Sieg has been the greatest Hero in all of Albion. He won the Arena, killed Whisper, destroyed Maze,
was captured AND escaped from Jack's prison, and killed Jack... just by scarring up his mask. So why couldn't he keep the Sword of Aeons? Because, even after only 7 years of his reunion, he can't kill his own sister. It's just not in him to do it.
He threw his own destiny, his own evil, down with the sword. And, for that Theresa owes her life to him.
Since then, Sieg has had many names. To his sister, he is just Sieg. To the folk of Albion, he is the Pilgrim. To bandits and Heroes alike, he is a wanderer. Everyone he fought, whether alive or dead, see him as the wielder of the Burnt Katana. But, for 13 years, he has had a new name, whom only one girl called him: Dad.
That's right. Not even a week had passed after the death of Jack, when Sieg was making a journey to rebuild the Heroes Guild, he found a little bundle, wrapped in a pink cloth. Attached to the cloth was a note from Theresa. It read: "Brother. I have no gift but this girl. Her name is Daniell. My last request is for you to take care of her. Theresa"
He picked up the bundle. It was light, and the girl in it was so beautiful...
There were so many questions he had to ask. Where did Theresa find the girl? What did she mean, "my last request"? But Sieg put the questions in the back of his mind, and took the baby girl with him to the Heroes Guild.
And for the next few years, he raised her as his own. She became the first Apprentice the Guild has had since Jack killed the Guildmaster. And, with regular visits from Thunder, she became a fine young warrior. At least, she was when she wasn't goofing off. She had gained her father's slimness, but at a young age, she could already carry her own weapon, a Greatsword (Sieg only had a stick when he was
her age). But, she tended to goof off, wearing a pair of Theresa's old clothes and flirting with older, more experienced apprentices. He wasn't pleased.
But, she at least made progress. She was the most skilled in her class, using her sword faster than most could use their sticks. She wasn't good with the bow and arrow, but she learned one good Will power, her father's favorite, the Fireball.
Now, she and Sieg had lived at the Heroes' Guild for 12 years, and nothing bad happened. But on Daniell's 13th birthday...
"Mornin'," Daniell muttered, walking down the steps into the Map Room. SHe was wearing a pink nightgown. "Mornin'," she repeated. No reply.
"Hello?" she started to panic, because her father usually answered her by now, complaing that she had it easy, being the guildmaster's daughter, sleeping in, wearing whatever she wants. But, this wasn't right,
there was no one here.
"Come on, Daddy," she yelped, "knock it off. Yer scaring me!"
"Child..." said a voice, a woman's voice.
"Huh?" Daniell followed the sound of the voice, and it led her to the kitchen. On the table, sitting there,
was Theresa.
"Auntie Theresa! Where's Daddy?" Daniell demanded. Theresa turned her head to face Daniell...
But there was something wrong. Her eyes... she still had her eyes.
