Summary

Genesis 6:4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men.Numbers 13:33And there we saw the giants ... And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.Deuteronomy 2:10-11The Emim and Zamzummim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; which also were accounted giants.~Two teenagers born 800 years apart, are brought together to lead the battle against the children of the ancient gods, the fearsome giants, The Anakim.~~~~~'Kali, Kali, Dilkadek,' whispered a dark wind down the sightless corridor. 'Kali Kali, Dilkadek' whispered the floorboards that threatened to creak beneath his stealthy feet.Sweat stood on his skin and the sword shook in his hand. He stole through the house of a god, and fear gripped him with its bony hand. The house of a god - the full horror of the axiom filled his mind. Revulsion celestial and in-human horrified him. His weak humanity trampled him in its conception as he moved through the house of darkness.All the ancestral fears and the fears that reached beyond ancestry and primordial race-memory crowded upon him; Manabozho, Manitou, the supreme deity of his people .... surely his god would protect him; he made the incantation for safety with his fingers.About him shimmered a glow so faint that it was scarcely discernible; he knew that he was approaching the tower, another moment and he groped his way through an arched door and stumbled upon bizarrely spaced steps. Up them hewent and, as he climbed, that blind fury which is mankind's last resistance against diabolism and all the unfriendly forces of the cosmos surged in him, and he forgot his fear......Burning with terrible exhilaration, he climbed up and up through the thick, evil darkness until he came into a chamber lit by an uncanny glow.
