Circumstances have arisen, godlings. I need you up to the challenge.

Shadows have moved and struck in the dark. We were unable to catch them before it was too late. The ones responsible are known as the Sluagh. This was not our doing, and we will exact our punishments, of that you can be certain.

The realm beyond the Veil is not one we touch, however. The Courtly Queens must lead this chase. You do not need me to tell how vitally important is that we get them all back. Do not lose yourselves in the process.

Hello, godlings. Did you enjoy your various revelries? Have fun squandering your time for a moment's pleasure?

Because squander you have. You have been granted gifts. Shown your places of power. Even been restored to your former glories for one day. And yet, none of you have worked to claim them. To say I am disappointed in you is an understatement.

My generosity is at an end, godlings. Clearly, you need a different incentive to get things done. Very well.

As soon as the sun rises on the morning of Equinox, you will learn to do without. Not forever, of course. That is, as long as you're willing to do what is necessary. I'm not asking much. Just that you all go home and walk through the front doors.

Twenty Five

[The day had begun normally enough, although it was a very busy day being on the heels of New York Fashion Week and the Milan Fashion Week about to begin. Packages were arriving regularly, and no one noticed one extra one... until it exploded, taking out the front security desk. Moments later, a half-dozen gunmen entered and began opening fire. Aphrodite herself was able to escape unharmed, but 10 of her employees died and another two dozen injured...]

The person who would dare do this to my business, my people... It has gone too far.

[News Report from Thursday, September 12]

"...no suspects yet in the attack on the University of Wyoming campus. The target appears to have been the astronomy and physics department. School officials state that it was most definitely not a lab accident, but have no further information on what happened. The office of one graduate student was entirely destroyed, but, fortunately, no injuries were reported..."

Well, that wasn't very nice.

Someone has blown up my car.

[It had started like a normal day. Then, oddly, he had gotten a letter at his work office. Not that he never got mail, but this one seemed... different than the usual test results and paperwork ping pong. Opening it, he found the letter was coated with a curious white powder. A few hours later, illness set in, and the doctor became a patient...]

...Watch your mail. I think mine was just poisoned. I'm staying at the hospital until further notice. Good thing this isn't my weekend to have the girls...

[PIPE BOMBS EXPLODE AT LOCAL FLASH MOB]

"...seven people have been injured, one critically, in downtown Seattle today, as an impromptu zombie-themed flash mob at Carl Anderson Park was rocked by the explosions of at least three pipe bombs. Eyewitnesses report that the gathering had been under way for only a few minutes when a group of three men, disguised in bloody face masks and camouflage clothing, threw the bombs into the crowd, where they exploded. The suspects then fled on foot in the direction of Howell Street. The man closest to the explosions has been identified as Chase Woods, 29, a possibly-homeless man known to frequent the area. Woods was transported to Harbor View Medical Center where he remains in critical condition; six others sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene. Police are continuing their investigation tonight, but at this time they have no motive for the attack. However, some witnesses claim that the bombs seemed to be deliberately aimed at Woods himself. Anyone who has any possible information on the suspects is urged to contact..."

[BREAKING NEWS]

[As heard on various news sources]

"...with it being Patriot Day, it is a shock to hear of a breaking story on one of our military bases. Lieutenant Andreas Karalis and University of Washington sophomore Amanda Keefe were victimized in a brutal attack at the Fort Lewis complex in Washington. Reports state that five masked men broke into military quarters around three a.m. this morning, and surprised the victims, tying them both up. Lieutenant Karalis was severely beaten with various weapons, and Miss Keefe was beaten, stripped nude and had numerous Bible verses carved into her skin with a knife. She also suffered some stab wounds. Medical experts say that the injuries of both victims, while severe, are not life-threatening. The female victim is pregnant, but mother and baby are both listed as being in stable condition. The military has chosen to release the report due to allegations that both victims are known reincarnations of figures in Greek mythology: the hero Achilles, and the Muse Erato, on the suspicion that other so-called 'godlings' may be targeted next..."

The Latest from the Joint Chiefs of Staff

"...most absolutely they are a threat. They are disruptive to our culture and ways of life. I do not think that they should be considered protected under any of the documents laid out by the Founding Fathers. Not the Declaration, not the Bill of Rights, not the amendments, none of it. After all, those documents were drawn up to protect the human citizens of the United States. And these... things... are not human like you and me."

The Latest From the Foundation For Christian Families

"...well, it's just downright alarming that, as a good Christian nation, we're being invaded by these upstarts! God said 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me,' and that's exactly what they're trying to do! We are inviting God's judgment down upon ourselves, our families, our very nation if we continue letting them gallivant about unchecked! Someone needs to do something, and soon, to put these so-called gods back in their place!"

Attention, All Godlings

Hello, Godlings. Have you all been playing nicely together? I do hope so. You'll need to.

You've done well otherwise so far. Finding your lost treasures. But those won't be enough. There is more to find.

[Filter: Celts]
A secret has been lost in Eire, and it sings where the living voices went silent.

[Filter: Egyptians]
Once your blood ran through the veins of kings, and their power remains there buried. Find it, and it is yours again.

[Filter: Greeks]
Westward where the son of Troy, and the children of Venus and Mars brought forth their power, a piece remains.

[Filter: Hindu]
Far in the East, near where warriors come forth from the earth, a touch of power remains. Its music can make you dance again.

[Filter: Judeo-Christians]
You must seek the song in the wilderness again to find the lost power, far to the Devil's own continent.

[Filter: Norse]
The mountains hold secrets again, high in the clouds, but you must go south to seek the power that was lost. It sings in the shadow of the lost city.

[/filters]

Remember. You must strike while the time is hot. Let it grow cool, and it may slip through your fingers.
