Lost

by The Winged Cat

When the Dragonborn falls through a portal in the Nordic ruins of Jorundr, she finds herself in a world not too different from her own. In order to find her way home, though, she must travel all over a strange land with the last Grey Wardens, and face an enemy perhaps more terrifying than the World-Eater.

1. Prologue

"Do I really have to stick my hand into that messy creature? Isn't there some other way to get the blood for the Joining?" complained Daveth to Alistair.

Alistair rolled his eyes. "Well, if there was another way, I would know about it. Ask Duncan when we get back to Ostagar."

Daveth groaned at Alistair. Araey chuckled at the comment. Ser Jory raised an eye brow at her. She knew he hadn't gotten over the fact that she was a woman and a Dalish elf too. She returned his look with a bit more exaggeration. The mission was already halfway done and she felt wearier than the rest of the party looked. She cursed the blight disease that weakened her body.

When Daveth was finished trying to gather the darkspawn ichor without soiling his armor, Alistair started them on their way to gather the documents. Araey fell in line beside Daveth who stared at her like a diseased specimen, which she unfortunately was. She tried to ease the tension, but thankfully Jory asked Alistair, "Where exactly is the Grey Warden fortress?"

"Yeah, all we know is that it's somewhere in the Wilds." Daveth said. "It would be nice to have an exact location once in a while."

"It should be up the hill somewhere over there," Alistair said while pointing to the left. "Even I don't know the exact location. I've never been there."

Why does Duncan want us to get these documents if they're just old treaties?Araey pondered this. She opened her mouth to ask Alistair but wound up dropping it even further when a dark figure fell out of the sky.

"What was THAT?!" Alistair's face showed pure shock with ditto expressions on the rest of their faces. Jory was the first to run toward the area the figure fell. Outrunning Jory wasn't as simple as it was before she was blighted, but she still managed to make it there before him. She was surprised at what she saw.

The figure was obviously female with a petite, lithe body. She was wearing a set of dark plate armor without a helmet, giving Araey a good view of her face, which is what stunned her. The woman sprawled on the ground had the tail and face of a cat.
