Ferelden May Cry

Chapter 1: The Guests

The door opened and a blonde girl walked in the main hall. It was very spacy, stone-gray walls decorated with shining knight armors and weapons. There were two guard by the front door, and two by the side door. Two figures stand by the fireplace. As she was approaching, one figure spoke:

"Ah, Jade. So good of you to join us", Bryce Cousland, the Highever Teryn said,"Howe, you do remember my daughter?"

"Yes, I see she has grown into a fine young woman."

"I called you because I wanted to tell Fergus to leave without me."

"So Howe's troops are delayed."

A tall, black haired man walked in. He carried a sword and a dagger on his back.

"Ah, Duncan, come in. Jade, this is Duncan, and he is a Gray Warden."

"Hmm... Bryce, you never told me a Grey Warden was here. We didn't have time to... prepare.

"He just came. Duncan is looking for possible recruits. He got his eye on Ser Gilmore."

"If I may be so bold, your daughter is a good candidate too."

Bryce suddenly stood in front of Jade, with a protective tone in his voice:

"Although it would be a great honor, I don't want to send all my children to the battlefield. That is, unless you intend to invoke the Right of Conscription."

"Don't worry your Lordship, I have no such plans."

"*sigh* Well then, Jade, go to your brother and tell him about my delays."

"Very well, father."

She walked out of the main hall through the main door. Wind ruffled her blond curls, waving her hair like water. As she was walking past the main gate, she heard some shouting.

"What the ... ! You won't give me a place to sleep over? I walked for four days, and ate only some shitty sandwitches!"

"For the last time, you scum! YOU CANNOT ENTER THE HIGEVER CASTLE!"

Jade went to see what is coming on. A tall, white haired man was fighting with the guads. He was wearing a red leather coat, dark-green(?) pants and some kind of leather boots. On his back he was carrying a guitar case.

"Let him pass", she said.

Guards moved and let him pass. When he was just about to enter the castle, she stopped him:

"IF, he asks politely."

He grunted. "May I, PLEASE",he said that 'please' very hard,"enter the castle?"

He looked at her with his ice blue eyes. She caught his gaze, and stared at his eyes. There was something about him. Something, strange...

"Hello! Can I come in already?"

"Yes, sorry, I just... Nevermind. I will show you the guest room."

When she turned around, he checked her out. 'Wooah! She is hot!', the man thought.

"I never heard your name.", she said.

"Maybe because I didn't say it?"

"I asked for your name, if you didn't get it!",'He's got no manners! Why did I let him stay?'

"Well why didn't you say so? It's Dante".

"Dante ...".

"Just Dante".

"Well, pleased to meet you, my name is Jade".

She had a feeling that her life will change from this day on...

Well, that's my first chapther ever. I know it's not really good, far from 'artistic', but I will get better. I am a fast learner...

Anyway, R&R. Reviews keep writters writing!
