CHAPTER 644

EARTH

THERMOPYLAE

TOMB OF KING LEONIDAS

Martin stepped into the dimly lit tomb of his father with the same reverence he always had when entering. The Illum globes grew brighter, revealing the gold and now Dragon Armor encased caskets of two individuals. Martin stood in the entrance for a long moment and stared at the caskets. The one on the left was of the man who had set him on the path of discovery so long ago, and who now rested beside his father as Martin had sworn to him that he would. The man whose name his son wore proudly.

The casket on the right… Martin would never forget.
