Denial chapter 1
They traveled the roads silently, the only sound being the soft scoff of her child's footsteps next to her as they scrapped across the dirt.
"Mama, I'm tired." The voice of her daughter broke into the night filled with exhaustion.
Ava looked around quickly, sending black tendrils of hair everywhere as they became loose from her ponytail. "Okay, sweetling. Come one." They moved off the road and into the wilds beside them. They went deeper and deeper until they were surrounded by nothing but green and stars.
Letting her bags drop to the floor, she began to set up camp while her daughter watched bleary eyed. When the tent and all was set up, Ava moved carefully to the fire pit. With her hands outstretched she began whispering words of magic and tiny flames began to spark from her fingers. Slowly the flames dropped lighting the tinder ablaze.
Satisfied with her work Ava smiled to herself and took her place by her daughter. The girl immediately snuggled up to her placing her small head on her chest. "Mama?" She was tired. All the days travel had taken its toll on her tiny 3 year old body. Ava had never meant for things to be like this. She never wanted to go through this herself but it seemed inevitable after all the events that had transpired in Kirkwall those many years ago.
Looking down at her daughter smiling sadly. "What is it, sweetheart?" Her beautiful green eyes looked dazed and heavy. "Tell me a story." She whispered in a sleepy tone.
Softly, she picked up her daughter and cradled her close to her body, wrapping her arms tightly around her as she had done so many nights before. "Okay my darling Necarrii. What story do you wish to hear?"
Necarrii yawned heavily in her arms and moved slightly to gain a more comfortable position so she can see her mother's face. "I want to hear about you and Papa."
"Again?" she laughed. She may act as though the story gets tiring but in truth it was her favorite one to tell. "okay." Leaning her head back she gazed at the stars remembering a story she could never forget. "Where shall I begin?"
"I don't want to hear about the monsters." She stated snuggling closer to her mother's bosom.
"Right. No monsters." She hugged her daughter closer and taking a deep breathe she began her story.
Ava exited the mansion followed closely by Carver and Varric both of which kept going on about how the handsome elf had been ungrateful and rude. She truly didn't care as long as he was safe. After hearing his story she feared what would have happened had she left him to face the slavers alone. She had failed so many others before, she was glad she could help him in any way that she could.
Exiting the door, all three of them turned the corner only to find Fenris leaning casually against the wall.
"It seems I can never escape the poison that entered my life." Ava stopped in her tracks. Looking at the man before her she took in his image fully. Bright green eyes, pure white hair. He truly was handsome. Even his strange tattoos enhanced his appeal. He looked as if any other elf would. So why was he talking to her in such an excusing way?
Her look of confusion spread across her must have been a serious give away because Fenris continued on his train of thought. "I saw you using magic in there." He moved off the wall and faced all three of them full on, a threatening glimmer in his eyes. "So tell me what is it you seek? Power? Fortune?" his voice raised in anger and Ava could practically feel Carver behind her wanting to say something. At least that the one thing she could count on Carver for, he would always have her back no matter their differences.
"I seek nothing but safety for myself and those around me. " she spoke with a kind of tone that she didn't even recognize. Fenris looked at her, emotions playing on his face.
"I imagine I appear ungrateful. If so I must apologize." He bowed his head toward her. "I am afraid I cannot pay you as you should be but perhaps I can lend you my services…"
"I'm planning an expedition. Your help would become useful- if you wish to accompany a mage."
He looked taken aback for a moment but quickly recovered. "Fine, then. I shall be here until then. If Danarius wants to reclaim his mansion, I welcome him to try."
They all watched as Fenris made his way back into the mansion. He had been completely rude to her and acted as if she was a demon waiting to attack and yet she was intrigued.
"Does he always brood?" she heard Varric ask Carver as soon as the door closed.
Ava shook her head and turned to them. "Honestly! You guys are unbelievable!" She turned back around and stormed off towards the mansion.
"Where are you going, sister?" carver screamed after her.
She ignored him and entered the desolate estate wondering what exactly she had planned.
