AN: I do not own Dragon Age

Aedan, Wrex, Alistair, Morrigan, and Leliana arrive at Lake Calenhad Docks. There's a Templar in front of a boat who notice the group. He stares lustfully at Morrigan and Leliana while glaring at the others. Aedan walks up to the Templar and he says "Turn back access to the Circle Tower is blocked due to demons possessing the mages." in a bored tone of voice, continuing to leer at the women in Aedan's group.

Aedan ignores the looks the Templar gave as well as the order given to him, and says to him, "I am a Grey Warden and I need to get to the tower now to get the mages' aid."

The Templar scoffs at him and mockingly says to him, "A Grey Warden? I'm the Empress of Orla-"

Aedan's hand rushes to the smug Templar's throat and snarls, "Look you worthless piece of shit, you can take us to the Circle Tower, or I will snap your neck and go anyway! Live or die, make your choice" The Templar looks to the others begging for anyone to save him, but none of them show an ounce of sympathy for him. "Well are you going to take us to the tower or not?!" Aedan roars to him. The templar nods franticly and Aedan releases his neck and the Templar drops to his knees gasping for air. "Oh and if you look at Morrigan or Leliana like you were earlier again, I will have my mabari rip your throat out" Wrex growls at him to reinforce Aedan's the group reach the tower Aedan takes out a dagger and slits the Templar's throat and dumps the body in the lake.

Alistair looks at Aedan in shock and exclaims, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"

In a matter of fact tone Aedan tells him, "One I hate Templars, two I want the boat to stay here for when we get back, and three I don't trust him to not have others that would try to kill us when we leave the tower. Do you really think that he wouldn't do that, because he would."

Morrigan turned to Aedan and asked "Could I talk to you? 'Tis important."

Aedan took her out of earshot of the others and said "Sure what's wrong Morrigan? if you don't want to go in the tower you don't have to."

Morrigan shook her head at his concern."No. 'Tis the possibility that Flemeth's Grimoire is in the tower. If it is I would appreciate it if you would give it to me." Aedan looked puzzled at this.

"Why would Flemeth's Grimoire be at the Circle tower, and what is it?"

"'Tis a tome that holds many of Flemeth's secrets if I have it I can learn things that Flemeth did not wish me to learn. She believes that it was stolen and taken to the tower the very idea of it happening filled her with rage that didn't settle for months."

Aedan merely nodded his head to her."Okay if it is here I will get it for you."

Morrigan leaned in and whispered sultrily into Aedan's ear, "If you do I would be very grateful."

AN: I know it's probably not the best place to start the story, but I figured I'd start it at around the time you get the black grimoire and the relationship is already somewhat established. Rate and Review.
