"Tothon, when are you coming to bed," asked his wife sleepily.
"Soon, I promise," replied Tothon.
"I'll be waiting," said his wife walking back into the bedroom.
Lightly Tothon read aloud the prophecy he had just written, "Woe to the planet. Unholy fire rages from the sky. The Kingdoms begin a Third Great War and the ancient society is plotting."

"Hey guys, come in here," yelled Lexington to the rest of the Clan.
Hudson was of course already glued to the television set. But slowly the Clan drifted in during these minutes right after midnight. The Setara came in as well, a grimace on his face.
"Why did you call us in Lexington," asked Goliath, concerned that yet another crisis was facing them and New York.
"Just watch the TV," replied Lexington, pointing to the television with an image of a mushroom cloud on it.
"That cloud is shaped sort of like a mushroom," said Broadway, thinking of food.
"It's called a mushroom cloud because it's shaped like that," explained Lexington," its very distinguishable from other weapons."
"This cloud is a weapon," asked Goliath.
Lexington was about to answer when the Setara did for him," The cloud itself can spread fallout, radiation to kill and make living organisms sick. However the cloud is not the main weapon, it is the result of a nuclear explosion. Even my race always found nuclear weaponry a devestating offensive weapon."
"Where did it go off," demanded Brooklyn.
"Islamabad, Pakistan," said Lexington.
They all just stood there in a state of "huh?"
"In another country in Asia," said the Setara," But this country we're in will have to get involved, it always does."
They all just watched the television. Images of destruction being shown on it.
With Islamabad destroyed the armies of Pakistan were leaderless, disorganized, and in retreat.
Just as the Gargoyles were turned to stone with the dawn's light, more news came in. Xanatos, Fox, Owen, and Alex watched it intently.
"We are receiving reports of nuclear detonations within India," said the reporter, obviously worried.
"Should I sell off our stocks in those countries as soon as the Exchange opens," asked Owen.
"Yes," said Xanatos absently.
Owen left, knowing he would have to get started now to be there when it opened.
"We're going to take a break from this breaking news," said the Reporter," for a speech by the President of the United States of America."
The view switched to that of a man who had obviously dressed in a hurry, or had been living on coffee, or both.
"My fellow Americans, many of you have not woken up yet to hear this speech, so those of you who have, please do not turn off the TV. Around midnight eastern standard time, India's news agency was stormed by government troops. Then roughly an hour afterword, India launched an all out invasion of Pakistan with several tank divisions and used nuclear weapons on Islamabad.
"Pakistan has responded in kind with nuclear weaponry. However, in the attack on Islamabad it was an attack on US soil. A country's embassy and the property it rests on is considered on the soil of the country it belongs to. Our embassy was only a block from ground zeroe and was completely destroyed.
"Now I must announce to the world that the United States of America is joining this conflict on the side of Pakistan. Hopefully our presence in this war will be enough to deter India from future agression."
The view switched back to that of the reporter," And while that was a wonderful speech by President Smith, we have some breaking news. Vietnam, Thailand, North Korea, and South Korea are joining the side of Pakistan as well, their leaders announcing their intentions."
"Well, there goes our economic plans in the subcontinent," said Xanatos to his wife.
Fox just nodded.
"We congratulate you," said the Council Member with the accent he couldn't recognize.
"Thank you," said the Illuminati Representative," within the hour China and Russia will feel the need to stick their toes into this war. We'll make a killing, no pun intended, on selling arms to many of the countries involved."
"And when it is over," asked another Council Member.
"We can show ourselves to the world for the first true time. That's when we take it over of course. Most of the major governments will be in ruins, their armies too scattered to stop us."
"Then carry on," said another Council Member," leave us."
Xanatos was off with Alex, showing him how to operate the building's forcefield for the event of nuclear attacks on New York. Owen was at the stock exchange selling stocks in the subcontinent. That elft Fox with the job taking a tally of which country was joining which.
"Welcome back to RNN, the Real News Network. Over our commercial break, two more countries joined the side of Pakistan, Russia and Japan announced their support of the battered country.
"Wait we're recieving word of which countries are declaring a pro-India stance. They are: China, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Poland,Denmark, Holland,Luxembourg,Guatemala, Haiti,Santo Domingo,
Cuba, Turkey, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Belize,Panama,
El Salvador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Peru,
Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina,
Ecuador, and Uruguay."
Fox scrambled to write them all down. This was why she hated being the one to write the countries down.
"You might want to write the United Kingdom, Australia, Greece, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, and the Islamic Alliance under pro-Pakistan," said the Setara from behind her.
"How do you know, do you have sources too," asked Fox.
"Probably better ones than yours and David."
"There is no Islamic Alliance yet as a government."
"There will be soon."
"Why do I doubt you?"
"I don't know why you don't believe me."
So she added the United Kingdom, Australia, Greence, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, and the Islamic Alliance to the pro-Pakistan list.
"This just in," said the reporter," The United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Greece, Australia, and every Muslim nation on Earth have declared their support of Pakistan. The Muslim nations are now referring to themselves as the Islamic Alliance..."
She looked back at the Setara. He just shrugged and said," I told you so. You don't know what my sources are saying will happen next."
"What," asked Fox.
