Dar grinned. "Good. Then let us be off." The submarines departed, leaving Atlantis empty and cold. Its citizens now belonged to Dar, as workers and soldiers. They were leaving their home behind, heading for a world they had never known, the surface. They had been assured that they were members of this new world, that they were important, and that they had a vital mission there. They had met a saint who had healed their wounds, and had cared genuinely for their well being.
But that Dar was dead. He had died with Priscilla. The Dar that took them away from their homes was a different man, one with endless ambition and little empathy.
There were dark days ahead, for the Atlanteans, and for the rest of the world. Dar chuckled at the thought.
The end.
OOC: Thanks for a great thread.
