Hello fellow Dragon Age fans! This is my first fanfic story and I'm happy and scared at the same time. I'm happy that I finally got the guts to post something, but really nervous of what you all will think. Anyway I hope you like it and I welcome reviews and advice and whatnot, if it's flames be kind it is after all my first try. Also I do not own Dragon Age or any of their characters. Anyway I hope you enjoy!

All was quiet in the streets of Denerim. There was not a single cloud in the night sky, which allowed the full moon to look down silently at the world. It was late into the night and not a single soul was out wandering the streets, "Guards seize the thief!"; okay someone was out, but they weren't exactly wandering. A cloaked figure scaled over the stone walls of the estate. "She's on the wall!", someone called as the figure ran along the wall and leaped over to a nearby structure, "What are you waiting for! Fire at her!" a guard commanded. The figure swiftly dodged the oncoming waves of arrows as she made another leap down into the alleyway below. "She's in the streets! I want scouting parties of three! Go after her!" The chase was on as the guards scattered and the lone figure continued her race through the maze of streets heading for the Drakon River. "There she is!" a man called behind her. It was time for them to lose her trail, as she got closer to the bridge. A group of guards ran across the bridge only to see that the opposite end had been gated off.

"Are you sure she went this way?" one of them asked.

"Yes, I'm positive that she did." Another replied.

"Well, then where is she?" he demanded.

"Do you think she jumped into the river?" the third guard questioned.

"No, we would have heard her if she did", he said with certainty.

"Looks like she gave us the slip. Let's double back and search the area."

As their voices faded, the figure stepped out from the shadows beneath the bridge. 'Thank the Maker for enchanted boots', she thought as she stood on the water's surface. She jogged along the river melting into the shadows and disappeared into the night.

Soooooooooo….. what do you think?
