Nathrangking

I step through behind her and allow myself to be swallowed by the smell of old tomes. I waste little time following her into a nicely furnished room. I take a seat in an armchair and lose myself in thought. @Dr. Dapper @ZincAboutIt @bees? @Blessing of Potency @Sorana

The motion passes!!

Looks like it will pass!

Speak any who have an objection to the proposal!

I nominate @Lunamor to be the mistress of the culinary arts!

I reach out and take the page that Leila had pushed in front of me. A simple parchment with the location of what is sure to be a discreet safe house sits in my grasp.There is no small irony that she whose power influenced Shakespeare, the writers of the Edda, and the writers of tales across the whole of this realm has now written something mundane as an address. The beautiful scrawling script seems to tell a story far beyond what the information itself seems to indicate. Leila has an important role to play I feel it. My old friend the time will come when you star in this tale. "I will accompany you Leila. First, I will reach out to my ally." I close my eyes. In a flash a large portion of my divine spirit splits off from me and travels through space. Dimensions fly by for a moment before I appear in a helicopter. My ward, friend, and ally is seated against the wall of this troop transport helicopter in front of me. "Alexander of Uruk!" My roar carries over the sound of the rotors I believe they are called. Alexander's head jerks up and his eyes meet mine. He mutters a few words under his breath and I follow suit. Instantly, we both appear in a vast throne room of alabaster and marble. Alexander turns his emerald gaze on me and after a moment cocks an eyebrow. "Baalhan why have you come so soon after you answered my prayer by killing two of my comrades?" A certain bitterness fills his accent absent voice. Pain burns behind his eyes. He says not another word. "Hear me Alexander we have little time. Come to this place and redeem your family's honor." The page that Leila wrote appears in my hand and I hold it out to him. He takes it hesitantly. "Keep this with you my friend." My soft voice fades followed by the room. I return to the chamber in the mountain and open my eyes. "By your leave Leila." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I open my eyes, but close them again as a migraine threatens to split my skull. That spell always drains me. It also gives me perspective as it always does. To be just another link in the chain of Gilgamesh and to lose friends and not have power over their fates always stirs anger in me. I practically spit at War himself. I made accusations about family's friend, guardian, and ally. I'll see what I can do about getting leave immediately. I owe him that. @Dr. Dapper @ZincAboutIt @bees? @Blessing of Potency @Sorana

Such selflessness must be noted!

No need to make that sacrifice.

mmm... Pie

I cannot tell a lie... Tis I.

Anarchy!!!!

Well... If we are being totally honest....

A mortal with powers could make things interesting. Mortals are rather willing to abuse that which they are given. We shall see what will come of bringing mortals into the fold. "Call this friend of yours my old friend. Perhaps she can bring these skills of hers to bear upon our enemy. Let us hold council with our sources in a neutral site." I turn to Leila "Leila we may require the use of your hideaway. By your leave we shall hold our next council in your safe house. I think that we should keep this position hidden for now." @Dr. Dapper @ZincAboutIt @bees? @Blessing of Potency @Sorana

Divan

Nice try.

Alexander looks around at his comrades. Two members of his unit lay still on the ground. It is never easy to lose friends in war. He takes a moment by each of the fallen and mutters a short prayer over them. The hardness in his eyes softens a little bit when he thinks not of the dead, but of the living. Today a threat to the security of the world was neutralized. In moments he focuses on the sound of the approaching transport which will take him from this place that he had abandoned and memories of the dead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This that you shall do Leila will be our final act of revenge." I close my eyes and in my minds eye I see the face of an ally and friend. He will be the answer to the question of manpower. I trained him and his family for millennia. Soon very soon their legacy will be restored.I turn to each god and stare at each for a moment before continuing to talk. "I will reach out to an ally when we are adjourned. He may be able to give us insight and aid of a more militant nature." @Dr. Dapper @ZincAboutIt @bees? @Blessing of Potency @Sorana
