Calliope - Session 31

Song
Thanks to the Five
(Tune: a joyful, energetic tune with a strong beat for dancing to)

We’ve been told since our youth
That the Titan’s Rule was law
Written in lore
That they’re beings with no flaw

But see the proof in bronzed Mytros1
Of power beyond their wrath
In storm’s aftermath
Proof we can walk a different path

Given chance to right their wrongs,
The Titans stood and refused
In Mytros the storm raged on
So the Five stepped in2
Weaved their powers together,
Banishing the Storm Lord’s hold
To clear the weather

We give our thanks to the Five
We give our thanks to our Gods

As Oath comes to an end
The Titan’s true colours shine through
Not a care for you
Only for what they think they’re due

While they hurl storms
Our Five step up and protect
We won’t forget
They’re the ones worthy of respect

Given chance to right their wrongs,
The Titans stood and refused
In Mytros the storm raged on
So the Five stepped in
Weaved their powers together,
Banishing the Storm Lord’s hold
To clear the weather

We give our thanks to the Five
We give our thanks to our Gods

It is going to be hard3
Can’t let down our guard
But together we’ll overthrow

Footnotes

1Braz, Helikaon, Theo and Hippofilius all came together to put together quite the spectacle to draw attention to the Five’s work. It seemed pretty effective, at least from where I was standing. Braz’s speech was rather moving... we might not see eye to eye on many things, but I have to respect the force behind his convictions.


2We really only had two options… I’m not sure either was correct, but this outcome feels okay. People seem happy! And in the end, with a small amount of encouragement, it was the Five’s choice to sacrifice their power. 

I think that they weren’t forced to do it, silly as it sounds, is important. I do not really remember what they were like, 500 years ago; but now they seem weary, tired, maybe even scared. Perhaps it is unfair to say that they had given up: but I know I am not alone in my suspicions. But this, maybe, might prove to them their own power. Boost their confidence, and show them that it is not a lost war. Huh… what an odd thought: boosting the confidence of Gods...


3Next stop, the Ultros. Though, maybe not for a little while: Vallus has hinted that the Cult of Lutheria is gaining influence, and that it might need tempering. Discreetly. Not our forte, unfortunately. But I am sure we’ll think of something.
