Dubs had slept through the day, in preparation to be fully rested for the big night. There was one thing that concerned him, however.
"What does this Elven Queen really want from me? Is her goal as she said, to assist me in the creation of my empire? If she truly has the gift of prophesy, then she would be able to foresee how great my empire is..."
"The possibility of being used exists, however the possibility of staging a false escape is low, as there seems to be no benefit to her, aside from the fact that the surfacers may grow impatient and kill me and my subordinates."

"What if my death means something to her? What if she is indeed a person who needs to be cleansed from this world, and she is working to stop that from happening?"
"I suppose I'll cross that bridge when I get there."
Dubs waited patiently, and soon enough 2 am arrived. Footsteps were heard down the hallway, as someone approached the door.
It was a female, covered from head to toe in armor, with a yellow feather on her helmet.
"A Lieutenant eh?", Dubs thought.
She removed the helmet, to reveal long flowing blonde hair that fell out, and beautiful blue eyes. Her ears were excessively long and pointed, and she looked at Dubs with kindness as she spoke.
"Hello, Dubs. I am the Elven Queen."
"As I expected. What is your plan?"
"My soldiers are all in position, and there are no soldiers of any other squad assigned to the prison currently. We can free your comrades and meet up as planned. "
The woman closed her eyes and a white flow of energy connected itself to the mind of Dubs, and it also flowed downwards into the ground.
"You may speak to your comrades.", Rilia stated.
Dubs spoke.
"This is your Lord, Dubs. Are all my subjects being treated fairly?"
A flow of voices were hears.
"Lord Dubs!", the knights exclaimed.
"What is going on, my Lord?", Drocai asked.
"Listen carefully, my comrades. I apologize for the selfishness that I have indulged in over the past few days. I ask you to continue to bear with it until we can make our way home. Right now, there should be some guards who will let you out of the chambers, and they will be joining our empire today. Please escape and meet me at the bottom of the tower. From there, we will make our way through the city, trying to avoid any powerful enemies. Once we have escaped, we will take the proper measures to avoid aggravating the surfacers for the time being, however the primary goal for right now is the safety of you all. Is this understood?"
"Yes, Lord Dubs!", everyone replied.
"Reagan, are you alright?", Dubs asked.
"I am fine... I will be much better when I see you again though..."
"Well then, let the escape plan commence."
