{Commencing, a meeting between the Great Council will be held, called for by Lucifer and supported by Nox}
{Lucifer, state the problem}
"I wish, I wish to punish my father, the demon who locked me up in hell, my own home, as a sick sort of punishment for a crime I did not commit! For locking me up for thousands of years, taking away all sorts of power that I had over the realm and claiming them for himself, all because I was born different, an abomination, thats what you called me when I was young... I still remember oh do I still remember... For all those crimes you have committed against me, I wish to revoke every right Osiris has to call himself my father, he should return all the control I had over the realm with extra compensation, and I shall have free reign over hell, acting as its supreme ruler." as he spoke he went from anger to almost sobbing then back to anger, and by the time he was done speaking, murmurs where going through the hall as people whispered to each other in hushed voices or sending mental messages.
{Two punishments have been presented for the god Osiris, The first being him revoking all rights to call Lucifer, the ruler of hell his son. The second being the return of all the confiscated rule Lucifer had over the realm with compensation. Another requirement is placed forth by Lucifer, which is granting him the position of supreme ruler of hell. What are the votes on the first punishment presented for Osiris.}
The vote started with Xander who's vote raised shock and exclamation throughout the room. what he said to the surprise of many was a "I will not vote"
Zerya his sister followed his vote with an "aye" containing a hint of anger as to her brother's vote.
Saphla quickly spoke up as soon as Zerya finished. " I think, as a father..." she proceeded to look at Lucifer directly in the eyes and spoke " I think he deserves another chance." She spoke with a firm voice containing not a hint of hesitation. Her vote not only raised exclamation and shock throughout the room but also incited Lucifer's anger.
Veron's vote was a simple "Nay" she did not add anything else to her statement
and following after her was Lucifer who was close to his tipping point by now voted with his voice holding deep anger "Aye"
{ The voting of the 5 elders is now complete, the result was a tie, may the 3 gods proceed with their votes. }
Nox was the first to vote " I think... " coughing twice to control his voice better he spoke again with a hoarse voice "I think brother... that you have failed at your job as a father, and so my vote is aye"
Pytha always the sympathetic one spoke next while looking at Lucifer. "We as gods, are still open to mistakes, none of us, and I mean none of us barred from it. perhaps your grandfather is, but alas, he is a far greater being than we will ever be. Your father, like me and all others have made a mistake, and I think no man should ever go without having a second chance. For all these reasons... My vote is a nay"
And now was Osiris's turn to vote, and he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rock being breaking the act that he had been committed to since his son was born, since that promise... and the hard place was revoking all rights to call himself the father of his only son, the son that he loved so much... and so, as his face contorted into weird shapes, he spoke firmly "I. Will. Not. Vote."
{ The votes are now concluded, as the results are a tie... this problem will be held forth during the next Great council meeting. Moving on, what are the votes on the second punishment presented for Osiris. }
On this one, the votes were fairly simple and quick, and the results were a unanimous aye.
{ Commencing... Complete. Lucifer's control of the realm has been returned with extra compensation from the god Osiris. Proceeding forward, what are the votes on Lucifer's requirement. }
Xander : "I will not vote"
Saphla : "Aye, I think he deserves it."
Zerya : "Aye"
Veron : "Aye"
Lucifer : "Aye"
{ The vote of the 5 elders is complete in favor, may the 3 gods proceed with their votes. }
Nox : "Aye"
Pytha : "Aye"
Osi : "I have a counter proposal, Lucifer will rule hell as its supreme ruler with the aid of my loyal subject Elion, who sill serve as his second in hand and a person who makes sure Lucifer abides with the rules of the realm..."
and although the vote of the 5 elders on this one were against this proposal 3 to 1 the votes of the 3 gods was a unanimous aye which set the proposal in play.
And thus, the 3rd Great council meeting was concluded, and the gods moved on to the topic of changing the time dilation even further...
