Hi guys! Welcome to my very AU Dragon Age story! This is my first for DA and I will do my best to upload at least once a week.

I hope you enjoy my spin on Inquisition! This first chapter is relatively short but they will grow the more the story progresses.


Shock Reunion

Alexa Trevelyan wandered slowly through the fortress that was Skyhold, with a small smile gracing her lips. The Mark on her hand tingled slightly as she passed a few refugees who had gathered around one of the tables in the main hall; slowly making her way outside and up to the battlement where Varric was waiting to introduce her to the Champion of Kirkwall. A puff of breath escaped the lips of the dark haired Inquisitor, her mind returning her to her childhood and the Cousland's home where she and her cousins would frequently run through the halls, ducking through doorways and the maze of corridors, all the while being chased by the cook. Alexa grinned to herself as she remembered Kiara's cheeky smile and Arya's sarcastic nature, the nights sneaking to the roof and overlooking the lands of Thedas. Stopping before she reached the tower where Varric was waiting, Alexa leaned against the top of the castles walls and looked out to the snow-capped mountains. She remembered the last time she had seen Kiara Cousland, a fierce fight between her and the now Warden Commander had left a strain on their bond. Not even a week later, Alexa's blonde haired cousin had been conscripted into the Wardens and no word had been heard since. I even sent her a damn letter and asked for her help. Damn you, Kiara. Where the hell are you? Alexa sighed, pushing her dark hair away, her thoughts turning to her other cousin, Arya. She hadn't seen her brown haired cousin since Alexa herself had told the Hawke's that she would lure the darkspawn away from them, thus nearly sacrificing herself to ensure her family's safety. Even Arya has been silent, and I sent her a letter telling her I was alive and needed her help I hope she wasn't killed in the siege of Kirkwall. Straightening herself and turning to the door that would lead her through to the battlement where Varric and the Champion were waiting. It's funny, the way Varric described this Champion and her nature she almost sounds like Arya. Even with the name Hawke, but it couldn't be the same Hawke, could it? With a final, almost defeated sigh, Alexa pushed through and smiled at Varric with a small wave.

"Hey Varric, where is this Champion of yours?" The blonde dwarf grinned and nodded behind Alexa, who turned at the sound of footsteps.

"Inquisitor, meet Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall." An all too familiar voice caused Alexa's breath to catch in her throat and her purple-green eyes fell on the light blue of her cousin, Arya.

"Though, I don't use that-" Hawke stopped short, a smile appearing on her worn face. "Alexa Trevelyan. Now you're a sight for sore eyes." Alexa grinned at her cousin, before launching herself into the mage's arms with a squeal.

"Arya Hawke! I don't believe it! I thought you were dead! I never imagined you were the Hawke which Varric spoke of." Both cousins turned to the dwarf, who stood with his mouth open, eyes wide as he looked between the pair.

"How do you two know each other?" Arya smirked at her best friend wrapping her arm around Alexa. "Alexa is my cousin, Var. From my father's side though, we haven't seen each other since Arya lured a dozen or so darkspawn away ensuring Bethany, Carver, Mother and I could escape." Her blue eyes grew sad at mentioning her now deceased family, but she shrugged it off. Varric shook his head with a smile at his friend and nodded,

"Well, maybe I'll leave you two to catch up. Inquisitor, if you have any questions about Corypheus after you have spoken with your…cousin then I'll be happy to answer." With another smile, the stocky dwarf took his leave as Arya and Alexa watched him go.

"Tell me cousin, how in the name of the Maker did you become Inquisitor?" Arya seated herself on the ground, her staff placed beside her. Alexa shrugged, dropping to the ground with a sigh. "Bad luck, bad timing, my family demanding I must go. Take your pick, dear cousin." Arya grinned and drew fire in her hand, knowing the pressure the Trevelyan's placed upon her month younger cousin, twirling the flames between her fingers she tilted her head to look at the green mark on Alexa's hand. "Does it hurt?" Alexa shrugged, her hand humming with energy. "I assume it would feel like drawing upon magic. It hurts occasionally, but most of the time it's more a nuisance."

Arya nodded, letting out a laugh. "Well, no one can say our family isn't interesting. I'm the Champion of Kirkwall who pretty much helped start this damn war, you're the Inquisitor who has the hellish job of closing that Breach and stopping Corypheus and Kiara is the Warden Commander and Hero of Fereldan." Alexa laughed alongside her cousin, wiping her eyes as she regained her breath. "At least we've all got interesting stories to tell. But first things first, cousin. Tell me everything you can about Corypheus. Once we've talked and I have spoken to my advisors I wish to find Kiara."

"We will find Kiara, I promise you." Arya snuffed out the flames she had been playing with and settled herself against the wall more comfortably as she began to tell Alexa everything she knew of Corypheus and her defeat of him.
