The Adventures of the
God Squad
Episode 48 "Greed and Punishment"
Part 1
Over the years, our treasury had grown to an unbelievable size and we were able to pay for or fund basically anything that we wanted, but it always worried my about the constant growth of the money, that something bad might happen, if it got too big.
Theme Song
While I lived on the Surface, my favorite book and movie series of all time were the Lord of the Rings series and also the Hobbit book was my second favorite book of all time. I always adored the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, but it was the Hobbit book that really got me worried, because what happened, were that the Dwarf's king mined too much gold and soon the famous dragon Smaug came and stole it all and almost destroyed and took over their home. My home was also in rock and I had great treasury of gold, coins and jewels and since there were still many secrets of Slugterra that were still not figured out or even known, but every time I thought about it, I became more and more worried that perhaps what happened to the Dwarves of Erebor; might happen to us! I told my wife about my concern, but she told me "Yvan, your just imagining this, but if you're really worried about this, then maybe you should stop the mining production, or move the new mined gold and valuables to another location." I thanked Anna for her advice, she was usually the only one who could calm me down in this sort of state of mind (just to show how much I loved and trusted her as my wife).
I called for the mining to stop until we could find another location to put the new gold and jewels. Another thing that worried was another superstition from my favorite book series was another creature. Another problem which happened to the dwarves, but that time that dwarves of Moria who dug to deep and awoke a powerful beast called the Balrog of Morgoth which was a beast of fire and a head of a lion and a fire sword and whip. The reason why they woke it up, was because their mining went too deep and they released it from the shadows. I began to worry again that maybe we should stop mining in my palace forever because since I came to Slugterra, we had dug over 400ft under the surface of Slugterra, which seemed deep enough for me. I moved my workers to the mines that I gave my children so they wouldn't lose their jobs. I went downstairs to my treasury with my wife and said "Is this really worth losing our home and facility? Is all this wealth and money really worth the home which has been passed down by all my ancestors?" I asked. "What do you mean?" Anna asked confused. I began to explain my second worry and I began to tell her about the books.
"Sweetie, your taking this way too far, I know that this is not exactly a normal place, but do you really think that a dragon and fire creature will come here just because we're fabulously rich?" she asked. "After seeing that dinosaur that Bite brought from the caverns of time, I'll believe in anything!" I said worried. "Yvan, do you trust me?" Anna asked. "Anna what kind of question is that? You know I would trust you with my life and everything I have." I said smiling. "Then you can trust me that nothing like that will happen. Maybe someday some creature might come and try to conquer us, but I know that we will be able to repel it, no matter what it is. And besides, if we do need help, we can call the Misfits to help us." She said. We gave each other a tight hug and gave her a kiss on her head. "Anna I could ask or even wish for a better wife than you. Truly our meeting was gift from God Himself." I told her. A huge smile came Anna's face and she began to laugh. "Always so charming and loving" she said.
The next thing I remember, I was stabbed by a knife and soon was knocked out by a sleeping dart. I woke up, tied to a chair in the middle of a room with a bright light shining over me. A table was also in front of me "Hello? Is anyone out there?" I asked. Out of the shadows came out a figure and sat down at the table. Once he was close enough, I recognized who it was. "I thought you were dead?!" I exclaimed. "No Yvan, I'm very alive, but soon you won't be. And thanks to the service to your wife Anna, now we began to discuss you fate and Slugterra's fate." The person said evilly as Anna came from the shadows and hugged the figure.
