How the Cycle Continues

"Another creepy cave. Why cant we go anywhere nice Briathara?" Dorian asked as we went though the 'creepy cave' though it was really an old ruin.
"Because the Venitori didn't get our request for nicer hidouts." I replied back to him.
"Goning though this stupid, smellly cave better be worth it Inky!" Sera yelled from behind.
We were looking though some of the caves on the far edge of the Dirth or Exualted Plains as the humans call it. It had been nearly six months since we stopped Corypheus and things were slowly getting back to normal in Thedas, that was made easier with the help of Leliana excuse me Divine Victoria who's been a great help repairing relations with people and my fellw mages.
"Ok it looks like we're clear Dorian why don't you go check out some of those side tunnels, Sera why dont you go and search ouround the living areas." They nodded and I continued further into the tunnels. After poking around for a bit I managed to stumble into their records archives for this particular hidout. Since it was abandoned most of the records were gone though some stuff was still usable.
I had put what I could use and stuffed it into my pack and turned to leave. I didnt get far though as something struck me in the back of the head knocking me to the ground. I tried to get up but whoever did that moved quick enough and had my hands tied behind me before I could cast a spell!
"Well that was easier than I expected. It seems without Corypheus you've gotten slow Inquisitor." A female voice said as I was pulled off the floor to my feet.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Honestly thats not importaint what is though is that with you here we can try a lttle spell." She said motioning for whoever was holding me to fallow her.
"What spell?" I asked slightly nervious when I saw that these were Venitori mages.
"You'll actually already farmiliar with it though we've made some... well adjustments." We finally stopped in a large room that had a skylight out into the evening sky. I was brought to the center of the room and dropped to the floor.
"You will not get away with this." I said standing up. "My friends will be here soon."
"I doubt that we are not the only ones here they are quite busy right now elf. Besides we need to get started." She said with a smirk. One of the mages walked up to her and handed her a farmiliar amulet.
"No. It cant be I destroyed that!" I said in disbelief.
"Oh you did but your agents didn't destroy the notes. Seemed to be in a hurry getting the mages out of Redcliff." I inwardly cursed myself for not checking better. "As lovely as its been seeing you inquisitor its time to-"
"If I were you I'd drop that pretty necklace!" I heard Sera yell from behind the leader of this group as an arrow flew past her.
"Stop them!" She yelled and several of them started attacking Dorian and Sera. I wanted to help but the bindings they used were negating my magic. They were doing great until out of nowhere several deamons had appeared and were aiding the Venitori.
"Now where were we? Ah yes I hope you enjoy your trip Inquisitor we'll be sure to take good car of the the inquisition for you." She said with maliace in her voice and channeled magic though the amulet. I could feel the pull of the vortex behind me before I was pulled off my feet.
"Bri!" Dorian yelled lunging to reach me but it was too late. All I was able to do before blacking out was get the bindings off and then nothing.
