Kai:Aye. If our world ends, so does theirs. I can contact Jensen and beg their aid.

Tor: Our father will call every warrior in Novasgard to defend our cause.

Alek:Yes, all we need do is ask.

Thorne:The Blackthorne vampires are ready and waiting. We will call all the families together and enlist their strongest fighters.

Kingston:And you already know the pack is on standby. I can have most of the wolves in North America here by the end of the week. Just say the word.

Caleb turns his focus to Hades.

Caleb:And you, Hades?

Hades scowls.

Hades:And me, what?

Hook:*cough* Suchaprick. *cough*

Hades:It’s not like I can get any of my family on board here. The gods don’t care if this world ends. We are infinite. We’ll simply rebuild and perhaps be able to get some more worshippers out of this.

Kai looks at him, shocked.

Kai:So you’re willing to let everyone here die? Even our mate?

Hades:Did I say that, dragon? No. Don’t put words in my mouth. I will do everything possible to defend Dahlia. My brethren won’t.

Gavin:That sounds like a matter for another time. What about the horsemen?

Hades:What about them?

Gavin:You said they were there with you? At the ritual?

Gavin points to a piece of paper on the wall and nods to himself.

Gavin:Yes, I have it right here. They were essential to Hel’s opening the portal. Do you think they might be of some assistance? Either in stopping this or perhaps providing some useful information?

Kingston shifts in his seat.

Kingston:*laughs* Yeah, that sounds like a solid plan. Which one of us is going to call them up? Excuse me, Mr. Horseman, can you help usstopthe world from ending? I know it’s your entire reason for existing, but we’d really like it to not happen.

Hades:Well... actually, it’s not the stupidest plan I’ve ever heard. They’re fiercely competitive, and they have one hell of a bone to pick with Helene right now. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’d be open to some kind of alliance.

Kingston:So we stop this apocalypse so they can start a different one.

Hades shrugs.

Hades:You got a better idea?

Asher:Okay, so we reach out to the horsemen. How the fuck are we going to get ahold of them? Gabriel has gone MIA.

Hades:Leave it to me.

Asher:You know them or something?

Hades:We have semi-regular poker games.
