No one said a word after that. Stiles tried to hide his nerves though he did feel some stray anger emerging but he cut it off.
"Yes, that's true. I used to serve the Lord of Mind, I believe the last Grand Master wanted me to take that position but...I guess it didn't go as planned"
Stiles glanced down at his hands, looking at the size difference compared to everyone else, a constant reminder...
The Lords and Ladies all flinched a little at the sound of his voice, they all could feel the power flowing through it.
"This is... most unusual" The Lady of Air slowly.
Her expression.
Their expressions...
Stiles had a feeling they didn't approve, the slight tingle of anger was back.
It wasn't like he asked for this!
His hands curled into fists and unknown to him, golden energy started to spark from his hands dangerously.
It didn't go unnoticed by the Lords and Ladies though.
The air suddenly seemed thicker somehow.
Stiles watched as the Lord and Ladies all paled dramatically.
The Lord of Fire spoke, his strange amber eyes noticeably staring down st the ground as he addressed Stiles "Its just a shock for everyone. We did not mean any to show you offence, please forgive us Master!"
Master...
Stiles liked the sound of that...
The Lords and Ladies found suddenly that they found it much easier to breath.
He stood tall.
Stiles said coldly, turning his gaze on each of them "If anyone has a problem that I used to be human, speak up now"
Some shifted uneasily but no one spoke.
Stiles decided to handle all of this he was going to need a more direct approach, he pushed all his feelings about what had happened to the back for now, he needed to focus.
"No? Good! Now I'd like to the real business at hand. I hoped that you all could inform me on what the hell I am doing. I heard now and again the Grand Master needs with the Lords and Ladies of each district like this. What happens in these meetings? What is usually discussed?"
Ren said, sounding oddly prideful at Stiles reaction "In these meetings we usually discuss the health of our districts and whether or not any trouble that we should concern you with has come up"
Stiles nodded in understanding.
"Usually the Grand Master can tell if something wrong in our district" The Lady of Water spoke softly but everyone could hear her.
Stiles looked at her confused.
She replied calmly "The Grand Master had a lot of secrets. I don't know how he did it but he could just tell by looking at us"
Looking at them Stiles thought, confused.
He called upon the energy seeping thickly through his veins, the thread connecting him to them suddenly became more visible, only visible to him though, then Stiles noticed two things at once.
The Lord of Fire's thread had a sickly tinge of grey running through it.
While the Lady of Air's thread seemed to have faded. The other threads were strong and bright.
Stiles wasn't sure what that meant but he guessed it didn't mean anything good.
"Okay, I think the only two people I want to speak to is both of you"
He nodded at the Lady of Air and the Lord of Fire.
The Lady of Air gave no reaction but he swore the Lord of Fire seemed to almost squirm in his seat. He looked...guilty?
The other Lords and Ladies took that as a dismissal, portals to their district appeared within the court room as they stepped through them, almost eager to leave.
Ren was about to leave but Stiles called out to him.
"As I'm the Grand Master now, I can basically do whatever I want right?"
Ren nodded slowly "In a sense, why?"
Stiles eyes narrowed as he replied "After I'm done here I'm going to the Mind district, there are still things I need to take care of"
The Lord of Souls could sense the threat in his voice and the temperature dropped...
He did not disagree.
Ren shivered slightly, he wondered who the unlucky ones where that deserved his anger.
"As you wish. As the Lord of Souls it's my duty to serve under you, much more than the other Lords and Ladies of their district. You will see me again"
Then he disappeared into his own portal.
Stiles turned to the Lady of Air and the Lord of Fire, still sitting, eyes down, waiting for his command.
"Right" Stiles said "Lets get started shall we?"
