Wonderful chapter! Excellent descriptions of the battle!

I fell more in love with the character of Aile reading this chapter. I was moved by how important it was to give one of the coins she received to a person who was less fortunate than her.

I was enthralled by the section where she donned her armor and went into the battle! Once again - it was so cinematic that I was imagining the scene as if I were watching a movie. What an incredible sequence - so exciting! I didn't expect Aile to join the battle - but it makes perfect sense that she would. She is so brave and strong!

Here were some other parts I loved from this chapter -

"This could be Hell with the flames turned off."

I love this line and plan to use it in conversations during the summer months. I will credit the book MILES CHRISTI when quoting it!

Another fantastic new thing I have learned from reading a Tim Osner novel!

The Peridexion Tree.

This is my very first time encountering the mythical Peridexion Tree. I am so incredibly grateful to learn about it:

"Dragons are afraid of Peridexion trees. Doves like to nest in their branches. Dragons do not abide doves as they are servants of the Holy Ghost. They will try to eat them, but the shade of the Peridexion tree keep dragons at bay. The tree is sturdy like the Church."

“It will as we come closer to the center of the earth. Jerusalem is hot and dry in the center. Good and evil have battled there for a thousand years . . .”

Truer lines have never been written. It's just that each side that is battling believes itself to be "GOOD" and the other side to be "EVIL."
