Rifts: Menelaus' death IV

Kallen watched the two Second Ascension ascendents battle, noting that Yula was gradually losing ground.

Although he could follow their movements with his Will, it was a little difficult to do so. However, that was only if he wasn't focused entirely on them... It was a different matter when he concentrated.

At the start, it had seemed like Menelaus was struggling with his sudden power surge, barely able to control the flood of strength running through him. As a result, he had been steadily losing to Yula.

After all, a sudden burst of power was more of a curse than a blessing when one couldn't adapt to it. Power without control was a liability.

But Menelaus was adapting fast. It was like watching someone go from barely average Second Ascension ascendent to a mediocre ascendent blessed with godlike power… and now, rapidly sharpening into an expert.
