They clone the ancient

something else they can do.....lets say you are making a difference in this fight whether spirtually or physically, if they get ur blood one way or another they clone u and once grown torture the clone. since clone came from ur blood u have a connection. ur dreams could be the torture. ur random spirtual warfare could be the tortured clone etc....some lose their connection to God for ahwile. it comes back, for sure never as strong as before (their hope) or stronger then ever..
