The story of Shepard's life, turned into nighttime story many parents across different species tell their children. Points if its really inaccurate, and the story changes depending on which culture is telling it. (Asari: Shepard is a diplomat, Turian: Shepard is an amazing general, uh. Salarians play up her intellect? Also, your choice to if Shep is long dead or not.)

OR.

Shep and Garrus hanging out watching TV. When a children's show comes on that has a strangely familiar story line.

"What do you want to hear tonight?" He asked, touching their heads affectionately.

"We want to hear about Shepard!" Chimed the first.

"Yes, Shepard and the monsters!" Added the second.

"Again? But I just told you that one last night. There are other stories you know."

"But it's the best one, Papa."

"So it is. You've heard it so many times though, I bet you can tell it to me how it starts."

This troubled her so deeply that she decided to come down and right all the wrongs of the galaxy herself. She came down as a human baby and the night she was born the ground of the planet trembled and the sky was filled with strange lights. When her parents took her to be blessed by the elders of the village they could sense that she was no normal child and so they declared that she should be named Shepard because it was her destiny to shepherd all beings to truth and peace."

However, it was not Shepard's destiny to remain on such a small planet singing songs of peace."

"Because then the monsters came!" Interjected the younger daughter excitedly.

"Yes, yes," He laughed, "The monsters. I was just getting to that."
