To Dwell In Nightmares and Dreams

The Council

Salvia's memories where a constant reminder inside in mind and he was not about to forget everything he'd seen.

Stiles decided to write down everything that he'd seen in a note book. He had a feeling these memories would be even more important to him at some point in his life.

There was something else big on his mind as well.

As soon as they where back in the Mind District Stiles didn't let himself get lost in grief or sadness. It wouldn't have been what Salvia had wanted.

So the next step was?

"Rucia, who are the council? Why haven't I heard about them before?" He didn't let himself sound accusing, he knew it wasn't her fault. He kept his voice at his human range, knowing this would show her he wasn't upset about it.

"They are in charge of the supernatural in the human world as you've been told. They make sure the supernatural stays secret in the human world and they take care of threats that could bring harm to the human realm"

Stiles scowled a little as he said "Threats like...us?"

Madam Rucia let out a sigh "Let's just say they haven't been welcoming in the past. In their opinion sorcerous should not be in this realm and someone like you, the Grand Master should not exist. They dislike the idea of someone existing with as much power as you do."

Stiles eyes turned cold as he listened to her.

"As long as we don't interfere with each other I don't understand what their problem is" He growled.

Another problem to deal with? Great.

"I guess that's what you'll have to discuss with them" Madam Rucia said calmly and with a reassuring tone, soothing him a little.

Stiles snorted, rolling his eyes "They'll have another thing coming if they think I'll be willing to change anything about that treaty"

He felt a presence waiting by the door. He recognised her as one of the servants who used to serve under the ex lord Mind though he supposed he served under him now.

Due to his chores and the time he'd spent in the prison... he hadn't interacted with many of the other servants under the ex Lord of Mind other than one he'd rather not remember while the other was Alicia.

"You can come in" He called out, letting his voice turn to normal, his new normal now. Despite not liking the idea of talking like this with people he was close to, it did feel far more natural not to hold back his own power while he was speaking.

The servant quickly entered the room and knelt before Stiles quickly.

"Master, I was to inform you that Reni's Execution has been carried out. The people...where not happy but they did not seem like they would course trouble"

Stiles frowned a little. He'd hoped he'd get back in time. He had wanted to be with Reni when he'd died and assure the people of the mind District that despite his punishment he would be treated honourable and not like any other criminal.

But at least there was no riots or anything like that.

"Good" Stiles said.

He gave a quick nod, dismissing the servant. He watched him leave curiously.

"What's his name? I don't remember seeing him around before"

"Terrance. I moved him here just before you became Grand Master. His parents where friends of mine. I trust you are okay with that?"

Stiles nodded as he said "As long as you tell me from now on if new servants arrive here. I guess as I'm acting as the Lord of Mind until we find someone new, so it would be nice to know everyone who is directly serving under me in this household"

"I'll or Alicia will fill you in when you have time" Madam Rucia said approvingly.

Stiles smiled a little at that, he looked forward to it.
