To Dwell In Nightmares and Dreams

Earthquake Reminder

First he had to figure out this before he could talk to the Council but as he looked at them, he sorted out what he was going to do in his head. He knew what he had to do.

"The trading between the Mind District and the Air District will start once more, as there is no current Lord of Mind and he was the reason that the trading stopped, I see no reason it should stay that way now that he is gone"

Adam beamed "T-hank you Master"

The Air District sorcerous looked a little miffed but they calmed down at Stiles next words as he looked at the Sorceror from the Power District.

"On the other hand I do respect her wishes on the Lord of Power. I will monitor his trading sector for a couple of months before I decide whether you should start trading with each other again or continue her wishes if he hasn't learnt from his mistakes"

The sorcerer from the Lord of power district nodded reluctantly, that was fair he supposed.

The Air District sorcerers looked happier with that statement.

Stiles asked warily "Is that all?"

"Yes, thank you for your decision" Adam said quickly.

Adam, Adam, Adam...

Her memories were clear in his head now.

Why hadn't he remembered his face until now?

Salvia's memories.

The face from the Council had been familiar because he'd been the face from Salvia's memories, who'd talked about...treason?

Stiles gritted his teeth as he walked back into his home through a portal, leaving the Air District.

Yeah he definitely needed to talk to the Council.

But he also needed to do something about the Lord of Power first.

Maybe I can get someone else to handle that for me? Stiles thought, after all what's point of being ruler if he did everything himself? Especially if their where more important issues at hand.

He wondered who to ask.

Maybe the Soul Lord? He actually hadn't spoken to him that much despite him being the closest Lord to contact.

"You needed me, Master?"

Stiles very nearly jumped, what the hell?

Ren was opening the huge doors with ease, poking his head out, looking like an eager puppy.

Stiles blinked at him.

"I felt your magic call to me, did you need me for something?" Ren asked.

Oops, well he hasn't actually meant to do that but oh well...

"I'm going to visit the Council. I need you to tell the Lord of Power that I'll be monitoring his trading from now on"

Ren nodded but then faltered as he thought about the Grand Masters words.

"The council m-Master?"

Stiles narrowed his eyes a little as he caught the disproving tome.

"Yes? What is it?"

"Er, no disrespect M-Master but could you take someone with you? I mean, the last time y-you came back from the council, our world trembled. No one was injured badly but your people still fear it"

Oh...

The earthquake.

Suddenly he felt far less distasteful of Ren's presence.

It was replaced by shame at not being able to control his temper.

The dead flower and Mandan Rucia's words playing on his mind.

"Yeah, you're right" Stiles muttered.

Ren smiled widely at that.

Yeah, it probably be best to have someone to calm him down if he got to angry to think rationally...

Which would likely to happen in the presence of mutts.

Stiles wondered who he should bring with him.
