The Traveler

The next few months Vincent was learning how to use everything in the house while he got his first phone which Naosane bought for him.

Vincent was surprised when he found himself being bombarded by messages from his family and friends. Vincent was really surprised that everyone even Vesemir could handle this technology that easily.

In the months Vincent was learning Yennefer's abdomen started to show itself. She was quite happy about it as she posted it for the family to see it.

Vincent was still struggling with the Internet as he was learning from it about the history from the last century.

Soon the first year was over since Vincent's return and Yennefer was holding a little girl in her arms. She would be the future Queen of Vengerberg and her name is Yennee Highwind.

She loves to be held by her mothers and sisters as Ciri came to Highwind City to see her little sister. She was nervous about meeting Vincent after almost a Century.

She pushes the doorbell and Mina opened the door. Mina sees Ciri and smiles at her while welcoming her inside. Vincent was having Yennee in his arms as she was playing with his left horn.

Ciri sees Vincent and her little sister and seemed to feel jealous of the little girl not knowing why when Yennefer sees Ciri and rushes at her giving her a long and warm hug.

"It's nice to see you again," says Yennefer as Ciri hasn't aged since she awakened her blood making her scars fade away making her look like her Ancestor.

"I wanted to meet my little sister even if she isn't by blood she is in spirit my sister as she is your daughter, Mom," says Ciri as Vincent was too focused on Yennee to notice Ciri.

"Don't tell me you are jealous of a little girl," says Anra as she looked at Ciri seriously.

"We all passed through this situation before," says Mina as Vincent would give his children more attention than his wives since he would have to let them go once they are adults.

He knew that they might return to him but his Men Descendants never trespass the hundred years with only a few passing it and even fewer that surpass the hundred and fifty

Even if Yennefer is immortal that doesn't mean their children are and they will share her burden once it arrives. That was the reason cherishes his time with his children.

"Now I have an even greater reason to win against the Reapers," says Vincent when he received a message from the Psijic Order.

He pulls his phone out and reads the message. He feels his hairs stand up after reading the message that he stood up calmly to not scare Yennee.

Vincent walks over to Yennefer and notices Ciri standing beside Yennefer, Anra, and Mina. The two Mers could read Vincent and knew something dangerous was going on.

"What happened?" asks Mina as Vincent handed over Yennee to Yennefer.

"We don't know yet. Mannimarco and the others are with the Psijic Order and need me to see something," says Vincent as he then smiles at Ciri

"It has been some time, Ciri. How is it going? Have you found a lover or two? You need to have a descendant to succeed you in a hundred years. The Imperial Law demands that after a maximum of two hundred years the Emperor and Empress, as well as Kings and Queen, need to give way to the next in line," says Vincent trying to change the topic which made Ciri turn red in anger since she was waiting for someone special.

"Don't change the topic!" says Anra as her aura was about to manifest.

"Something is coming towards Nirn. Something big and I am the only one that knows how a Reaper looks like from that damned book. I need to identify if it really is a Reaper that is coming for Nirn," says Vincent as this made everyone in the room except for Ciri and Yennee have cold shivers run down their spine.

"That can't be going by the book they would arrive in a hundred years not now," says Karliah as she looked like a Falmer for a moment.

"Then go fast and confirm if we really are going to fight a Reaper soon," says Mina as this is a serious threat to the Empire if it really is a Reaper that is coming for them.

Vincent opened a portal and walks through it when Ciri asks, "What is a Reaper?"

"A machine of destruction. The others told me that the Book of Fate foretold the destruction of the Empire by the hand of the Reapers. Everyone died it was a genocide," says Yennefer trying to stay calm as she was holding Yennee when Anra could see that Yennee was feeling what Yennefer was feeling.

She was about to cry when Anra took her from Yennefer so Yennefer could calm down first when Ciri asks, "What about the Gods?"

"They also got killed by them. Even Vincent after ascending couldn't stop them. If what is coming really is a Reaper we are all dead," says Mina looking bleak into the future.

This made Ciri feel fear seeing all those powerful women look this scared of the enemy that is approaching.

Vincent arrived at the Headquarter of the Psijic Order. It has been ages since he walked on this path as he sees Mannimarco and Flemeth awaiting him.

"How grave is the situation?" asks Vincent as Mannimarco and Flemeth wanted to kneel when Vincent stopped them.

"We have no time for formalities. Tell me how grave is the situation?" asks Vincent again as Mannimarco clears his mouth.

"By our calculations, the enemy should arrive in less than a year. But we want to make sure that it really is a Reaper. Going by what you told us they look like Netches but this one looks like a giant ball with a spaceship beside it," says Mannimarco which made Vincent sight in relief for a moment.

"Thank the Divines," says Vincent feeling a stone fall from his chest as Mannimarco and Flemeth could hear it in his tone.

"Let me see what is approaching us, but going by what that damn book said it isn't a Reaper," says Vincent as Mannimarco nods.

He guides Vincent with Flemeth towards the center of the Order where now a star observatory stands to observe the star if something was a miss.

Vincent looked through it and sees the giant white ball made out of metal and a spaceship that seemed to have no weapons visible flying side by side.

Vincent could feel a familiar feeling coming from the giant ball but he couldn't point out what that feeling was since he hasn't felt it for a long time. He looked deep inside of him and he found himself back on his Mindscape which he used to train in.

'The light, I feel it coming from that ball. But it is a different light, not Hydaelyn nor Akatosh. It resembles their light but isn't the same,' thinks Vincent as the white ball was floating in front of him in his mindscape.

"Who are you?" asks Vincent as the ball seemed to notice him.

"You are a child of the light. I can tell you who I am if you help my people," says the ball as Vincent looked at him suspiciously.

"I am Vincent Highwind, Warrior of the Light and First Emperor of the Highwind Dynasty. I want to know who you are?" asks Vincent again.

"I had so many names over the millennials. But my actual followers call me the Traveler," says the Traveler as Vincent had a name now.

"Can I trust that your followers won't harm my people if I send them to get them?" asks Vincent as the Traveler seemed to manifest into an astral body that was made out of light.

"I will tell my children to tell my followers to not harm your people. But I need your promise that you won't do anything to them either," says the Traveler as Vincent stands firm in front of the astral body.

"In my Empire, we have many races which live peacefully with each other they should be able to fit in easily if they follow the laws of the Empire. But I need something as well from you," says Vincent looking at the Traveler seriously.

"And that would be?" asks the Traveler as he could see that Vincent needed serious help.

"In a hundred years an enemy will appear that even the Gods won't be able to defend against. I will need warriors to fight by my side to save my people," says Vincent and the Traveler could hear Vincent's honesty in each word he said.

"If you need warriors I will send my children around your world to find people worthy of carrying my light. I think that you are worthy as well even if you carry some Darkness inside of you. But every word we exchanged were sincere to each other and I won't lie to you," says the Traveler when suddenly memories flooded into Vincent.

Vincent saw the past from which the Traveler ran away from with his people. The Taken King was looking directly at him but Vincent didn't feel fear looking at him but excitement surprising the Traveler.

"If the Taken King arrives we will fight back and seal him in a place even his Taken won't be able to escape," says Vincent as his aura manifested and the Twin Dragons were standing behind him.

Then a piece of the Traveler's light entered Vincent's body and he says, "With this, we are forever connected as you are connected to your other sources of light."

Then a little floating light manifested beside Vincent. Its body was radiating light which slowly took the form of a device that was black with golden ornaments over its black body and four red gems and two blue gems decorating the upper body and under the body of it. (Sanctified Vigilance is the Ghost Shell)

"So you are my Guardian," says the device surprising Vincent when the Traveler smiles.

"He is one of my children. He is quite a proud one just like his partner," says the Traveler meaning Vincent.

"So this device is your child," says Vincent when the device snapped back.

"I am a Ghost, not some device," says the Ghost when The Traveler sees both and thinks they fit each other.

"You need to give it a name," says the Traveler as Vincent thought for a moment.

"Vigilance," says Vincent as he continues, "Lance for short but Vigilance fits you quite well since you are going to travel with the man that is holding watching out that no threat approaches his people."

"Vigilance, it is then," says the Traveler as his astral body enters the ball again.

"We will meet in now time again," says Vincent as the Traveler slowly disappears from his mindscape.

"We will," says the Traveler as Vincent awakens from and was still looking at the Traveler.

"Mannimarco," says Vincent as Mannimarco stood beside him.

"Yes, my lord," says Mannimarco as he could see Vincent's smile which meant that it wasn't an enemy that was approaching.

"I want some of our carriers to escort the ship and the sphere towards Nirn. They are our allies and will join us in the fight against the Reapers," says Vincent which made everyone around him feel relieved when Vigilance appears beside Vincent.

"It isn't a sphere. It is the Traveler!" says Vigilance as everyone jumped back while drawing their weapon, making Vigilance hide behind Vincent.

"Everyone stop, he is my partner, and his name is Vigilance," says Vincent making Mannimarco look at it.

"At least the name is fitting for his Majesty," says Mannimarco as Vincent opened a rift.

"I will leave then. Also, make sure that the carriers have provisions. We don't know how much they still have on the ship and if they need some," says Vincent as Mannimarco nods knowing that they need every ally they could get to defeat the Reapers shortly.

Vincent passed through the portal with Vigilance as they appeared in the living room again with everyone feeling nervous except for Anra who was calming Yennee down with her calm aura.

"And?" asks Mina as she didn't notice Vigilance beside Vincent.

"False alarm, it wasn't a Reaper but a new ally named the Traveler," says Vincent as the room turned from gloomy to lively again after hearing Vincent say that.

"With the Traveler on your side you can only win," says Vigilance taking everyone's attention as everyone jumped back surprised but Vincent explained what Vigilance was before someone could harm him.
