Starts here but I wasn't sure if the following I wrote was part of it or not; I'm a lot better at word count if it's unstructured idea generation.
She gets defeated somehow, from miles away, Moone possibly not even realizing it. It's amazing. Do we even need to show it? It's so inevitable that Moone come out on top that, like, it'd be so great if we didn't even show it, and leave it all up to the audience's imaginations. Anyway this is when they pull out the big guns with the time travelers, as was foreshadowed. Yay.
The Brotherhood had hired Anyone, but it's MacBeth specifically who recruits Slice Slit and Slash, getting back into the Brotherhood's graces. Until they're defeated as well. And Xemf uses MacBeth to power the portal to Athena, to use the NOC list to... do something.
He's a god here in myth, since every man is his ancestor in the dreaming, so which god has a special relationship with Athena? Hephaestus, obviously, but maybe that already happened (ie this is what's happening when Pontifex realizes someone's messing around in the Dreaming,) leaving half-snake Erichthonius to be the ancestor of the entire Brotherhood according to this version of myth; sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy (though not a time loop exactly; xemf just ensures that its ancestors are the gods, which is what allows it to go back as hephaestus in the first place... and hephaestus sprung from Athena's head in the first place?, so...? more time travel? maybe that portion of the myth would have counterpart in the lycaon thing, so that's what we see play out; oh heck Gaia is the one who brings back Lycaon's son and who is the technical "mother" of Erichthonius, it connects that way at least, but how to make that make sense?).
How would xemf or whoever access the dreaming at that point, without having Pontifex's boon?
Also if Pontifex gives up his entire boon to xemf, does that mean that xemf gets the associated bane as well, since the boon would have no counterpart in Pontifex?
