"You thought we wanted peace? You thought we would share this world with you? No! We wanted time! Time to prepare! Time to build! And you gave it to us like the generous, stupid creatures you are!"
Gasps rippled through the chamber. Council Members exchanged looks of horror. The Sovereigns stared with expressions ranging from fury to grim vindication.
"Deathrock was going to open a pit straight from Hellfyre!" Braavas continued, his voice rising with manic pride. "A direct gateway into the heart of your precious capital!
