In the Underside, the main forces of Raze's allies waited in tense silence.
The broadcast was set to go live at any moment, news that would reach the entire world, but as they waited, the Underside was already beginning to change.
Many of the mages who had been cured and saved from the Cerebus experiments had chosen to stay. Some joined the Dark Guild, offering their strength to help take down the Grand Magus. Others aligned themselves with Alen and his military personnel, seeking to rebuild what had been broken.
It almost felt like a recruitment center, two forces growing side by side, both fighting for the same cause but through different paths.
Raze even noticed people walking between the two sides, speaking with both the Dark Guild and the military before deciding where they belonged.
Their combined strength was rising, and every new recruit burned with the same goal, revenge.
