Ten years ago, I never would have seen any of this coming. Everyone believed the world was ending, but all I could do was stare at the magnificent hole in the sky. Everyone called it "The Breach". It was a hole in the sky that opened fade rifts all over Thedas.
Of course ten years ago I hadn't expected a Blight either. Nor did I expect that I would be pulled from the Circle of Magi only days after my Harrowing to help the Grey Wardens defend against the Fifth Blight at Ostagar.
Remembering Ostagar used to be painful, along with missing all my friends from the Circle. But between my fellow Wardens (Alistair, Kira, Selene and Leila) and our companions it made everything bareable.
The Fifth Blight seemed so long ago. Of course it was ten years, but it seemed longer. All my friends were having families now. Alistair became King and married Leila, but that was something everyone at camp saw coming. Kira, the city elf, ended up being with a city elf gone Dalish. Selene, the Dalish elf, lived two lives with kids and the loves of her life. I, on the other hand, sent Jowan to prison forever. Of course I got visits, but we would never have a life. The other man in my life was a templar. Choosing to be with him would send the mages and templars in an uproar or it could unify them.
