Chapter 1 Ruby in Thedas
Ruby didn't know where she was all she remember was going on a mission with her friends and now she was chain up. Just then two people came in both women, both wearing strange armor, both not looking happy.
"Tell me why we shouldn't kill you now." said the black hair woman "The Conclave is destroyed. Everyone who attended is dead, expect for you."
"I don't know what you are talking about!" yelled Ruby as she was trying to figure out what is going on however it seems to do nothing but anger the woman.
"Then explain this!" the woman said as she grabs Ruby hand showing her a green energy coming out of her hand. Ruby was horrified on what she saw her hand was light up and sparks coming out well woman had enough of her and was about to kill her, but she was stop by the other woman stop her.
"We need her, Cassandra."
The other can see the fear on Ruby face and knows she has nothing to do with "I'm going to the camp, you will take her to the rift." with that she left, and Cassandra walk to her and unchain her.
"So, what did happen?" Ruby asks
"It will be easier to show you." she said as she brought Ruby outside.
What Ruby saw shock her there was a giant tear in the sky.
"We call it "The Breach" it's a massive rift into the world of demons that grows larger with each passing hour. It's not the only such rift just the largest. All were caused by the explosion at the conclave." Cassandra said as the breach release some energy causing Ruby's hand to glow and causing her pain "Each time the breach expands, your mark spreads…and it is killing you. It may be the key to stopping this, but there isn't much time."
Ruby didn't have much choice and agreed to help Cassandra. She unchains Ruby and the two ran off to the other woman that Cassandra told Ruby her was Leliana. As the two were running Ruby can see many people praying or shouting the end is near however things change when the stone bridge that they were walking on got hit by the breach sending the two to the ground. When they got they saw that the breach shot something in front of them opening a portal for two demons. Cassandra brought out her sword and fought against one of the demons while the other demon was heading for Ruby.
'Crap what am I going to do!?"
She then notices a box full of weapons one of them was her scythe
'Crescent rose! I'm save!'
She ran to her weapon and pick and notice that it was fully ammo she gave a devilish smile and pointed the gun part of her weapon and fire her weapon, the demon head was clean off Ruby then turn her weapon back to a scythe and slice the other demon in half after the fight Cassandra pointed her sword at her.
"Drop your weapon. Now!"
Ruby got angry and said "You expect me to go and follow you while we're being attack and I built this weapon so I'm not going to drop. So back off!"
Cassandra didn't have a time for this and let Ruby keep her weapon and continue their journey until they heard people fighting
"Who's fighting?" Ruby asked
"You'll see soon. We must help them." Cassandra said as she ready her blade.
When they got to the fighting Ruby saw a tall bald man with pointed ears and a short man with a small pony tail fighting a group of demons that were coming out of a small portal. Ruby and Cassandra rush in and kill all the demons once the demons were dead the tall man grab Ruby's glowing hand and put in front of the rift that was releasing the demos just then a stream of energy came out of her hand and into the rift which cause it to close.
"What did you do?" she asked
"I did nothing. The credit is yours." he said
Ruby was breathless when she heard this.
"Whatever magic opened the Breach in the sky also place that mark upon your hand. I theorized the mark might be able to close the rifts that have opened in the Breach's wake and it seems I was correct."
"Meaning it could also close the Breach itself." said Cassandra
"Possibly (he then turns to Ruby) It seems you hold the key to our salvation."
"Good to know! Here I thought we'd be ass deep in demons forever." said the short man as he walks to the group he then turns to Ruby and said "Name's Varric Tethras rouge, storyteller, and occasionally unwelcome tagalong."
"Nice to meet you, do you work with Cassandra?"
This causes the tall man to laugh
"Technically I'm a prisoner, just like you."
Cassandra told him the only he was here being to tell his story to the divine and he was no longer needed Cassandra got even angrier when they were arguing Ruby was talking to the tall man.
"My name is Solas, if there are to be introduction. I am pleased to see you still live."
"Thank you, um why are your ears pointy?"
Solas was confuse on what she meant by pointy ears, he asks if she know about elves she nodded no he then he ask about dwarfs, qunaris, templars and mages she again nodded no. Solas was confuse how could this child doesn't know anything of this world. Just then Cassandra told the three of them to follow her to the camp. On the way to the camp Ruby was having a conversation with Varric and Solas.
"So where did you get that weapon?" Varric asks
"I built it I call it Crescent Rose." she then turns her weapon into the scythe form.
"You built that ha ha many would weep if you ever go to Orzammar."
"That is interesting weapon" Solas said "I have a question how did you got here?"
"I don't know I was in the forest when suddenly I saw a mirror and I felt like it was calling to me."
"Did this mirror had writing around it?"
Ruby nodded while not noticing Solats worry face.
'It can't be can it?' Solas thought
The group continue to walk until they saw the gates to the camp however they also saw a rift in front and demons were coming out. The group brought their weapons and attack the demons they kill as many demons as they could but more come until Ruby brought out her hand and the stream of energy close the rift and the others kill the remaining demons. Once the demons were dead the gates to camp open and the group enter the camp. They saw many people that were injured they soon saw Leliana talking with some guy.
"It seems you brought the prisoner." said the man "As Grand Chancellor of the Chantry, I herbey order you to take this criminal to Val Royeaux to face execution." Ruby eyes widen when she heard execution.
"Order me? You are a glorified clerk. A bureaucrat!" Cassandra said
"And you are a thug, but a thug who supposedly serve the Chantry!"
"We serve the most holy Chancellor!" Leliana said
As the three continue to agrue Ruby had enough and yelled "Will you guys stop there a big hole in thee sky shooting out demons!"
"Said the woman who kill everyone in the Conclave (he then turn towards Cassandra) Call a retreat Seeker. Our popostion here is hopeless."
Cassandra didn't agreed with the Chancellor and said that if they charge in it would the quickest route to the temple. However Leliana thought the plan was to risky and think it would be better if a small group go thought the mountains while the main army is fighting the demons. The Chancellor thought that their plans were insane and told them to retreat, they did not not listen instead they turn towards Ruby and asks her what should they do.
"What your asking me?"
"You have the mark." Solas said
"And you are the one we must keep allive. Since we cannot agree on our own." Cassandra added
Ruby at this point really didn't care on what pointed they take and told to take Cassandra plan and charge with the soilders, Cassandra told Leiana to grab everyone that was is alive and as the group was leaving the Chancellor giving them a ditry look.
{Front of the Temple}
When the group arrive they saw a rift and demons pouring out of it. The group brought out their weapons and charge in, Solas and Varric were firing from a distance while Ruby and Cassandra were fighting them head on until they reach the rift where Ruby pull her hand and close the rift.
"Sealed as before, you are becoming quite proficient at this." said Solas
"Thanks…let's hope it work on the big."
Just then they saw a man coming towards them "Lady Cassandra, you managed to close the rift? Well done"
"Do not congratulate me commander. This is the prisoner's doing."
"Is it? I hope th—wait the prisoner is a child!"
"Yeah it was a surpise to me to" Ruby said as she gave a little "Is the way to temple clear?"
"Yes the way to the temple is clear, Lelinana will try to meet you there."
Ruby nodded and left with the others following her until they reach what use to the Templer of Sacred Ashes. Ruby saw the destory temple but she the most were bodies cover in ash and their faces look like they were screaming Ruby was terrified."
"Yeah kid are you ok?" Varric asks
Ruby nodded no
"Have you ever a body like this?"
Ruby nodded no
"Do you want me to help walk pass these bodies?"
Ruby nodded yes and grad Varric's hand and help her walk though the plie of burnt bodies until they reach the center of the templer where they saw the biggest rift they seen so far. Just as they were about get closer Leliana with a group of soilders.
"You're here! Thank the Maker!" she said
"Leliana have your men take up positions around the temple." Cassandra said as Leliana follow the order and told her men which positions to take.
"So what do I do?" Ruby asks
"This rift was the first and it's the key. Seal it and perhaps we seal the breach." Solas said as the group headed to the rift. When they got closer to it they heard three voices one was a thick and dark voice, the second was a elderly woman crying for help, and the third one was Ruby. Just as they approach the rift it blast out a vision showing what happen before the temple was destory it show them elderly woman who was the Divine being held prisoner by the the person with the dark voice however they could no see the person only a blur of the just then they saw Ruby coming in ask 'what is going on' and blur being didn't like it and whoever was with him to kill her.
As the vision was over Cassandra took out her sword and pointed at Ruby "You were there! Who attacked? And the Divine, is she…? Was the vision true? What are we seeing?"
"I don't know!? And if your still blaming me maybe you should blame the guy that we just saw it seems he the one who started this whole mess!" with that she walk away from Cassandra and towards Solas "So I just seal this and it done, right?"
"Yes but this rift is temporarily close you need to re-open this rift and close it, however opening the rift will likely attract attention from the other side."
"Meaning demons (Solas nooded) ok then let's get this over with." Ruby said as she brought her hand as the energy beam came out re-opening the rift and bring out the biggest demon that Ruby have ever seen. Leliana soilders began to fire their arrows which did nothing just made the demon laugh. The group charge at the demon only to be to attack by lesser demons leaving Ruby to fight the big all by herself.
"Ok just imagine this thing is a grimm." she said to herself and she raise her weapon and charge at the demon. The laugh as it sees the child coming, it bring it arm up and swing at Ruby only to see the child use incredible speed and slash at the demon arm. The demon got angry and try to attack the child only to miss as Ruby was to fast to her as Ruby was fight the demon the others were shock on what they saw.
"Is it me or the kid is really that fast?" asks Varric as he was killing the last demon.
"No, the child was incredible speed." said Solas as he was healing the group.
'This child had this much power, why didn't she use to escape?' thought Cassandra as watch Ruby teaseing the pride demon.
Ruby was done playing and was ready to finish this, she jump infront of the demon face and turn her weapon into gun form and fire it causing the demon to lose some of it's face. As the demon was trying to keep standing Ruby was infront of the rift and began to closing it, as it was closing it began to suck every demon that was in the area until everyone was suck in and went back into "The Breach" slowly closing it.
"We…won…yay" Ruby was tried from all the fighting and collapse luckily Solas catch her befor she fall and carry her back to the camp.
