It was roughly three years after the death of Berengar's parents that he received a call from an old friend. The mighty Austrian General who was paramount to Berengar's early success in the field of battle, and a current King of Prussia, Eckhard von Marienburg, was on his death's bed.
Age had finally caught up with the man, and while the reaper was near, his family gathered by his side. But it was neither his sons, nor wives, who he wanted to speak to in his final hour. But a man who he had helped build the world's Greatest Empire.
After receiving the call from Eckhard, Berengar took his private jet and flew all the way to Marienburg, where he entered the medieval fortress, and found his old friend lying in bed. The years had finally caught up to Eckhard, and he was even older, and frailer than that time when he and Berengar were playing a game of chess in the royal gardens.
