It was not a simple thing to shut up an old god.

When an old god is weak there must be a new one.

The old gods themselves would see the justice of it.

When the old gods returned to the new world, they brought things with them.

They'd decided for themselves that the old gods had to go.

We are too far from the old gods; they have no power to help us here.

We may, in the end, find the old gods were right after all.

They were going to raise the old gods and end the world.

These are the ones who keep the old gods, she realized.

In the names of the old gods and the new.
