[i]Zale, Liz, and Hayden are sitting in the hangar, waiting for Janus' shuttle to arrive.[/i]
[b]Hayden[/b]: So, are you the teacher's pet or something?
[b]Liz[/b]: Hardly. Janus and my father were friends during the Collapse. After my father died, Janus took me in and raised me.
[b]Zale[/b]: Wait a minute, your father was Sebastian Roh!
[b]Liz[/b]: Hehe, yeah. The same one...
[b]Zale[/b]: Holy crap, this is awesome!
[b]Liz[/b]: I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about if.
[b]Hayden[/b]: Who the hell is Sebastian Roh?
[b]Zale[/b]: Me and Virgil here used to always listen to stories about that guy! The Hero of Valhalla! The Awoken guardian who never knew the meaning of "surrender"!
[b]Liz[/b]: Yup. Look, just don't go around telling any-
[i]Zale's ghost, Virgil, materializes in front of them.[/i]
[b]Virgil[/b]: Did someone just say Sebastian Roh?
[b]Zale[/b]: You bet! This chick is his daughter!
[b]Virgil[/b]: OH. MY. GODDD!!!
[i]Zale and Virgil begin crowding her.[/i]
[b]Virgil[/b]: Did he ever tell you about his adventures?!
[b]Liz[/b]: I don't know.
[b]Zale[/b]: Did he ever show you any cool moves or anything?!
[b]Liz[/b]: I don't know.
[b]Virgil[/b]: What was his favorite color?!
[b]Liz[/b]: I SAID I DON'T KNOW!
[spoiler]
[i]7 Years earlier, a little Warlock is playing in the living room of her house, practicing her void abilities. She hears the front door open, standing up to take a look.
A faint weeping is coming from the main hallway.
It's her mom, talking with a large, armored guardian. His name was Janus.[/i]
[b]Janus[/b]: I'm sorry Ma'am. We tried to stop him, but he... He made his decision.
[b]Liz's Mother[/b] [i](sitting down, sobbing)[/i]: Why?! Why did he have to be so stupid?!
[b]Liz[/b]: Mommy?
[b]Janus[/b]: He saved the planet... He'll be remembered forever.
[b]Liz[/b]: Where's Daddy?
[b]Liz's Mother[/b]: I don't care what they remember him for! He shouldn't be dead, he should be here! With us!
[b]Liz[/b]: Mommy, where's Daddy?!
[i]Liz's Mother is hunched over on the floor, crying in shock.[/i]
[b]Liz[/b]: Where is he?!
[i]She didn't respond.
Liz sprints through the door, into the cold breeze outside.[/i]
[i]Dark clouds are overhead, as snow flakes begin falling from the sky.[/i]
[b]Liz[/b] [i](running through the street)[/i]: DADDY!
[i]When she gets to the Tower courtyard, she immediately stops, sliding on the ground.[/i]
[i]A large ship is docked at the edge, the ramp lowered. A group of Warlocks, dressed in faded red trench coats step onto the ground, walking toward her.[/i]
[b]Liz[/b]: Where is he?!
[i]The figures step passed her and continue towards the Hall of Guardians, looking away from her to avoid her eyes. Almost as if her gaze was piercing them.[/i]
[i]Liz sunk to the ground, kneeling in the snow. Tears were now streaming down her face.[/i]
[b]Liz[/b]: Please.... Daddy....
[i]It wasn't until a couple hours later when Liz's mother came out and brought her inside.[/i]
[i]The snow continued to fall, though. For the rest of the night.[/i][/spoiler]
[b]-----------------------[/b]
[i]Zale and Vergil were quiet.[/i]
[i]Liz was now sitting on the ground.[/i]
[b]Liz[/b]: I was 10 years old when I found out, alright? I don't remember anything about him...
[i]The guardians looked down at the ground.[/i]
[b]Liz[/b]: My mother hated him for it. She always said how his mission wasn't to save Valhalla. It was to come home to us. Alive and well.... He never did.
[i]They looked up at her.[/i]
[b]Virgil[/b]: ...I'm sorry...
[b]Zale[/b]: Yeah.... We didn't mean to... Make you remember....
[b]Liz[/b] [i](stepping forward)[/i]: It's okay... I healed. I got better. Janus helped raise me. Gave me a chance to prove myself, and follow in his footsteps. Eventually, I learned to pick myself up. It's what keeps me going today.
[i]Zale smiled, impressed by her resolve.[/i]
[b]Hayden[/b]: Hey guys.
[i]Zale and Liz looked over.[/i]
[b]Hayden[/b] [i](pointing behind him)[/i]: You ready?
[i]Behind the Titan, a large shuttle pulled into the hangar bay, lowering itself to the metal platform.
The roaring jets slowed down to a low, steady stream as it touched down.[/i]
[b]Zale[/b][i] (walking forward)[/i]: Alright, time to get this over with.
[i]Zale climbed up the ramp and into the ship.[/i]
[b]Hayden[/b]: Hell yeah. Liz, you good?
[i]Liz stood up and started towards the shuttle.[/i]
[b]Liz[/b]: Yeah... Let's go.

Who's Virgil?
