*** DragonAge: The Story Of Lirana And The Ash-Kost***
Chapter1:
When It All Began
The door slams shut, the sound painful to the three left inside, a feeling of helplessness and loss rushes through.
"Daddy?!" The little girl places her doll down and runs to the door of the farmhouse but a firm hand grabs her own stopping her from going forward.
"Nothing you say will change his mind." The tall Qunari rumbles his usually bright eyes dark. The girl takes another look at her mother sobbing on the ground and her tiny hands form fists before she wrenches herself from the Qunari's grip.
The male elf she runs to is wearing traveling clothes and leading their best Ferelden Forder stallion to the young human woman standing waiting.
"Daddy! Don't leave us! Please!" Holding her hands out to him, she claps for a hug.
Ignoring the child, the Dalish male helps the woman up on the horse carefully before climbing on himself, he turns to his daughter, glancing down he speaks one sentence to her: "I haven't been happy since you were born. Why would I stay? I was better off in Par Vollen as a slave." His words strike her to the core and something inside her dies as one she trusted broke that trust forever.
With that he climbs on the horse and trots away without another look at his child and the woman he used to love who stumbles out of the house.
A heartbroken cry tears the through the air behind the child who turns to see her mother kneeling on the ground sobbing, the Qunari standing there not seeming to know what to do, so he places a hand on her shoulder. Seeing her mother brought to this hardens something inside the five year old child, she would never be the same.
After scrubbing her eyes, she walks up calmly to her sobbing mother and wipes the tears away.
"Oh whatever shall I do without him? I thought we were in love!" She sobs again.
"It's ok mama. We don't need him. I will take care of you mama, You won't ever be lonely. I'll get a job and support you."
"I'll never leave either of you I promfise on my life." The Qunari says softly leaning down to completely cover the two in a huge embrace.
GHer mother stares at her with watery eyes. "What would I do without you my brave little Lirana?" She says kissing the girls nose holding her child's face between her shaking hands.
They remained like that for a time, sharing their loss and taking strength from each other.
Despite all the pain, heartache, betrayals, and losses in the years to come, these three remained a family till the bitter end above all else.
