“Nothing more to say?” Aleric smirks. “You barely contributed any dialogue sense my emergence, and nearly just as little when Armata was amongst the waking. It would be very amusing for me to see you embroiled politics. Endless debates that occupation. I suggest you count yourself lucky, many others did not fair as well you.”

Aleric gestures his head to noticeable blood trail he left behind. The new one follows the trail, leading all the way to the throneroom. Aleric steps into view of the room, several guards and nurses scurry about to spread word of the group’s return and to tend to Marcus who could barely stand now.

It isn’t long before others come to see as the word gets spread about. Soon Roda, Imperia, Layoka and Marcus’ family show up. Marcus is immediately engulfed by his family, Cyndwella and Samia pushing through the crowds up to their husbands, Eva and Rinzel hangback as they hold onto the children.

“MARCUS!” Cyndwella and Samia shout together as he come into view. Both wrap themselves around him even though Marcus groans in pain.

“Cynd, Sam, gently it hurts.” He struggles to say.

“Oh Marcus.” Samia kisses his cheek and smiles. “You all saved the world.”

Cyndwella then punches his shoulder, cause Marcus to yelp in pain. “You are officially retired from this god fighting crap!” The Wisp shouts. “Eva, Rin bring the girls here, Marcus is back and he’s fine.”

“Oh I don’t feel fine, Cynd. Feel like I pissed off a Dragon, went 48!rounds with that Dragon, beat her, watched her become a Zombie Dragon, and then go 48 more rounds.” Marcus protests.

“You’ll be fine.” Cyndwella waves her hand dismissively.

Eva and Rinzel both drop to their knees next to the battered man they love. Rinzel runs her fingers through Marcus’ raven colored hair now sullied by dried and still wet blood. His body and coat equally sullied.

“Papa?” Roxanne leans in and grabs her father’s hand, while Heide likes some of the blood from his cheek.

“Hey, theres my girls. Where’s the other one?” Marcus looks up.

There in Rinzel’s arms was Sapphire, kicking and impatient, ready to see her father.

“There’s the blue lantern I adore....” Marcus passes out with a smile on his face, as the medical staff work hard to get the sword from his back and haul him off for treatment.
