Walking into Skyhold Morrigan looked around taking in all she saw. It was indeed impressive. She stood in the court yard and took in the sounds around her. The clashing of swords and shields as the soldiers trained. The sound of chatter and orders being given. The fall of the smiths hammer and the neighing of horses. But then a sound caught her ear that stood out from the rest. The sound of an arrow cutting throught the air. She turned toward the main building only to catch said arrow in her left shounder. Seconds after another came landing at the bottom of her dress and another on the other side.
"Blasted!"

"I understand that Josephine but we. . ." Akasha was interrupted by a guard storming into Josephine's office.
"INQUISITOR! "
"What is it?"
"Come quickly!"
The guard ran from the office. Akasha and Josephine followed. They ran through the main hall to the front door. A crowd had gathered to watch the spectacular display of defensive magic Lady Morrigan was casting. Trying to deflect the arrows flying at her with her one good arm.
Akasha followed the line of the next arrow and groand.
"Damn It!"
She squeezed her way through the crowd and ran through the halls past a confused Solas and up to the Austuary.
"LELIANA!" She called searching for her spymaster.
She walked out onto the balcony over looking the court yard. There she found her. Quiver on her back bow drawn.
"Nightingale stop this. She isnt even fighting you back."
"I warned you about her Inquisitor. " The Orlisian growled.
"Empress Celene feels her knowledge could benefit us Leliana. Are you willing to risk angering our most influential aly over a ten year old fued?"
Leliana retracted her bow. She looked over her shoulder at the Qunari and frowned. She turned back to look at the witch and exhailed. She lent against the wall and shook her head.
Morrigan started to feel drained. The field wasnt going to hold much longer. She saw the two figures at the top of the main tower. She lowered the field and watched. She exhaled sharply as the spymaster retracted her bow. Her good hand went up to grab the arrow shaft in her shoulder only to have another embed itself into the right side of her chest. She collapsed to her knees from the pain.
"Mother?"
The crowd gasped as Akasha and Leliana made their way through the crowd and down the steps. The two stopped infront of the mage and were startled to see a young boy with her. His saddened eyes looked up at the two women. He looked right into Leliana's eyes.
"Why have you shot my mother?"
"Mother?" Both women asked in tandem.
Kieran placed his hand over the arrow in Morrigan's left shoulder.
"Mother this is going to hurt but I have to heal it."
Morrigan weakly nodded to the boy. He broke the fletch off the arrow the pushed it the rest of the way out of his Mother's body.
Morrigan cried out in pain and the arrow tip pushed through her back. Kieran slowly pulled it out and began to heal the wond. Morrigan lulled back and forth from feeling dizzy. Kieran's magic warmed her skin as it healed the wond.
"Mother this one is going to be harder to remove. Will you allow the Inquisitor to move you?"
"Tis impolite to assume things Kieran. I am sure the Lady Inquisitor has other things to do."
Leliana crouched down infront of the kneeling witch. She grabbed the shaft of her arrow and pulled hard dislodging it from Morrigan's chest. The brunette let out a pained growl glaring at the red head. Her yellow eyes tearing up. Leliana lent in closely to whisper in her ear.
"If you threaten anything we have hear Morrigan I will kill you myself." She stood up and walked back the way she came. Kieran had his hands over is mothers bleeding chest as soon as the spymaster moved enough for him to get to her.
Morrigan's eyes never leaving the woman's retreating form.
