Mercenary

Dubs decided calmly to allow himself to be arrested.

"I refuse to give in to the demands of these men. They are wicked, and deserve no sympathy or cooperation from me. However, given that they are leaps and bounds more powerful than I am, I have no choice but to be arrested and to come up with a plan over the next three days.", Dubs decided.

Dubs raised his arms as the guard from before with the red feather took him into custody.

The subordinates of Dubs watched as he was taken away silently, and soon after they were taken away as well.

"Treat these ones well for the time being", Marcus ordered to the knights who were arresting the subordinates of Dubs.

"The son of Frederic holds within him a great power to learn... he will prove to be an extremely useful pawn if we can convince him to join us. If we cannot, we lose out on a great opportunity."

The knights saluted and proceeded to take the rest of the captives away.

During the days that Dubs had been training, the members of the resistance had also been working hard to gain new skills. Lilith, Drodus, Tirian, and Samuel had all become adept magicians- powerful enough to take on a middle ranked knight of the empire.

Drodus had improved his ability to use air magic to enhance his flame spells, and Lilith had made progress on healing spells. She wasn't able to heal major wounds yet, however she was able to immediately heal small cuts, and over time she could treat larger wounds.

Tirian had mastered a unique form of water spells- draining spells. He could control the water in the body of a living being and manipulate it. If he extracted the particles from a living being, the creature would dry out and cease to live. This was a very dangerous style of magic, and could only be used if one had perfect control over their magic, else they risk draining themselves or nearby allies.

Samuel had focused on increasing the power of his spells. He could now perform the [Earthquake] spell, which, as it sounds, extracts a huge amount of earth particles from the ground at a rapid rate, causing an earthquake.

Samuel was driven by his will to defeat Dubs, who had left on a long term journey mysteriously.

Elsewhere, at the mine where the dwarves were stationed, they became concerned now that a day had passed and Drocai and Drocar had still not returned.

The digging of the mine was progressing smoothly, and they were almost deep enough to reach the rock layer, however without their leader or Reginald to back them up they became uneasy.

"I hope nothing has happened with Lord Dubs. He is a kind lord, however he has an odd personality...", one of the dwarves stated.

"Do not speak such blasphemy! If anything has happened, it is certainly not that Lord Dubs has turned his back on us. We must continue working here in good faith that soon our chief will return safely.", another replied.

With this, the dwarves all continued to work hard.

Back in the prison, Dubs was locked in a cell and left alone, with the guard standing far down the hall.

"What is your plan, Dubs?", Alt asked.
