"Send for father, have the guards sound the trumpet, we need to have an urgent meeting."
The favorite Son said, looking worried. In a Few minutes, the Palace was filled with the Divine bloods hovering around the large planning table wondering why they have been summoned. The favorite son who have been standing next to his father's throne watching the family assemble finally spoke.
"I am sorry for bothering you all with this emergency gathering. There have been a development in the last couple hours."
"Son what bothers you?"
"Father in the last two hours, no soul has crossed into the Silver city."
"How is that even possible?"
"Dad I have no idea, this is why I summoned everyone to know if something went wrong somewhere."
His father, The King Of Kings paused for a while and gave a deep breath. Looking up at the gathering he spoke.
"Royal divinities, I believe you all heard my son's complaints. I need to know why we haven't had any souls over to our side for two hours. What is going on down there?"
There was a brief silence, followed by murmuring and side talks. Gabriel one of the sons finally spoke up.
"Father, I think our brother Samuel is up to some mischief oncemore. Rumors were making the rounds that he was planning to send thousands of his demons to infiltrate the heart of the humans."
"Was planning to? Well send out warnings to the humans that they should beware of this."
"Your Majesty, it might be too late for that. I fear Samuel has unleashed his demons." One of the elders said.
"Then send out prophets to earth this instant. Let them cleanse the heart of the people and turn them to the right path "
"Unfortunately Sir, that wouldn't work either. Recently, the prophets we send down there are brutalized and slaughtered like animals." Another Elder replied.
"Something needs to be done about this."
"Father," the favorite son spoke up. "Perhaps they have gotten used to these prophets, they have no respect for them anymore."
"Father, I'll suggest that a Divine personality be sent to earth. Humans love what they cannot understand, If we display our glory on earth they would follow us immediately." Gabriel added.
"I'm not comfortable with sending any of you down there."
"My Lord! appoint any one you wish. Your wish is our command."
"I can't get myself to appoint any of you. Let it be voluntarily. Who will volunteer to go down to earth and do whatever it takes to get the humans back to their senses."
There was a great silent in the palace for a while. Then the favorite son finally spoke kneeling before his father's throne.
"Father, send me."
"C'mon son, don't be silly. I'm sure there's someone else willing to go."
"The person would have spoken up. I am not totally in support with Gabriel's plan of revealing our divinity to the humans, but I have a plan that should work."
It was decided and the favorite son was sent forth. Several hours passed with no word from the favorite son. The queen mother got bothered and went to the kings chambers to speak with him.
"My Lord are you not bothered that we haven't heard from our son for some hours now."
"Woman, you have nothing to worry about,I speak with him every minute. Besides he has just been gone for some hours."
"My Lord some hours here is equivalent to so many years down there."
Just then, Gabriel walked into the chambers looking quite worried.
"Father, are you still in support of my brothers plans? look what he is putting himself through."
"I am fully aware of his plans and I am in support of it." The King replied.
"What plans? What is my son putting himself through? Gabriel show me my son right now." The Queen said holding Gabriel's hands.
"I need father's permission to do that."
"Woman stay out of this. You know females are not allowed to meddle in earthly matters." The King said.
"Not when it involves my son. I want to see my son!" The queen screamed.
The King gave Gabriel an affirmative nod, who in turn revealed a vision to the queen. In this vision, The favorite son was seen being whipped mercilessly and bleeding profusely. The queen couldn't stand the sight.
"How can you be ok with this? Send your army down there and save my son!" She said with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"He doesn't need saving, this was his plan all along."
"I can't believe this." The queen said as she walked out of the Chambers.
Some hours later, The King summoned Gabriel to the Palace.
"Gabriel, why is my son not back yet, he said it was finished few minutes ago. He should be here by now "
"Father, he whispered to me that he would be going to battle with Samuel and his demons"
"All alone? that wasn't part of the plan. Take every available soldier and go down there and assist him right now."
Gabriel was about to leave when an elder walked into the palace and screamed.
"Your highness, THEY ARE HERE!"
"Who is here?" The king asked
"Your favorite son and the souls he rescued."
Send in my son immediately. The entire Royal household was happy to have the favorite son back and victorious In his conquest. There was hours of celebration with dancing and jubilation. Such victory has never been recorded in a very long time.
