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.
