"Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?"

Lion, Spartan and Bull replied to the King "O Merciful, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter...
...if it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O King."
...if it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O King."

So the story goes, out from the ashes, three brothers rose,
hand in hand guided by light,
green as grass and full of might
they would be spared pain from the dark blight,
but only if they agreed to go
serving punishment and staying low.
But then someone broke the magic lock,
and out came the wolf to cull the flock,
but instead the threes began to talk,
and once more they embraced their Roles.
A Victim, A Protector, A Guardian.

"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other."
