Standoff
White Wolf Chapter Seven Part Five

The Windigo stood in front of the portal gate to the world beyond; taunting the three as they approached. Foolish child! You cannot win! Give me what I seek; you and those with you may pass through the portal, to your world without hindrance from me or those that serve me! You cannot hope to win! I have something you want! Look beyond the veil into the world where you belong! Tell me are their lives worth the price of the Blue Diamond? They are all you really have left child! Would you throw away their lives for a stone? The Windigo glared at them as they came closer. He spoke once more to the child of the wolf. Is this not a fair trade? He asked.

The voice that replied to the hideous looking horned beast, half human half Serpent was not that of young White Wolf.

Remove yourself from here Windigo! You cannot have the child or the Blue Diamond! Shall I cast you down into the endless pit once more? Have not you and the others learned that you serve the wrong master? You and the others are nothing but mindless ponds in a game of chess! My brother uses you to attain that which he feels will tip the scales in his favor! Once he has done so, he will discard you and those that follow him! You cannot have the child or the Blue Diamond! Now stand aside or taste the wrath of Old Dragon!

So the old dragon now speaks for the child? You claim the child has free choice and free will! Yet you subdue him within you and do not allow him this privilege? Yes old one, I can feel him struggling inside you wanting out! So if he is a being given the gift of free will, then let him out and let him decide for himself that which he wants to do! The Windigo replied.

Old Dragon went silent and to the Windigo’s surprise the child spoke. You are a trickster spirit! I could never trust you! You tried to destroy me and my friend! The Dark Wolf banished you back into your realm of darkness! You cannot have the blue diamond; it is as one with me! I have absorbed it into me and now we are as one!

The Windigo stomped its huge hoofed feet upon the ground. Pounding his hairy chest, he screamed at the child! You foolish boy! Once you have been joined with the Blue Diamond you can no longer be separated from it! My master will not be happy! Leave Old Dragon! Join my Master and share equally in power!

The power is not mine to share! Now stand aside or be destroyed! The child replied.

Upon noticing an iridescent glow now coming from the boy, the Windigo moved aside and turned away. It could not look upon its source without being blinded. The power of the blue crystal drove fear deep into its evil heart and its light slowly surrounded it forcing it to its knees.

Stop! Stop! The Windigo screamed! Pass if you must but know that this has cost you dearly! You have caused the destruction of those you love! Look foolish one! My master has come to repay you personally! Will you plead for their lives? He growled and pointed in the direction of the clearing beyond the portal!

Young White Wolf could hear the voice of old dragon inside his mind! Child do not allow anger to control your gift! Focus and use it for good! Surround those you love with your energy and it will protect them! Concentrate boy! Remember you control a power like none other you will ever have! This power belongs to Creator! The one most high and he has entrusted it with you!

Looking in the Windigo’s direction, White Wolf raised his hand and said, be gone!

A bright bluish white light surrounded the beast and then it vanished. Turning to the others he said we must step through the portal into our own world. Lisa and Jentry followed him and the wolf pack through the portal and back into a world full of life and familiar sounds! Yes they were home but all was far from being over!

Upon seeing the three of them approaching his and the medicine woman direction, Billy Two feathers called out to the child of the wolf. No! Go away child! Listen to me and your mother! You can no longer help us by coming to us like this! Moab awaits you and he will destroy you! You are not strong enough to face his wrath! Leave us child! He pleaded!

The medicine woman spoke directly to her child’s mind! He is right child of the wolf! You cannot face this one alone! Take the others with you and flee beyond the portals of time! Moab cannot find you there! Leave us child! There’s no dishonor in running away and to live to fight yet another day! Do not fight this one on his terms! You cannot win! Please, go now child and know what we do is because of our love for you! Run like the wind! She pleaded, as she watched them approach!

White wolf raised his hand in the air and swirled it around in a circular motion! Clouds appeared in the sky above the two of them; lightening shot upwards from the earth completely surrounding his mother and Billy Two feathers in an impenetrable wall consisting of pure energy! Looking pass them he called out to the shadowy figure which now stood near the tree line watching him in silence.

You cannot have them Moab! If you destroy them then you’ll also destroy that which you want to possess the most! I have been given the power to destroy the blue Diamond! I may not be able to stand up against you alone, but would you truly risk your chances of owning the power within the Blue Diamond? Show yourself! Come into the light and hide no longer in the shadows behind your mindless pawns! If this is to end then let it be between you and I! Face me! I am but a child! What can a child do to one as powerful as you?

Moab spoke from within the shadows to the child. You are a brave young warrior but you are also nothing more than a foolish young boy! Destroying you will be easy! You dare challenge my right to hold that which was once mine? Where is your Creator? Where is Zurich the battle dragon of old? They do not stand with you now for you did not listen to them when they told you to flee! Destroying you will be easier than I first thought! Those you trusted have abandoned you!

Moab raised his hand from within the shadows; fire shot out from his fingers slamming young White Wolf in the chest! He sank to his knees as he raised both his hands in the air creating a shield to ward of the flames of hellfire sent his way!

That is but a taste of what I have for you foolish boy! Moab said. Then without warning he raised his other hand and sent a lightning bolt young White Wolf’s way!

Jentry leaped between the child and Moab’s lightning bolt; he used his own body, shielding him from what would have been a life ending blast! White Wolf held his limp body in his arms and watched the remainder of his life force vanish from deep within his eyes. He heard the sound of gunfire and watched as Lisa put herself between her brother and him!

Moab laughed from within the shadows; knowing that victory was close at hand! White Wolf watched as Lisa sank to the ground the life force slowly draining from her body! He watched the wolf pack lunge forward trying to protect him from one they could not hope to fight and win!

Mother and Father Wolf spoke to his mind! Child release Old dragon! Let him stand in your place! Only he can battle his brother and win! It is written in the Book of Knowledge! Remember all that has been taken from you this day can also be restored! Let Old Dragon Free! Do it now man child! They pleaded with him.

Creator spoke now to young White Wolf. Release my battle dragon young one! This battle is not yours to fight! Your heart is pure; you are my Creation! You have proven your worth to stand before me this day! Sleep now child and release the Battle Dragon! Trust in me and all will be restored child of the wolf!

When he next opened his eyes he looked around him to see Jentry, Lisa and the wolf pack were sitting beside him in a circle of light. They were unharmed and staring intently at him. Are we all dead? He asked. Is this what it means to be dead? Where are we?

We are safe! Lisa replied. Look beyond the shield of light that incases us! Watch the battle that is now unfolding beyond this realm! Battle Dragon fights for our lives and our souls! Moab fears Old Dragon and knows that he cannot be victorious over him! He counted on your stubborn streak, hoping you would not listen. Creator intervened though! Look! See over there! Our bodies lay upon the ground lifeless; yet we are still here very much alive although we are now pure energy as are you.

Jentry pointed above the colossal figures of Moab and Zurich, into the sky as he spoke. Look! The one you call Moab has called in reinforcements! Skinner and his army descend from above with helicopter gunships! This is madness!

White Wolf pointed in the opposite direction and asked. Who are they that arrive behind you from the opposite direction my friend? Jentry turned to see what the child was talking about! His face lit up and a smile appeared. Has not the playing field been leveled yet once more? White Wolf asked.

Give them hell boys! Kick their asses back from where they came! Jentry yelled!

They cannot hear or see you my friend! White Wolf replied.

The battle raged on between Old Dragon and Moab amid the thunderous sounds of rocket fire and the constant clattering of the chain guns which were mounted upon the gunships. Both sides fighting for supremacy; neither side was giving way to the other nor no ground would be gained by either side! A standoff was all to be had this day!

You cannot win this time Zurich! The one you protected is no longer alive! You have failed in your duties to protect him! Victory is mine! Moab screamed! Lunging forward he grab Old Dragon! Coiling his snake like body around him he began to crush him! This time it will be me that wins! Father most high will see he was wrong to underestimate my power and he will kneel before me and crown me King and most high! Maybe I’ll show you and father both mercy and let the two of you live only to serve me! Moab screamed as he squeezed old dragon in his coils!

Old Dragon’s eyes took on an eerie glow and he stared deep into the eyes of Moab! Fire shot from his open mouth hitting the horned serpent in the face! The fire was not what it appeared to be and transformed into a blast of white light! Its brightness was so intense that it forced Moab to release his death grip on Old Dragon!

Moab fell backwards onto the ground! Old Dragon grab his slithering body with one hand and slammed his huge foot down upon his head! You have lost yet again brother! Father and I kneel down to no one! Prepare to meet your end! Let us end this here and now! Old dragon replied!

Creator intervened yet once more! Stay your hand Old Dragon! Let Moab go! This is not the time or place for the final battle! He must be allowed to live so that all my creations will know that I am just and fair as well as merciful in all ways! Go to those waiting in the circle of light and return them to their bodies!

Moab stared up from the ground; he knew he could not win this fight! I will return and finish this yet another time dear brother! Then he faded into nothingness as he retreated back behind the realm of darkness in the shadows from where he first appeared!
