But than again perhaps trying to covert one of the Guardians into your 2nd isn't the best move at this stage. But luck is on your side as you think you've found the perfect person to help you in

1. Elyon Brown - Who unknown to her is the Missing Princess of Meridian and it's rightful ruler as well. She has tons of raw magical power she's only just now started to tap into, with proper guidance and tutelage she'll become a real threat.

The perfect time to strike and summon is during the events of Parents Night, before Cedric and by extension Phobos can get her. Than you can show how manipulation is truly done, where you'll reveal to Elyon the truth about her heritage, her brother, and meridians current state.

While also adding your own twists like twisting Kandrakar into the cruel dominant power in this section of the Multiverse, and her friends the current Guardians their poor unwitting pawns/weapons. Maybe use the previous generations of guardians as a example of what could happen to them if they start thinking for themselves too much or questioning orders.

Than you can manipulate her into not only helping you but also one day free not just her world from the madness of her brother, but also the tyranny of Kandrakar.

1. the spider shapeshifter Miranda - Now here's someone with experience in being a minion, and would be more willingly to follow not only for freedom but power. Where before Nerissa can free her in "A is for Anonymous" you could free her instead by summoning her to your lair.

Though there's a chance that her cell might be magically protected to prevent something like that happening. If so you'll have to go there in person to free her, but it would be a good way to make a good impression on your future 2nd.

1. Astral Will - Oh well now this is a interesting subject who you can easily sway to join you after helping her. She started a mere copy or Astral Drop of the leader of the Guardians Will, intended to keep Will's cover while on Guardian missions. But Nerissa's interference changed her into a Altermere a true thinking sentient being.

But things soon ended in tragedy with Astral Will taking a killing blow and saving the original Will's life. Than ended up merging with her original in the end. But you can still sense some of Astral Will very being in Will and can use your power to revive her and summon her here.
