Well, that's not exactly what I said, but then I like the idea that Able
will return to America in "knight's service" to the Most High God. But that
is a whole extra level above Kleos, and Able must first succeed in his
mission there.

Incidentally, for reference sake, here is the instance in Able's dream in
Mythgarthr where he sees an ambulance taking him (to a hospital? a
morgue?).

"Beyond the black pavilion was a highway. Cars, trucks, SUVs, and minvans -- 
all sorts of vehicles -- were traveling on it, going so fast that it seemed
certain they would crash. There was a school bus, a red hook-and-ladder, a
black-and-white police car, and a white ambulance. Those stand out even now.
The ambulance rocked from side to side as it tore along with its light bar
blazing and its siren screaming. I climbed down and went to the highway. The
drivers would not stop for me, and I shouted at their cars, thinking how far
the ambulance was getting ahead of me. Able -- the real Able -- was in that
ambulance.  I knew that, and I wanted to help him."
-- "The Wizard" pg 459
