"That can't be my father told me that she died on a mission as an Elite Commander while defending one of the Colonies," says Liara as Matriarch Benezia was the Asari that brought her to the world making the Asari in front of them Liara's father.
"I never died while defending a Colony or I wouldn't be standing in front of you. Hell, I wasn't even in the Commandos for crying out loud," says Aethyta as she was surprised by this story since Benezia told her that she would raise their daughter alone so she wouldn't be ashamed of their child.
"Why would my mother lie to me about it for my whole life," says Liara angry about it.
"Did you abandon my mother after finding out?" asks Liara as Aethyta was scratching her cheek making Vincent look at her surprised.
"It was that bad," says Vincent as he remembers Aela's first reaction to their daughter.
Aela wanted to abandon her since she told herself she wasn't made to be a mother which soon turned out to not be true as she was overprotective of her daughter while she was a toddler but she never wanted to have a second child because she thought those emotions would make her weak.
"It wasn't that bad but we Asari normally don't have children with each other since we want to produce a better version of ourselves which isn't possible if we don't mate with another species be they male or female," says Aethyta defending herself.
"That doesn't justify that you never tried to make contact with me even after my mother died on Noveria," says Liara angry at Aethyta as the whole bar seemed to like to listen to their show when Vincent moves his hand putting everyone except for the group to sleep.
"Your magic is quite handy sometimes," says Joker seeing that as Vincent raises his eyebrows.
"Sometimes I wish I had learned magic before I ran into a Lair of Vampires to avenge a mother and child which burned to death. It would have been easier and less bloody," says Vincent as Liara and Aethyta were arguing because Liara couldn't accept Aethyta as her father for now.
She stopped talking with Aethyta when Vincent says, "I have come here with Liara to get your blessing."
"My blessing for what?" asks Aethyta confused as she looked at her daughter which had a small blush.
"For our future union. I will be marrying Liara once this mission is over and I heard it was a custom around this sector of the Galaxy," says Vincent as Aethyta dropped the bottle she was holding waking everyone in the club up.
"You are getting married to someone from the Empire," says Aethyta not believing what she was hearing as she looked at her daughter.
"Not just anyone but the man on top of the hierarchy if we are exact," says Joker adding more information that wasn't needed but Aethyta seemed to not know what was going on.
"What do you mean with on top of the hierarchy?" asks Aethyta confused since she only knows that the current Emperor is a Bosmer and the next one would be a Dunmer but she didn't see how a person could give up the throne to someone that isn't even their son.
"I think that everyone in the hierarchy must be crazy to give up their throne to a son that doesn't even have a resemblance to the actual Emperor," says Aethyta as Vincent began to laugh after hearing that.
"Nirn is quite a mysterious place. But it is quite simple, the children of a mixed couple mostly take after the mother while having some features of the father," says Vincent explaining it to Aethyta as she seemed to catch on fast since Asari are the same their offspring will be an Asari with some features of both parents.
"So they are really all descendants from the person they call First Emperor?" asks Aethyta curious as Vincent smiles at her.
"Every one of them or my name isn't Vincent Highwind. But we should concentrate on Liara since she is a member of the Empire and she will be joining the Imperial Household once she marries me," says Vincent as Aethyta was first confused when she remembers that Vincent just now told her that he is a Highwind.
"So you belong to the Imperial Family," says Aethyta as Vincent nods.
"That's right the current Dragonking is my father," says Vincent making Joker spew his drink out because Vincent lied too smoothly.
"Is something wrong, Joker?" asks Vincent finding it funny that Joker couldn't hold his drink because of him.
"*cough* I was just surprised since you never told us who your father was the whole time," says Joker recovering from it while covering Vincent's lie.
"So those Dragons are they like the ones in the tales of the Humans from Earth?" asks Aethyta as Vincent nods.
"They are and they are quite proud. If you offend them you might end up dead before you even know it," says Vincent warning her when Aethyta looked at him confused.
"But how comes your father is the Dragonking?" asks Aethyta curious about it.
"My race is called Au-Ra we are Humanoid Dragons which can turn into Dragons freely since the first generation was bred by the First Emperor and the Last Great Dragon. That's how the Au-Ra line came to life on Nirn since the First Emperor was the only Au-Ra until then," says Vincent as Liara was surprised since she thought that Mina was an Au-Ra as well and not a Dragon.
They stayed in Eternity for awhile so Liara could talk to Aethyta even if they aren't at good terms which each other while Vincent gulped down his Ryncol in one go.
"*cough* This thing hits hard. I think my liver is getting killed at the moment," says Vincent as he places the glass down.
"Well, Ryncol was made for Krogans and not for normal people," says Joker as the Asari weren't even listening to them.
"Trust me never tell that to a stubborn Nord or you will murder some of them just to show you that a drink can't hold them down," says Vincent as he filled his glass with water to get the taste of Ryncol out of his mouth.
"So what do you think of our current team?" asks Joker curious since Vincent led war while he was still a bacteria in someone else sperm.
"A band of ragtag that are trying to find a place they can call family. But I think they all find a good 'Mother Bear' in Titania," says Vincent as Joker was shaking his glass in circles before taking a sip.
"Well, it seems that doesn't include you too then," says Joker as Vincent smiles.
"Who knows it is nice to have a big family after all," says Vincent as the burning in his abdomen stopped.
"But we are still far from having a team that can deal with the current mission. We need more specialized people to be able to accomplish our mission and Titania is on a good way with recruiting Thane Krios and Justicar Samara," says Vincent as he read their profile before being dragged out of the ship by Liara.
"An Assassin and a Powerful Biotic, if you ask me we should get another person from the Empire who can use powerful magic just in case," says Joker as he gave his opinion making Vincent think about it for a moment.
"A powerful Mage is what you want?" asks Vincent as Joker looks at his glass.
"He doesn't need to be too powerful but should be able to hold himself in a battle against the Collectors," says Joker as Vincent closes his eyes and began to think deeply about what Joker said when Vincent opens his eyes and smiles.
"I think I know the right person for this and she can even use some other abilities which I learned from her," says Vincent excited since he hasn't seen the person he was talking about in a long time as Joker was taken back since he wasn't in the lead of the Normandy and her crew but Titania but he was curious.
"Who do you have in mind?" asks Joker as Vincent turned to him.
"My Mentor when it comes to being a Warlock, Ikora Rey. She is a powerful Guardian and Mage as she began studying Magic under Ellana and Anra before going to the College of Winterhold to learn more.
Nowadays she is a researcher for new spells and explorer of the Abyss in the Psijic Order," says Vincent as Joker was now interested even more to hear about this person Vincent mentioned.
"But it will be difficult to get ahold of her," says Vincent when Titania arrives at their side.
"Why is that so?" asks Titania as she was traveling with four people instead of three as she normally does.
"She is a workaholic since she began researching spells earning the title 'Hermit' from Cayde for not having time even for him or Zavala and that was already before the Geth entered the Empire," says Vincent as he looked at Titania.
"Is there a way to recruit her?" asks Titania curious since she was listening in on Joker and Vincent.
"There is but we need to get to Nirn for that," says Vincent as Titania began to think.
"We have to go to Tuchanka next to help Mordin and Grunt we can go to Nirn after dealing with their personal problem," says Titania planning ahead when Vincent only smiles when Titania asks, "And she is?"
"My father-in-law," says Vincent making Titania almost fall over from the shock since she was told by Liara that her father died a long time ago.
"How?" asks Titania confused.
"A white lie told by her mother to not hurt Liara's feelings while she was young," says Vincent as they stayed there for awhile longer waiting for the second group to arrive.
