Alright! Finally I got around to writing this story! I absolutely love Dragon Age: Origins and have played the expansion and all the DLCs.
After a long all day Dragon Age marathon, I had a dream about this story. Sooooo, thus it was born!
I try to stay as close to the actual storyline as possible, keeping a playthrough and the Dragon Age Wiki up while I write it.
Enjoy!
Prologue
"Eldann! Noooo!" Naomi screamed as she ran toward a tall armored man, stumbling over the bloodied corpses of warden and darkspawn. Blood burned her eyes, sweat stuck her white-blond hair to her face blackened with dried sweat, dirt, and blood. A yelp escaped her lips as her body was pulled back by her best friend, "Let me go, Est'ar! He'll die! Eldann!"
"Naomi! There's nothing you can do, this is how it must be. He was chosen to deal the final blow. He will be a hero!" The elven archer held her shoulder and arm firmly, his strength easily overpowering her own.
"No! Eldann! Please, let someone else go!" Naomi screamed.
The pained cry of the wounded archdemon covered up her own. She could see Dumat struggling to stand on butchered legs, trying to fly on shredded wings. The beast looked toward her, sorrow painting its eyes. 'And so the end comes to me... others will rise after me, until all seven of us are dead. And you will live on, a remnant of my own blood, until the last of the old gods is gone.' she heard it's whispers in the back of her mind, the image of a cloaked man flickering with that of the dying dragon.
"Naomi..." Eldann called, drawing her frightened gaze. His sword dripped the crimson liquid of the darkspawn's tainted blood. He smiled sadly, his blue eyes kind and gentle against his blood covered face. "I love you." The words slipped off his lips, echoing through the air as he turned to face the beast. "Forever and always, like the undying circle of life."
"Eldaaann!" She cried, fresh tears drawing paths down her blood stained skin. Her hand broke free of their hold and she stretched it toward him as he ran, blade ready in his strong hands, toward the open mouth of the Archdemon, and his death. "Eldann! Nooo!"
Hope you enjoyed the prologue! I'm working on the next chapter and it will be up sometime this week!
Thanks for reading!
