The days into weeks spent in preparation
Had gathered them an audience with no hesitation.
Cry wolf, cry wolf! Yet the people looked
And asked with wide eyes of the evils they booked.

"They arrive when you will least expect it,
Better strike now, while you can still be protected!
Their fangs are dangerous! They'll rip you apart!"
And that was enough to strike fear in their hearts.
