Song is, "We Be Three Poor Mariners" but I changed the lyrics a little bit.

Hades burst through the tower door and went straight for his telescope. The girls and some of Hades' men followed and Hades looked through the telescope. When he gazed through it towards the shore, he sighed in relief when he saw a large blonde wolf, a large fiery wolf and a large tree wolf walking away from Charon's ship. Hades sighed in relief and rubbed his eyes with a grunt.
"Peritrigyrízomai apó ilíthious," Hades growled. [I am surrounded by idiots.]
"Kýrie?" one of the men asked with puzzlement in his voice. [Sir?]
"Den eínai epíthesi, eínai epískepsi," Hades explained with a shake of his head. [It is not an attack, it is a visit.]
O'Callaghan smiled softly. "Ase me na mantépso. Perissóteroi lýkoi stin pórta sas?" she asked innocently. [Let me guess. More wolves at your door?]
Hades stared at O'Callaghan suspiciously. "To xérate óti érchontai?" he asked curiously. [Did you know they were coming?]
"To ékana, kai ómos den to ékana." [I did, and yet I did not.]
Lilly arched a brow as Hades ordered the men to fetch his golden chariot. "Who is it?" she asked O'Callaghan.
"The wolves from your vision and their mother Leto," O'Callaghan replied. "I knew we would meet them eventually, but I did not know when. Our third eye is still fractured but Darrach is working diligently to fix the issue."
Lilly and Rose gawked at O'Callaghan while the men scattered to ready Hades' horses and chariot. Hades was glaring at the three women and he grumbled in irritation.
"Chreiázomai mia exígisi!" Hades shouted. [I need an explanation!]
O'Callaghan nodded and walked up to Hades before pressing a fingertip to his forehead, light flashing from the nail. Hades backed up, almost knocking his telescope over but he grabbed it quickly to steady it. He growled at O'Callaghan viciously, grabbed her chain and yanked her harshly to him.
"What did you ju-" he paused before smacking his lips. "What in the world?"
A chuckle escaped O'Callaghan. "I gave you the gift of another language. No strings attached, Your Majesty," she explained.
Hades blinked in shock as he almost dropped her chain. "What language is this?"
"English. Do not get me wrong, King Hades. I do love the Greek language but English is quickly becoming more popular in the mortal realm and while I know you prefer not to concern yourself with the nonsense of humans, unfortunately you will be forced to make a decision regarding that later on."
Hades merely gaped at her while his horses and chariot flew up to the tower. He turned and cleared his throat before looking at the horses.
"Éftasan i Artemis, o Apollo kai i Leto. Se parakaló pígaine na ta féreis edó," Hades said. [Artemis, Apollo and Leto arrived. Please go bring them here.] The horses neighed and went flying down, then the king looked at O'Callaghan with a frown. "What are you?" he asked.
"Oh, I can't tell you that yet," she teased. "You'll find out in your own time. Now, I suppose you'll be wanting to greet your guests at the front door, so let's go."
Hades huffed with annoyance before nodding and clinging to all three of their chains tightly, then he pulled them towards the tower door and opened it before shoving all of them through the doorway roughly. As he slammed the door behind him, the women giggled amongst themselves.
