 "BLASPHEMERS!"

"The ones that did this shall pay! By God they will pay!"

He was just a child but Abraham had a man's temper. He made his servants quiver with fear. They felt he had the fire of God within him. He spoke like a grown man.

Abraham looked up at the burnt corpse hanging on the silver cross. It was his brother Isaac, at least what was left of him. Rage grew within Abraham. He was filled with indignation. This was an offense to God himself. It could not go unpunished.

"Take him down. We'll give him a proper funeral."

The men scurried up to the cross and struggled to pull the knives out of the charred remains.

"The knife my Lord," said one servant after working it loose from the cross. "look at the symbols on it."

"The dark ones.", said another servant in a hushed voice.

"Who are the dark ones?", demanded Abraham.

"They are the children of Satan. They live underground. They use black magic. They worship the devil.", uttered a servant, his eyes wide with fear.

"Then the dark ones shall pay.", Abraham stared up at his men. He didn't like the look of fear in their eyes.

"But..", started one servant.

"There is only one thing in the world which you should fear and that is God himself.", Abraham pointed a finger at them as he spoke. "We will shall ready our troops and attack."

"The dark ones are strong, we are not.", began a servant.

"Then we will prepare. God will give us a sign when we are ready.", Abraham was finished talking. His men carried Isaac's body out to the cemetary without another word.
