The council.
The very mention of its name set a chill down her spine and through her being. They had been the ones to try and involk the Forbiddion from its sleep, the sentient god of that terrible power, now dead and buried. But the power remained. Untapped, hidden, therefore undesired and unknown. It was left best that way.
This was a weakness...running from this. Was she not the leader of these people, to show them the strength that no council could ever know? A group of many was easier to corrupt than a single, strong willed person. And how true, she was not perfect.
She sat there, for a long time, then nodded slowly, concidering his words with great thought.
They would think her an indecicive woman, but as he said....she was not perfect. She never claimed to be, and knew she never would be.
"Mannin. Send word that I renounce my earlier announcement of stepping down. I'm going to stay, but I would like to make Tyrsis part of this in some way. I heard what she did, and she was very level about it. Also send word to the Dan'Shir manor that I am not stepping down as well..."
The old scribe nodded and left again, oddly always returning silently without notice, until he was needed. He had his job down to a T.
Zenra sighed, tilting her head at Dias' trigger on Tyrsis, then she felt something, and almost jumped to her feet. She didn't need Dias to tell her, she already knew. As soon as Emi arrived she felt it. Not so much the maternal sense kicking in, but something deeper. The ebb and flow of that terrible power that none of them had anymore.
She took one look at Dias and shot out of the office, taking two steps at a time on the stairs when she reached them. She wasn't as fast on the ground as she was in the air, but she was still pretty nimble. She burst into her room, to find her elder of the same daughter, nude and on the floor, her locket around the girl's neck. Quickly, she darted over to the bed and yanked off a cover, and covered Emi before Dias followed her in.
"Goddess...what happened..."
