(Doc) "Back then Aegis, I was a much different man. After my adoptive father died, I watched his family slowly die off too. As he had no blood related child to speak of. I watched the Jaghunds fade, and I was left to carry on that name. A bastard, hybrid dog abandoned in this world. I was alone after that." Marcus finds a nearby chair and takes a seat, setting his mug down next to him.

"I didn't care back then. Being alone is the same as being dead. Until the Baron of the time had a daughter. He tasked me to watch over her always, as she was the future of Zahmeria. From the child's first steps, to her first male suiter I was there. Within that time we became close, very close. So close in fact she saw me as a father. Then war broke out between Sonne and Mond. In an attempt to fix this, the Baron held a peace summit between the two kingdoms."

"Peace was a foolish dream. The meeting turned into an all out fight, the kings and their bodyguards drawing their swords. The Baron's daughter leapt into the middle of it hoping to stop the fight, but she ended up a victim of it. Several days later I was drowning myself in a tavern when the Baron summoned me. He ordered me to destroy Sonne and Mond for the death of his daughter, and so that their war would not engulf Zahmeria."

"In my own desire for satisfaction I didn't protest my orders. I carried them out efficiently and quickly. After that many years passed, eventually I met your aunt Samia and then your dad, my life changed from there. I didn't feel alone anymore. While I was working closely with your father bringing him raw materials he needed for his work, I ended up having my own kid and you know the rest. Aegis, there is no excuse for what I've done and no way to return what I took. Therefore you have every reason to be furious at me. But at least, at least I'm trying to make up for it all. I never told you or you're family because I didn't want to lose any of you."

"Regardless of how you feel in the end Aegis, you know I love ya and your sisters." Marcus rises out of the chair, grabs his mug of ale and begins walking back to the main hall, dumping out the rest of the beer on the ground as he leaves.
