Chapter 33. The Magnificent Eleven
As Daniel stands with his friends, watching the last shadows disappear, he knows that his journey has come full circle, carrying the light and strength of his heritage and the power of surrender to heal both his world and theirs. The Magnificent Eleven are looking up in the bright night, where the first star appears, the North Star or Polaris. Soon the other stars appear, one by one. Daniel is pointing out a bow of seven stars: The Pleiades. “These are our seven soul-sisters in heaven, who have been waiting to see their brothers for so long. Their brothers were facing outwards, standing in front of them, to protect them from whatever was coming. Now they can finally turn around, since there is no more danger out there. Now we are finally reunited with each other again, forever entwined in an invisible chain, never to be broken again!”
As Daniel stands with his friends, he feels the circle of their journey completing. Their heritage and the shared legacy of their ancestors, makes them all shining with renewed purpose, woven into the fabric of a world restored. The sky, vast and eternal, holds their light, a guide for all who look up, a reminder that peace is not a distant dream, but as real as the stars and moon shining every night, as real as the sun waking us up everyday.
With these new powers, their journey deepens, and they begin to understand the Magical Kingdom in ways they never could have imagined. The power of resilience through visualization, teaches them the importance of self-belief and the strength that comes from dreaming boldly. Leora learns that her visions have the power to change reality, That hope, when wielded like magic, can transform even the darkest circumstances into light.
Fizzy, as the embodiment of compassion and the kingdom’s silent protector, shows her the strength of quiet action, the wisdom of patience, and the power of empathy. His presence reassures her that she is not alone in her journey, that she is part of a larger web of protection, love, and guidance.
Now she understands that true guardianship is not about control, but about understanding and adapting. Together, these powers create a tapestry of energy that guides them toward their destiny.
Chapter 34. Combining Powers
The Test of Water
In the realm of Water, Raphael, the Archangel of Healing, encounters Leonardo and Thaddeus, each representing resilience and light. Raphael steps into a vast pool surrounded by mist, the water’s surface smooth and reflective. His presence radiates calm and healing, his energy flowing through the water like a gentle current. He believes that healing alone will bring peace to the waters, but Leonardo and Thaddeus are about to test his approach.
Leonardo, with his unbreakable resilience, enters the water with strength that stirs the surface, creating powerful ripples that spread outward. He shows Raphael that healing requires not only stillness but endurance, a force that can carry one through even the most turbulent waters. Thaddeus, embodying the speed and light of truth, moves swiftly across the water’s surface, his presence illuminating the depths below. He demonstrates the need for clarity and insight to bring full restoration.
Together, they challenge Raphael to expand his concept of healing, blending resilience and truth into his understanding. Through this test, Raphael learns that true healing must endure, must see clearly, and must adapt to the currents of life. The water glows as the three powers emerge, creating a healing force that can withstand any storm.
The Test of Air
In the realm of Air, Michael, the Archangel of Justice faces Daniel, Samuel, and Malachai—each one bringing a unique virtue that challenges his understanding of justice. Michael stands amidst swirling winds and powerful gusts, his sword gleaming with truth, representing his uncompromising sense of justice.
Daniel, the embodiment of unconditional love, steps forward, his presence soft, yet unyielding. His compassion tempers the wind, showing Michael that justice must also hold space for mercy and understanding. Samuel adds his power of transformation to the trial, embodying the energy of change. He creates a vortex, like in a whirlpool, illustrating that justice must adapt to serve a higher good, transforming as needed, to address new realities.
Finally, Malachai, with his wisdom and wit, brings a sharp clarity, cutting through illusions and showing that justice requires both insight and agility. His presence is like a burst of wind, quick and clever, adding an element of adaptability to Michael’s often rigid sense of duty. Through their combined influence, Michael learns that true justice is not only about upholding laws, but about understanding, evolving, and responding to the needs of each unique situation. The winds calm, and the air becomes clear, a harmony achieved through justice, tempered by love, transformation, and discernment.
The Test of Fire
Having passed through the realms of water and air, the test awaits Leora and Ithuriel in the element of fire, where they face the ultimate trial of unity, courage, and transcendence. A wall of fire rises before them, its flames dancing and shifting with an intensity that seems to defy passage. It is a barrier that no one can pass alone.
Ithuriel looks at Leora, a quiet strength in his gaze. “This is our test, Leora. To pass through the flames, we must carry the light of forgiveness and unity within us.” They take hold of the Shield of the Sun, the radiant symbol of their purpose, and step toward the fire together. Each step brings the flames closer, their heat radiating with fierce intensity, challenging both body and spirit.
In the heart of the flames, Leora feels her deepest fears and doubts rise, but Ithuriel’s presence beside her strengthens her resolve. She understands that they are not only carrying their own light, but the hope and strength of all of those they’ve fought alongside. The flames shift, reflecting the purity of their mission—Ithuriel and Leora gain the resilience of water, the adaptability of air, and the courage of fire. Together, they reach the other side of the flames, transformed. Their inner light, now unified and strengthened, shines outward, illuminating the path ahead.
They emerge from the fire as true guardians, ready to protect the Magical Kingdom and all it stands for. Ithuriel’s strength of forgiveness, brings them the return of peace of unity and consciousness, not only for them and their circle of friends, but for everybody and everyone on earth.
Test of the Earth
Leora emerges from her struggle with a deeper understanding and purpose, of herself and her circle of friends. Her time with the Five Arch Angels, Ithuriel, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Daniel had given her insights to strengthen her spirit and helped her connect with her own inner peace. She now understands that her journey is not only for herself but for the whole city, where all of the magic had gone, for all of those who needed hope, healing, and peace.
The kingdom, though distant and ashen, was still calling to her. This time, she refuses to return as a wandering soul, but with the help of her friends, they can form a force of light and healing. Daniel had instilled in her a love so unconditional that it has transformed her spirit. They all felt ready to restore the kingdom, and returning there is a journey in itself, both physical and spiritual. The land is shrouded in mist, as though guarding its secrets until they are truly ready to receive them. Each step brings memories of ancient rites, whispers of wisdom, and echoes of those who walked these lands before.
Shadows linger, remnants of darkness and destruction, a haunting reminder of what has been lost. They know that their journey is not about reclaiming a throne, not even to restore a land. It is to create a sanctuary of peace for themself, to restore the secret garden, the House of Healing, a place where lost souls can find the powers of forgiveness, truth, compassion, and love. Exploring their inner fortitude, Leora and her friends are learning that resilience is their most potent and powerful power.
Gathering together, they prepare for the ultimate test—the Battle of the Powers. This is not merely a clash of physical strength, but a test of virtues, where each of them must prove the strength of their unique power, facing the forces of the archangels.
Leora and Ithuriel stand in the realm of earth and spirit, facing their final test. Their bond, forged through fire, water, and light, will be tested not by an external foe, but by their own connection and purpose. They must walk across the land, feeling the pull of the earth beneath them, the gravity that binds them to their mission.
Together, they carry the Copper Shield of the Sun, the emblem of their united power, and with each step, they feel the copper energy running through their veins, rooting them in resilience, grounding them to the earth with gravity, as if this copper energy was giving them gravity to their feet, as if they were walking on the moon! Leora and Ithuriel feel a transformation within—their connection with each other and their element of fire, has strengthened them all and solidified their mission. Together they step forward, ready to carry this peace back to the kingdom and beyond, their hearts bound to the earth, their spirits aligned with the heavens.
Chapter 35. Battle of the Forces
First Challenge: In the realm of Water, Raphael, the Archangel of Healing, faces Bubba and Aida, who represent joy and love. Raphael’s healing energy fills the water, a soothing presence that mends and restores. Yet, Bubba and Aida bring their own unique powers: Bubba, with his laughter and spirit, stirs the water, infusing it with joy that ripples outward, creating waves of renewal, while Aida brings the gentleness of love, a force that heals the heart as much as the body. Their combined presence challenges Raphael, teaching him that healing is not only about mending but also about creating joy and love. In this test, Raphael must acknowledge the completeness of healing that goes beyond the physical—a unity of laughter, love, and restoration and that the healing of the soul goes before the healing of the body: Raphael wins the power of love and joy: the reward for the House of Healing is the return of the ‘stolen peace of soul’.
Second Challenge: The next trial unfolds in the element of Air, where Gabriel, the Archangel of Communication, encounters Thaddeus and Malachai. Gabriel’s presence is like a gentle breeze, his voice resonating with clarity and understanding. Thaddeus, embodying light and speed, brings the quickness of thought, while Malachai adds the wit and cleverness that can cut through even the most confusing circumstances. Gabriel must learn to integrate this sharpness and clarity with his own gentle wisdom, understanding that communication requires both insight and strength, understanding that communication comes from both sides, understanding that if one speaks, the other needs to listen. In this challenge, Gabriel discovers the value of perception, and the value of listening. Listening gives you an ability to adapt in the face of challenges, gaining a broader vision of how communication can bridge worlds. Thaddeus brings the power of music, while Malachai offers Gabriel the ‘talking stick’. It was just a piece of wood, a fallen branch from a tree. Whoever holds the talking stick can talk for as long as he or she likes, while the others should listen. It’s like whoever holds the microphone is allowed to speak. While listening, Gabriel learned there was more to listen to than just words. While he was listening to the words of Malachai, who held the talking stick, he suddenly noticed the music Thaddeus was playing on his laptop. Gabriel turned his eyes and looked around. He suddenly heard a bird yelping and therefore he wins the power of listening, perception and observing and understanding: the reward for all of them is the return of ‘the stolen peace of mind’.
Third Challenge: Fire
In the realm of fire, Michael, the Archangel of Justice, meets Fizzy, the Sentinel of Compassion, and Sam, Starchild of Translation and Transformation. Michael’s etheric sword is the spoken word, a symbol of truth and righteousness, yet he is met by FIzzy’s steady, compassionate presence and Sam’s transformative energy. They challenge him to see that justice, to be true, must also include mercy and adaptability. When he is able to gain these powers, he will gain the power of Freedom and Liberty.
The flames swirl around them, and Michael learns that justice is not a rigid force; it must be tempered with compassion and a willingness to change. In this test, he learns that true justice can both hold the line and forgive, transforming situations instead of simply enforcing. Through Izzy and Sam, Michael discovers and wins the strength of soft power and the flexibility needed to foster real change: the reward of this battle is the return of ‘the stolen peace of the heart’.
Chapter 37. The Worldwide Watchtowers of the World
Fire raging uncontrollably where it has been disrespected. Water rising to claim what has been stolen. The earth swallows those who harm it. The air itself turns toxic when greed defiles it. The ancient natural law is clear: those who harm the elements shall be judged by them.
They knew their vision was endangered by others, who couldn’t see nor understand their way of looking at life, others who were on a mission, without any other vision than to gain more money, more fame, more gold or more stardust. For the psychiatrists and other worldly leaders like scientists and politicians, it seemed to be a matter of controlling the elements, placing themselves above all the animals and people they find lower in rank. By trying to control the elements, trying to force nature and life itself, they seemed to have forgotten that nature follows her own course, as if the sea or the sun or the whole earth, could ever be something some human beings could control. Little did they know that each person’s worth, every animal and plant was way much more than just numbers adding up, way much more than they could ever imagine.
Their circle of friends was thinking in terms of Stewardship, without having fear of losing control, nor having to fear for their own safety, because they could all take care of themselves, living in perfect harmony. In the Magical Kingdom they could be like a child, happily playing around in the open field, while still being responsible and healthy living grown-ups. In their fantasy world everybody knew each other’s name, greeting each other when they passed another friend, doing what they loved the most, They loved to play with the elements, making sandcastles, picking flowers or forest fruit, collecting little stones or sitting besides the creek to get some fish, they grilled at the bonfire. At night they talked for hours, dancing and singing until they all fell asleep underneath the stars.
Stewardship comes in a natural way, with natural born leaders and spiritual leaders, protecting and guiding their family or tribe. They see Stewardship in modern days as a path of redemption. By respecting the elements, they give freely, in abundance.
“Honor them, and they sustain, that is our duty,” Daniel says, his voice resolute. “Not just to bring water to Africa and to get bananas and peanuts in return, but to remind everyone—everywhere—that we all share this earth. That the elements are sacred, and they sustain us all.”
Leora smiles, her eyes bright with purpose: “We should make the first gesture. The North could offer free and fresh water to the South. As a gift, not a trade. For peace, for life.”
As the invisible pipelines are completed, the flow of water becomes a symbol of unity, connecting the North to the South, the West to the East. Freely giving the overabundance of one to the scarcity of another. It is a testament to what humanity can achieve when guided by respect, compassion, and a sense of shared responsibility.
The first drops of water trickle into the parched earth, and with them comes the promise of a future where fire, earth, air, ether and water are not commodities, but sacred gifts shared by all.
Chapter 36. Visions of Hope : A Rainbow of Magic
Since they were all visionaries, when gathering together, they could now share and combine their visions, dreams and magic to create a world full of wonders, if only in their minds. With the natural balance restored of Water they could restore the Magical World. Thaddeus connects them into the modern world of advanced technology, where people like them, isolated from society and locked away from the dangerous outer world, were hospitalized, barely being able to get away from their room, let alone to cross the invisible borders of the grounds of the Asylum. Even then, they were sedated by medicine, besides having to cope with mental problems such as in having a war in their heads, emotional problems like broken hearts, grief, fear and anger and physical problems, mostly caused by experimental, highly dosed drugs. This made it almost impossible to behave normally, finding no connection what so-ever with their family and friends, let alone to go any further than the supermarket, before returning to their safe haven.
Thaddeus told them about the ‘world wide web, or the internet, being like a world wide spiderweb, with interconnected threads of silver linings. Leora envisioned this invisible web hanging on ‘the ceiling’ or firmament, meant for protection. All around the world these threads were interconnected by towers, rooftops, churches even by the top of the trees.
