The night was a long one for not just Scarlet and Esong but also for Carolyn and Markay. He was a mecha warrior too, a part of Esong's army and he was to return to the capital. He could have been given a stay order if he desired not to serve this time round because he was royalty but even then, he would be recalled to the capital which was the most secure place in the empire. Their parting was as inevitable as that of Scarlet and Esong.

For them, it was a sleepless night with Markay voicing many declarations to his weeping girlfriend.

"I will return baby, I swear, I will." He promised her aloud and himself in his heart.

"Boohoooo!!!" Carolyn beat her fist slowly against his chest and she wailed.

"It will be okay, I am the prince of the death, I will not die, how can death take one of it's own?" He forced her to look at him, into his eyes and he wiped away her tears with the hands of his long shirt. But no matter how many times he wiped, his Carolyn would not stop crying. "Baby, you should be kissing me right now. You will not see your honey for four months at least. We should be enjoying our last night together. How about this, let's make a baby tonight?"

His foolish words quickly quietened her sobs and she glared at him. "Are you crazy?" She asked, wiping away her own tears now.

"See, it got you to stop crying." He laughed, "Now, let's enjoy the last few hours of our time together as intimately as we can. Starting with you accepting these jewels from me."

He presented her with a set of rings, all with different designs and colors. They were expensive, her eye was good at picking out the best crafting materials and these were premium quality. "I also got a gold set from the ones your sister sells. I will bring other good things when I return. I told my mother to prepare them all in advance."

She presented her hand to him, bearing her fingers before him. "Mmm." She said.

"Mmm what?" He asked.

"Put them on." She rolled her eyes in frustration, wondering if her body language could not be any more obvious. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

As Markay slipped the rings on, he smiled with mischief and said, "Baby, if we can't make a baby tonight, maybe we should get engaged."

She glared at him and beat his shoulder, "This is not my proposal story, I will not be telling our children that it was either a ring or a baby."

"Will you miss me when I am gone?" Esong surprised his son with this question. Wasn't this the being brave time? Justin asked himself.

"I will miss you." Esong added, and he hugged Justin. "Take care of yourself son."

And just like that, the flood gates open and the young cadet broke down into tears.

They were all standing at the foot of the space ship which was ready to fly them back to the capital. The last of the supplies had been loaded up and all the other men had boarded, only Esong was left.

Well wishers and fans of the general were standing behind the barrier of the space ship landing port, waving the empire's flag and screaming for him to travel and return safely.

Even Fion the Buddhist priest was here and he had blessed all the men and personally tied the pendants around their necks before the warriors boarded. He was chanting prayers for well wishes and blessings.

On this day, reporter Jelly was not just live on the blue star alone, BSTV was being watched by hundreds of millions of people that were waiting for the mecha king to command the armies which would protect them.

"What you are witnessing right now is a touching moment of sad parting between the mecha king general Esong Wu and his family. His son, is clearly very heart broken and so are we. The coming three months are going to be hard and trying times and all we can do is pray for our mecha warriors and ourselves." Reporter Jelly resisted the urge to cry as she reported the news.

Esong handed Justin back to Scarlet and he said to her, "I guess, this is goodbye for now."

"For now." She said softly.

"Goodbye sister-in-law." Ian shouted and waved from a window in the space ship.

"We will miss you." Cedric added.

"I love you older sister Carolyn." Markay shouted as well, in a manner as dignified as he could muster.

She would glare but she just sent a flying kiss to him. It was okay to be older sister today.
