Dagmar snaps a shot on her phone of the physical copied list.

"Yeah? Ok....."

Brekke nods, looking at the boy a long moment. Then she turns to the Genie. "Adam is sidhe kinain...but he desires to be sidhe. I ask that he be granted this desire. I wish that Adam Thomas be made a full sidhe of a seelie house." Her jaw tightens as she puts the final, and possibly unfair, condition on his transformation.

Adam looks... over come.

Wiped out out and fulfilled at the same time.

Mazu-Morkata closes his eyes "This will be one of my greatest works yet..." Power builds

Brekke looks to Adam. "Do not make me regret this, Adam. You will have the power to do great good...do not misuse it."

A burst of light pours through the windows, the balefire roars, and Adam shines as if drinking in starlight like a sponge takes in water

Outside, Piper gasps, and marvels - covering her eyes from the spray of light.

"What's going on?" Dagmar rises from the table and heads for the door.

"Oh...." Kerri's eyes widen, stunned.

And then... Adam is bathed in the crimson and silver garment of House Fiona.... for a moment, his ears elongate... his features grow more glorious than ever... a sword appears at his side bearing symbols of trumpets on the hilt! For one moment, one glorious moment, he is not possessed, he is ADAM.. Fiona SIdhe!

"Dagmar, wait...."

Kerri says.

And then.... Adam isn't. Oh he has the arms and armor... the garments, but he's back

She waits, thanks to dutiful stubborn will...

Mazu-Morkata blinks "I do not understand."

Brekke watches the transformation as long as she can..

And then...after having to look away....she turns to look again. A frown. "What has happened?"

His breath hitches, seething, searching....

Mazu-Morkata says "He IS sidhe, but for some reason.. he refuses to awaken. Even here in a freehold. I... but I have granted the wish!" HE laughs "How comical... it doesn't matter.. MY part is done. I am free"

Piper bursts through the front door once the light has faded, still shielding her eyes. "Adam?!" She calls frantically.

the lamp breaks into three pieces... and the Genie bows "I do not know what keeps you a seed, but that is not my problem. Farewell, Rivervale. I go to far grander places"

Hearing Piper's voice, Kerri says, "That's it...come on...." and releases the kitchen crew from their confinement.

"Stop, I can...."

Dagmar bursts out into the great hall.

Brekke frowns, but nods. "You are free, Mazu-Morkata. Will you stay and speak, of your own will? Share coffee?" An offer.

Kerri follows right behind Dagmar. She's relieved to see that nobody looks damaged.

"No no... Grimhand... This world is not safe for me... but I will tell you this, whatever blocks this... perhaps there is a way to stop it's conquering grip, but that is for others to worry about. Solve this like your kithain solve all things"

And the Genie vanishes with a roar and rush and gone

"Chieftain? What happened?" asks the Hearth. "And what is this scroll?" she still holds onto it, though she's already copied its contents.

Piper blinks to clear her eyes, she looked into the light too long... and sees Adam - a bright red and silver blur... Blink Blink... and it's... Adam. In new clothes. She rushes to his side, and reaches a hand to cup his cheek. "Adam??"

Brekke doesn't answer immediately. "Adam?"

The keen eyed might notice that Adam's reflection is that of a sidhe!

But only the reflection. The body is that of a kinian

Dagmar hangs back, eyebrow raised. She kens Adam.

Dagmar might get a headache. There's a sidhe soul in there. But it should be bursting out. ALl the glamour in the hold!

Gerd is gaping as she has come out "Are the trickster Gods BORED up there or something? "

"Ow... what? What the actual fuck?"

"Dagmar...." Kerri tsks.

"No, Kerri - ken him!"

"Adam, please, answer me..." She pleads.

"He's...." Furrow.

Kerri frowns and focuses, kenning the young man.
