Tainted : Book 1

Telling the council about Malek had gone exactly the way I expected it would. Starting with Jasper calling me a traitor, claiming that I'd been colluding with the emery the whole time. He called me a menace, and for a second I understood what Spider-Man went through with J Jonah Jameson. Hugh had tried to get him to calm down and Jasper had threatened to have me locked up again. 


 Russ was on my side as always and tried to convince the council to hear me out. In the end she'd succeeded and I'd told the council everything I knew, except for the part about all of this being because Malek had chosen to save the life of the man he loved, consequently betraying his brothers and leading the death god getting his hands on the most powerful grimoire known in the four realms, the Sokkot. 


 "Are you sure that's everything," Hugh had asked as his light gray eyes stared searchingly into mine. I'd nodded almost immediately.
