Well, Matthew, Phil. Well, Matthew, my brother. It is not too often that we two meet here in the high-play straight view. We must win over the world, you are, and there is no rest for our dead of us, is there?

How goes the path-finding, brother? Dad, so sad and thankless task, this labor of yours. Well, I know. For many a time in the night, I've heard the lost ones cry, Ray Phil. Come and lead us. We have gone astray. And sometime I have answered their pleas in your behalf. And I've heard enough thanks to I get when I take their hands, saying, come with me. D'Aloh. Michael and the other brother, Michael with his flashing shield and great dreaming sword, he and the young one, they need never walk the waves of the world seeking as you and I do. Tell me, are you ever weary? There is no rest, is there? Well, and good speed, Rethio. Go about your way, Farang. I return for my return.

Tell me, Dr. Sam. I can't understand it, Margaret. I simply can't understand it at all. She's not getting better. I can't understand it. She's taking a medicine that you could go have Dr. Sam. Every day just as you said, I stand right there beside her bed and watch her think it. I know, I know Margaret. I can tell she's taking a medicine. Well, what are we going to do with her not to care? Margaret, the child simply must be kept quiet at all costs. She is being kept quiet. Look, Margaret. I know a little about mother's myself. I know how you feel. And Margaret, you've got to stay out of chaos whose room? I do stay out. Then who goes in the room? What did she tell you, Dr. Sam? Who goes in there? Dr. Sam, what did she tell you? As you mentioned it to you. Did she tell you about, by the window?

She did. It wasn't I, Dr. Sam. Was it an extraordinary dream, then, Margaret? It wasn't a dream, Sam. Well, Margaret? There was somebody there. I know that, but I was Margaret. Who? You don't know? I don't know. Thought you heard, Margaret? I don't know, Sam. Maybe. Well? Maybe it was. Still waiting, Gabriel? A long, long time, eternity, brother. A long, long time since the black darkness lay upon the face of the waters, and there was no light. I had a long, long time of waiting to witness to send again at the sound of the under Great Golden trumpet. How long since you have looked upon the fair green hills of the world, Gabriel? How long since your eyes have beheld the blue of the waters and felt the winds of the west by your cheek?

So many countless years, Gabriel? Yet it's fair and beautiful as first we saw it that day so very long ago. No day goes by, Gabriel, and I didn't know that. I was just a little bit worried. I saw it that day so very long ago. No day goes by, Gabriel, and I didn't know that I'd walk upon the earth, nor any night. Would you change places with me, Gabriel? And walk as I do among men? You would not. You would not have my task? Well, fortunate, Gabriel, for there's no choice. So I weary of the hills and the mountains and the long, sweet plains of earth I had my task. And my task I must perform. Michael with his sword, Michael a captain of the host. Rayfield will seek her out to walk the earth on a gentler test in mind, than you who wait the word as we've four waited it before the evening and the morning with the first day.

Wait, Gabriel. Eternity may not be so very long. Farewell, my brother, there is a vigil to keep. I will be waiting. I'll stay with her and watch Dr. Sam. Is she asleep? She's very quiet. I don't wake her mother. No. I'll watch. I'll stay awake and... Yes. Be very quiet. I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting. I'll be very quiet. Good night, Dr. Sam. Good night, Margaret. You'll call me. I'll call you. Carl Su. Carl Su. Carl Su, darling.

Carl Su. Dear. Mommy, I'll watch over you. I'm not asleep, Mommy. Oh. Did I wake you? No. I was awake, Mommy. Some Mommy gave you the medicine. No, Mommy. I don't sleep much. I was just lying here, waiting. Waiting? I thought she was here. But you wanted it. Who is it, dear? I don't know. Do you dream of this? Who knows, Mommy? Mommy will be very quiet there. So you can sleep. Oh, Mommy. So you sleep, dear. Mommy. Mommy.

Yes. Is it extra justice, Carl? How do you really need it? Do you hardly? Yes, Carl Sue. Charlie Bassen. What's your name? Great dark wing that casts a shadow when there is no light.

A little girl who lies in a great bed in a room by herself and dreams while she is awake. A patient little girl who has never known what it is to walk like out of a girl. Who is lying bed alone and always being pain. I allow you to say that I blame not to mind. Who has learned many, many things in a great white bed in a lonely room. I will blame you many, many things.

That's the girl's to die. That's right. I cannot tell you, Carl Sue. Don't you know? That's your purpose. I know. This is my goal, please. Do you know where I could have it? Is it like nothing in your mind? You cannot ask me, Carl Sue.

It is forbidden that I tell. I wish you can hear everything about Carl. I will save you. Be not afraid. I don't think I'm a stranger. But I decide for mommy. Mommy loves me. Yes. And I love mommy. Yes. Oh, I say. If you take my hand, Carl Sue. I say, if you take my hand, I'll die. What else can you say? Yes, Carl Sue. When you're telling the story before you cause my harm danger. It's been so long since I've been telling the story. There's a little time, Carl Sue. It's a little time, Carl Sue. Well, there are so many stories. And they all end the same way. Carl is afraid about other than friends we can have.

I remember a story. Carl. Carl. It is written that every living thing must one day face me. And having faced me come with me. God, see me. I miss you. Don't you ever. Don't you ever love somebody for honor, baby? No mortal man, Carl Sue. But so bright and bright. There was a time that it was long years ago. And it was in a place called Hechick. Now, in this place called Hechick, there was a great people held in captivity by the dreadful terrible of ancient. Did you go before? His time came at last that he came away with me. But in this time of the Chispeak,

when the people of Egypt held these others in abundance, so that they must labor under the quits and lashes of hopeless heroes. There was a great man who was appointed to lead his people out of that bondage. And all through his faith he worked many miracles against the Egyptians. Yet, at the wicked Pharaoh, never remembered his promises and still held the men in the wind. And the gods and the gods. All the people he held in captivity. And some day, he went to night. And well, I remember for it with this very time of the year. And in Egypt, the nights were hot, and the people suffered so. And the leader prayed. And behold, the word was in him. And he went to his people and spoke to them.

World to the Egyptian hosties and war one to them and their children. Look at the children. They were talking to me. Now came the long night. And the moon was darkened. And the heat lay upon the land and in the houses like a fell skirt. And in the night, I was good and good for it. And slayed the children of all the land, even the first born of the Egyptians. I was a little shocked in the ancient. But the houses of the people who were in bondage. In each of those houses, the people took a lamb and so it. And with the lamb's blood, they marked the lentils of their doors. Therefore, I, having the bidding, did descend upon the land of Egypt and I did take away all the first born of the Egyptians. But in the houses where the blood of the lamb was sent upon the vigils.

I entered not. And there first born my spirit. That they lived. You have forever lived. No mortal lives for ever my child. And that time I passed them over but when their time came, I laid my hand on their shoulders and said, Come with me to thy long home for he vanished. I'm for God too. There's almost time. Now. You have for your story of how I spared the lives of the children for a time. And in a good cause. Now would you take my hand? Take all the time. Yes. I thought it was going to be a hot story. And it's all about time. My stories all had the same handcow suit. Count. Take my hand.

I've waited that long, Mommy said. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Okay, tell us who. Mommy. Was I screaming? Yes, Mommy. Mommy, Papa. There's someone in this room. Tell us who. Yes, Mommy. There's someone. Who is it? Who is it? Where is he? I can't see it. It's so dark. No, Mommy. You're not looking for it. The shadow. On the floor. It's a shadow, Mommy. Tell. No. The shadow's waiting. There's no shadow, Mommy. Who are you? The name is Astriel. Astriel. Astriel. The black wing of the archangels. Astriel of the pale face. I am Astriel. I'm just Astriel. No, no. Where are you?

Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? I am here. You know what I'm saying? I will take you home. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? I am here. You cannot stop me. I am Astriel. I am Astriel. I am Astriel. It's not my child. Not my uncle. It's not my uncle. No, Mom. I've been stood in her bedside for the many nights and she has known I was here. The time of waiting is over. You are not going to leave me, you are not going to leave me. No, I'm not going to leave you. I'm not going to leave you. I'm not going to leave you. And the opposing is useless to calling me as done his best and he did not prevail over me. Oh, where are you? I'll take your stand, you. Not on the mortal. You fight me to know if I am willing. But I am always the winner. I am the unconscionable. I love you, my son. I love you too, you're my only will. I love you too, my son. And I love you too, my son. I love you too, my son. I love you, my son.

I love you too, my son. And while I am close to you, my son, I love you too. I necessary that you have taken my hand. So you're Goodbye's mother. I necessary that you have taken most of the one. You may not be. Take me! No! You take me as bad as I am. No. No, no. I'm not your sister. Yes, my sister. I'm always from mommy. I love her. I love her. I love my duty. I may not fall for you. I love you. Come, child. We must go. I realize that you've been... I dare not. How did you ever spare a child? I was just... To tell me about the security in the hospital, mother. To spare a child? Yes, yes, everything. You said that you were the best over. Spare my daughter. But they all lie, mother. I may find you. It is time. If your heart is so nervous, you can know how to skate your hand in your black wings. And your hand. I can tell me, woman. Where are you? I can tell you. What has ever escaped my hand. It's a human.

I may not let her stay. I never have I. Remember. Remember? Remember. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Why? I remember. Why, well I remember. A certain high hill. Shaped like to a man's skull. And a great clamorous crowd in the Roman soldiers casting dices for a cloak. look and three tall crosses high about the heads of the multitude. Two thieves and agony crying out from my hand in the shadow of my dark wings. And the boys saying, today they'll shall be with me in paradise. And so they came away with me and the other and his comments were a thousand full of what they had suffered. And I shall never in all eternity forget to look on his face so that I turned my face

away from his. And I, the angel of death, new kidding, eyes of very angel of death. And the lightning smashed in the very earth was red as thunder. And I could not. And I, the merciless messenger, I, asrael, I would lay the tip of my finger upon his shoulder. In three days, why? This is the day itself. This is the day he arose. Take by John the woman, keep her to cherish her and bend by me and bend killing your mind. lightning. Take your geographic knowledge. Hellacaibility.
