It took a whole year for Vincent to clean the Deep Roads of Darkspawn as he found where the Dwemer were living. They were living beside a giant vein of Lyrium that they called the Heart.
They explained that they were right now inside of a Titan and that the giant vein that was visible to everyone was the heart of said Titan.
Vincent was confused about it as he told the Dwemer to better stay in Thedas since they didn't want to return to Tamriel.
After that, they returned to the surface after meeting the current King Harrowmont and taking what was theirs.
Back on the surface, Vyrve was dealing with some little Rebellions here and there in Orlais while Celene was losing her head because of what Vlad told her.
Nevarra was quite calm as well as Anderfels. Tevinter was one of its own as all they did was discuss making Briin regret being stationed there.
Rivain was flourishing at the moment while the Free Marches had one or two rebellion as well but they were put down swiftly.
Ferelden joined the Empire under Alistair's reign as many thought that this would be the end of Ferelden only to find out that Ferelden was doing quite well with everyone that was in charge still being in charge if they adapted to the Empire's laws.
The Couslands were still in charge of the Teyrn of Highever while Alistair was King and Anora the Teyrn of Gwaren showing that as long as they followed the laws they would still be in charge of their land.
This went on for six years as the Empire left Thedas almost completely while Vincent had a Dalish woman named Ellana Lavellan, a woman from Ostwick named Evelyn Trevelyan, a Dwarf named Malika Aeducan she was the niece of the former King Endrin Aeducan. The daughter of King Johann the Great she was named Catrin.
Tevinter sent a woman named Francesca Invidus she seemed to have some rare magic they couldn't be developed in Tevinter making her the perfect scapegoat they needed to please the Empire while Nevarra sent a woman that was a prisoner of war before. Cassandra Pentaghast, she was taken as a prisoner in the battle between Vyrve against the Templars and Grey Warden.
Vincent was sighing inside since all the women weren't older than Lytara was when she married him. Most of them were scared as he arrived in Rivain to collect the last woman who was Helena Leon. She was the oldest of them all.
"Are you going to marry all of them?" asks Helena as Vincent nods.
"That's the plan if my first wife agrees to it. She is who decides in the end after all," says Vincent as he was mentally exhausted from writing in his little notebook.
He opened a portal towards Highwind City as he passed it with the others. They arrived in the city as many were anticipating his return. The children he left behind were now in their teens except for Duncan and Godo who were now seven.
"I'm back," says Vincent as the children hugged him quite intensely. He petted their heads as they suddenly cried out of relief at seeing their father still alive.
"You all have grown quite well as I can see. Did you make trouble for your mothers?" asks Vincent as they all shake their heads when Vincent smiles.
"Well, I will be staying here for a long time now. So you shouldn't worry too much about it," says Vincent as he wasn't running anywhere for now.
Thedas was conquered and under control now he could rear the children without having to worry about it.
Vincent's only worry was the Mirror he had in his house that could lead to another world but it seemed inactive making him forget about it.
His children grew and either entered the Legion, Navy, or Crownguard while some of them returned to Ferelden stationed there since it was their second home.
Oren and Amethyne became Dragoons beside Godo and Duncan before they were allowed to return to Ferelden. Duncan was immediately recognized by Alistair and Leliana even if he was a bit taller than Alistair.
Oren and Amethyne could be said to be a couple since Amethyne wasn't a blood relative Vincent let them wed each other surprising their family as it was hard to come to terms with this.
200 years passed since Thedas entered the Empire and technology advance quite fast making it seem like they used to be in the stone age before with how everything was now.
There was electricity that wasn't generated by Magicka but by other resources as they sent their first vessel into space. Their weapons still are close-combat weapon like it always used to be but far more advanced. Their firearms also changed making it easier to defend the people.
Vincent was sitting on a table with his son Naosane across him as Naosane wasn't the Emperor any longer but his firstborn Naomasa Highwind.
"So this is what you were doing in your free time training for the next big war?" asks Naosane as Vincent nods.
"Exactly, I'm still vigilant because of this mirror," says Vincent as his children with the other women he brought home that day were reigning in Thedas over their provinces as Orlais turned into a Mer Province.
That sparkled a big rebellion that was put down forcefully with enough blood on the street to give people to remember that the Empire is cruel to those that want to go against it.
"I heard that Molag Bal left Nirn is that true?" asks Naosane as Vincent really didn't know that.
"I can't answer that but we should prepare for when he returns. He could bring a new enemy here," says Vincent as suddenly both he and Naosane felt something coming from Vincent's bedroom.
"The Mirror!" shouts Vincent as he suddenly had his ax in his hand ready to kill what came through the mirror.
Both entered the room finding two persons in dark cloaks standing in front of the mirror while the mirror was shining. Both seemed confused to be standing in a bedroom when they see Vincent with an ax in his hand.
"Are you the Velen Crones?" asks Vincent as the two seemed confused when Naosane entered the room accompanied by his mothers.
Serana, Mina, Anra, Kirvena, Karliah, Mako, Azura, and Ellana. Ellana was still alive because the Aldmers gained a longer lifespan after the veil was destroyed making them live long and it was still unknown for how long.
"What happened?" asks Mina as she saw two people standing in her bedroom.
"It seems they don't understand us," says Vincent as he swung his ax against the mirror destroying it thinking that more people could come through it.
Vincent then looked at both who became nervous because of what Vincent did when Naosane put himself between his father and the two strangers.
"Father, they can't understand us. Maybe they aren't even the people you believe they are. How about talking first," says Naosane as Vincent put his ax down.
"Fine, but if they are trouble I will kill them myself," says Vincent as the ax disappeared.
Naosane smiled at the two before he put his hands out. The two strangers took his hand and Naosane entered their minds.
'I'm sorry about my father. He was expecting some enemies and since you seem quite nervous when he destroyed the mirror means that you are only here by accident, am I right,' says Naosane telepathically to the two strangers.
'We are sorry about that but we were on the run from some Elves name Aen Elle. I'm one of them but you seem to be a brother as well while your father isn't one of us. Is he your adopted father?' asks one of the two, he was male going by the voice as he made Naosane laugh.
'No, he is my father, he and I share the same blood but on Nirn we inherit the race of our mother that's why I and my father look so different. But I'm an Altmer, not an Aen Elle. We have many Mer Races on Nirn,' says Naosane back as the two strangers got pictured of all living Mer Race on Nirn making the other person that didn't say anything shake without reason.
'What about the Humans do they treat the Elves well?' asks the female stranger as Naosane showed them the Imperial City seeing everyone living in harmony.
'We see everyone as a living being making it easy to live with each other not like before,' says Naosane as he showed them pictures from the war he participated in.
'My father was quite cruel to his enemy but he conquered the whole world and made this world possible even before I was born he went to war against my mother's race. He killed everyone that was a racial extremist named Thalmor,' says Naosane as they could see such a world was born out of a world that was at war.
'If just my world could be the same,' says the female stranger as Naosane smiles.
'My father thinks that also often,' says Naosane as he left them confused.
'Well, I will need your names if you want to stay here since my father is already quite suspicious of you two. He was guarding the mirror for over 200 years because some Velen Crones made a deal with an Immortal of Nirn,' says Naosane as they remove the hood.
One was a grey-haired Mer while the other was a young female Men. She had a scar-like an x on her left cheek her eyes were emerald-green and her hair was ashen-gray.
'My name is Avallac'h and this is Ciri,' says Avallac'h presenting both to Naosane.
'Well, you are welcome in Highwind City. My name is Naosane Highwind and you already meet with my father Vincent Highwind. We created this city for our family for when they retire after serving for two-hundred years. So you will meet many Highwinds in this city that are Mers since for Men and Beastfolk it's almost impossible to live that long,' says Naosane as both nod.
'But we have one problem,' says Ciri as she looked at Naosane.
'That would be?' asks Naosane as Ciri looked at Avallac'h.
'Our followers will come one day and they are pretty dangerous,' says Avallac'h as Naosane begins to laugh out loud.
'Trust me no one would dare to attack the city the former Dragonking lives,' says Naosane as both looked confused.
'Dragons, you have Dragons?' asks Ciri excited.
'Yes, my father is one and one of my mothers as well. He is called the former Dragonking because my little brother is the actual one. But you will see a Dragon once in a while in the city since they still bring their children here to get my father's blessing,' says Naosane as both were confused by it.
'But first, we need to get you two under a roof,' says Naosane as he guided them out of the room while his mothers were watching the newcomers.
'Who are those women?' asks Ciri seeing only beauties watching her.
'They are my mothers,' says Naosane making both Ciri and Avallac'h almost fall over from hearing that when Vincent caught them using magic.
"Bring them into the house beside yours. Then come back we need to talk," says Vincent to his son as Naosane nods before leaving.
"Now I need to repair the mirror again," says Vincent to himself as he entered his bedroom again and repaired the mirror by reverting time.
