Novan and the rest of the leaders of the coalition sat around a room with a giant table, with a map of all their territories combined.

The leaders were arguing amongst themselves, trying to figure out how to stop the new enemies encountered at Judas' citadel.

"There are now three new Gods that have joined the fray : Judas, Asmodeusu and Sluth. Along with Dialego, Folklas, Void and Locust, and their armies and the worms, and these shadow creatures, we will be outnumbered 20:1. If we are to make a stand, we must understand how these gods are ascended to such powers." Wrathas argued.

"They must be mortal, there must be a way to slaughter those gods, and the cryptic creatures at the gates!?" The Blind Man said.

"There is," a woman said as she entered. She entered the room with a much older man, wearing traditional clothing.

"You can't be in here, you must leave," Novan demanded.

"I can, and we will stay. Solomon may account for me," the woman said, pointing to the mad scientist.

"Ira?" He asked.

"It is me, Solomon. I have returned. As Monk-Mother."

"And what did you gain from your leave?"

"Power. Over our enemies. And for your soldiers. I present the powers to wield time and its energies. I only ask for the most disciplined and mentally competent among your soldiers. Only one from each land may present themselves."

"And who is the man?" Wrathas asked.

"I am Alcor. The last of The Symphony tribe. The Monk-Father. I am the one who holds the secret of the Kloseg, and how to kill the Gods and Serpents."

"And how convenient?" Solomon said.

"Silence boy. I was there when you were veiled. I was there when I saw the abominations rise and fall. I was there when the Kloseg came and took control of the governments and execute their own people. I saw the Kloseg veil as many as they could, and killed who rejected. I watched as you displayed bravery against those in that Red Iris in the Sun. That Vile Red Tower. I was the one who saw it rise and fall. Do not speak to me boy,"

Solomon was silenced by the other members in fear of the old man, whom had his hand on his belt reaching for something.

"How do we kill the unkillable? How do we silence the roars in the distance whom we don't know? Tell me old man, how can we blind the infinite-eyed?" Solomon asked.

"You don't. Let it starve. Let it become restless. Then they will become cannibals. We use Excalibur after they become mad with hunger for power."

"Excalibur?" Calvin asked.

"It is a weapon of the old days. Older than myself. It was used as a tool to look for better ways to utilize the powers of the universe. It is meant to pull at their strings and understand. We can use it against the Gods and their snakes, and make them beg for death."
