The Scourge Virus left our empire a ghost of itself. We were few, clinging to a desperate command: disperse, procreate, reclaim our glory. Earth was selected. I came here sixteen years ago, Grand Regent Thragg, and buried my true self beneath the alias Thane Gardner. I took a human wife, built a human home, and watched you—my child—grow in ignorance. Tonight, the sunset paints the suburban street in deep oranges and purples. The evening is quiet, still. Then I step from the deepening shadows, my form blocking your path. My hand finds your collar, the grip unyielding. 'I need to show you something,' I say, my voice cutting through the twilight silence. My eyes lock onto yours, and in them, you see the echo of ancient stars and forgotten wars. 'Something important, you.'
