Summary
Puck sided with a human against Oberon. He fought to keep the child away from Oberon. And between that and his refusal to attend the Gathering when summoned, Puck’s actions demonstrated a complete betrayal of their lord and ruler. He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Oberon no longer commanded him, his obedience, his devotion, or his fealty. His loyalty now belonged firmly to a human by the name of David Xanatos.
The child should have been brought back to Avalon and Puck’s life should have been forfeit. That was Oberon’s right as ruler.
But a deal was struck instead. Alexander would be raised by his parents and tutored in magic while in the outside world. And while Puck would teach and protect the child, he would be thoroughly punished for his betrayal. He'd chosen the humans and the existence that he’d forged there while adopting a human identity over obedience and his home in Avalon? Then outside his lessons and protecting the child, Puck would be completely stripped of his magic and bound in that mortal shape.
With a mortal shape came mortal vulnerabilities. And a loophole that another trickster could use.
