And so it was

  That the First Childrens of the Elder Gods were wrapped in the freedom of death.

  It settled on the immortal mind and their hearts were bent to envy

  Their souls came to hate.

  Jealousy became abhorrence

  Death must be cast asunder.

  And so it was

  That the First Childrens brought wretchedness and slaughter upon their mortal Scions

  When through no sin were fated to Death.

  The Childrens and Scions met in bloody fray

  A clear path was to depart.

  The Elder Gods received their First Children and shared their fearful end

  And all was relinquished for mortals.

  And so it was

  In final resignation

  Aurora and her Eight Gallants took the Nine Swords

  Beautiful blades capable of cutting even Gods.

  Immortals who stood folded and fled and departed

  None could stand before the death wrath.

  And so

  The Gallants Nine brought the death wrath and beautiful blades to the Hall of the Elder Gods

  The exit drenched in their essence and they were Ascendent Numen.

  Death triumphed

  The wisdom of the Ennead

  Had only begun.
