The beast lies slain. The deathblow was not mine, but justice has been served. When he evaded both my blow and Vincent's after he was stunned, Aren dragged him over the edge of the building. Her bravery is to be saluted, but that may wait until she is recovered. She did not come through the experience unscathed.
The artifact itself houses a powerful kami. Amenable enough, but my divine bloodright is not enough to compel obedience. It has been easy enough to find a container for it, however, until we can discover fully it's usage. It will hopefully not take long, I would prefer to fully power it down before transporting it home. Mother will know how to handle it, and while he has aided us, I would prefer not to simply give it over to Loki. That seems...inherintly unwise.
We will be moving out soon. Hopefully, it should not be difficult to slip away from the building to somewhere Aren may rest before we move on. I will spend the time trying to discover how to disable entirely the artifact, or at least what I can about it. Unfortunately, I did promise not to say anything negative about how Aren handled the beast. I may, however, think it.
