"A black hole?"
"Really? Aren't they larger than that?"
"How did he get hold of a black hole?"
"How did the Ethisians get hold of a black hole?"
"Oh, please. If that were true, then I am the most powerful entity in all of Akrina."
Gravax's claims received mixed reactions from the Council Members. Some were shocked and fearful about the notion of having a black hole in their midst, an element known for its powerful gravitational pull so strong that not even light could escape it.
Others were in disbelief. They didn't believe that a black hole could be concealed in a tiny transparent box. And they had every right to feel that way.
"Wild claims like that will tarnish your good name, Gravax," one Council Member spoke, "are you sure you want to continue with such a claim? Or will you admit that it is a lie?"
The Red Scaled Granian stood silent as the members bombarded with question after question. He listened to them all and didn't respond until the room went silent again.
