They made it to the roof top. One final push. Kill the archdemon. And victory.
"Are you ready, my love?" Alistair asked.
"With you by my side? Of course, your majesty," Eliza said with a grin.
"I knew I'd regret this whole king thing," he chuckled before leaning down to give her a passionate kiss.
"Let's go kill us an archdemon," she said.
"Whatever my queen wishes," he said.
"Will you two hurry it along? The archdemon will think we are not coming to slay it," Morrigan said.
"Perhaps it will go back to the Deep Roads then," Zevran said. "Problem solved."
"These two? You picked these two to come with us?" Alistair questioned with a smile.
"Who better?" She responded with a grin as she checked that all her gear was still in place. "Zev, watch Morrigan's back. Morrigan, kill them all."
"Of course, fearless leader," Morrigan said smiling.
"I do so enjoy watching your back, my fair Morrigan," Zevran said smiling at her.
"She said watch my back, not my back-side, elf," Morrigan said, a small smile on her lips.
It seemed like the battle lasted for days, though it was probably just hours. But maybe it was days.
The sun was high in the sky as Eliza gave the archdemon the killing blow.
Eliza was on her knees, breathing heavily. Blood was dripping from her many wounds. Some of it was pooling on the ground in front of her. She hurt. All over.
She looked up to see Alistair and Zevran staggering towards her. They were leaning on each other so it was hard to tell who was helping whom.
Out of the corner of Eliza's eye she saw Morrigan off to the side. Alone. She waved and Eliza nodded, blinking as the sun got into her eyes. When Eliza looked back Morrigan was gone. Eliza wasn't entirely sure if she just disappeared or if that blink lasted much longer than she thought.
"It's over," Alistair said as him and Zevran helped Eliza to her feet.
"Now we can all live happily ever after," Zevran said. "At least until the next big, bad thing wants to kill us. But, let us not think of that now. Huzzah! We won!"
