"Hahahaha! I didn't say I wasn't going to protect my country Cynd, I'm just going to give my title and responsibilities to someone else. I have a few candidates in mind to take my place. I'll still answer the call if I'm truly needed, but I'd like to relax for once. Cynd, I've been Zahmeria's protector for more than a thousand years. I can't tell you how many Barons have come and gone in my tenure, or how many times I've laid waste to a pack of bandits." Marcus steps forward, closing the small distance Cyndwella put between them.

"I'm tired Cynd, I want to spend my days now enjoying myself. Sure I'll take some contracts here and there from Baku just to keep my skills sharp, but I'd prefer now to sleep in well after noon, holding you and Samia in my arms. I want to sit on a porch with my feet propped up as I enjoy a fine cigar and good whiskey, waiting for Ibrahim to show up. I want to lounge in a hot bath with the women I love. Most of all, I want to finally be there for my daughters at all times." Marcus takes Cyndwella's hand.

"I've earned a break Cynd, I'm done running off to do dirty jobs and being away from home. Now I want to spend my days being there for my girls. That's why I'm also going to leave Zahmeria and stay with you here. I'll help you build Lunalight back up and make it better than before. With my Spirit energy and Samia's Demonic Energy, you have all the power you'll ever need. With me and Samia feeding you our energies, you'll still be the baddest girl around."

"Don't worry about the Jaghund estate, it will go to my successor. The Jaghunds were the greatest Monster Hunters in history, so long as a warrior on noble stock is living there and protecting the country, they'll rest peacefully. It's time for me to be a man of my choosing, and choose to be the man at your side. Cynd, I'm giving myself to you, if you'll have me...." Marcus takes Cyndwella's other hand. Samia in the background has a beaming smile as she wipes away her tears.
