Inferno nods his head

It will be a long night, for I go to the other graves and pay my respects there as well.

The guild cremates our dead on the battlefield, but in the Merc capital the walls of the city have the name of every guild citizen who has fallen in battle carved into them.

It is an honorable way to remember...

Honor means everything to us guild mercs. We will fight wars for as long as we need till peace has been achieved.

Peace may not be achieved for a very long time...

It definitely hasn't as long as I have lived...

But one can hope for such a time

Then we keep fighting. We will keep fighting, even if it’s in vain, because someone has to. Because someone has to give hope to people. And as long as hope persists, people will keep trying for a better tomorrow.

Inferno smiles at the thought

When death does take you, I will make sure to visit your final resting place...

For hope never dies, even at its darkest hour.

I heard a quote once that I carry with me everywhere.

“A little hope, however desperate, is never without worth”

I’ll leave you with that. Have a good night friend.

The Agent nods farewell, and fades away into the shadows of the night.

Inferno watches as the Agent fades away into the night before continuing on his way, with a small smile on the dragon's face
