The Final Storm by Wayne Thomas Batson Introduction 1

The Final storm by Wayne Thomas Batson is the third book in the Door Within Trilogy. The Door Within Trilogy is a christian series and relates a lot to the story of Jesus and the choices that we have, whether to believe or not to believe. The first book, The Door Within, starts off with a boy named Aidan having a dream. This dream shows him as a knight and he is facing another warrior who wields two swords. He ends up running away but gets caught and is then knocked out. In his dream he wakes up and there is another person (Paragor) in front of him. This person's eyes flash red as he gives Aidan a choice. This choice was to deny King Eliam who was Aidans leader and follow Paragor or to be executed. Aidan responds by saying, "I will never deny my king!" and he is then killed. This dream is very significant as it comes true in The Final Storm. Aidan then wakes up to find that he was dreaming. He is very sad because he has moved away from Maryland and has gone to Colorado. The reason why he moved was because his Grandpa named Grampin is very old and needs taking care of.

One day Aidan explores the basement and finds the Scrolls of Alleble. These scrolls tell the tale of how King Eliam a just leader chose a young warrior to be his sentinel. This meant that he was allowed to go through to the sacred library and read the scrolls that reside in there. This was an honor that only the King himself was allowed to have. There was only one scroll that Paragal couldn't read and this was the first scroll which had the past, present and future written in it and this was the scroll that the King wrote in. Paragal was strong and wise but the king was stronger and wiser and most people went to the King for advice instead of Paragal. Paragal then became jealous of the King and made a plot to kill him. He rounded up the few followers he had and captured the Elder Guard who were the King’s best knights and their families and put them in one of the seven fountains. He poured oil in the fountain and then sent for the king. With the flaming torch in his hand he tells the King to fight him and let the Elder Guard burn or to let Paragal kill him. The King chose to lay down his life but before he died he told Paragal that if he did this his name would be changed to Paragor which means darkness. Paragal killed him and sealed his fate. He then threw the torch into the oil and the Elder Guard Burned. Paragal then entered the Library and went to the first scroll. But instead of writing what he wanted he couldn’t control his hand and wrote, I will never be King. The King then came back from the dead and banished Paragor out of the Kingdom of Alleble. This then created an enemy that seeks to be king of Alleble. Paragor now gathers his power so that he can launch an assault on the Kingdon of Alleble.
