The man holds his hand up as one of the members, a man with heterochromatic eyes walks forward, but stops.  He whispers something to himself and steps back in place.

"You may move as you please in this plane, however the bands placed upon your body prevent you from using any magics or abilities that are tied to you.  Think of it like an anchor to a boat.  You have movement, but cannot leave the place without your chain being broken or lifted.  Explanations aside, you are in no position to be asking questions from us.  But I will humor you and answer them for once.  You have been taken out of the spaces between timelines at exactly 8:44 P.M. in human time.  In terms of place, you are in Kanti, a plane of observation so to speak.  And finally as for the reason, you were wandering not only in uncharted territory, but forbidden space and nearly came into contact with a Gate of Infinity and it's Domain" the man with purple eyes explained.  

(Somnus can keep his form he is in, but he can't change into anything else currently.  It's like a sticky hand, it can stay on something until pulled off.  And as for magic usage, I do not limit it myself, but Arithnia's magic is specific to it's domain, so Somnus himself could face adverse affects to his magic, like being weaker or having a much harder time keeping form of himself.  Though that is easily remedied by staying in Arithnia where it's domain would get used to his magic and incorporate it into itself and make heads and tail of the new magic sources being used.) 

"That depends on who you ask Somnus.  Kidnapping and trespassing are subjective Afterall.  You trespassed upon a realm that you are not native in, and nearly interacted with a sealed Gate, and to top it off, claim that you have done no wrong.  The only reason we "kidnapped" you, as you say, is because I had to keep you from---" the man was interreptud by another with golden eyes, who pushed the purple-eyes man away and slapped Somnus. 

"You fucked up, or nearly did asshole.  Clearly you understand SHIT about our world and it's workings.  You nearly let Percival out and that could have adverse effects across not only our world, but others too.  Shift didn't kidnap your ass, he SAVED IT!  That nutjob of a Soul ya nearly freed tried to influence your weak-ass head and make you a perfect vessel.  And trust me, you don't want that shit happening.  There is a damn good reason why we don't let shapeshifting crack addicts like you around our domain!" the man spat, 

The purple-eyes man, now known as Shift, sighed and placed a hand on the other man.  "Zale, enough already, keep order in the Council.  He came into my territory, I am responsible here." Shift said to Zale, tightly gripping his shoulder, making him flinch.  

"Yee-ouch, fine old man, keep the shit-tosser in line.  Someone had to explain stuff to him anyways, you were getting too slow."  Zale responded back and walked to the line of Council members.

(That's Zale for ya.  He'll do that often.  Maybe not to that extent, but he hates people being so formal and all that.  He prefers to get to the point.) 

Shift sighs and walks back to the other council members and mutters something to one of them, clearly a man with azure eyes who steps forward and takes over Shift's position.  "You may call me Helios.  Your own world's matters and personal affairs are not our concern.  However, what is, is that you are not supposed to be wandering into other people's worlds and timelines.  That much we care about.  We do not know what to do with you just yet, but you can expect this to be severe for interfering with places you should not be in nor around." Helios said, completely ignoring Somnus' question.  
 

(Oh shit, uh, I forgot to describe the area.  Think of it like Tanjiro's Soul in Demon Slayer, it's like that.) 

The Council went silent and all eyes turned to Crimson who walked forward and beside Helios.  "I do not recall a single thing relating to us ever meeting sir.  Perhaps you either have me mistaken for another man.  But I have never met you, not once in my life.  Whoever you are thinking of must share a common name with me.  I am sorry, but I do not know you in any possible way, and do refrain from saying such things in the future.  Where you are and what you have done is of no joke in Kanti.  You stand before the High Council, creation's order and watchful eye.  No magic nor deity or god you have and know can help you in this domain." Crimson told Somnus with a rather serious yet uninterested tone.  As Crimson walked back to the line of standing members, Helios whispered to Somnus.  "Do not question the timeline you stumble in.  Crimson is one of many.  But we are only of one.  A chain sometimes must be used for other tasks.  Think of Crimson in this way." he said rather oddly, but silently.  One member, with silver eyes looks away and scoffs, as if she heard Helios' every word.  

"Do you have any intention of taking what you have done seriously?"  one member in particular called out, Helios immediately walked back to the others and stood as still and closed his eyes, the rest of the members did the same.  This man, one with icy blue eyes, walked slowly to the front and stood a ways at Somnus.  The odd look he gave Somnus made Helios pace a bit, looking nervous.  "I am Generation 1, Zane.  The first of the Project and the First of the Souls created by Aster Korusagi.  You stand before incarnated of the Ascended and of Creation.  I am rather taken aback on how lax and like Crimson you seem to be.  Tell me Somnus, what drove you to investigate our realm and come upon a Gate?  

"You didn't find this place.  On your own at that." the man said and walked around Somnus, somehow pulling a small garden chair from behind him and sitting in it, crossing his legs.  "Shift dragged your body here anyways, it's not like you could have walked anyways.  Your bloody clothes and body were a sight to behold too.  I am rather surprised that Shift managed to keep you alive so long.  Especially after an encounter with Percival himself.  A man like you has no belonging in Kanti, nor Arithnia or it's--" Zane stopped suddenly and his voice grew cold.  "Somnus...you do not understand our world enough, nor do you understand the rules we have in place, and yet you chose to come in search of us on your own accord with little to no regard for your actions.  We are holding you accountable on the same level we hold each other to.  You see this as a game and as a fun oppertunity, but you do not understand the level we go to, to keep Arithnia away from people.  On top of this, even if you were able to get into Arithnia, we would know and we would have brought you here.  Arithnia does not let anyone onto its land, you have to come through the High Council to state your wishes.  I am willing, as the first and greatest power of the Council, to grant you permission to wander the lands of Arithnia, but you will have to abide by our rules and wishes if you so wish to accept my offer.  However, the final choice must be unanimous, and each member chooses one rule for you to follow.  Do you understand and wish to proceed to come into our home?"
