Hi Everyone! So of course I have to say all of this belongs to those lovely people in Bioware, I just own Lotari :D. Anyway, I just want to see where this goes, enjoy! And please review!
(Lotari POV)
"Get off of me you filthy cowards!"
I scream uncontrollably, lashing out at the man behind me.
"Maker will you ever shut up?" the dark one growled, but the other man only chuckled.
"You won't have to bear it for much longer Gremlin, Fenris will deal with her."
The two snorted with laughter, and I had the uncontrollable urge to scream. Do they know who I am? Who they will have to deal with once I get out of this place? And who is Fenris? Andraste's breath they sound fierce. A shiver runs through me at the thought of where they could be leading me, but I still myself, and look up with pride. I am better than this.
"Good luck knife ears." One of them got dangerously close to me, his hot breath making me gag. In seconds I was thrown in a pitch-black cage, gazing around me wildly.
So where was this Fenris?
As if out of nowhere, blue lights glowed in the shape of a man, and approached me.
"You…are not afraid?" Asked a surprised, low voiced man who continued to come toward me.
"Should I be?" I growled out, blowing my stark black hair out of my eyes. This is unbelievable! He better find me soon or I swear…
The man grumbled, and his light illuminated the place, making him visible.
Maker, he was handsome.
He had pure white hair, and blazing eyes, shadowed by his elf ears. He had a tortured look about him, and something told me we would be able to relate.
I sigh, shaking my head, clearing my thoughts. I try a different approach so I will not have to ultimately attack Fenris.
"Maker…Look, I have absolutely no idea where I am, who you are, and why any of these people in this blasted place think they can get away with this, but I will make this right. You won't be a slave for much longer, I promise."
"You…are ridiculous. Who exactly do you think you are?"
I smirked at that, deciding that my best bet would be to keep quiet about my identity. Although it certainly was only a matter of time until someone in this blasted Ferelden holdup recognized me. Until then I chose to play it safe.
"Just a stupid elf who found herself in the most idiotic trap known to man, holed up in maker knows where…" I frowned leaning against the wall until I was sitting on the cold solid floor," Andraste's flaming ass," I whispered to myself," the second I get everyone out of this place I'm going to beat that bastard senseless." I sighed. This was getting me nowhere. I raked a hand through my hair and smiled up at this Fenris man. Being as powerful as he looks must have come at a torturous price.
"Little wolf, is it? I'm Lotari."

(Fenris POV)
I nodded, trying to keep my eyes from watching her. But she was by far the strangest I have met in my short memory. Her striking eyes contrasted her black hair, and her features did not match her pointy ears in the least bit. Unlike everyone else in this damn estate, her eyes reflected pride. It terrified me.
"If you're truly curious, we are in Tevinter. Land of magic and slavery. Congratulations." I sneered. She acted like the world revolved around her, well in here, she was dead wrong.
I saw her face pale, and as she slowly put a hand to her face, her entire face fell.
"Tevinter," She hoarsely whispered, leaving me confused at her sudden mood-change.
"Where did you think we were? Ferelden?" I spit out at her as if the idea were completely ridiculous.
"Andraste's breath," she whispered again, shaking her head. For a split second, I saw pure desperation and terror flash through her eyes. It was gone in an instant, and replaced with a sly grin. The girl quickly stood up and stretched, making me instantly get tense. I was trained to attack for as long as I could remember, so it took much to hold myself back. Master would not be happy if he found his new prize dead at his feet. The woman noticed my movement, because her head quickly faced me and she reached for an empty space next to her. I presumed it was where she kept her weapon, and when she grasped at nothing, she looked surprised, and scared. Her eyes flashed to the space where her hand was, and soon anger filled her features. She huffed slightly and began pacing. I could almost see the gears working in her head.
Yes, this person was indeed the strangest I had ever met.
:~:
(Lotari POV)
I had planned on killing them all. All of these bastards who hurt my kind, and even humans! Tevinter, huh. Magisters. My fists clenched as the word sparked through my already exhausted head. My father was killed by a Magister. Denarius his name was, or I presumed. It was the last word that left my father's mouth before he died. He never was one for revenge, but this same man killed the rest of my immediate family a short time later. I was always gone, or I got hurt. Whatever the reason was I was not around whenever the attackers came. It could not be a coincidence.
"Do you know of a man named Denarius?" I asked, my back to him.
Suddenly I was facing him, my face inched from his, his hand glowing right in front of my heart. My blue eyes widened as I met his green ones.
"How do you know him?" He growled, pushing against me. I held back a smile. Big tough guy huh? It's on mister.
"Well I believe it was I who was asking the question, or am I mistaken?" I raised a cocky eyebrow at him, taunting him. Daring him. I was not afraid, and I needed to know why he glowed that way. Knowing my opponents strengths only heightens his weaknesses.
He growled at me, obviously not impressed, and pushed his hand into my chest, holding my beating heart in his hand.
Bloody hell it hurt.
But I kept my face unchanging, pushing my nails into my hand until they bled. I would not let him win.
"Lyrium brandings huh? Thought so." I said through clenched teeth and small gasps I hoped he didn't hear.
Well that apparently got to him. He released me immediately, thankfully keeping my heart in place. I fell to the ground, panting, my heart feeling dry and violated.
He looked at me in complete shock, which did not surprise me. He probably thought that his master was the first to try, but he was wrong. Denarius tried before, but he ended up killing all of his victims. My family including.
"How…how do you know about me?" He asked, clearly upset in some way. It hurt me to see he clearly went through this all alone, so my eyebrows furrowed as I looked up at him," You are not alone, you know."
He just looked away, clenching his fists. I even heard his jaw click. I wanted to explain myself, but soon the cement door opened, revealing a huge man clearly being used to intimidate us. I'm sad to say it did. It scared the bloody hell out of me, because I didn't have my dagger, my only protection. It felt like a part of my arm was missing, like someone just chopped it off without a second thought.
The man had a sickening look about him, like I was his dinner. I scowled at him, and soon his features turned angry, so he threw his arm out in an attempt to grab me. I quickly ducked under his arm and brought my foot up to the back of his neck, pinning him on the ground in a matter of seconds.
"That's more like it," I muttered as I snatched the chains around his belt and tied him to the wall. I grabbed the keys and walked out, but not before turning to glance at my new friend, who wore a shocked face.
"The tides have turned in this hell hole, Fenris. You should take advantage of it," I smiled a genuine smile at him before quietly sprinting down the halls.
I was going to find this magistrate, and I was going to kill him.
So, what do you think? Please feel free to leave a review! I have a whole bunch already written that I will be willing to submit, but I won't continue writing if I see i'm not getting and reviews, as I feel like I would be just talking to myself, hah :)
