He could feel the anger in the air as soon as he arrived in the Mind District. He could hear the furious yelling and struggle from even inside the throne room. Madam Rucia looked very stressed. 

"What happened?" Stiles asked, trying to sound calm and not let her hear his frustration. It felt like his problems just piling up, one after another.

Madam Rucia said sounding tired "It's about that man that you executed, Ralph Reni." 

Stiles gritted his teeth, he had thought he'd been done with that for a while? 

He scowled, right, he needed to deal with this now. 

Stiles formed a portal, Madam Rucia asked "What are you planning to do?" 

He said grimly "Something I should have done a while ago" 

Before Alicia and Madam Rucia could ask what he meant, he stepped through the portal and closed it behind him. 

He hadn't wanted to do this but he couldn't think of any quicker way to get them to stop. 

Stiles stepped into the riots, he was in his smaller size, covering his head so no one at first knew who he was. 

Furious shouts pierced his ears, aggression filled the air. 

He was bumped into a number of times as scuffles broke out between the public and the Mind Core, who were like the version of the police in this world. 

Even though the Mind Core were more used to combat with their sorcerory, everyone could use magic which made things very difficult in struggles like these. 

Stiles let out a breath, why did everyone have to make things more difficult than it actually was?

He caught sight of someone familiar, struggling with a member of the public, wrestling them down to the floor.  Her name escaped him but he knew he'd definitely seen her before. 

He closed his eyes, knowing this would take a lot of focus. Stiles called upon his power as the Grand Master, feeling his magic fill up his entire body, his eyes started to shine brightly. 

His body that was filled to the brim with runes, began to glow, no one noticed at first until... 

"Everyone stop, now!"

The Mind Core and the Public cried out as a thunderous voice boomed inside their heads, then a heavy invisible weight slammed into everyone, forcing them all to the ground. 

The different types of magic that been in the air was overwhelmed by a force of unbelievable power. 

They all stared in fear and awe at the giant that stood before them.

Stiles had transformed into his more bigger more intimidating size, the hood cast a dark shadow over his face and all anyone could see was the glow of his eyes. 

He realised without meaning too he had transformed into his more monsterous form, that had scared the council. 

He decided that treating them all like they were responsible, instead of just the citizens would make the sorcerous who were causing the riots more likely to cooperate with him, that and it seemed some old fashioned force was needed. 

Stiles spoke coldly and aloud his power to fill his voice "What is going on here? I leave this District for a little while and chaos erupts!"

At first silence was all Stiles heard, everyone too frightened to speak but once they realised he was not going to do or say anything until someone spoke, finally a voice broke the silence.



Sorry this took so long to do, the schedule I've been planning went very haywire as I got very distracted with personal issues for a while.
