The Phantom Chronicles

As SiM left, he then turned around to see that Markus had him captive and he had freed End along with kidnapping Forten and Melissa but Melissa then looked all confused as if she didn't know where she was and then she remembered what had happened, "Wait a second, that bratty queen doesn't even have control of me ... where is that repugnant slime?" End then replied, "We can worry about that later but for now let's get out if here." End, Markus, SiM and Melissa then left with Forten as their prisoner and as they were outside of the warehouse.

As they left, Markus revealed himself if who he really was, it turned out that Markus was the one that set up the whole Riddle thing and the reason was to .. to see if he was desperate to even go home but when realising that he wanted to stay made him wanted to stop the hunt. "When I realized that you still was doing the whole thing ... I knew that I couldn't have given it to you without a fight and that was considered a bit fun and I don't really want to talk about it because I don't really know what to be saying right now but all I can say is ... good job on going this far."

End then told Luan to rendevous with the others somewhere near Melissa's apartment since Aiden, Tun, Alicia, Amy and Anna were going back to Antroia while Sera, Edzy and End were planning to spend their lives in the Chronicle Era, Markus then handed End the Phantom Chronicles and he told Amy and Anna to touch the book and think of the place they wanted to go, "Looks like she was right, Amy and Anna really are the key to the Chronicles."
