Akoni had separated from Lily and Fenn on the way to their ultimate destination, though it might have been more appropriate to say that the demons had separated from the rest of the group. The mage preferred to save time in their hurry, utilizing his gates to speed up the journey. The two demons had chosen to walk by their own power. Whether or not the human and half-demon chose to make use of the portals as well, Akoni would be moving his way. It was simply the most efficient manner at their disposal, after all. As such, he had gotten to the destination prior to Lily and Fenn, though unfortunately the orb now inside Fenn's body was a key, so he could progress no further. With a grumble that could only come from age and irritation, the old man sat down and waited for the others to arrive. 

Once finally his peers had shown up, Akoni was pleased to see the nephilim, Wrath, had also been able to make his way there, and with a second orb, no less! Considering how the armies of demons had been slaughtered to a quiet ease, it had seemed the day was a very progressive one. That was until Heaven's forces arrived, demanding they be provided the artifacts. The first to react were Lily and Fenn, ever in sync with one another. Then Wrath expressed a certain curiosity for the artifacts. Ever the dutiful wizard, Akoni felt the need to enlighten those around him. [i]All[/i] of those around him.

Which means..."[/color] The old man narrowed his eyes at the divine being before them, so large, so mighty that he could tear the sky asunder. [color=dodgerblue]"They are under the jurisdiction of the Charred Council, [i]not[/i] the Heavens. In this matter, we outrank even the most holy. Begone, Lord Kushiel, so that we may continue our work for the Balance."[/color]
