The Juntan forces were retreating... and Everlast couldn't believe what just happened. There was no battle, there was no one else... he was alone in a void of darkness, frozen in time. He couldn't believe what had just transpired. Had he really done what he thought he did? Perhaps there was another man with the same last name... but he didn't believe that... He couldn't. No deep in his heart, Everlast knew that his fears were the truth. He had come here to avenge the death of his father... and instead killed him himself.

The forces from Sall were beginning to assemble for their trip back to their homeland. The talk amongst the troops was the daring attack on the enemy general by Riminix Darthil. It seemed as if he just appeared back in Sall.... Everlast truly didnt remember the trip back. It may have take hours, it may have taken days... he was lost in time. He looked lifeless, like his soul had left him.

When they arrived back at the capital, Lord Kalum wanted to meet the soldier who had finally rid him of the thorn that had been in his side for 17 years.. Everlast was escorted into Lord Kalum's hall, Kalum sitting at the end of it on his throne. The lord stood up and began walking towards him and it was then that Everlast finally shook off the void. He knew where he was, why he was here, and now he was here to do what he came to do. Lord Kalum proceeding to tell Everlast the story, that Relaford Markasis had become a traitor and fled his land, defecting to the Juntan forces. He had served them as one of their best generals and their strategist ever since. Everlast however knew the truth, he was lucky to escape with his life. He had probably been serving the Juntan forces in an attempt to destroy the Sall kingdom and be able to search for his wife without fear of them being hunted. But Everlast, his own son, had ended that mission... and right now was going to atone for his sins, and sever the source of the evil.

The hate and fire raged in his eyes as he looked at Kalum, "Kalum...." the lord seemed annoyed by the lack of respect in him being addressed, but had little time to say anything about it, "I am Everlast Relaford Riminix Markasis.... son to Relaford Markasis, son to Melana Markasis, and avenger of both." a look of fear spread across Kalum's face as he began to stumble back. "I am the protector of light, it is at your hands that this fate has been spun, it is because of you that my father and mother are dead. And it is because of you, that I must kill again. I will never forgive myself, and I will never forgive you" His sword left his side and flew through the air, severing the head from Kalum's shoulders. As his foe's body slumped to the ground, he collapsed to his knees. His hands rushed to his face dropping his sword to the ground as tears streamed down his face.

The doors to the grand hall flew open behind him and from the sounds of the running footsteps, Everlast estimated there were four guards. His hand went for the hilt of his sword and he stood as he turned slicing through one of the four. His other arm snapped the neck of the second as he threw the seconds body into the third and stabbed the fourth through the chest. The third guard pushed the body off of him and tried to stand up before getting cut down himself.

Everlast fled the kingdom, much as his parents had 17 years earlier... he had done what he came here to do. And would need much time to try to repair the wounds left from his sins. The monestary was his home, its now all he had left... and it's where he headed.
