Finally things had come to a close. The blight was defeated and the Archdemon slain by the Hero of Ferelden. However, she wasn't alone in the battle. Many great people had given there own lives to bring an end to this nightmare and there sacrifice was finally meaningful.
With Ferelden without a King the landsmeet came upon the decision to place Alistair on the throne. He was the promising one but of course he was deciding against the idea until Ella had spoken to him. Now looking back, she never regretted a thing. Slowly turning her head to the side she smiled as she saw the future king of this fair land come and take his rightful place on the throne.
Alistair could not shake away the feeling of all the eyes looking at him as he knelt infront of the honored priest that put the golden crown to his golden hair, there was one look he found most nervous it was Ella his noble and loyal companion for about a ear now. He gave her a faint smile and he stood up and everyone cheered for him and he blushed a little hoping he would do good.
After Oghren had told people to shut it and have drinks he awkwardly waddled over to her and smiled softly "Hey Ella, ehmm nice to meet you, erhh I mean you where already here i meant only to say hi..so hi" he scratched behind his neck and blushed "Did it look good or?"
Ella couldn't help but smile. After a year of battling by his side his nervousness was always brought on whenever he was near her or within her presence. Crossing her legs she curtsey's to the now new King of Ferelden.
"That was great, your Majesty." she added with a wink in his direction.
He looked at her and smiled "Im so glad you think so, kinda funny this was more scary than the archdemon" he chuckled and winked back and grabbed her arm "You know im so glad you where there, if not i might have wet my undies" he laughed and blushed and looked to the people "They need us...even as the title king it dosent scare away enemies, I need you to stay Ella" He looked into her eyes "You know i can't lead"
"Well, how do you know if you haven't even tried?" she said as she looked to him. There was care behind those loving eyes. How could she say no. "You think you will be able to keep your undies dry if i say yes?" came the reply with a chuckle.
He laughed with her and his hazel eyes meet hers as he blushed softly "Well i cant promise anything" he pouted and looked to her with a grin and pulled her to the cake bufé "im starving and I know you want a cake! Its cake everyone wants cake" he smiled and took some apple pie with fresh cream.
She watched him as he took the plate and took a bite. "Your stomach always thinks for you, Alistair. For how long i have known you i know what your like with you strong cheeses. We really need to work on that one." Looking out towards all the guests she was glad to see some familiar faces. Oghren, Wynne, Zevran and of course Leliana. It was a special day to remember after all.
One of the lute players took his place on the side and began to play while Leliana gave off her beautiful singing voice. Ella looked to Alistair and gave him a knowing look. "Your Majesty, may i have the honor of having the first dance?" she asked holding out her hand as the band began to play.
The sound of Lelianas voice filled the room and he smiled to himself and when he heard her request he almost dropped his jaw and lost his breath and he smiled to her and grabbed her hand and kissed the top softly and gently put his arm around her waist. He felt her warm hand touch his as he moved along the music. He felt a bit awkward but he did enjoy it he just hoped he was good for a beginner and he smiled shyly "No one has every danced with me, big deal trust me" he joked
"Well i can proudly tell you that your not as bad as you say. Okay maybe a little." she said with a slight giggle. The music was soft as the only sound that was heard was of Leliana's calm and warming vocals. Ella remembered when she would hear the woman sing around the campfire while the others stood and listened. There would be a calm presence for everyone. Ella slowly snapped out of the memory as Leliana began to sing her most famous song. It was as if she knew what the Warden was thinking as she gave a smile her way.
He didint focus much on the songs more on stepping right he though maybe now as a king he would attend some balls and parties he hoped Ella would help him he surly need her support and friendship. He looked at her what a beauty he though but he would never dare to say that of course. He smiled softly and made a little twist and the hole room cheered and he grabbed her hand and kissed it again and smirked "Most pleasant MiLady!"
"Charmer." Ella smiled before she bowed to her King. "Not bad for a beginner, your Majesty." she said as she arose and gave him a knowing smile. "We will have you dancing like a professional in no time." It was nice to spend more time with him even though he was a King now but that didn't mean that there wasn't still the old Alistair in there. "What a beautiful sight." she muttered to herself as she looked into his eyes. Of course she wouldn't dare say it to him face to face as she knew there was far to much on his mine and he would be more occupied with the Kingdoms welfare than spending time with her but if he wanted her here then how could she say no?
He looked to his side and smiled a little "Well Milady..Its been a very big and long day..im glad both of us survived" he scratched the back of his head a little and looked to his throne "After all that drama and dance what happens next in this story? it will feel so empty without our dear friend Archdemon"
"Well.." She followed his eyes and looked up to the throne. "You know our friend might turn back and welcome us once again one day. The blight will return, we of all people should know that." A sigh escaped her lips. So many people had lost there lives because of this damn war. One day the Archdemon would return and slaughter more in it's wake. Would Ferelden be ready for another blight so soon?
He looked to her and sighed with her "I ..just want to have peace for once!" he almost complained and looked at her "But..when your around I know things wont be boring always someone who wants to kill you" he laughed and crossed his arms "Of course I would never let them" he smiled and blushed softly.
"I hope not!" she said while punching playfully on the side of his arm. "Besides, what would you do without me to battle at your side?" she asked. "Your not the only one who is important you know." Smiling Ella looked to him and saw his cheeks turn a slight shade of red. "Too much for you, your Majesty?"
He looked back to her and smiled softly "Hey! you know i get red, by errh the sun.." he coughed awkwardly realizing there where no sun he blushed more and looked at Eamon. He had always nagged Alistair to have a hair but a warden wast easy to repopulate and besides he diditn even have a woman by his side even though he wanted the one beside him now it was probably not even possible. He looked to the big gates and he sighed and a man entered and looked at him "Eh King Alistiar I have a letter for you!" He looked at the boy and grabbed the letter.
Looking to the letter Ella knew it was time to leave. "Well, the first act of King starts now. Go on, i will find you later." She smiled and said her goodbye before walking towards Leliana to compliment her on her vocals as she always did.
