Book 8

" I have to return home, " said Uriah, as he and Dindrane were sitting on the beach of Grail Island.

" How are you getting home? Like I said; I don't have a ship or a boat, " said Dindrane.

Uriah now placed his head on his knees, as he now had the 'big sad'.

" Maybe your guardian Angel can help you? " said Dindrane with a compassionate smile.

" He. Is. USELESS! " yelled Uriah.

" I beg your pardon!! " yelled 'Iax; " Do you want me to recount the many times I had to save your sorry behind? " said the Angel, sounding a bit hurt.

" You are an Angel, snap your fingers and teleport me home! " yelled Uriah.

'Iax paused for a moment.

" I could do that… " he said.

Uriah now had hope in his eyes.

" Buuuuuut. Like I said; you have to go on the journey, that is when I can help you " said the Angel with a smirk.

" Then… HELP ME! " yelled Uriah, as he jumped.

" I am(you ungrateful human) I have ask Rahab for help "

Uriah paused for a moment.

" The harlot? " he said, sounding confused.

" No. Rahab; The Demonic Angel of the Sea "

" The Demonic Angel of the Sea? " said Uriah in disbelief; " Why would you bring a demonic angel of the sea?! " exclaimed Uriah.

" Rahab is actually quite friendly. He has visited this island many times " said Dindrane, who has been listening in on the conversation.

Uriah just looked at her, he then looked at 'Iax, and he then remembered his wife and son.

" Call him "

And just as Uriah had uttered those words, from the abyssal sea, came out Rahab; who looked a lot like Tiamat and Leviathan.

The Demonic Angel of the Sea glared down on Uriah, who was doing his best not to show fear, despite the fact that he was sweating a lot.

Rahab now lowered his head, and Uriah now got on the enormous sea-serpent.

" Where to? " asked Rahab in a kind tone, which surprised Uriah.

Uriah then finally said;

" Take me home, to Socotra "

" Not so fast tiger. Rahab can not take you home " said 'Iax.

" I beg your pardon? " said Uriah; " He is the frickin Demonic Angel of the Sea. Taking me home would be a cake walk! "

" True. But, remember what I always say " said 'Iax with a smirk.

" 'Iax, let me make this very clear, I am a desperate man, to the point where I am considering doing like Icarus, but with a twist, I will be using YOUR wings to get home "

Uriah's words sendt a cold chill down 'Iax's spine.

" You would not dear " said 'Iax.

" Test me " said Uriah, as he was a very desperate man.

'Iax froze for a moment.

" I see that I must get to the point… " said he.

" See to it that you do, " said Uriah with a smile.

" Rahab can not take you home to Socotra, because, you have to get there yourself "

" How? "

" I have a plan "

" It better be a good one "

" Where did this sassy attitude come from? "

" 'Iax, I have not seen my wife or son in about ten years, so excuse me if I am a bit pissy or sassy "

Both Rahab and Dindrane have just been smiling throughout this whole conversation.

" (Ahem) You must go to Sable Island, where you will meet with the Witch of Endor " said 'Iax.

" Why? " said Uriah, confused.

" The witch will bring back a fallen warrior of Iram, you must ask the warrior on how to get to Iram "

" 'Iax, I am trying to get to Socotra, not Iram! "

" I know that! And that is what I am trying to help you with! You must get to Iram, so you can ask Solomon for his ship "

Uriah now understood 'Iax's plan.

" Solomon's ship… the ship that goes where the person desires " said Dindrane with a smile.

Uriah now whispered something to Rahab.

Rahab now raised his head close to 'Iax, where Uriah now gave 'Iax a kiss on the cheek.

Afterwards, when Uriah finally reached Sable Island. He met the Witch of Endor, who was happy to help out. But before Uriah asked the fallen warrior, he took a moment to talk with his fallen crew, and Uriah cried happy tears when he found out that they were all doing well in heaven.

The fallen warrior had now told Uriah where he could find the City of Pillars, and with the help of Rahab and 'Iax, Uriah would get to Solomon.
