William is older, but not much older, the balefire has helped, CC's love has definitely helped. It is at the club's flame that he sits, more like a godfather of some crime organization than some silly king with a crown on his head. He wears a nice suit, not ermine capes and crowns. Calidora strides in, swaying, forever fine wine, wearing the burgandy and reds she favors in her most unseelie. Even outside the shadow court, she remains a high priestess

"Would you like to see them, lover? They're ready to make their reports" She purrs
shadylady 11:43am
"Yes. This should be interesting. "

"Ladies," CC calls out, "He would like to see you now"

And out they come, Seven years, seven years to work and shape, and he must give much credit to the daughter of pan by his side. Between the two of them, they have made his newest agents what they are. Taking lead, as she often does, is Sylvi, oh how much like Kerri the young woman looks. She wears the long flowing dress that hugs her sides and screams 'diplomat' at sidhe courts. Courts she has worked hard to disrupt, to sow the seeds of troll dissatisfaction. The loveliest of the lot of them, Sylvi is a true winter beauty now, high cheek bones, flowing long hair like slow glacier melt, and her dress tastefully cut to hint at peeks of the flesh beneath. Few would realize how dangerous she is. She doesn't bow, but rather moves to William and kisses his cheek. "I can't wait to tell you how it went at the Mist Edge Lodge"

"Wait your turn," Siv grins, the oldest of them but hardly ready for grump hood, his pirate, his phantom to fate's designs, is rather attractive herself, fetching in swashbuckling garb, "He'll want to hear about my raid on Charm's shipping lanes I think."

"Mmph," Dagmar grunts. The young woman raw muscle, pure physical power, but also cunning and fearless. A spy among house Gwydion. William gets thrilled just thinking about it. She's taken off that silly falcon in his presence, she knows he's no fan. Her halbred gleams, recently cleaned, no doubt to wipe the blood off it. She is his blunt instrument, his war machine in full plate, but she is so very good at it. She shrugs "Hemlock's trial isn't going well. His witness 'vanished" She cuts to the chase this one.

The youngest of them, Gerd, strides out in all her gothic glory, black garments as dark as her heart, the 19 year old woman says, "I've dropped that corby off where you wanted. When do I get a real challenge, boss?"
shadylady 12:20pm
"Are we missing one?" He casts a critical but approving eye over the ladies gathered, and then addresses the question to his Dearest.

"You mean, Jessica?" CC smiles
shadylady 12:25pm
"Oh, She's doing very well in Serpent. The early work I did embedding a hatred of Leanhuan is bearing good fruit there. Very well....." He turns back to the ladies. "I think now, Gerd. Now, all of you.... Now, we will put all the pieces together." He smiles like Christmas Morning.

The young women share that look, as if Yule gifts are opening for them even now. His cadre of tall blue beauties are now the truest disciples of his cause. Eager to bring chaos and destruction to the sidhe and their silly status quo. Gerd, hearing her missions are going to do even more damage tosses her dark dyed hair like she's about to take center stage. Sylvi, the true star of the show (just ask her), redraws his attention by running fingers along his arm, "Yeah, Jessica's practically got the other baronies there in flames, or will when the time is right.. IS the time right, boss? or... are you sending your azure angels after an even bigger prize?"

Callidora looks so proud of each and everyone of them, "I've done good work, haven't I love? Look how they shine."
shadylady 12:39pm
"Beautiful, each of them, Dearest." He assures her, and them. "Yes, indeed...... Now..... Once upon a time. Did you know that poor bedeviled Count Hemlock, guilty as sin he may be -now-, was once the lover of the former Countess of Charm? Oh, Gerd, how -is- the estranged companion of your youth, Her Excellency? A pity, I've heard some much needed supplies for her health were waylaid during shipment.... Sylvi, dear, I'll hear more about Mist Edge from you, and then you may be interested to know how those supplies and that corby will come to be of use to us there. It is all connected, my ladies. Or, will be. Soon."
earldebuke 12:45pm
The young women look ready to high five and fist bump among themselves at this news, "Oh you mean POOR adie?" Gerd smirks "Poor overwhelmed Addie? She's afraid of her own guards by now." /Siv grins at mention of the shipment seized, "Not feeling sorry for her mentor, bitch never should have crossed me." Oh vindictiveness is a trait they've worked hard to cultivate and it has paid off. Dagmar smirks. Sounds like action soon. And Sylvi? Sylvi explains, "Well, mist edge is ready to lend me its aid... in short, boss. You have dozens of trolls ready to go to war anytime, any place, any where and against anyONE you want to point them It's the DeBukes all over again."

_The realization of this level of success, this much to use, the scales finally tilting and coming together is enough to make him feel young and on fire again with his passion for crownbreaking alive and... and.. and _

(The Dream ends)

Frowning in his sleep, he twitches and squirms next to Callidora, discontent, until he slips back into sleep.
