When the Council of Gods met,
To discuss the Bal'met threat,
"To arms, to arms!" Was the call,
So Many giving Their all.

A Few counselled "Not yet",
When the Council of Gods met.
We know not enough,
For Our best rebuff.

Daedalus called for Hermes return,
A month we all waited with concern,
When the Council of Gods met,
Hermes was not back yet.

So a force was led through the rift,
Rival and Allied Gods, all swift,
But They played an unknown roulette,
When the Council of Gods met.
