Bioware owns everything…. :'( except LeeLani and other characters that I may introduce!
Sun and moon chapter 1
LeeLani moved quickly through the forest not stpoping to see if her captors were behind her. She moved with a speed she knew no human could keep up with using her hidden strengths in her favor as she has been doing since the start of this. She dashed past the trees, flew through the bushes her feet barely touching the ground as she tried to stay ahead of the slavers.
Daring to glance behind her she found two of the slaver's still on her trail, struggling to follow her path.
God damn Tevinters and their magical solutions. She ignored her disgust at their use of magic and began speeding up her pace. They mustn't catch her. She couldn't go back.
Hair flowing through the wind, she stopped briefly as she caught scent of something unfamiliar. It smelled strongly of elfroot and toxins unknown to her nose. Quickly she sniffed around attempting to learn the position of her new enemy.
"Halt elf!" LeeLani froze as the two slavers circled around her.
"You are Tevinter property. Surrender now and your punishment won't involve your beheading." She could hear the smile in the slaver's voice. Anger sparked within her and she felt her growl rise within her chest. "I am no one's property!" she screamed before turning and taking her dagger out on one of the slavers. She held the knife to his throat and gently brought in across his neck watching as the blood began to flow and the man started to gasp for air. She smiled at the nature of it, dropping the man to the floor to bleed out. Smiling she brought the knife to her lips and gently licked the blood from its edge. "Shall you be the next?" she asked unable to keep the crazed look from her eyes. She could feel herself losing control.
Then she felt it. The arrow had barely grazed her shoulder but it had touched her none the less causing her to scream out in pain and drop to the floor. She clutched her bleeding wound as it began to pulse and burn with the toxin that had entered her blood. She watched silently as two more slaver's joined their friend from behind, smiling at the success of their mission. They had caught her. And now she was going back. She cursed herself for being so foolish and stopping. Breathing heavily she searched again for the scent that had led to this, realizing that it had not left. She began looking for it source again, as the slaver's bound her from behind causing her to wince. Her vision began to blur.
She barely noticed when the slaver to her right fell, an arrow protruding from his back. She was just able to make out the sounds of quick footsteps dashing toward her taking out the other two, their bodies falling with an audible thump. They last thing LeeLani remembered before completely passing put was the two strangers that stood before her.
She woke up in the light of the camp fire, her eyes reacting fiercely to the sudden change of brightness. Night had fallen while she was passed out but she found she was still in the familiar setting of the forest. Rising slowly she took in her surroundings. A small fire stood brightly before her and to her left a small tent was sent up along the branch of a tree. Two shadows moved about inside. Whispers could be heard franticly being passed amongst whoever was inside. Slowly she rose up and crept over to where she could better hear.
"We have No choice Carver. We must take her with us."
"We cannot possibly escape with her. She's a Tevinter slave! Shall we have them on our asses as well as the dark spawn?" the man sounded adamant. She wasn't surprised the blight had everyone on edge. It was one of the main reasons she was able to escape the way she did.
"We can't just leave her in the woods to die!"
LeeLani tensed. She had almost died. Glancing at her arms she saw that a bandage was wrapped firmly around it. She felt no poison in her system.
"We have to!" the man yelled. She heard the woman growled in anger and leave the tent causing her to jump back with fear as they came into contact.
She stopped and stared at her, taking in her features. She had delicate blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, tiny wisps escaped though framing her face. Her eyes were a sky blue, reminding LeeLani of the world above, the one she had seen while she was running. The woman smiled. "I see you are awake." The man, Carver, ripped the flap to the tent open and joined his companion.
Slowly the women approached her but she shied away not knowing how to react.
"Quid est nomen tibi?" she asked with a smile and LeeLani felt her eyes widen in shock.
"You speak Arcane?" she asked unable to hide her voice any longer.
The women laughed. "Yes and it appears you speak English."
LeeLani nodded.
The women held out her hand. "I am Solissa Hawke." Hesitantly LeeLani took her hand. "This is my brother Carver." she gestured to the man behind her.
He glared at her. She returned it wondering what she had done to deserve this kind of treatment.
"Thank you for your help. I owe you my life."
Solissa waved her hand and scoffed. "What's a few more dead slavers to the world?"
Carver shook his head and sat by the fire. "Easy for you to say, sister." He began prodding the coals with a stick. Solissa joined him, still smiling up at LeeLani. "Care to tell us why your life needed saving…?" she stopped when she realized she did not have a name for her yet.
"My apologies," she bowed and moved closer to the fire. "My name is LeeLani."
"Well LeeLani, why were you running from the slavers?"
LeeLani looked at the two strangers standing before her, wondering and debating how much she could actually tell them. Finally she gave in and took a place by the fire, stroking it from the other side.
"I escaped from my master after some Dark spawn had attacked our camp just outside of Ostagar."
She watched as the siblings eyes widen.
"When was this?" Caver asked before she could continue on his eyes filled with an urgency she had never seen before. Curiosity peeked inside of her. "About a fort night ago. Why do you ask?"
He looked at his sister, pleading her to go on where he could not.
"Because everyone there died."
A/N I get the feeling we have a lot to learn about LeeLani. Just to clarify this is a character I had made up for the soul purpose of dragon age. Sort of a side story as to what happens during, and after the blight when it comes to some of the citizens. Let me know what you think
Arcane(latin) translation:
quid est nomen tibi?- What is your name?
