The Secret Battle

This section in Faith (Book 4 of the Waldmeer Series) came from a detailed dream.

Faith was in a type of battle. At one critical point, she decided that she must venture on alone. Knowing that her friends would be unwilling to return to safety without her, she told them they must take the children to safety and that she would return soon. She also told them she would use the magic golden armour she possessed. While wearing it, she could not be hurt. Reluctantly, her friends agreed and let her go on alone. 

When Faith arrived at the edge of the space where she would face the enemy, she felt the armour was terribly heavy and cumbersome. She didn’t want to wear it, but she would be completely vulnerable without it. A group of little birds arrived. They were very similar to the sweet ones that always accompanied Mullum-Mullum. They told her that wearing the magic protective armour would do more harm than good. 

“Take it off, take it off,” the little birds repeated. 

Faith was reluctant to take off the armour as she would be instantly killed by the ferocious enemy as soon as she entered the arena. Nevertheless, something about the little birds was so pure and trustworthy. Besides, they seemed to be speaking for an ancient voice. Irresistibly, the voice drew Faith deeper into its being, and she, for better or worse, took off the armour and stepped into the arena. She was afraid, yes. She thought she would be killed, but her trust in the little birds and their invisible Master was so great that she decided to do it anyway. 

As she walked into the sweltering heat of the arena, ready to face her fate, a strange thing happened. She did not burn under the fire of the enemy. Her body disintegrated, not because it was being destroyed, but because it no longer was there. Yet, Faith, as a being, was present and conscious in the arena. As she had no body, she could not be hurt or touched. The enemy passed through her and, perceiving no threat, went on its way.
