Well now that the castle was built, I guess it was time to build the kingdom itself. That and staff this massive fucking place. I guess I didn't realize how much 'bigger' this place was going to be after it was redone. And then there is the fact that, you know, we built it almost instantly and had like zero time to prep for it. In all honesty, we had done it all a little bit recklessly.

There were some plans that I had in mind before I got all of this rolling, aside from the council, so what I truly needed to do was bring a few people here to talk before Dietrich left for his meeting with the covens that were having trouble. This is something that would work well for me as well, since I wanted people who would be able to handle peace among the supernatural population. We could try to use this crisis as a starting point.

Aside from Dietrich, I knew that I wanted to have Riley, Landon, and Trevor on the council for the shifters, and I was bringing Crawford in for the warlocks. However, I wanted to have two representatives from each species. I wanted to have a male and female perspective of everything to make it a 'checks and balances' system. I wanted to make sure that everyone's opinions were viewed fairly and nothing overly misogynistic happened. This was a matriarchy after all, so women mattered a lot.

I wanted to get ideas from all of them on who should join the council with them. I called all of them to come and meet with me. I actually decided to do this the magical way as well; I just called them all mentally. I did get some grumblings, but not much, especially when they found out that it was important business.

Some of the conversations started like this one here.

'Trevor?' I spoke to him silently and waited for his response.

'Dammit! By the Goddess Trinity, that scared the shit out of me. This is the first time you've called me like this.'

'Yes, that is true. However, you knew it was a possibility.' I laughed in my head as I spoke to him, and I just knew he heard the laughter as well.

'Yeah well, knowing it can happen, and it actually happening are two completely different things.' I could hear a laugh from him now as well. 'What is it you actually need, oh great and powerful witch of Oz?'

'That's a good one.' I was laughing as I tried to think the words to him. 'I need to have a meeting, a really important one, and you're invited, oh great and brave lion.'

'OK, Dorothy, don't you dare confuse me with Landon, I am not a lion, I'm a bear.' These references were getting pretty funny.

'Yes, but when we meet the lion she does say lions and tigers and bears, oh my.' I did my best to remember, and I think I got that one right.

'Hey, don't mess up the classics. That scaredy cat scarecrow said lions and tigers and bears. Old D only said oh my.' I could tell that he was actually a fan of the movie.

'Oh my, I must have forgotten. Forgive me Mr. Bear.' I joked with him and waited for the laughter to leave his head. It was weird how I could hear it all.

'Alright, alright, what kind of important meeting is this?'

'I am building my kingdom and the council. The time has come.'

I could feel the seriousness that washed over him through the mental connection. After that, he promised to be there the next day. That was good, since everyone that I invited said they could be there the next day.

When they all did arrive, Reece and I were waiting for them outside. It was polite to greet your guests, right? OK, the truth was that we just wanted to see their reactions to the new house.

"What in the fucking hell?" Riley exclaimed as he got out of the car that he, Landon, and Trevor came in together. "What the hell happened here?"

"Where the hell is the estate? And when the fuck did you get a castle?" Landon looked just as shocked.

"Holy shit! Reece, I gotta change your dog name. This place is too fancy for the old one, I gotta call you, Fru Fru or Puffington."

"Fuck you, Trevor." Reece snapped at him. "Or I will call you Paddington because the little lost bear came all the way here from his backwoods home."

"Don't make fun of my woods, dude. They're awesome." Trevor smiled and joked back as another car was coming up the driveway, and behind that was one more.

"Well, this certainly is new." Dietrich laughed as he got out of his sleek car. "I dare say, this is bigger than my castle back in Germany."

"Holy, what the hell?" Shawn looked nervous. "Did I miss something?"

"No worries sweetheart. I am sure that Valerian helped them to build this place." Dietrich assured his mate.

"That he did." Reece smiled at him. "It happened way too fast."

The last car was Crawford, here to bring in the counsel of the magic users. It was just about time to get this meeting underway. He didn't say anything about the house, or castle, but his eyes showed that he was just as surprised as the others had been.

The group of them just followed us inside without any other words. We headed for my office, as it was the largest, even when compared to Reece's. That was where we were going to discuss all that had happened here at the castle, and what it was that we still needed to do.

Even though none of them said anything directly to us, I heard a few whispered words behind us.

"This place is massive."

"Dude! You need a car to drive in this place."

"Do you think they've even seen every room yet? I bet they will have dozens that they will never see no matter how long they live here."

We had seen them all, they just didn't know. I wanted to laugh, but I didn't.. We had just gotten to the elevator for the royal tower, in which were mine and Reece's offices and a few meeting rooms.
