"I'm telling you, it works." Jorl paced around the throne in a frenzy. "Orpal's plan can work. He has everything he needs to succeed. His tower evens out Dawn's, his mass eclipses Acala, and Life Maelstrom more than makes up for the gap in their mana cores.
"Once you factor in that Orpal is going to gang up on Dawn and exploit Dusk's abilities to neutralize her best cards, you can see that unless Dawn has a few more cards up her sleeve or Baba Yaga comes to her rescue, she has little chance of victory."
"If none at all." The Black Throne's raspy voice sounded smug. "Yes, the Dead King came up with a good plan. One that for once isn't based on boastful words and wishful thinking. I agree with your assessment.
"There are several unknown variables, but unless this is Baba Yaga's scheme, Orpal can pull it off. He can absorb Night's last sibling and become one of the most powerful beings on Mogar despite his many faults."
