Ayaya came to me smiling broadly. I smiled as well. It was an encouraging sign of a possible change in her people's heart.
A tribal leader was nearby and I made my way to him, "What's going on below?" I asked, as I looked over the wall for myself.
"Nothing, thanks to you."
It seemed he was right as I saw no suspicious activity going on in the enemy camp below.
The tribal leader spoke again, "Tomorrow……."
I nodded encouragingly and he continued as his voice strengthened, "I and my tribe will be going with you. I believe. I have been blind for so long and now it is as if I am seeing for the first time."
I saw the sincerity of his statement reflected in his eyes and I reached toward him and hugged him to me like a brother. Falteringly at first, his arms closed around me, and then strengthened to match mine.
Encouraged beyond words I drew back from him and hoped that he was but the first of many to move beyond the past and accept the promise of the future that had been so freely given by El Elyon to all mankind.
"Sir?" A warrior nearby called out with concern and I turned back to the wall and looked over it. Dark cloaked individuals, though few in number, had advanced to stand widely spaced out before the wall.
I had a hunch which was confirmed a moment later by my friend Philuke when he sent an arrow speeding off toward the nearest cloaked individual. The arrow passed clear through the hooded figure as if he wasn't there.
"They're of the fallen Malachim."
"What will happen now?" The tribal leader breathed out.
I shook my head, "Who knows, but I will say that whatever it is, it will cause this wall to fall in two days' time."
The cloaked henchmen of darkness began to hum loudly in a way that no human could make or much less sustain indefinitely as they were. They seemed to achieve a desired resonance between them and when they did I felt the wall beneath me begin to vibrate.
"The wall is actually shaking!" My new friend said in a tone that sounded just as shaken.
Nodding I turned away from the enemy.
"What do we do?" The tribal leader asked me desperately.
I shrugged, as I manifested a spirit of calmness and said, "Well, for starters I'm going to go get something to eat and then I'm going to get some more rest."
He stared at me in disbelief and I continued, "Then, after I'm rested, I intend to leave with my force of warriors and all who wish to enter the Kingdom of Shamayim tomorrow morning.
