Bab 51: Resolute [4]

Given the circumstances of the incident, the Council had no choice but to intervene.

A former Great Power had escaped custody.

The initial reports were vague. Some believed Mikhail had used magic, others thought he exploited a gap in security. No one could say for certain.

But one thing was clear. This wasn't something Index could handle on its own.

Faced with such a threat, the Index issued an immediate request for aid.

At that time, there was only one Great Power available.

Soliette Dominique.

Her arrival was quick. Along with her came a team of doctors, medics, and security reinforcements. 

The Council's decision was clear.

If a former Great Power had broken free, then only another Great Power could stop him.

It was simple logic.

A Great Power to stop a former Great Power.

The battle ended within the day. The aftermath, however, lingered far longer.
