By Golda John – Two Knights is a story of two lost and lonely souls that meet after thousands of years of disconnection. Lucifer invites Archangel Michael to a game of chess then rapidly, the innocent meeting brings to surface unhealed wounds.
The chess game becomes a psychological battle of warfare, unveiling God’s place within the universe; the man who abandoned humankind and let discrimination, hate & fear meander the crevices of our fragile earth. The argument escalates, fully disclosing a taboo no one would predict; the romantic love they share within the eyes of the Lord.
What is Good and Evil? Can one sacrifice his life for personal need, or can one find happiness against God’s will? Through the gaze of God’s trusting soldier and enemy the story examines Good and Evil.
