Marten wants to be a hero... sort of. He is good, noble, upright... y'know - "heroic." But it's not like he throws himself into fights that are beyond him or anything. He isn't about to pick a fight with an army, or tangle with a Primal. He's an adventurer, not an idiot.
Each man longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind. In this world, is man ever able to possess anything more solid, than a dream?
