”So this is the power that the surfacers have tapped into...”, Reginald stated.

”I could never even dream of this.”

”Worry not, comrades!”, Dubs shouted back to them. ”I will soon surpass even this man woth science and research!”

Marcus laughed. ”Ahaha! You are certainly interesting, and excessively overestimating yourself. Let me ask you now. Where did you obtain that dagger?”

”I was given this dagger. I was told that it belonged to my father, who was executed by the empire for treason.”

A grin came across Marcus' face. ”You're father was once a surfacer. He turned his back on us, but one cannot deny their roots. You too are his son then- and the grandson of the man next to me, Gregory Ruffield. I will give you a choice.”

Dubs seemed suspicious but listened.

”I will welcome you home as one of us, if you pledge your loyalty to the surfacers guild. We will allow your subordinates as well to become members of the guild, and to live here as a part of the surfacers.”

Dubs cringed at this. ”To give in to this demand would be to accept the corrupted higherarchy, and to become a part of it.”, he responded.

”If you refuse, I will simply kill off you and all your subordinates.” Marcus waved his hand and cast a [Message] spell.

”Captain Johannes, take away the men in the throne room to the prison.”

Turning towards Dubs, Marcus stated ”I will give you three days to reconsider your decision. Decide wisely. Do not try to resist arrest, or I will slaughter you all here and now.”
