Chapter 1:
"Roxanne." I walked into my father's office.
"Father."
"Come meet Danarius, your fiancé, he's been dying to meet you. I was hoping to talk you into planning for the wedding."
"Of course father, it's a pleasure to meet you Magister Danarius."He took my hand and laid a kiss upon it.
"The pleasure is all mine, and please, its just Danarius to you."My hand felt as if it withered at his touch, it felt strangely wrong. I had just met him and my body was already reacting badly.
I was pulled out my thoughts when he led me out of the room and talked at me. I wasn't listening though, I was staring at a elven man leaning against a wall hair was snow white with tan skin and tattoos… made of….. lyrium? He was lanky with a greatsword decorating his back. He kept his head down as he joined us, next to me behind Danarius. He seemed so familiar….
It suddenly hit me, he was the lyrium ghost. The most powerful slave in Minrathous, he could stick his hand in your body and crush your heart. Yet, I wasn't afraid of him walking next to me. I felt, comforted… when he walked up? What was up with my body lately?
A week later:
Danarius had been taking me out every day for the past week, with his elven guard. I didn't even know his name yet, his presence would comfort me. It was strange and I didn't even know why it comforted me. I brushed past him in the hall and felt small tingles on my arm, and I wasn't reacting to the lyrium either. Am I going mad?
Danarius surprised me with a trip to Ferelden, for a month. I did not want to be stuck with him for a month. It was an arranged marriage I wasn't happy with, plus, he gives me a bed feeling every time I'm near him. I was glad to be in Ferelden though, I grew up there. It reminded me of when my father was a good man.
My father was a man who was selfless and put his family first, that changed when he went missing for 3 weeks. I wanted him back, not this stranger who disguises as my father. Sometimes, I get glimpses of the man he used to be. Those glimpses are what gives me hope that somehow, he could go back to being my dad.
Author's Note: Sorry this first chapter is REALLY short. I wanted to get a feel for what is going on and a bit of Hawke's past. I don't even know if anyone will read this, but if you do, can you send me some feedback? It would be appreciated since I haven't wrote anything in a while.
