Jane Shepard

Harold left right away wanting to print the picture of him and Vincent to brag about it to his colleagues that he drove around the First Emperor.

The group passed the old gate of Whiterun which Vincent touched for a while when Jacob says, "So you used to live in Whiterun."

"Yes, right now Titania's mother is living in my old house. I still have some family living here as well but we shouldn't disturb them while we get Kaidan and Tristan," says Vincent as he passed the old smith of Adrianne which was still a forge to his surprise even under the same name just in modern-day style.

A young woman was hitting the hot steel with her hammer while having a child running around her reminding him of Adrianne and Ulfberth and their children since they would also run around her.

They reached Breezehome when Titania knocked on the door when an older woman that looked like Titania opened the door while shouting, "Put your backs into it!"

She sees Titania and says, "You are back with your companions and my landlord."

"Nice to see you again, Mrs. Shepard. Do you have any complaints or why are you shouting around?" asks Vincent as the old district was still as before just the houses were more modern.

The city of Whiterun was now reaching the old watch outpost north of the city including the iron ore mine to the northwest of the city. Whiterun was not only the trade center and capital of Skyrim but also a mining city as was Dawnstar before them.

"Everything is fine with the house the problem is my future son-in-law and my son. Their mouths slipped out crucial information they were holding back from me," says Jane as she took her daughter in her arms before crying for a bit.

"So they mentioned that I was dead," says Titania as Jane nods while wiping her tears away.

"Don't you dare die before me, do you understand!? I will go to Sovngarde myself to punish you for doing so," says Jane as she adapted to Nord culture quite fast in those two years she was living between them.

Many Asari and Turians work in Whiterun as well and the pay is quite good even for a helping hand of a farmer since the Empire would give them a little pension if they exercised enough to pass as Militia when they were needed to fight an invasion back.

"Sovngarde, don't make me laugh. Those Milk Drinkers would most likely stand in front of Tsun and piss themselves in their pants if they are already scared of me," says Vincent joking about this matter.

"Maybe that would serve them as a lesson for leaving this old woman in the dark," says Jane agreeing with Vincent.

"Mother!" shouts Titania when suddenly a wooden soup spoon hits her head.

"You won't raise your voice against your mother, miss. Now enter the house before you receive a second one," says Jane holding the spoon in her hand as Titania entered the house holding her head before the others followed.

Vincent was the last to enter the room he could still recognize some parts of it and see some of his memories pass in front of his eyes.

"It feels almost like yesterday that I raised my oldest here with my wife," says Vincent as he walked to Lucia's and Sofie's former room.

He was having some flashbacks of seeing his daughters laying in their respective beds while Snow would lay beside Sofie when he looks at Kaidan and Tristan.

"So you are getting punished. I told you to inform her before we went to search for her body," says Vincent as Jane opened her eyes wide from hearing that.

"What did you say?" asks Jane as Vincent only smiled at her.

"Nothing, Ma'am," says Vincent as he avoided the question while sitting down.

"But we should move fast. The enemy isn't waiting for us patiently until we get to them," says Vincent as he looked at Titania who was fearful of her mother and her wooden weapon.

"A day or two won't be much. We will also need to go to Kvatch to recruit two more people," says Titania as she was holding two more contracts in her hand.

"Liara and Tali?" asks Vincent pretty sure about it.

"That's right, they came at a discount compared to you, General," says Jacob as Jane looked confused at Vincent.

"General?" asks Jane as she thought that Vincent was some rich person that doesn't care about the rent.

"That is a long story," says Vincent as he kept his facade up.

They stayed into the night before Vincent calls the number on the card Harold gave him. Vincent informed Harold that they will need a bigger car since they are now six instead of four.

Harold agrees and told them that a person they can trust will get them to their destination from where he left them.

"We should leave since we will be driving the whole night to get to Kvatch," says Vincent as Titania nods.

"He is right, every minute we waste here a colony could be under attack by one of the two parties we declared our enemies," says Miranda as she took her responsibility seriously.

"Now don't take it that seriously. The enemy sleeps as well," says Vincent as he walked towards the door while he says, "We should give them a moment alone so they can say goodbye."

"Alright," says Miranda as they leave the house leaving the family behind.

A moment later Titania, Tristan, and Kaidan left the house while Jane says, "Just make sure you return in one piece."

"Well then, Mrs. Shepard. I hope you enjoy your time in Whiterun," says Vincent as Jane smiles as the group leaves for the gate when Vincent hears.

"Of course my Emperor," says Jane bowing toward him which surprised him.

"Since when did you know about it?" asks Vincent as Jane smirks at him.

"The High King dropped by once to take care of the Frostbite Spiders in the attic. He apologized for that since normally the house would be empty since it belongs to the First Emperor," says Jane as Vincent smiles.

"It seems, the boy inherited the big mouth of the Nords. That is good since that means he can't keep secrets from his people," says Vincent as he looked at Dragonsreach.

"I will try my best to bring them back to you in one piece but I can't promise that. Maybe you should pray to Stendarr to give your children strength and shield them from evil," says Vincent as he leaves Jane's side to catch up with the group that was waiting for him.

They walk down the path after crossing the old gate finding a minibus waiting for them as they find a Dunmer leaning against it.

Vincent looked at the Dunmer and knew right away who he was since he was a Companion that joined the Companions while Aela was still alive.

"Athis, I never thought you would be a taxi driver now," says Vincent with a smile as Athis walks over to his side.

They hug each other as Athis says, "It has been a long time. You didn't come to the last reunion."

"I was in exile when the last reunion took place. You know that I wouldn't miss a pilgrimage to Ysgramor's Tomb to show our respect to him," says Vincent as Athis smiles when he notices the group behind him.

"So I have to chauffeur you around today," says Athis as he unlocked the doors.

"It seems so, but why are all the old Companions driving taxis around?" asks Vincent as he opened the door of the passenger seat.

They enter the car when Athis starts the engine while saying, "We old bones leave everything to the young guns but we also need something to do that isn't training the whole day. Then we decided to open a car service in Skyrim since we know our way around Skyrim from our adventures."

"Well, at least we are busy," says Vincent as Athis looked into the rear mirror.

"They are?" asks Athis curious since they were all humans not from the Empire.

"My contractors, our Ambassador sold me out to them," says Vincent which made Athis laugh knowing that he was talking about his son.

"How is the family by the way?" asks Athis as he is an old friend of the family.

"They are fine, I adopted two new children two years ago who are developing fine. I really have high hope for them," says Vincent as he has a smile on his face talking about them.

He then takes his phone out and shows Athis a picture of Ishly and Provus while Athis was driving towards Cyrodiil. The others were sleeping in the back as Vincent put his phone away.

"So you are helping them and leave everyone behind. It seems this mission is dangerous even for someone like you," says Athis as Vincent smiles while looking at the street.

"It is a suicide mission and who would be better than the man that can't die. I helped them before two years ago but now even I am scared of dying," says Vincent as the Taken King could perverse him making him a Taken like all the others in his command.

"Well, if you need help you can always count on everyone close to you," says Athis as he knew that Vincent has achieved more difficult things before.

"Yeah, I could use some help from them," says Vincent as he looked at the sky through the window.

"They are always with us and haven't you married one already. I would worry more about your companions than the support of your divine family," says Athis as he didn't trust the people sleeping behind him.

He was a Companion which is part of the Network and he saw the logo on their armor and clothes which represented Cerberus. For him, Cerberus was like the Thalmor a cancer that could be dangerous if it isn't attended to sooner.

"Three of them are just cooperating with Cerberus for now. The other two will need to earn my trust," says Vincent vouching for Titania and the other two.

Athis soon arrived at the border and crossed it when Vincent says, "To Kvatch I might as well replace my guns with newer models while being there."

"I still don't understand why you use guns while fighting," says Athis as the oldest and longest discussion in the Empire began the use of firearms.
