Council of the Corsair Elders

[Zelot]

Miguel found himself approaching the Council Chambers again. It always came back to this building. Miguel had called the Council together to name his replacement for Ramirez's seat. As usual, it had been some time since the Council had been in session. Carlos had been locked inside his Villa for weeks, or so Miguel had been told. Grimly had been replaced. Miguel had sent out the message, but he wasn't exactly sure who he was going to find when he walked into the Chambers. "Ah well" he thought to himself, as he approached the doors...those damn doors. Some nights Miguel cursed Carlos for bringing him back to the Council. He was flanked by the Brotherhood's newest Elder, Carson Hawking, a brash and confident young Corsair, with, most probably, more spirit then brains, but that is what makes a Corsair, Sephardi thought to himself. "I am getting to old for this sh...." Miguel trailed of under his breath. With another sigh, he pulled open the doors, walked into the room, and with a booming voice announced " Mi Hermanos.. as tradition dictates, as we have for generations, I give you.. Elder Carson Hawking."
