DEBORAH THE WARRIOR PRINCESS

Chapter 10: Sacrifice and service

Upon my arrival to the presidential villa, I practically had to sneak in, because it was Prince’s idea, he did not want to raise his father’s suspicions about what had happened. Prince went in to discuss with his father with the intention of distracting him, while I had to depend on the directions of the Holy Spirit to discover the location of the nuclear bomb (i.e. The NUFAME project), and then successfully applied Prince’s sneaky techniques to sneak out of the villa successfully. Don’t bother about the details of how I was able to sneak in and out of such a much secured place, I just knew that God was my shield and guide.
It was when I got to the entrance of the Sosthenian Presidential Villa that I was able to breathe at a normal pace.
Fortunately enough, the Calisthenian president had not yet fully established his control over Sosthenes, by the time I had arrived with the NUFAME project, my uncle and his cohorts were back in power, and the puppet leaders Mr. Benjamin put in the office were cooling their heels in jail. Within few hours, I was able to get Mr. Parker and my uncle together for a talk,
“Has my uncle told you everything about the NUFAME project?” I asked Mr. Parker.
“Yes. He told me everything. Were you and Prince nuts?!” Mr. Parker asked in a rather inquisitive manner.
His question was not my concern, but how we were going to deliver that bomb to a place of safety for de-fusion or detonation.
“I have a plan. Let me fly with my aircraft into space and then detonate it way up in space.” I responded.
Mr. Parker laughed, while my uncle was visibly displeased.
“You will be dead before you know it.” Came my uncle’s response.
“But her idea is the best we can actually come up with. Her specialized aircraft has the ability to fly into space and still come back in one piece.” Mr. Parker responded thoughtfully.
“Are you also nuts?!” My uncle asked his friend angrily, he continued, “What happened to the drones and…? We could just throw it into the ocean and wipe out all the fish in the world for all I care!”
“Mr. Stanley, you don’t seem to understand the gravity of this situation. Drones are not perfect, they can be hacked, and their control can be overruled! Besides that, we don’t even know what amount of extra damage that bomb carries apart from an explosion! Remember Ilsviper!” Mr. Parker responded in a very calm manner.
“I don’t care what happens to anyone. I made a promise to her father…” My uncle was saying, but Mr. Parker interrupted his statement.
“And I am sure she is ready to help you keep it!” Mr. Parker said.
Both men glanced at me for a while before continuing their conversation.
“I will help out in whatever way I can, my friend. But… if she is ready to bear the cost, I can assure you that she will come back alive. Deborah always seems to defy death. Let us trust her on this one.” Mr. Parker said with a tone of finality.
My uncle gave a deep sigh.
“Let us trust God.” I said to both men in a bid to reassure them.
And in the midst of the tense atmosphere, some soldiers broke in.
“We have arrested the son of the Calisthenian president and all his security aides!” The head of the security officers of the villa spoke.
I was shocked to hear of his availability, before I could say a word to the soldiers to tell them of Prince’s support for our side, my uncle spoke, “Let him come in, keep his security aides out.” The order surprised them, but they obeyed all the same. Prince yanked himself free from the officer the moment he was brought in, and quickly came to meet me.
“My dad has heard of the prison break-out we did, and he is already on his way here with all of the Calisthenian Air Force, I literally had to fly at maximum speed to reach here before he crosses the borders of Sosthenes.”
And we were all shocked at his breaking news.
I immediately went in to bring out the NUFAME project for immediate disposal into space, while my uncle gave immediate orders to the soldiers to quickly inform the Sosthenian Air Force of a one last stand defense against the Calisthenian Army.
Immediately I brought it out, I told Mr. Parker, “Mr. Parker, I need your help in broadcasting a very important message to the people of Sosthenes through live transmission.”
“Give me a couple of minutes.” He responded.
And within few minutes, he was done with the setup, he let me have the controls, and this was my message, “War is not the solution to problems, it makes more problems instead. Peace is the real solution to our troubles, and the only source of true peace is Christ! I was part of a team that recreated the NUFAME project, (at this point I must have gotten everyone’s attention), and there is a plan to destroy it in space, I am putting my life on the line to save our world. Can we say bye to our animosity and a big yes to a world filled with peace? I will be ascending to the skies in a matter of five minutes. I want everyone to pray for my survival and the safety of our world.”
I immediately went out with the NUFAME project in hand and got into my specialized fighter jet. Meanwhile, the intelligence team of the president had gotten wind of my flight into space and told it to the president, so the Calisthenian Air Force stopped their advance at the borders of Calisthenes and Sosthenes.
As I began to fly out of the villa into the skies, the Sosthenian Air Force launched out with me, but they headed for the borders, while the citizens of Sosthenes trooped out of their homes with their hands in a posture of prayer as they watched me fly into the skies.
Mr. Parker could still communicate to me through a communication line that linked my war aircraft and the control room of Sosthenes together, and Prince took advantage of that communication line.
“My Princess, I want to assure you that Sosthenes will be safe until you return. My dad has informed me that he will not launch any offense until your jet arrives safely, so be calm, alright?” Prince said with great sincerity of heart.
I laughed a little at the first two words he said though.
“You telling me to be calm is not making me calm right now!” I said with a tint of excitement as I flew into space.
“Really…” Prince was saying, but Mr. Parker cut him off.
“Preserve all the oxygen you have got, I have detected your ship in space!” Mr. Parker said sternly, and I understood his words.
We were all held down in tension.
Immediately, I perceived I was way out of putting the planet Earth in danger of a nuclear explosion in space, I quickly detonated and disposed bomb in space and blasted off to planet Earth. And my chief mistake was looking back to see the explosion, I immediately had a flashback of how my dad died, and I lost consciousness. Meanwhile, my jet was on course to land in planet Earth, Mr. Parker did not know of my loss of consciousness until my aircraft entered into Earth’s atmosphere. When he tried to communicate with me, “Deborah! Try to activate the deployment carriage of your aircraft!” Mr. Parker said.
And he got no response.
“Deborah! Do you copy?!” He asked anxiously, and he got no response.
“Deborah! I said…” Then it dawned on him, that I was definitely either dead or weakened by a lack of oxygen.
“Deborah is in a coma!” He shouted to my uncle and Prince, and that was enough to throw the trio into a complete panic.
Mr. Parker quickly did his research and found out that I would crash into the Baltic Sea, at least that was a big relief for them, and I did crash land into the sea.
The rescue team sent to help me were heavily monitored by various media teams from across the globe. I was brought out alive, but I was still so weak and dizzy, probably nauseated. The president of Calisthenes knew when I was brought out of the water and pronounced as alive through his intelligence team, and the moment he got that news, he wired a message to my uncle — The president of Sosthenes, to get ready for an invasion. So much for his cruel mercies!
