Remnants of a Broken Memory

Defenseless

"So were forced to defend ourselves? With what? the sticks and stones theyve left us with?"

Soris was obviously angered about the situation theyd left us in

The humans never bothered to lift a finger to help an Elf, and even as the Darkspawn were on the march to denerim they continued with prejudice.

None of the humans even bothered to care for the Alienage. And so it was that we were left to fend for ourselves.

Soris was taking it the hardest. his wife was pregnant with their first child.

Just recently Vaughn Uriel burst into the Alienage during Soris and his cousin Darrians wedding.

He took all the women from the wedding party including the brides.

So Soris and Darrian broke into the castle slaughtering the guards while Vaughns father was away with the blight along with most of the guardsmen.

They slaughtered everyone and brought back the women.

Darrian had taken all the blame, and was recruited into the Grey Wardens.

Soris got away as Darrian left him completely out of it all.

"This is gonna be fun" i said with a slight grin in a facetious manner.

I was barely 19 and Soris and i had trained after the wedding for months.

I stood up and walked to the doorway of Soris's small house and stared out the window as the other Elves were putting up barricades and distributing what little weapons we had.

Lowly commoners facing the blight head on, but no one would remember them.

"Im going out for a bit" I said while leaving Shianni to listen to Soris's whining.

I didnt have time for his complaints, the Darkspawn were coming and there was alot to do before the Alienage was ready for the battle.
