Episode75(S2-18):HEROES & KNIGHTS

Rainizard Mayor Marklo Rubins was alone in his office at his official residence, lost in thought. Repeated invasions of Hexenbiest depleted the town's defenses. Luckily, Hero and Deviant stood as a mighty defense force to keep the peace on thin ice. Then a new enemy emerged, even stronger than Hero, and the future of this new enemy was a dark cloud that swirled in the minds of many.

Marklo looks down in the dimly lit room and wonders what is going on. Even the paperwork was too much for him to take seriously. The weariness of his mind inhibited his ability to think and judge, and the parchment piled up on top of him seemed to stare at him resentfully.

He pulls a cigar out of a drawer, looking as if he can't stand to be there. He cuts the tip with a cigar cutter with a practiced hand. He lights a match and sears the cut surface, then puts the other side in his mouth while staring at the faint smoke rising from it.
