Preliminary drafts: Scenes not included in the drama

BENEDICTUS: How many more times will I have to enter this place, my soul filled with worry, unsure whether victory or defeat will be imposed on my will. It is my fate to fight for you, spirits of the world. You who incorporate the true mission of the earth into your path. As often as I crossed this threshold, I hoped that your victory would be decisive over those beings for whom earthly existence is worthless and who only interfere in the fate of earthly humans because they want to win them over for goals that lie in other worlds. Oh, how long will I still have to serve these powers myself? Only if my soul remains steadfast can my gods triumph over these enemies. The Father is already approaching; I can tell from his rays of power that he still feels undefeated.
