Silent war

Rebel_Templar Solas followed the presence to the room off the gardens with the eluvian an to say what he saw step through almost brought him to tears his baby sister had grown so beautiful but he was than defensive to the shemlen who'd looked like he'd stepped through a magic portal "hello again asa'ma'lin "


Cullen sighed deeply smiling at Astria " we were both naiveily young Astria you have clearly grown into yourself maker knows I'm still a bundle of nerves " he ran his fingers through his hair " after everything I wasn't the same then I heard about amarinthen an maker I cried till I was empty ...I wound up so depressed a dalish mage decided the dumb shem needed guidance and asked I raise her two daughters one a mage I took them an maker I don't regret it the mage she's amazing she had so little outlet for magic but she gives the warmest hugs and sometimes smacks me when I don't eat vawyn I do believe she scared my recruits ...seeing you now Astria I might actually cry again cause maker your alive and I'm so happy to have my best friend back " he looked at her taking a deep breath "promise me you'll stay there's someone I want you to meet "

Varric rolled his eyes andraste guide him his mother won't stop at baby varric stories he led her to the dining hall only to see that his father showed up nope he could leave go back not face the man who made him feel like his life choices were a waste of time maker he prayed to the paragons cassandra could handle him nosing into her personal life

Fenris wrapped hawke in a hug rubbing her back softly when Bethany began to stir he smiled leading her to her twins "he left you with pieces of him "the tiny baby reached grabbing his finger cooing and make soft happy noises he raised an eyebrow cracking a soft smile

Blackwall smiled taking neshiras hand kissing it softly than kissing each finger tip gently he looked up smiling at her her face a bright red and he pushed her loose strands of hair back kissing her nose "thank you neshira"

Dorian didn't know anything about what Callum was feeling he could use the memory spell but then everyone would hear the echoes but maker he had a sobbing elf a really pretty sobbing elf vawyns twin snowys twin he then heard callum stop an apologize "don't even your sister left you with me an if you need to cry than do so but I find it better to talk about it "

Henry had been told many things growing up the king lured his father to his death it was his legacy to become a warden as if being raised by them wasn't enough he was grown enough he went to what remained of ostigar found the warden chalice ran into the hero of ferelden and he truly heard the truth he stood at an ornate door curious he pushed it open to see a women dressed in rich gold and blues "forgive me I was told by warden commander cousland to seek an ambassador I'll leave"

Bittersweet_Destiny Cassandra saw Varric's expression and gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about me. He can't be worse than my uncle."

She sat down where his mother indicated she should sit giving her thanks in the process. She could feel the man's eyes boring into her but ignored him, favoring conversation with Varric and his mother and occasionally Bartrand. Only Varric could tell she was using every diplomatic trick Josephine taught her.

Astria stared after him, he admitted that he mourned her, that honestly surprised her. She lived this entire time thinking he still hated her, now he wanted her to meet someone, it must be someone he cared for very much. She waited patiently, noticing that Carthory was no longer with her, she will chew him out later for not warning her but thank him for the opportunity. She was wondering what kind of gift to give him as a thank you when she saw Cullen walk over with a beautiful young lady at his side and a baby in his arms. It didn’t take long for her to realize the woman was a mage.

“Maker turn me into a bird because I don’t believe it,” Astria said smiling. “You married a mage…At least I hope you’re married because if Knight Commander Greagoir finds out you became a father before marriage he will lose his shit, and his bet with First Enchanter Irving.”

Vawyn was about to ask if she could join Fallon on the hunt since she knew the area having been there longer than him when Carthory asked to speak with her. She gave a sweet smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes before bowing to Fallon. “Ir’Abelas Fallon. I would like to join you on your hunts and show you around."

She turned away and gave Carthory a hard look as he led her away. “Carthory I hope you have a good reason for calling me over. I have a bone to pick with Fallon not only for killing Dashana on behalf of Jarand but for also killing Elliot and talking my brother into leaving the clan. I know he has the poison on him, I just need to get it. As mad as I am at Dashana she is still my mother and I need to help her if only to get more answers. But it’s you so it must be important."

Vawyn then stopped him and raised her hand looking towards where she sensed a presence watching them and watched as a young redhead walked out from the foliage. “You know spying without a cause is rude. I would think the daughter of a spymaster and Divine would know better,” Vawyn smiles gently. “You look just like your mother, if she found out you’re here I am not sure her reaction. You better head back to the castle before you get yourself into trouble.”

Nesihra blushed again, not used to the sweetness from anyone other than her siblings. She noticed the noble and wiggled her fingers creating a wall around their group to prevent those with ill intentions from coming near them. She almost laughed when she saw the man walk into the wall. Nesihra caught Mira's confused look at watching the man and gave her a wink. "No one will bother us, don't worry Mavis. I won’t let anyone ruin anything for your time here.”

It took Mavis a moment to realize that this young mage cast a barrier spell without saying anything out loud, that magic, according to Callum, was lost though he himself is relearning it. How had this young girl learned it?

Merrill blushed and couldn’t make eye contact for a moment, then she looked at Maherial, seeing him patiently waiting for her answer. She knelt down not pulling her hands away and watched his expression as he spoke.

“When you left a part of me died,” she said quietly. “I blamed myself, I blamed Tamlen, and then I blamed the mirror. Then I had the brilliant idea that if I could fix the mirror that Duncan broke that it would bring you back to me. I have already accepted Tamlen’s death…Anders once told me you were dead, it was then that I was wishing I was dead as well, but the Eluvian…as if it were tied to my emotions would occasionally show me images of you, in places I did not recognize, that is how I knew you were still alive, and how I believed that the Eluvian could reunite us…but I gave up on it after our clan was destroyed.

“I am not worthy of you,” Merrill looked away then, hiding her unshed tears. “I have done so many unforgivable things that the fact that you love me brings me such happiness, but also brings me fear that you will one day leave me. I want to stay by your side, for as long as you will have me…if you still want me knowing my selfish reasons for wanting to fix the Eluvian.”

Vivienne looked at the dress, the color would look good on Alicia with her pale skin but on herself it would look like outright trash. It would be a little short on her as she was taller than Alicia. Vivienne had little to no choice but to wear the dress to the dinner and hope she had enough charm to get into the Princess’s good grace’s. She put the dress on and waited until dinner or until the templar she wrote showed up.

Faster than Jarand could blink, Sylphie had him by the throat lifting him up in her demonic form. “Remember Anaris,” she hissed her serpent tongue caressing his face. “Only reason you are not sealed in the Fade with your brothers and sisters is because of me. We are not under a blood contract, you would need all of the four great spirits to force me into the Fade and I will drag you with me. I may call you master and let you boss me around but that is only because you promised me souls to torture and power over others. We may treat this like a game but know this, any failures are your poor planning because you asked that we do things your way for the time being. Push me again and I will throw you in front of your greatest enemies and let them judge you on the promise that you become mine to toy with. Remember you are only powerful because of the support my brothers and sisters give you through me, they can only wait for so long for you to fulfill your promise.”

Sylphie let Jarand go, turning back into her human form, her tattoo on her face glowing bright red and slowly dimming, her red eyes turning back into murky green.

“Remember the contract you signed in blood wasn’t with me but my brother, he offered me as his agent but he has no control over me, I do what I do out of loyalty to him and the promise from you.”

Josephine raised her hand to stop the boy. "He is still in the hospital recovering. I will be handling all of his appointments until his Second or third in command come in his place. How can I help you, you seem lost?"

Smoke_An_Mirrors Morrigan holding her son close tskd" no it's made of the blood of my enemy's yes it's pure magic you Templars state the obvious one to many times I need to use that mirror if you please solas if the inquisitor asks I'm fetching an old friend even if I have to drag her from her grave which I believe isn't necessary solas your to watch keiran" she knelt to her son kissing his forehead" aedan or alistair if you feel your in danger I won't be long "

Dove gave a dirty look "hey you walking snowball I don't have a mom I'm princess dove therin I followed you I followed him too "points to fallon who's out of earshot"saw him stuff deathroot in his pocket that stuffs poisonous in a high dose giving in increments it slowly kills your worse than the recruits none of them wanna spar with me "

Leliana smile faded as an agent approached her one of her messengers she'd asked him to look into finding Alicia's parents he handed her a letter stamped with the templar crest addressed in cursive my dear raven she opened it to see a letter addressed to her

Dear leliana

It's been sometime since I heard your raven than again our last encounter I was simply a guardian for andraste's ashes

You were asking about monsieur Trevelyan I must admit my dear raven you should look no further than I. I am not ashamed to admit that I gave a different identity when you all came to be because I was protecting my daughter at the time, who I am to understand is in your care now. I am glad she has found happiness and I can rest easy now that she is safe.

If possible I would like to see her again, see the woman she has become and tell her everything she needs to know before I am sent to the Maker's side. Time is not on my side but I will make the effort to see my precious girl again and tell her how proud I am of the woman she has become.

Two days time I shall arrive an only you privy to my condition see I broke the templar code an helped hide an apostate and now I serve my penance red lyrium in small doses I didn't notice at first but I feel it beneath my skin I ask that if I succumb to it you show me mercy my raven

Sencerialy Evander "

Alicia looked at Cullen than pulling astria into a hug smiling "Cullen's told me so much about you I must admit his stories do your beauty no justice" alicia smiled "maker you clearly have so many embarrassing stories of Cullen and I have one about a game of wicked grace "

Molly smiled at her brother as Cassius sighed" ma falon meet my Isa'ma'lin " notices Cassius and giggles poking his nose" I forget my brother this is my brother" she noticed solas growling" Diana mah is's tel din daral nuem em Isa'ma'lin
Is's Ma vhenan please "

Alina looked at the nug an it got her thinking about aedans kidnapping something didn't sit right with her about the behavior of the darkspawn there territorial but they were able to infiltrate the deep roads and get aedan without minimal damage to the team they took minus her who was attacked by a third party almost as if the darkspawn were being told to stay put she grabbed her bow and daggers an wrote a letter for everyone letting them know she was heading to the deep roads she was getting to the bottom of this mess

Grey_Warden Maherial looked at Merrill smiling patting her hands " tamlens death it killed me inside if not for Nathaniel Astria keshina an a few others I'd of died slaying the archdemon than I thought of you and how my death would affect you an I couldn't leave you Merrill I'm in love with you no matter what you do how you do it what magic you wield I don't care my love for you is boundless you will an always be ma Vhenan"

Jarand took a deep breath laughing like a mad man at sylphies threats he sat frazzled wiping the blood from his lip looking at it he was running out of time this body won't last much longer he moved a peace on the chess board grabbing the peace hiding in his bag not noticing Sylphie had stolen his grimoire an learned of his secret to his youth unaware that secret would change her alliance to him he moved carthorys peace with grace smirking allowing dark magic to flow swirling around the peace activating the long since buried binding he whispered into the magic " bring the red templars to the escape route in the castle distract the inquisitors companions do as your told" he blew the magic an anyone around carthory would not know of the dark surrounding him " your move lady fate"

Warrior_of_Fate Melody rubbed her temples breathing in deep. She opened her eyes and looked at Raphiel. Do you think you can keep an eye on things? Our friend should be making his move soon and his companion should be finding her crossroads soon, make sure no one interferes with her choices.”

Melody picked up a card looking at it carefully, “Though this is a game of chess, I can use the cards of fate to influence the outcomes. Alina needs protection, and I found that a demon in love is the best protection of all. I'm taking a gamble on Tene, and I hope I'm not wrong."

Melody set down her card and put two new pieces on the board. "Maker watch over you all."



…

Alyn Shir saw Alina leaving, she promised Lashrael she would stay behind but she needed to do this. She needed to undo the mistake she made. She followed Alina sneaking out of Lashrael’s room and when Alina turned around Alyn sighed.

“Look I’m not good at apologies,” she said to the human girl. “I was tricked and lied to about the King’s involvement with a very dangerous being in my world. I have never questioned my order before, so I had assumed their information was accurate and that they had done the necessary research before sending me out. I never suspected that they would be infiltrated and used. Allow me to make it up to you as a travel companion. An extra set of hands won’t hurt will they?”
