Mars Rouses
Being forbidden to leave the abyss
In angel form, Satanus sheds his wings
& slithers to the feet of Toutatis,
Hissing, ʺDo not fret at what things fate brings,
But try again!ʺ
The god leapt to his feet,
ʺThat war was not in vain, let us avenge defeat.ʺ
A messenger was sent abroad
To tell Mars of the story,
How Pyerun & his golden sword
Had robbʹd them of their glory,
ʺNo longer can our pride afford
This sleight of destiny!ʺ
Stirrʹd by this tayle the war‐monarch upstood,
ʺTell Gaul we shall soon gorge on Pyerunʹs blood.ʺ
Mars tool a massive battle‐axe
& thwackʹd it in the ground,
The Earthʹs crust cracks, unearths the tracks
Where ancyent beasts did pound,
& with a snort Conundrum rose, most fearsome of hellhounds.
Mount Olympus
Thor & the Angels
Two sky‐saints sailʹd, deep in conversation,
Above the misty mountains of Midgard,
Discussing the recent situation
& how best to contest Tyrʹs latest card;
The answer born,
Valhalla rings her bells,
While Heimdal blows his horn to herald Joveʹs angels.
ʺLord Thor,ʺ said Michael, ʺMars & kin
Marches to the north once more,
Dead are the days when he must win
Any thought he put to war,
Now is the time to shed your skin
& settle an old score,
No longer should we suffer selfish schemes,
Join with our forces to destroy their dreams!ʺ
ʺI love a fight,ʺ said Thor, ʺI do,
& this one would be fierce ‐
But me & youʹd be lucky to
Such battle‐order pierce…,”
ʺFret not!ʺ said Saint George, ʺBritannia has sent her lion tae us!ʺ
