Darien opened his eyes, his mind spinning with the words that had been spoken just moments prior. It was insane. If he hadn't personally experienced it, he would never believe that it was even possible. 

At first when he had awoken, he remained silent and still. He assumed that while he was asleep, someone had kidnapped him. Of course now he knew that honestly something similar was indeed the case, but that is beside the point. He had chosen to observe the situation, taking in the appearances and actions of those around him. He needed to know more before he made any decisions, and if it really was the case that they would be killing one another, then he should remain vigilant. They likely wouldn't have paid much attention to him not moving. Just giving him a passive glance. But he studied them through barely open eyelids. Inscribing their faces into his mind. They asked their questions. Some more. . . . pertinent than others. This was important. It may be easier to associate with some of them than others. 

And so it passed. He awoke once more inside his room. He stood, looking outside his residence at the fringe of the town center, he saw the sky tinted such a strange color. Looks like it was actually real. Well, that is both unfortunate as well as fortunate. To be honest, the chance that he would die. . . .really sucked. But. If it all worked out and he ended up winning, then it would likely result in explosive growth in his plan to control it all. Instead of decades it may take years. . . or even just months. Excellent. 

But now was not the time to go fight random battles. Instead, Darien moved around his personal housing complex as it were. Testing and experimenting with his power. If he didn't know exactly how it worked, then he wouldn't know how it would be best used. It was unlikely that the others would all make the same decision that he had, so he would. They would fight, and he would use that.

And so he waited. And he thought. And he planned.
