"Everyone, watch out! They can use mind control!"
Lariel shouted as his eyes swept over everyone.
"He tried to take over his mind before he attempted to self-destruct!" He pointed at Soren and then at the unconscious elf. "We need to check everyone! Right now!"
Everyone in the room stiffened, their expressions shifting from shock to wariness as they sized each other up. The guards reached for their weapons, and even the elves began to eye one another with fresh suspicion. The knight, having managed to stop the elf from self-destructing, rose to his feet.
"Calm down." He muttered. "We are already in my domain. Everything is under control."
"Oh, really?"
A cynical laugh broke out from one of the humans watching near the wall. Before the man could even blink, the knight vanished from the center of the room and reappeared directly beside him, driving a light elbow into his chest. The human collapsed instantly, unconscious before his body hit the floor.
