I studied the surveillance footage to see everyone gazing blankly at nothing. You won't recite any passage. And neither do you want assistance from the Faeries. Oh, and you're going to let us walk out of here.
I held the spell for five minutes without knowing whether it had worked, but there was only one way to find out. The second I stopped channelling the magic, everybody stared around in confusion, everyone but Cali. It wasn't a surprise to me, though. I knew it wouldn't have worked on anyone inside my faction since I already exercised such control over them.
Cali appeared torn between fear and awe. It couldn't have been that easy. So, how long do we wait?
I shrugged. We'd have been thrust into the Kingdom of Mirrors if it had worked, so now, these people will start to question the Faeries' skills. I hope.
