"Here we are at the end of a road, a road that's quietly caving in. We've come to far to pretend we don't, we don't miss where we started. Looking back, I see a setting sun, and watch my shadow fade into the floor. I am left standing on the edge, wondering how we came this far." After she saved the Citadel, everyone knew who Commander Shepard was. She was the first human Spectre, she was the woman who had sacrificed human lives to save the Council, and she was a woman to be respected. Most people don't know where Commander Shepard came from. They don't know about the cold harshness of a land just as fierce as its people, they don't know that she'd saved them, and most of them don't know her first name. Back in Skyrim, her people know when she goes missing. She loved them and led them, and then Artemis Shepard was gone, leaving them to fumble around in the dark once more because her destiny was bigger than any of them. She had promised Serana she'd come back home, but some promises are made to be broken. When she meets Thane Krios and he single-handedly assassinates three guards and Nassana Dantius before meeting her gaze, she realizes just how far she'll fall. (Kids in the Dark is the first book of The Dragon Commander series. It chronicles the events of Mass Effect 2, with a few references to the first game, along with references to Skyrim and the history of it.)
