Philza was talking to Tommy and Techno, teaching them about potions when he caught a glimpse of something familiar.

Interested, he got up and gestured for the two small boys to follow him. As they followed, they grew very curious.

What Phil, an unaging, avian father, didn't realize, was that he'd see you again, after 100 years, after your goddess mother died and XD helped her create you, and he was there to see you get created. He didn't think his long lost friend would be alive.
