But, it can be interpreted many ways.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cApparently, a war, named Armageddon, will happen someday.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt will be the final war. Good against evil to the death.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe demons will be fighting heavenly angels, I expect.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMan will also take sides. The outcome is already set.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cEvil loses and good wins. Then comes the lake of fire.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAll will be burned till nothing is left. No more liars.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cLake of fire? What exactly does that mean?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt is unclear if it is literal or symbolic, it seems.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhatever it is, the demons fear it. Their nightmare dreams.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNo wonder they have all of us working so hard.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey must win, or become sizzling lard.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat would be a major motivation for them.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey have to come up with a plan to win.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI am not religious, but, I hope they lose big.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey consider us no better than a pig.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThere has to be a way to disrupt their plans.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIf possible, we will do it, if we can.\u201d<br \/>\nThe conversation drifted off to other subjects.<br \/>\nThen, \u2018The Shadow\u2019 asked Kronos a subject.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat was your father like when he was alive.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIn the golden years of magic, he did thrive.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe was probably the greatest warlock alive.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe had a huge following that called him king.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhy? Because he could do almost anything.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe met his demise in a foolish way.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAnathea, The Great Deceiver, had the final say.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy father had her captured, but she escaped.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe had been working on a spell to overtake.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut, going against her spear\/wand was a mistake.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe had made an error in his spell.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe spear overtook him &amp; sent him to hell.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cLater, I found the error he had made.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe couldn\u2019t fight white magic with only a blade.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI reworked the spell to make it reverse the spear.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cShe would destroy herself if she used the spear.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut, Anathea was gone. It was too late.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI wanted to use it against Anika, a justified fate.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2018But, she never used the wand\/spear?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIf she had, she wouldn\u2019t be here.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOr there, so to speak.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHer power would be reversed on her for her defeat.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy father trained me from the crib.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cTo take his place, which I obviously did.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOver 800 years, I ruled with an iron hand.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cUntil Anika, the new Deceiver, tipped my hand.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dThe rest is known history\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI reread the history after your death.\u201d \u2018The Shadow\u2019 said.<br \/>\n\u201cA plan has been coming into my head\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI think the demons gave you that book to set you up.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey wanted you to bring Asglow back, with luck.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey could have done it, but if you did, you\u2019d care.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThen you two would work better as a pair.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhy would they want that? Because of positive magic.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOnly Asglow knew how to handle both kinds of magic.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe demons cannot use positive or white magic.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIf they tried to, the results would be tragic.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOnly God knows the beginning from the end.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI am sure he has told the demons their tragic end.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey want to change that ending if they possibly can.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat is why such an elaborate plan.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou are only pawns in their master scheme.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cEven if it leads to the end of everything.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMaybe the lake of fire is the demons own doing.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe Bible does say that after, a new heaven &amp; earth are made.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMaybe because of the mess the demons have made.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSomething is slowly coming to mind right now.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cJust how we can make sure that\u2019s how it happens somehow.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI can\u2019t talk more about it just yet.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI have a lot more planning &amp; research to get.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhen I am ready I will fill you in.\u201d<br \/>\nUntil that happens I must leave till then.<br \/>\nBut, when ready, I will be back.<br \/>\nTo tell more chronicles.
