One more day...
It is just one day away before the battle. A short flight as promised over the preparations for the big battle on this side of the battlefield. We are now flying over Elena's end of the battlefield, where we have set up temporary haemostatic plug as a temporary defense mechanism. There have been encounters the whole week, the enemy is attacking harder and more frequent as the big battle drew nearer.
"All 5 drugs against TB ready and loaded, sir."
"We have problems with the defense against Parasites, sir."
"Anti-Asthmatic is faulty, sir. We can’t find spare parts for Xanthines."
"Proton pump inhibitors just collapsed on us, sir!"
Skirmishes at the border of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis revealed enemies far stronger than expected. Giant Cells can be seen massing behind enemies’ lines. There have been reports of Granulomas gathering for a pre-emptive strike and Anemias are pulling at their leashes. Intelligence has returned with news that Gastro-Intestinals and Parasites are growing larger in numbers and looming ever closer.
Below us now is the command center of this end of the battlefield, ready to take on all 30 Questions and 24 OSPE. But all is not well. With only 12 hours away before the first strike is to be called, things are not going as well as expected. We knew we would be facing against the best Generals for this coming battle, but this is unlike anything we’ve ever encountered before. We will need a sign to rally the people, to call them to arms and to bring them in line.
The time is near, so near it’s stirring the blood in our veins. My fellow comrades, the army we fight is a dangerous foe, with the men and the arms that we never can match. But even in the darkest hour, shineth a light of the coming dawn. Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise. We will not go down without a fight! We will not go creeping into the night! We will stand strong together, as comrades from a world of old. Damn the enemies’ warnings, damn the enemies’ lies. They will see the people rise.
Stand strong, my fellow comrades, for we are men called to arms to defend against the enemy. Stand strong, like the rock against the tides. We will conquer the enemy, we will run them to the grounds. For I have a dream. I dream of a world where no battles are fought, no enemies to be conquered, I dream of a world where all men can live with no fear of when the next battle will be or what it will bring. I dream, my fellow citizens, of a world of freedom from battles and a world with no more fear.
But the path we chose, this path we now stand on is lined on both sides with enemies prepared to tear us down, to obstruct our way. We made our choice that very day we gave up our lives for the better good of the people. The choice is made, my friends, there is no turning back, but to march steadily on down this path. Enemies rise against us like the waves, but we will be like the rock, forever standing against the torrents.
And the next huge wave is coming, it is right where we could see it. You ask why fight if the next enemy is just waiting to rise, but my fellow men, never say it is not worth it. Because it is. Even for a little while... we can sleep in ours beds without being afraid. We can be free from the enemies, even if it is for a little while. That kind of time is worth anything. Don’t say it isn’t worth it, my men, because it is.
This coming battle will decide which path you will take, will you continue on this path towards the great shining light at the distant, or will you fall. It is time, my comrades-in-arm, time for us all to decide who we are. Have you asked of yourselves what is the price you might pay for that freedom of peace and a chance to cling on to this beam?
I ask you again, my men in arms! Do the beating of your heart echo the beating of the drums? Will you join in our crusade? Will you be strong and stand with me? Beyond this barricade, is there a world you long to see? Will you give all you can give, so that our banner will advance? Some will fall, and some will live, will you come up and take your chance?
One more day before the storm, my men, just one more day at the barricades of freedom. When our ranks begin to form, will you take your place with me? Will you join your brothers here? Do you stay; and do you dare? One day to a new beginning, every man will be a king! Raise the flag of freedom high! There’s a new world to be won! Then, my fellow men, join the fight that will give you the right to be free! Your place is here. You will fight with us!
The blood of angry men,
The dark of ages will past,
A world is about to dawn,
The night will end at last!
Tomorrow is the judgment day. Tomorrow we’ll discover what our God in Heaven has in store. Tomorrow, we will FIGHT!!!
The people who started the war are the reason. And unless you fight to
get rid of the reason, nothing will ever change. I fight to get rid of
the reason.
