Prologue

*Camiella strapped her daggers to her hips and pulled her black hair back into a ponytail. Her staff was wrapped in cloth and strapped to her back. Hopefully no one noticed it*

*Akira looked at her sister rubbing her eyes.* Sissy?

*Camiella looked down at Akira* Hey baby girl, what are you doing up so early?

What are you doing? *Akira asked.*

*Camiella sighed* Sissy has to go take care of some things in Denerim.

What kind of things? Those bad men you were telling me about? *She asked*

Yes, they are after me and I have to take care of them so they don't me away from you *she said gently touching Akira's cheek*

So... you will come back right? *she asked hopeful, her blue eyes bright*

Of course, I can't away from my family for too long or I might not survive*Camiella said gently*

*Akira hugged her tightly.* You will come back soon, right?

Of course*Camiella said wrapping her arms around the young girl*

You promise? No matter what? *she asked*

I promise that no matter what I'll come back as soon as possible*She said letting go of Akira* Now let your big sissy go so she get to Denerim on time to catch the bad guys.

*Akira nodded and walked with her to the doors pausing as they reached where they separated the inside and outside.* Bye Bye. *She said softly as her sister walked away.*

*Camiella trudged on to Denerim.* Maker I hate Templars

*Templers were all around Denerim mainly around the chantry. There had been a few reports of a rouge tevinter Mage seen around the area.*

*Camiella sighed.* I'm way too young to be doing this. *she said her body sinking into the shadows*

*they passed by as the day moved on and Templars switched and patrolled. Then Camiella saw the templar she was looking for.*

*Camiella smiled and inched closer to him until she was standing right behind him. She brought out her dagger, putting it to his neck* You ready to die Templar?

*He was shocked but kept a glaring scowl and spat.* Disgusting little mage bitch.

I'd watch what you call me, your life is in my hands now*Camiella said coldly*

*He kept his scowl.* You don't deserve respect, you are a plague that should be wiped out. Mage do nothing good.

*Camiella laughed icily, her breath cold against his neck*Like I haven't heard that before? Templars are pathetic and worthless; a lot of them need to be taken out.

We protect innocent lives! You will only bring pain and suffering.*he hissed* You will see the truth soon enough. *He said waiting for the blow*

*Camiella sighed and pulled the dagger across his neck, slicing the tender skin* I know what I am Templar, I know what I'll become if I don't resist, you don't have to tell me.

*The Templar fell to the ground dead*

*Camiella put the dagger back into its sheath and retreated back into the shadows, hoping to get home within 3 days*

*When she returned home it was a little before noon, the castle would usually be buzzing with energy but strangely it wasn't.*

*Camiella rushed inside, heading toward Akira's room*

*Bryce was in his room with his upset wife. Fergus was sitting outside Akira's room with pain in his features.*

What happened? *Camiella said rushing to Fergus' side.* She didn't...Die, did she?

No she's alive. She went outside yesterday and was being kidnapped by a tevinter mage. King Maric was coming and saw this and the Mage put her down and cut his wrist and there was a bright flash and he was gone. But Akira... *he paused gritting his teeth*

Is she in there, right now?*Camiella asked not waiting for the answer before opening Akira's door*

Yes. *he said*

*Camiella walked inside her body trembling as her eyes landed on Akira* Baby girl, look at me.

*Akira opened her eyes and looked around, searching for her voice* Camy? Camy are you there? I heard you but it's so dark I can't see.*she slid off the bed slowly and moved to the end but never letting go as she reached her hand out.*

*Camiella grabbed Akira and pulled her into her arms. She gently looked down in the little girl's eyes, noticing the gray color over her pupils not the beautiful blue Camiella loved. Camiella felt tears sting her eyes* Your blind.

Camy? Why is everyone sad?*Akira asked softly*

Because baby girl, you can't see anymore, and it hurts us to see you like this. *Camiella said, the tears falling from her eyes*

Did you get the bad man?*she asked smiling*

*Camiella smiled weakly* Yes I did. He won't be bothering me anymore.

*Akira hugged her tightly*Sissy? Is blood magic what that man did before everything became dark?*she asked*

I'm afraid so baby girl. And if had never left, this would never have happened.*Camiella choked out*

No! The bad man would have come and taken you away! I don't want you to go away! *Akira cried*

*Camiella held on to the little girl tighter* I could've prevented this.

I don't care, I don't want you to go away forever.*she said and her stomach growled* I'm hungry. *she giggled*

Well, here take my hand and we'll go eat together*Camiella said, gently taking Akira's hand*
