Suddenly an almost blindingly brilliant light shines through the archway from the harem balcony, as a tall, radiant, androgynous creature of unearthly beauty, with feathered wings like those of a Phoenix, blazing with golden glory, clad in bronze armor of incredibly elegant design, bearing a flaming greatsword in its articulately gauntleted hands!
The glorious creature smiles benignly at each of the Desert Jackals, nodding in almost fatherly recognition of the aasimar Northman Wulfgar, who recognizes this entity as his patron, the Archangel Raphael!
The angel sings in melodious baritone: Be not afraid, champions of Africa! I come in peace from the King of Kings, to bring thee tidings of imminent succor! The servants of the Great I Am send reinforcements, a band of crusaders noble and true, to join thee in the coming battle against the wicked Emir, who hath caused much slaughter and misery among the creatures of Our Lord! Your might shall be doubled, Desert Jackals! Reinforcements shall arrive as soon as I depart! Blessed art thou, brave heroes of Africa and fighters for freedom!
Saying this, the shining golden archangel turns away and launches like a flaming comet off the balcony and into the African sky!
