Mithias lept forward and shouted in a sudden burst of commanding presence, "STOP!" He held up his hands in a gesture he had seen once before in Castle Carfax when Bedivere had presided as mitigator and host over the last council meeting. "There can be no violence within the walls of the Council Convention! This is universal and an eternal truth!" Seeing as he had everyone's attention, he went on more quietly. "To disrespect this law would be to nullify any council of vampires ever meeting again, for why would the most powerful and most dangerous of us ever agree to convene with each other if our precious and long immortal lives were put at stake each and every time? Do you see? You MUST agree to this, or we simply cannot work together, ever." He looked At Vladimir, Nora, the others who were threatening her, etc. His message was clear, and he was right. "Now please, calm yourselves. There will be plenty opportunity to take action after this meeting is adjourned, but for now, on the agreed upon grounds, peace will be maintained. This is now sanctuary."
