This is my first trip through Bioware's worlds of Dragon Age and/or Mass Effect. I'm assuming that if you are reading this story, you have already have played either or both games series. If not, are you living under a rock! Anyways, there will be massive spoilers for both game series here and some of the scenes may not make much sense unless you are familiar with the Mass Effect Trilogy and Dragon Age: Inquisition stories. I'm am pulling quite a bit of info from both and trying to keep it to canon as much as possible but some changes will take place due to the addition of certain Mass Effect characters in the Dragon Age universe and to better enable to make a certain Mass Effect character more valuable to the Inquisition.

If you have read any of my other stories, you might be aware that I only seem to finish my stories half the time. This is mainly due to me not knowing how to actually end them. Good news is, this one is already complete and have posted all chapters at once so this will not happening this time around. The bad news is that since the story is already finished I'm not able to use feedback from the readers and comments to make small tweaks this story but I do read them. Who knows, if enough people like this one there might be a sequel.

(Clears throat) I do not own anything in this story, except for a few of the ideas. All characters, etc. belong to Bioware and EA. I make no money from this and don't plan to. It's all in good fun.

Chapter 1: Rumors

(Skyhold War Room)

"That can't be right, "said Maxwell Trevelyan looking over the report, "Why would a demon be rescuing people?"

Leliana shook her head gently and replied as she placed a token next to Redcliff Village on the map. "It's not a true demon, but someone the locals are calling the Demon. This Demon is a vigilante that is using some sort of magic in ways my scouts have never seen before. "

"And surprisingly, "Cullen added, "Templar abilities don't seem to affect the Demon. This Demon took down a good size group of rogue Templars a few weeks ago. According to witnesses they attempted to nullify her attacks with no luck."

"At first we thought it might be Anders wandering around the area, "said Josephine, looking at her notes, "After all, the glowing blueness might be indication of possession. However, witnesses state that the Demon is a woman and she fought hand-to-hand, using magic as a complementary tool.

"Sooo if this Demon is saving people, why is she a concern for the Inquisition, "the Inquisitor asked.

"It's the powers that the Demon is demonstrating. Never been seen before but the closest is what was displayed by the abomination Anders, "said Cullen, "If this Demon is using spirit like abilities, she may be another abomination that starts out decent but will eventually become a danger."

"Even if that is not the case, "added Lelliana, "Would not someone with such a unique skill set be a worthy addition to the Inquisition."

"Fair enough, "the Inquisitor sighed, "I'll gather my team tonight and head out in the morning."

(Hinterlands, Two Weeks Later)

Varric sighed as he poked at the campfire, "I'm starting to think that this Demon character is just a myth. Come on, someone able to fly short distances, lift others without touching and all that while glowing a light blue color?"

"No she's real, to the villagers, "said Cole sitting next to the fire fidgeting, "Some she is a hero, others another fear in the night. Most feel that she … helps. They fear her cause they don't understand her and wonder if she is truly a demon."

"That's why I brought Solas and you, Cole, "said Maxwell as he removed his armor, "It might be a spirit or someone being possessed by one. Between you and Solas, if it is a spirit we might get some answers."

"If we ever find it, "grumbled Varric, "Where is Chuckles…"

A bright explosion followed by green gas blinded the three and they coughed loudly as they tried to move, but the gas overcame them as they fell over.

A group of ten or so men walked into the campsite as the gas dissipated. The eyes of one of them glowed gold as he ordered, "Bind them and then take them to the base. " As the others moved to follow his orders, the leader took out a sheet of parchment out of his shirt and then used one of Cole's daggers to pin it to Varric's crossbow's stock.

An hour later, Solas returned from gathering healing hersb only to see the destroyed camp. "No, "he whispered as he bent over to take the note:

'If you want to see your Inquisitor and his followers unharmed, bring the Demon back to this location within five days. If anyone else but you, Elf, and the Demon appear, the hostages will be terminated. We are watching.'

Solas said a few choice Elven words and stood there a few moments to consider his options. In the two weeks that they were there, they have not seen hide nor hair of this Demon. So most likely she's knows they are looking for her and is avoiding them, but if she is as helpful as locals say she should be willing to provide aid. He frowned, the bar in Crossroads is a good place to start a 'rumor' and then to Redcliff. He then hid his companion's gear and took only the bare essentials. He was going to have to move fast and light.

(In an abandoned Grand Villa in Hafter's Woods)

The gold glowing eyed leader frowned as he got a good look at the prisoners. It appears that each of them was immune to his control. The larger human has some sort of energy about him that burned out the indoctrination. The smaller, paler human had a mind that was not human. Whatever he was caused him to fully sense the attempts to control him and enable him to fight it off. The dwarf…dwarves as whole were breed around the strange substance called lyrium and their immunity towards it seems to affect the indoctrination as well. No matter, they were bait and nothing else. They would remain alive only long enough and then, whether or not the elf follows his demands, they will cease to exist.

Cole was the first wake, but he kept his eyes closed in the hopes of fooling the captors. 'Two minds, one body, but one now dead. No, the mind has changed…small voices, whispers always whispers,' Cole thought as he fought to keep mind clear of the whispers and so far it appears to be working. 'Not of this world, hates this world. Primative. Humans. Hatred. Revenge. ' Cole could no longer hold it in, he had to breathe. Move. Motion would help keep the whispers away.

"There is no need to fear, half human, "said the leader with a smile as he turned to head outside, "You fate has already been pre-ordained."
