I looked around the circle and slowly began laying out the plan. There was no reason for us to choose between the different approaches we had discussed because the coming war would require every advantage we could create before facing the Eternals directly.
"We will do all of it," I said. "But not all of us will be doing the same thing."
My gaze settled on Aurora first. "You will lead the effort against the vassal universes. Take Ash and Silver with you, and if you need more strength, speak with the Council and bring along whichever Demi-Gods they are willing to assign. We need to weaken the Eternals before we confront them directly, and the vassal universes are part of the strength they have accumulated over all these years."
Aurora's expression immediately brightened. "So I finally get to lead an army."
"Don't get too excited," I said with a smile. "Your objective is to weaken them, not destroy half the universe because you enjoyed yourself."
