seemed unbelievably simple. Children needed to be saved and while I was but one man against superior forces, if I was in El Elyon's will it didn't matter. If I wasn't in El Elyon's will then I would die at the hands of these Gargons.
I really didn't want to die now. In fact, since meeting Susori I'd never been looking forward to continued life more than I was now.
It was very tempting to just take my wife and escape the predicament of this situation and let the people of Crona cope with their own mess, but I very much felt that such an action would be against the will of El Elyon. Such an action would be against the loving nature that El Elyon had instilled in my heart.
