The Rebellion of The Angels, page 22
One at a time, as it allowed them to enter, the group left behind so many weeks of spending their life underground, to finally contact the living nature.
Youth tried to inhale fresh and pure air, but it was not purified enough by the perfumes that had came from the bodies of those angels with the skin of men and women, so that they drew their bow and arrow and they showed once more their developed smell sense. Youth said:
—The air is polluted…
Light looked up at the sky saying...
—A grey layer covers the region.
—We are inside the cloudy forests. This exit left us inside them —Eyes of Heaven guessed, drawing his bow and arrow like Youth did.
—However, even with polluted air, I perceive calm —Peace said, opening her hands to heaven—. As if the disturbed nature was returning to its vegetative state —She concluded.
—It is true, it seems that the polluted air was absorbed by a pure and crystalline energy —Hope said, without knowing that it was their energy which infected the vegetable kingdom, and if there were, also the animal kingdom.
—Still, I suggest neither lowering our guard nor putting your weapons away —Abed said.
—The best thing would be to continue going up to the Northeast —Love suggested.
Without hesitation the group continued walking in the direction suggested by Love, and after a few minutes of spreading leaves sometimes wide or otherwise not, but always wet, and when they got rid of a lot of trees, they saw the camp that the demons had left although the tents were still there.
Cautious for fear of being deceived by their enemies, they camouflaged themselves among the trees and tall ferns that grew isolated as archipelagos.
However, Youth looked at her guardian angel —those that had the shape of butterflies— which did not twinkle in red as a signal that there were demons, so she warned the group:
—There are no enemies here.
—But then, where is my daughter, Rahab? —Abed, the father of the kidnapped girl asked desperate.
—I do not know, but we will find it out —Youth said.
The group approached to the first tents, on which occasion Love was attracted to the forest floor, which invited him to bend over, and after doing so and resting one ear on it, he said surprised:
—There is a groan that spreads across the floor —And he ran from behind a tent to open camp followed by the rest, while Abed thought aloud:
—My daughter Rahab, what did they do to my daughter?
Desperate, Love threw himself to the ground and after resting once more the ear against the forest floor, he got up saying:
—It comes from that tent —And as a signal, he ran to whatever it was, entering shortly afterwards to it, which was the tent that the demon leaders occupied shortly before and that was still inhabited by the wounded wizard Suleiman.
Love looked everywhere without finding anything significant. However, he heard some cry of help, so he did not hesitate to verify what was behind the fallen table, finding the wounded wizard...
—¡Help help…! —Then he bent down to assist him, while the rest of the group entered the tent, moving the curtain at the entrance, so that the light could enter the place.
—¡Suleiman! —Abed was surprised after recognising the wizard who remained motionless on the floor—. But where is my daughter? —He cried desperately, and without consolation he rested in a chair, dropping a few tears from his eyes.
—I do not know if we can save him, but at least let's try it. Go for medicine. Somewhere in this forest there must be medicinal herbs —Love said, and Compassion along with Eyes of Heaven were looking for that herbs, which might cure the wizard Suleiman, who was stammering:
—They left... they escaped on the boats...
—What? ¡No, no, it cannot be! —Abed exclaimed, increasingly desperate.
Love looked at her celestial sisters as if asking them what to do, but none of them knew how to act. They only helped Suleiman to lie down in a more comfortable position, holding some rags in the wound in order to calm his bleeding. Then, Youth remembered once again that dream she had, in which she visited the Celestial Kingdom, her real home, and in private talk with God, her father, he said: "Once you have reached the cloud forests, look for the coast, in the ocean... in the sea... you will find the light...". Then, the young woman called Hope, Light and Peace, saying:
—You must accompany me to the coast. Several weeks ago, I had a very particular dream, in which God, our Father, told me that when I arrived here, I would go towards the coast, since in the sea I would find the light...
The female quartet did not wait for Eyes of Heaven and Compassion to arrive, and leaving Love in the care of the wizard Suleiman in the company of Abed, they left toward the nearby edges of the cloudy forests and the Ghost Port, from where all the enemy ships left.
Minutes later Love used her developed auditory sense once again, saying with some concern:
—Abed, go outside with caution. I feel continuous but very thin footsteps, although hurried.
Abed, even with the concern he felt for not having found his daughter, Rahab, and what was worse, for not having the slightest idea where they could have taken her, was lost outside the tent, which was suddenly disturbed by the continual noise of hoofs, which caught Love´s attention, who without hesitation looked at her guardian angel twinkling in light—blue indicating the presence of angels followers of God.
Love approached the entrance of the tent almost bumping into Eyes of Heaven and Compassion, who were already back, bringing different types of medicinal herbs.
—What happened? With who did they come? —Love asked, taking the medicinal herbs that were given to him by his companions.
—We found them on our way —A female voice said from outside, who soon showed up entering the tent as well. It was Offer, who was accompanied by her companion of adventures, Temperance, with whom she led the group of angels, followers of God with the skin of men and women, who came to that place from the central region of the northern continent.
—Thank God you are fine! —Love exclaimed, returning to where Suleiman was lying on the floor.
—And not only the two of us, but all of us —Temperance said, already aware, like her friend, that the enemies had left that camp.
Love squeezed the stem of one of the herbs and it dropped its healing substance on the wizard Suleiman's wound. He repeated this action with many others and later, he use the other kind of herb that would clean the wound, but he still knew that it would not save him ...
—I heard that they were leaving to the island of the Valleys of Fire. If you healed me I could locate them through the cards, but I do not know how you could move to that place, which I suspect should not be close. According to what they said, they left in boats —And looking at Abed, he said:—. Your daughter is alive, friend, your daughter is alive.
—It is fine friend, do not make more effort. Rest, you will recover —Love encouraged, but the wizard Suleiman did not hesitate to say something else:
—Satan, Satan will try to reincarnate in the belly of Rahab...
—How? —Abed interrupted desperately.
—With the relationship that Rahab would have with one of his follower leaders called Hate —Suleiman completed.
—Is that possible? —Temperance asked without getting an answer.
—No, it cannot be, not with my daughter... why with my daughter... — Abed said with no consolation, even though Compassion tried to cheer him up.
Meanwhile, Eyes of Heaven answered Abed:
—Because your daughter is the only living descendant of the first man and the first woman to inhabit this kingdom. Satan could only reincarnate in her, because her ancestors have a direct, almost blood, link with God, their creator.
—We must act fast, though I do not know how... —Offer thought.
—Do you think the herbs can cure him? —Eyes of Heaven asked Love.
—No, it will not cure him. It will only give him a few more hours of life perhaps, but it will not heal him —Love said.
—You must track the enemy —Eyes of Heaven continued in dialogue with Love.
—Let's give him some time to recover some energy, or he will die sooner than expected and he will be unable to help us —Love answered.
Then, even recognising that the possibilities of saving Suleiman's life were very remote, almost impossible, they sat to wait for his evolution, since he was the only one who could help them thanks to the spell he made with his cards for knowing the six demon leaders personally that could be track to find the secret base, about which they only knew that it was located on the island of Valleys of Fire, but without knowing or have a clear idea of the geographical position of the archipelago, or even if they knew that, they would not know how to get there. So for that height, everything was developed and thought based on miracles, while the possibility of rescuing Rahab was lost in the horizon of their minds.
The afternoon was growing. Youth, Hope, Light and Peace walked along the beach of the Ghost Port, which according to the twisted shape of the coast, and thanks to the power of nature, resembled the moon in its crescent. The visibility was scarce, fog banks covered the region, as they came from the depths of the sea, due to the strong currents and humidity with greater emphasis in the pier area.
The young women made an exploration of the beach and then they approached the pier built with rocks, which extended along the figure of the coast and did not go into the sea... without hesitation they got on to the platform, but even so it was impossible to distinguish the water. They could not discover the level of the sea and if they knew that there was a sea there, it was because they heard how the waves broke against the breakwaters.
Shortly after, as if they knew that it harmed the vision of the young women, the fog was dissipating, but just a little, as if it left them a few meters of visibility for feeling compassion for them
Then Peace said a comment as a complaint:
—They have not left a single ship. Not even a miserable raft.
—We are going to the pier, maybe at its ends we will find some —Hope thought.
The small group walked the pier from end to end without finding anything relevant, so they did not hesitate to return to the sector where they climbed, through a ramp.
They stopped then at the intersection of the footbridge of the pier with the ramp that started in the sand of the beach, but without knowing what to do: whether to return to the cloudy forests where their companions were —although now they were more for the arrival of Offer and Temperance with their group of angels followers of God, information unknown to the four of them— or to wait to see what phenomenon could happen at the sea, from where, as God assured Youth in her dream, she would find the light...
Then they looked at each other again, and by agreement they decided to go down that ramp that deposited them again on the beach, when suddenly, as if they also agreed, the guardian angels of Youth, Light and Peace abandoned their respective pockets of the girl´s jackets, and fluttering in front of them, —Hope was also with them but she did not have any guardian angel— they twinkled in transparent colour, which described the close presence of natural humans; in very intense white, colour that described the near presence of neutral angels with the skin of men and women; and a light—blue also very intense almost blue, describing the presence of angels followers of God with the skin of men and women. They indicated the young women to follow them as a signal and the guardian angels flew back to the footbridge of the pier.
The girls without hesitation followed them but looking at each other disoriented, so that Youth soon exclaimed:
—It is strange that the guardian angels twinkle in light—blue and so intense. They only do so in the near presence of angels, who are followers of God, and as far as I know, with the exception of the three of us —Youth said, referring to Light, Peace and herself, because Hope was neutral—. the rest is in the forest... —Youth remained thoughtful, saying afterwards:
—Temperance and Offer... Perhaps they and their whole group have found a boat —Since she did not know that the young women mentioned and their group had already arrived at the cloudy forests and were with Eyes of Heaven and company.
The four of them stopped on the footbridge facing the sea. Shortly afterwards, they discovered that, in the fog condensed in the air, the front of a certain boat whose appearance was that of a caravel, appeared, and it seemed that it would crash the young girls to anchor in the cloudy forests… but that one, even without approaching the shore of the pier, rotated parallel to the continental platform, while Youth lost her clear eyes in such a beautiful ship, exclaiming almost without being able to believe what she saw:
—¡For God's beards... where did they get that immense caravel!
—Do you think you think God has beard? —Light asked, frowning her warm face.
—Perhaps! —Youth said.
Soon after, the girls could distinguish the figure of a woman dressed in white who pointed her face towards them, but they still could not recognise her because of the effect of the fog.
The caravel went a little closer to the pier and suddenly, its sailors threw the moorings into the water and they anchored it at a distance that allowed them to deploy a small bridge that, starting from the ship, settled impacting the footbridge of the continental platform.
It was that woman in white who occupy in the first place the bridge that fell at the feet of the young women who waited on the footbridge, even without recognising who was hiding under the white rags by action of the curtain of fog that obstructed their vision. And as if it knew about it, the curtain of fog was dissipating as if the wind were blowing it or as if someone was beating it maybe. Then the group finally discovered who this woman dressed in white was...
—¡It cannot be! —Youth exclaimed, looking at her friends for not believing what she saw, or waiting for someone to tell her that she was dreaming
—¡Impossible! —Peace said, while the face of Youth changed from state of amazement to pure weeping.
—How could she return? —Hope asked loudly.
—¡It is a miracle! —Light added.
And Experience, that woman in white, who was not a woman but an angel with the skin of a woman, answered with a face of tenderness, even with some tears in her eyes.
—A miracle of God —and Youth, that did not stop crying although it was not known if she was crying of joy or what, ran desperate into the arms of her beloved companion, friend, sister, at times mother, Experience, and they hugged in a penetrating way, and Youth, who kept crying and looking into her eyes as if she still did not believe in what she saw, said leaning her head against Experience's chest:
—I would follow you to hell itself if necessary... and never again will I let anything happen to you.
—I would illuminate your path no matter how dark the destiny seems to be —Light said, hugging both of them.
—I would give you the inner peace you need to not despair in the middle of that dark path —Peace said, joining the group of hugs.
—Well, then, so many kindly united hearts could not get another result than success in their fight against evil —said Kindness.
Then it was Youth herself who gave continuity to the mission of all of them, and of the many who inhabited the caravel and the many others who waited in the cloudy forests for the wizard Suleiman to get better, although by the time that was almost impossible.
—That caravel is whose I think? —Youth asked, pointing to the ship and remembering who, in her opinion, was crazy about embarking on such an immense project of design and construction, which showed little hope of getting it going.
Experience affirmed smiling, while the man, its owner, the captain of the caravel approached saying:
—But I am not as rebellious as you are and I will let you go up and drive wherever you want...
Youth smiled, remembering later:
—For that we must wait for the only person who can take us to the hideout of the enemy to heal. He is a wizard who can track them through his cards and by knowing them personally.
—Where is that man and what happened to him? —Experience asked worried.
—He is in the forest where the demons used to camp. Apparently one of them hurt him badly —Light answered quickly.
Then Experience, remembering the day she died and her resurrection granted by God when she reached the Celestial Kingdom, where God himself would tell her that she would return to the Earth kingdom with one more gift, a gift that would be in her hands, although God did not tell her what phenomenon she could provoke with them, nor in what way to use it or for what exactly this gift was, she asked urgently:
—Take me with that man.
—Captain, continue commanding the crew —Kindness told the owner of the caravel, while she and her friends all, returned to the camp that the demons had and later abandoned in the heart of the cloudy forest.
They were on the trot and the sunset was close. The group of young people arrived at the centre of the cloudy forest, where shortly before approaching the camp the demons had and later abandoned, they discovered among the tents dozens of horses belonging to the group of horsemen led by Temperance and Offer; so without hesitation, Youth looked at her guardian angel reporting at the same time that she continued with her jog.
—There is no danger —Because the guardian angel did not indicate presence of demons but of angels, followers of God —according to its light—blue colour— that arrived shortly after Youth, Hope, Light and Peace left towards the Ghost port.
They passed by the horses and the many horsemen, and although they did not formally greet them, some smiled as a gesture of recognition, —because it was the life of the wizard Suleiman who was in dispute against time—, maybe for such reason, Experience did not even look around. She only put her eyes on Youth, who took her to the tent where the wizard was dying, followed both by the rest of the girls.
