The Tiny Lwanda 3

Chapter 17: Black

When we saw Over-watch die we knew we were in serious trouble and we all knew we could not overcome this foe.

As the darkness enveloped us once again and the light of Over-watch was no more, we all came to the realization that this is the time to call the Lamb to our aid, for this battle was beyond us.

I was the first to shout, what I am sure all of us wanted to shout, "Mighty Lamb, HELP!"

I remember a long time I heard, "Where the light is, darkness has to flee."

In the total darkness we saw an object of immense light coming down and he landed between us and Over-watch and the dark guy.

As soon as he landed, all the darkness disappeared and we could once again see everything clearly.

We were all overjoyed and were dancing and shouting. The dark guy in black, who after killing Over-watch looked triumphant and ready to swallow all of us, know looked at worst doubtful and not so sure.

We expected the Lamb who looked as if he had been slain to roar with the voice of a lion or thunder as he had done previously and all would be well once more but he looked at us with love and said, "This is not my battle yet."

We were all downcast by the blow of his words - we had thought he was here to fight our battles.

Then we saw another human looking creature descend - a creature of light who had four wings, a white cloth with a golden belt around his waist and a sword of fire. The creature also looked as if he was made of burning metal. It came and landed in front of the Lamb with a great thud. It then proceeded to kneel before the Lamb and bowed all the way to the ground.

"O Lamb who lives forever! I am here to do your bidding!" said the creature, then he stood up and faced the dark creature wearing black.

We all looked at the dark man wearing black for the first time, properly, in the light of the Lamb and we noticed that not only was it dark and wearing black but darkness seemed to be oozing from him and if it wasn't for the Lamb we would be in utter darkness.

The creature of light moved quickly and stood between the dark one and Over-watch's body and then the creature of light drew out its fiery sword.

The Lamb then walked slowly to where Over-watch lay and breathed on her and said, "Talitha koum! [which means, "Little girl, get up!]

We did not understand what he said for it was in a foreign tongue but to our utter amazement, Over-watch arose from the dead! Once again, and for the second time that day, our joy was beyond comprehension.

Uncle moved so fast and was kneeling at the side of Over-watch with tears flowing from his eyes. They were tears of great joy.

The dark creature with the black suit moved to strike the creature of light and was so fast, but every attack was parried with such speed by the creature of light.

The battle raged on at an incredible speed and it seemed none was having the upper hand.

After what seemed like half an hour of back and forth battling the speed slowed down and we could slightly see them and after another ten minutes we saw them clearly even though they continued to do battle.

After five more minutes, the Lamb moved closer to me and said, "My son, this is not my battle, finish it."

So I looked at the two creatures and noticed how tired they both were and they could not even move much. So, I took a club from one of our fighters and went nearer to the two creatures and stood still for a few minutes and when they came closer I clubbed the dark one on his head and he fell down.

I asked, "Is it dead?" The angel, though tired answered, "No, it cannot die yet and neither is it our purpose to kill it yet."

The Lamb, came closer and said, "Be gone." The unconscious creature disappeared.

The Lamb gathered us close to him and said, "There are still two battles ahead of you. I will not help you at all in one but the other - you must call for me and I will work out salvation for you."

With that the Lamb and the angel disappeared and we were left celebrating this victory and the resurrection of Over-watch and looking forward to the next two battles.
