I Will Be The Medium.

The battle, while short had a lot of implications. 

While it was ongoing, every last one of the Haron forces in the Doxon Duchy had met their end and with Kirill's defeat, the last resistance to the Sapphirine Cult in the Duchy was subjugated.

Svetlana Doxon, the Duchess herself was not against the Sapphirine Cult, she was against being out of the loop.

"Don't bother resisting. It is done." Hal said to Kirill both vocally and mentally.

Kirill gritted his teeth,

"I can't-" he began to say but Hal interrupted him,

"I could so easily have made your death permanent. Your Ordinance is absolutely nothing before me" Hal said and he turned away from him in the air as the Astral sphere around them faded away.

"Why didn't you? Why didn't make it permanent?" Kirill asked.

"Oh come on, is it not obvious? I still have use for you yet. Your first order of business is to prepare a report to inform the Imperial Palace that Doxon is mine.
