The Excerpts
One of my readers thought this would be a good excerpt for my first novel, Maradonia and the Seven Bridges:
Situation: Maya and Joey (the two main characters) are on one of the seven bridges of tests and temptations! Their camp of 300 men are surrounded by 10,000 warriors from the powers of darkness.
Maya and Joey are given a choice… a very hard choice…. to fight the army of 10,000 OR to lay your lives down for your friends. as you read in the following…
It was a difficult situation but the men in the camp stood closely together as one strong force and were ready to fight for their freedom and for their commanders Joey, Maya and Captain Goran.
“It is wonderful to see when the people in this camp believe in their leaders and commanders but it is more wonderful when the leaders believe in their people,” said Joey and continued, “maybe the time will come or has already come that we as leaders of this camp will pay a price to carry out our calling!”
“Bravo, Bravo, Bravissimo…” interrupted Gertrude, “most people think that we are the bad ones but basically we bring peace to the world. My two friends and I have agreed to make you an offer which you cannot reject.”
“And what is this diabolical offer?” asked Maya standing between Joey and General Goran.
“This is not a diabolic offer. It is an honest offer because we are ready, willing, able and we have also agreed that we will let your men go free.
They are all free to go home and they can take all their belongings and possessions with them and go back to their families.”
~ 229 ~
“You will let them go home?” Goran asked.
“Yes, they can go home… all of them. They do not have to fight our army of over ten thousand men which has your camp surrounded.”
The army of ten thousand also cheered when they heard that they had not to fight.
“Under one condition, of course, will we let them go free…
The condition is that Maya and Joey give their lives freely as human sacrifices in honor of our lord Abbadon the son of the great Apollyon.”
