Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jochannan" data-source="post: 2471637" data-attributes="member: 34068">Jo'Karr appears before Albedo, bearing a great chain in one hand, and a great warhammer in the other."You call me a coward? You who would not face me until I was with your master and the others at the council? Your impudence is staggering. Fine, you shall have your battle.  ALEXANDRA!!!" Ranks of angels part and the most beautiful creature that Albedo had ever laid eyes on steps forth, her very presence moving the millions around her.  She walks casually up to Jo'Karr, glancing about as though she might be there by accident.  He kisses her gently upon the cheek, and Albedo feels a new hatred for Jo'Karr.   "Alexandra, my greatest archangel, this is the one who murdered your breatheren in cold blood.  This is the one who insults me and expects I will not smite him.  This is the one who used my own divine bow to create the first demon.  But he is mortal, and as such, I cannot simply kill him.  This is a mortal affair, and as greatest amongst the mortals, what do you want to do with him?" Alexandra glances at her opponent, but her gaze is without malace or hatred.   "I will humble him, it is the worst thing I can do to him, and he has earned it." The statement is almost as a sentence of death, Albedo feels as though he might flee.  Alexandra sings a long, clear note of the magic music invented by the aelves, for she was the one who gave the inspiration to the music's creator.  But this music is greater, her voice brings the ranks of angels to their knees.  Albedo finds himself kneeling before her, and he finds he can only stare at her and listen.  He doesn't struggle or care when the Bow of Jo'Karr is taken from him.  He doesn't flinch when the divine chain of Jo'Karr binds him and he is dragged away by the god to the council.  Only when he can no longer hear the music does he struggle.  He writhes and fights and tries to cast a spell, but cannot. "I once killed a titan then destroyed a sphere of annihilation within minutes of each other, I can hold you if I please, mortal." Albedo stops struggling and only feels the heartbreak from the bitter silence.   "I understand now, I understand you, Jo'Karr.  I'm sorry." "I know." Jo'Karr and his captive reapear in the council. "Sorry about that... but my attention was... required.  I feared the retribution of certain members of this council would harm many innocents should he be killed, after all, who wants to see all their hard work destroyed?  When we are done with the present matters, I request a vote on what should be done with him... so that it is fair according to all.  For my part, I will accept this council's wisdom on the matter."</blockquote>
