Finally, Maelstrom broke the silence, his tone now devoid of its usual hint of sarcasm. "Impressive, woman of the descendragon race. You have unraveled my trick with admirable perspicacity. Not many can see through my illusions so quickly."
Og'tharoz relaxed slightly with a satisfied smile forming on his lips. "It seems we can see through your game, Maelstrom."
Maelstrom made a gesture with his hand and the illusion dissipated, revealing that the coin really was in the hand of the clone next to the group. "You've passed the second challenge," he admitted, the coin disappearing from his hand in a flash of light. "But don't think it's over. The next test will be the hardest of all."
Kaizen stepped forward, his eyes shining with determination. "We're ready for anything you throw our way, Maelstrom. We're not giving up now."
