"There's something you need to know about your father, Tahir," Barta began. "He was… remarkable. Not only was he powerful beyond measure, but he had a singular purpose—to protect Earth."

Tahir felt a surge of pride mixed with a strange sadness. This was the man who had left him behind, yet his influence lingered in ways Tahir had never imagined.
