57611 - The meteor passage

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

The battle had begun.
Shadows were coming from everywhere.
Every point of resistance
became a combat.
The monks and the nuns
did not back down.
No one behind, no one down.
The pressure was unbearable
and they did not know
what else to do.
So they looked
toward the sky
and there suddenly
they saw an invisible sword shining.
The Knight had activated
the meteor passage.
It had passed over the shadows
who wanted to climb up.
The glow was not unique
as it followed the notes
of an invisible pentagram.
After all, the monks and the nuns
knew that they needed
just a line, a chain.
