In the quiet of his private quarters, Marcus Winchester prepared for what he knew would be his final mission in the field. The room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft rustling of gear being assembled. His decision was made. He believed in Jane more than anyone and was confident she would succeed in Darkhaven. Now, it was time to tie up some loose ends and end his tenure with a bang before he joined the Assembly.
Marcus moved with practiced precision, his hands deftly arranging his gear. First, he picked up his trusty rapier, its blade gleaming even in the low light. The weapon had been his companion through countless battles, and it felt like an extension of himself. He gave it a few experimental swings, feeling the familiar weight and balance.
