To Dwell In Nightmares and Dreams

Breaking Through

Ralph nodded at him.

Stiles said very simply "What would the point of the Silver Soul giving me all this power if it wasn't to rule? If it wasn't to take responsibility over everyone's else's lives and protect them with everything I've got?"

"Reasonable idea I suppose" Ralph said, seemingly to relax slightly against the wall. But then he added slowly "Though if that were the case then why do you look so angry?"

Stiles just stared at him.

"I'm a powerful sorcerer from the Mind District, give me some credit Master. I can see it, even your body is trembling with anger. It's so slight that no one other that sorcerous from the Soul and Mind District would be able to recognise it. I thought it was fear at first but no, that's not it"

If it had been anyone else asking Stiles would have refused but he was going to die soon, so what did he have to loose?

"This place holds some unpleasant memories for me, that's it. I've heard and seen that the sorcerous of the Mind and Soul were good at reading into those things"

Ralph nodded.

"It's our speciality"

Stiles knelt down slightly so he was facing Ralph. Then looked at him directly in the eyes.

"You know your fate so I have nothing to lose by letting you look into my eyes, tell me sorcerer, what do you see?" His voice gained power as he spoke, this was a command.

Reni did not question Stiles, who would?

He looked into the Grand Master's eyes, almost flinching at the golden light radiating from them.

As he looked into Stiles eyes a number of emotions surfaced into his mind. There were many emotions and confusing thoughts and even a couple of memory's but the memories were to difficult to grasp hold of so he just focused on the thoughts and emotions.

"I can sense a lot of kindness and a fierce protectiveness towards those who you care for however despite this you don't trust easily and there is a lot of hatred and anger within you that can warp and twist these emotions if you are not careful"

As soon as he finished his sentence Reni looked away, avoiding Stiles eyes with ease and avoiding the temptation to look for more information.

Stiles slowly stood up, leaning back slightly.

"I see"

He had a hunch that's what it would be. He looked away, thinking about Reni's words and yet how could he not feel this anger at how he was treated and how could he not hate them and himself for still getting so affected by his past. He was all powerful wasn't he? Then why did his memory's still hurt him?

"Is that all Master?" Ralph Reni asked mildly.

Stiles nodded, he got everything that he needed to know about this man.

However before he left the prison he turned back to the sorcerer "You're aware how that ability works right? Looking into peoples souls through their eyes"

Ralph was about to reply probably with a yes but Stiles interrupted him before he could.

"If you look into me then at the same time I can look into you" 

Ralph stared at him, for the first time his eyes widening.

"To be honest I didn't use to be very good at this but my skills at all the different abilities have grown incredibly since I became the Grand Master. From what I see you  don't believe that I understand what your going through though you do understand that I'm now in charge and you've accepted your fate.  I know you"

Stiles smiled bitterly at him.

"I really wish I didn't understand you though. But I do. The anger and hate you felt? Well I used to be a human and was in a werewolf pack. They abandoned me in this world and after that I was tortured in a prison close to yours for a long time to try and awaken my magic, maybe you shouldn't judge someone just by their power Reni. Goodbye"

He then left.

Before he did he saw expression on Reni's face. Stiles had to say he looked really shocked.

And when the verdict came.

He will be executed.

But on Stiles wish.

"Make sure he is given a proper funeral and invite the whole district. I can see how they have given him their respect"
