Hunger For Power

Adrian watched the destruction below with a mixture of disbelief and awe. He muttered:

"I can't believe this is working. They're actually killing each other."

Klaus gave a humorless grin. "Told you it was easy."

"I didn't say I believed you. But still, this is incredible. I didn't know mind control could be this useful. It's a little scary though."

Seraphim, standing guard behind them, spoke quietly.

"How long do we have before they realize?"

Morgan's voice came again, breathless now.

"Not long. Maybe a few more minutes before the spell fractures. I can feel the edges fraying.

Klaus nodded.

"Alright. Let's move now. Morgan, keep that thing busy and keep them distracted."

"Understood."
