Ciri was laying in the bed with the others when she woke up but Vincent was missing. She tries to stand up with no success as her legs were still numb from yesterday when she notices that Yennefer and Yennee were missing as well.
"Where could they be?" asks Ciri herself in a low tone to not wake the others up when she feels someone's hand on her shoulder.
"Vincent must be training and Yennefer is taking care of Yennee," says Anra as Yennee woke up quite earlier than normally.
"You should sleep a bit more. You need to rest," says Anra as she knew that Ciri couldn't move her legs.
"Fine," says Ciri as she laid down again.
Vincent was on the Throat of the World with Saladin who was surprised that such a place existed in this world which reminded him a bit of his home.
"You are going to teach me here every morning until it is time for breakfast. Then we will return to Highwind City so you can continue your studies with the others," says Vincent as Saladin picked a bit of snow up.
"I like this place. It reminds me of home," says Saladin as Vincent smiles since this place reminded him of home as well.
"We lived here once before the city was constructed on Solstheim," says Vincent as he pointed at the place the house once used to be.
"Do you like the cold?" asks Saladin as Vincent nods.
"I was born in it. If you weren't resistant to the cold you would die in my home," says Vincent remembering how cold it could be in Coerthas.
"Anyway, we should start with the basics, shouldn't we?" asks Vincent as he sat down crossing his legs.
"I normally would have recommended Ikora if I hadn't seen a previous picture of yours since you look more like a Hunter or Warlock than a Titan. But the paintings and pictures of yours showed that you had a stockier body than now," says Saladin as Vincent smiles.
"Many things can happen over a hundred years but I am quite happy with my body. I seem to have regained many of my previous traits before coming to Skyrim," says Vincent as he was more flexible and agile than before.
"We will start with the most basic of the basic that every Guardian learns at first and that is to channel the Light inside of us as I learned how to channel the Magicka yesterday," says Saladin as Vincent nods and he began to meditate in the snow.
He soon felt the Light Saladin was talking about. It felt similar to the Light he inherited from Hydaelyn but it was different in a way as well. He released it and channeled it outside his body making Sol Energy appear in his palm which surprised Saladin.
Soon the Sol Energy took the shape of an ax which shocked Saladin for a bit when Vincent says, "It feels like the Light of Hydaelyn."
"Hydaelyn?" asks Saladin as Vincent nods.
"She is one of the Gods I worship beside the Divines. She made me what I am today after all," says Vincent as he wouldn't have gone that far if it wasn't for her making him a Warrior of Light.
"I am originally from another world as well...," says Vincent as he told Saladin about Hydaelyn.
"So those Warriors of Light can manipulate the Light," says Saladin as he was now thinking about something.
"Yes, but there is also Darkness which we accept," says Vincent as the ax made out of Sol energy disappears and Vincent was now in a Dark Knight armor that was too big for him.
Saladin could feel the Darkness radiating from Vincent now and was on guard when Vincent changed to the Dragoon armor again while saying, "Wherever is Light, Darkness isn't far. I learned that from an old friend of mine."
"Wise words," says Saladin as he was surprised that the Traveler would allow Vincent to become a Guardian.
"They are and I try to be the balance between both so everyone can live in peace," says Vincent as he looked at Saladin to continue with his lesson.
"Now you activated your Sol Energy making it obvious that you have an affinity with Sol Energy but there still exist Void," says Saladin as he created a ball of Void Energy in one hand before a ball of Arc Energy appears in the other and he continues, "And Arc Energy. But we should focus on the duty that a Titan has and the Code of Honor every Titan should follow."
Both balls of energy disappear and Saladin walks forward while holding his hands behind his back and says, "A Titan is the last fortitude between the enemy and a civilian. We are the pillar of strength in the Vanguard and the impenetrable shield. If we fall everything falls apart or at least that's what my student Zavala would tell you."
"And what would you tell me?" asks Vincent as Saladin looked into the horizon seeing Whiterun in the distance.
"I will tell you what I have seen with my own eyes," says Saladin as he didn't turn around.
"The Last City had a wall which was built by the Titans. They were the last final wall protecting the innocent from the Darkness and they lost their lives doing that duty. We honor those that died by being the shield of the innocent," says Saladin as he turns to Vincent.
"A Titan... No, a Guardian is an immovable object even if the world comes crashing down upon him or her, they need to be able to stand for all the people relying on him and even give up his life if it means victory in the end," says Saladin looking serious as Vincent.
"Sounds a lot like the Warriors of Light. Also, there when the world needs them even if it means sacrificing their life but they don't have a second chance which makes them even stronger," says Vincent as Saladin was confused.
"What do you mean?" asks Saladin as Vincent looks in the same direction and points at Whiterun.
"I bet that any guard in that city could defeat a guardian because of one thing," says Vincent picking Saladin's interest.
"And that would be?" asks Saladin as he was curious to hear what Vincent had to say.
"Someone that is immortal loses one important thing. I also have lost that emotion until I entered exile when I felt it again. That one emotion that makes you an unpredictable force of nature," says Vincent as he forgot that feeling after becoming Emperor
"Which is?" asks Saladin again.
"Fear," says Vincent which surprised Saladin.
"Fear is an emotion that allows you to break through your limits. I felt fear many times in my life and always when it encountered me I awoke to a new power. But I lost that feeling after becoming Emperor. But I reencountered it in my exile," says Vincent as he looked down upon the city.
"When someone that hasn't felt fear in a long time tends to forget that they need to fight against that feeling and overcome it. But someone that is fighting and he begins to feel that will grow stronger or freeze up and the people down there are Nords.
They won't freeze up but fight that feeling back and smash your skull before admitting that they felt fear," says Vincent remembering how strong he really was while fighting Alduin, Hermaeus Mora, and Harkon.
He might have gotten stronger over the years but he would have grown even stronger if he never lost his fear of dying after becoming Emperor.
"I can see your point. Fear froze us all up when we encountered the Taken King and all we could think about was fleeing," says Saladin admitting that fear crawled into their hearts when they saw the flagship of the Taken King.
"The question is what will you do once the Taken King knocks on our door. Will you all run again or stand beside us and fight him," says Vincent as he was getting ahead of everything again.
"But we should worry about that when he really knocks on the door and continue the training," says Vincent as Saladin was thinking if they really became weaker because they forgot the feeling for fear.
Vincent was able to create Arc Energy right away with Saladin's help and he could even form a spear out of the Arc Energy which didn't surprise Saladin after seeing Vincent created an ax out of Sol Energy.
Void Energy was a bit more complicated for Vincent but he created one which became a Greatsword in his hand resembling his Dark Knight Sword.
"You have done more than well on your first day. Maybe tomorrow we can start with the sub-classes and it seems you have your own sub-classes in mind going by how you formed your Light into Weapons," says Saladin as Vincent smiles.
"Maybe I can combine them to my classes, making them even stronger," says Vincent as Saladin nods since Vincent explained his classes to Saladin before when they were talking about Hydaelyn and the Warriors of Light.
Vincent opened a rift that leads to his house. Vincent and Saladin passed through it and they arrived in the living room where they find Vincent's wives eating breakfast with Ikora and Mara Sov with Yennee sitting in her baby seat between Anra and Yennefer.
She suddenly became excited when she saw her father making Vincent walk towards her and pick her up while saying, "Now how is my little princess doing?"
Yennee grabbed his horn while Vincent grabbed her food and walked to his seat and sits down and began to feed her before he started to eat his breakfast.
After breakfast, Saladin pulled Ikora into his room and she asks, "What is going on?"
"Vincent is a monster," says Saladin as he looked at her nervous.
"What do you mean?" asks Ikora as Saladin recounted how fast Vincent could control the Light and even form it into the shape he wants it to be.
"He will most likely master the sub-classes tomorrow and I won't have anything else to teach him," says Saladin as he couldn't believe how fast Vincent was in learning.
"What did you expect. He was chosen by the Traveler himself not like us which were chosen by a Ghost," says Ikora as Vincent had to be special for the Traveler to choose him.
In the meantime in the living room, Vincent signalizes to Anra to follow him. Vincent hands Yennee over to Yennefer as he leaves the room with Anra and they go down to the basement where his forge still existed.
Vincent summons his Darkness and he releases the prisoners he took in Crow's Perch while saying, "You wanted them after I had dealt with them."
The prisoners were still alive as if they didn't age while staying in the Darkness when Anra's aura manifested knowing that those were responsible for the death of one of her grandchildren.
The scythe in the hands of her aura cut cleanly through them making them feel pain and agony while the aura was slowly pulling their souls out of their body.
They were feeling as if a part of them was been ripped off their souls and it crushed their soul in its hand making the screaming stop for a moment as the souls entered their body again only for the aura to pull them out again making it start all over again until Anra had enough and killed them all.
