Saturday evening... The day is about to come...
"Honey..." said Robert. " Tomorrow is the day when the army of hell arrive...We will face the devil itself."
Catharina started to cry.
"We, men, will defend this village till our last drop of blood leaves our bodies...And you will have to do one thing. Follow me."
The couple leaves the room Robert takes Catharina in the basement of the castle. She has never been there before.
Suddenly Robert stops, takes a key out of his pocket and opens a dusty, old door that seemed not to be opened for decades.
"This is a secret door that nobody knows of. You will take the children and other women, leave this village and never come back."
"No!.. You don't have to do this... why cant we all just leave and let the demons burn this village? We will all survive... If you face the enemy with a few more villagers, you won't..."
She started to cry again:
"I can't live without you! I love you! And the baby needs you too!"
"Catharina..." says Robert, "there is one thing that i can not leave...Its called dignity!..I'd rather die than live, dishonoring my father, my grandfather, my family and God. "
They kiss...
The night passes quickly...
In the morning, Catharina tells the other women to take their children with them and go...And so they do.
Men are getting ready for the battle, despite knowing that the situation is helpless: Putting on their armor,
grinding their swords...
Catharina is crying...
Robert goes to her and says:
"Let me tell you one thing:
One day, we will all die. Life is a challenge...A big challenge where we have to try hard not to fail...And if we succeed, God will reward us. And if not..." He did not find it necessary to finish his words,
Catharina smiled. She understood her husband.
"Now, time for you to go!" Robert kisses his wife and baby. "Farewell", he says and they leave...
Catharina is already far from the village when she sees how the sky darkens...
The evil army comes from the hell itself...The sound of battle reaches Catharinas ears...
Robert and his friends fight, fight till the last drop pf blood leaves their bodies, as Robert had said before...
As they fight, they sing:
"As the sun set,
Day left us
All alone under
Blood red skies,
Fighting the devil
Under mans disguise,
Facing the demon
And its deadly strikes..."
