know you believe in your sisters, God, and Mother Daughter. I also know that you took a huge leap of faith to believe in me, or I wouldn’t be here. Your faith is really strong. I need you to not only believe in me, but I need you to believe in us. Us as a team. We will only survive if we put our complete faith in each other. I’m already there, babe”
    Jess smiled through her tears and hugged Knight.
    “Yes, Evan Knight! Our faith will get us through anything! Even if we die today, we will do so as a team! Our mission is not determined on whether we live, but what we do before we die! Thank you, Evan Knight!”
    She released her embrace and left a shocked Knight standing there. Not exactly what was said, but whatever works.

 
    Chapter Thirteen
     
    To the complete amazement of Sulina and her crew, Myora IL Eve slowly stood up. She faced Sulina as she stretched, seemingly unaffected by the lack of oxygen.
    “Sulina. It’s about time you arrived.” She then saw Ellisia standing with her enemy. “That will be the last Daughter that you recruit.”
    Sulina laughed nervously.
    “Myora, my dear sister. You are at an extreme disadvantage here. You’re outnumbered 5 to 1. Fallen are already dead, so what can you ever hope to do to us?”
    “Are you simpleminded, Sulina?” Myora asked, in a tone unfamiliar to her sister. “We are in Eden and in spite of the fact that you think you are some sort of god, I have been given charge over protecting her.”
    “Her?” Sulina bellowed back. “You still talk about Eden as if it were a living, thinking being! Eden is mine, sis! In case you don’t know, there is a war going on in your precious garden! An army desecrates the hallowed ground as we speak!”
    Myora looked at Ellisia while Sulina yelled at her. Ellisia could not make eye contact with Myora.
    She walked up to her former Daughter.
    “Daughter that was and Daughter that could be again,” Myora said as she shed a tear. “We all were given a choice. Yours was taken through deceit. I give it back to you now. If you stay with Sulina you will die as she will. You will burn.”
    “Now just a minute, bitch!” Sulina interrupted.
    Myora ignored her sister.
    “Ellisia,I will give you the chance to die as a Daughter. Your wounds are grave, but I can restore you to who you were. Either way you die. At least as a Daughter, you will know peace.”
    Sulina jumped in between Myora and Ellisia. She pushed Ellisia back against the wall. Myora never took her eyes off of her Daughter.
    “Ellisia?”
    Ellisia stood with pride.
    “I am, and always will be, a Daughter of Eve. Take me home, Mother.”
    “No!” Sulina screamed as her hands tightened around Ellisia’s throat.
    Myora touched Ellisia’s shoulder and the decay and stench started to fade from the faithful Daughter. Her skin gained its normal complexion and her eyes returned to their natural color. In one moment, Ellisia was a Daughter again. Blood started to pour from her gunshots wounds as she dropped to her knees. Myora cried for her Daughter as Ellisia reached out one last time. She then reached up.
    “Father. It is your humble servant, Ellisia. I lift my spirit to you. Please strengthen my sisters and Mother Daughter. Thank you my Lord.”
    “You will sleep well, my child,” sobbed Myora. “There will be no more pain or suffering for you.”
    Ellisia smiled and fell lifeless to the floor. Myora knelt down and wept over her body. She placed her hands on her Daughter’s back and said a silent prayer.
    Sulina stood over her sister. She seethed with anger.
    “You mean to tell me that you could reverse the curse of the Fallen all this time?”
    Myora stood to face Sulina.
    “I can only do that to those who are worthy. Your heart is too dark. You are lost, sister. You will lose this battle as long as my feet are on Eden’s soil, I will not fall.”
    Sulina smiled.
    “Well then, it’s a good thing for us that your feet are on metal right now. Isn’t
