The Woman and the Dragon enter now into the zone of combat. Others stand aside, realizing that the stakes are total. The whole earth trembles, awaiting the outcome. Suddenly, the Woman stops and begins to beckon her children. They come slowly at first, fearful and timid, with the brave ones leading the way. Then, others are emboldened, trusting in the Woman’s powers and promises.
All stands still. No combat. The Dragon is furious. Why the delay? His troops are ready, but the Woman waits and does not try to move into the center of the war.
