1. Chapter 1

Cullen married his wife, Lena Marie Trevelayn nine months after the breach was closed and she became pregnant. Cole was able to discern the baby's gender, and he told them rather plainly. "You are going to have a daughter Lady Rutherford, but..." He trailed off with his thought.

Lena asked him, "But what Cole? Is everything going to be alright?" The spirit of compassion sighed and answered her. "You won't survive the birth Lena, and Cullen will raise your daughter alone."

In bed that night, they discussed possible names for their daughter and the only one that they kept coming back to was Angel. As the months grew longer and tempers shorter, things kept getting in the way. But that is the way of things being rebuilt. Lelianna was made Divine and worked to reunite the Chantry with the Templers and the Mages, like Justina did before the breach was opened.

Finally, after many treaties settled and things worked out, Lena went into labor and Cullen was there, sitting behind her and giving her encouragement when she needed it. Both knowing that she would die giving birth to their daughter, whom they agreed on calling Angel.

Once the baby was born, Len breathed her last and went to join the Maker at his side for ever until it was time for her family to join Him at the proper time. Cole was able to help her cross the Fade while the mid wife and healers tended to the baby, whose cries could be heard throughout SkyHold. The midwife sighed and said,"She''ll be needing a feeding soon Knight-Commander, would you like me to find a wet nurse for her?"

Cullen was numbed after having his wife pass on but he knew that his daughter needed him and he answered the midwife."Yes, I think it would be the wisest course of keeping the babe alive." The next day, Lena's body was given to the earth. Everyone who knew her as the Inquisitior was there as moral support for both Cullen and the baby.

Angel was being held by her father as he cried silently while the Revered Mother said the Chant Of Light over the body of the bravest woman who had ever lived.
