The Dragon charged. King Gabriel closed His eyes, also summoning a power deep within.
Once the Dragon was within a few feet of Him, His eyes snapped open.
A bright, blinging white light engulfed the King. The Dragon was being held hostage to the Light.
The King's voice boomed through the mountains:
"How you are fallen, O Baphomet!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
For you have said in your heart:
'I will exalt my throne above the stars of the King;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.'
Now... be gone!"
King Gabriel unleashed all His power upon the Dragon and his followers. A loud crack filled the air.
When the light cleared, neither Baphomet nor his Knights of Darkness could be found.
Faith smiled brightly.
The War had been won!
