Yeah, Calisto is the Power that is up and around now. I think Artemis/Vision Girl is rising, and of course, she is really pulling Calisto's strings as well, no matter how much Calisto may not want that to be. I think that the ennui she had, which has clearly faded with siring her kid, was part of Artemis' plan for her to sire another childe to use as a tool for whatever VG has in mind. I think it is clear that the MC needs the freedom to develop without Marcius hounding him, but I think Marcius is truly small potatoes here. Whatever is going on is bigger than the city. Calisto already demonstrated her ability to force the Princeps to do her bidding in making lowly Sharon an Archon. So what the real game is......? That is a good question.For starters the reason Calisto got Sharon Archon status was so that MC and her could get out from under Marcuis's thumb. From Calisto's perspective MC can't develop further or entertain her if he's constantly under the rule from some wanna be tyrant who also has it out for Sharon.
As for her assuming that MC would take advantage of Sharon, it's pretty obvious why. You don't live as long she does or any other elder in their world without prioritizing yourself and using others for your own benefit. For Calisto to hear MC tell her that he no intentions of just using Sharon comes as a slight shock to her.
She's already incredibly powerful (if MC's abilities and powers are anything to go by) and influential. She doesn't need any ally of hers in a position of power when she herself IS the power. We see cute little Cindy in Marcuis's throne room during the gangs return from Scottstown and Fabian walk in with Virgil who had baldie shitting bricks with his mere presence.
I think the entertainment angle will soon be dispelled though. I think even Calisto might have fully been manipulated to embrace the MC by Artemis both to kick start Calisto, and to make a new weapon in their night wars.....Even if the MC does provide entertainment in the short term......
Have a good night all
Peace
