Dandelion heart (A faeries soul sequel) Elfman and Evergreen

A wolf among dogs

Well that couldn't have gone better Advorsus thought as he marched down the dark and freezing corridor, leading towards his newest victims chamber. If the grand magic council seriously expect me to collect the results they want, in the time space they have given me. Then they know that he won't be alive afterwards like master Org hopes Advorsus continued to think, his hand freezing on the icy door as he remembered his sudden awakening not two hours ago.

It was hardly one o'clock in the morning before he was rudely awakened by one of those disgusting frog people. He had sensed their presence long before they nervously knocked on his door. Just when I was about to get started on Elfman's memories Advorsus thought, a bitter scowl twisted on his face as he sat up from his cold hard seat and paced through his barren room. Grabbing the door Advorsus ripped before those disgusting web fingers touched them, his snarling face glowering down into the terrified one before him. "What do you want?"

"Ah...ah sir, you h-have been summoned by the g-grand magic council sir" the toad stammered, quivering behind an upraised hand fearfully.

"You do realize that I was about to start my work when you interrupted me?" Advorsus growled while grinding his forefinger and thumb into his eyes aggressively

"B-but, but sir you are in your room?" the toad mumbled, his voice shaking as he stepped back.

"Oh shut up" Advorsus said through clenched teeth, his fingers snapping as a magic circle appeared above himself and the toad, flashing with a bright light. As the light flared the entire room disappeared in the blink of an eye, until the light quickly faded, revealing a long pristine white hall, in its center an equally long marble table sat. Advorsus glowered intimidatingly at the aged people that sat around the table, their body's shifting uneasily under his gaze. Good let them be afraid Advorsus thought as he paced forward past the toad that was dropped on the ground, his face or what little you could see of it unreadable. "Why have you summoned me?" Advorsus said, his voice deep and booming through the silent hall.

"Good straight to business" Gran Doma said his gaze trained heavily into Advorsus' own "I hate small talk".

"Nor do I have the patience for it" Advorsus replied. Out of all the grand magic council, he is the one I always fail to intimidate Advorsus thought, leaning over so his fingers were splayed on the white table top. "Now why am I here? you know I have work to do" Advorsus growled.

"Yes this is concerning your work, Advorsus" master Org said his eyes glowering under his bushy brows , not quivering for a second much like Gran Doma.

Ah yes master Org, you are another of the few I fail to intimidate Advorsus thought as he shifted his gaze towards the white robed man, his face still impassive. "And what of it?"

"We are getting too little results in the time that you have" Gran Doma continued "and we have to little time left"

"And what do you expect me to do hmm?" Advorsus questioned, looking into each of the council members eyes and watched delightedly as they squirmed.

"We need finished results. In the next day or so" Gran Doma said his fingers in a steeple beneath his bearded chin.

"In a day you must be joking" Advorsus muttered.

"I'm afraid we are not, we've seen you break people in even less time then what you have. What is the difference now?" Gran Doma asked.

"I'm enjoying myself-" Advorsus began.

"He is not there for your personal amusement!" master org shouted while standing up in anger "he shouldn't even be here at all!" Out of all the grand magic council, he was the only one opposed to capturing Elfman and using him as an experiment.
