The man's axe sliced down ready to cleave me in half, I would never see Adstel again. My brother, my precious brother all the time we spent fighting for those who are about to kill me. Have vengeance my brother, may these sons of bitches die when they taste your blade.
The man suddenly gasped, my brother appeared behind him his sword in the other man's chest.
"Honestly Jennia would you mind trying not to get killed?" he smirked.
He helped me to my feet and we ran to storm the fort, with everyone dead it wasn't hard.
Once in the tower we saw carnage, our brethren lay strewn, footprints leading us on a bloody treasure hunt.
We saw him, his sliver armour glittering in the light from the beacon.
"No!" My brother and I hissed in unison, again in unison we charged.
The man killed most of our men quickly, his armour repelled almost all blows.
I swung at him with my heavy two-handed blade but it bounced off, my brother lifted his shield but the man ducked. He knocked us both back with a swipe of his sword, as he lifted it to spear us we rolled aside that's when I realized we had to work together.
"Adstel, smack him with your shield!" I yelled.
"In case you forgot we tried that it didn't work." He yelled back.
"Don't be an asshole just do it!"
I crept behind the man and waited, my brother did smack him with his shield. This time it hit and I raised my sword as he staggered, driving it forward I speared him directly through the chest.
He fell to the floor, dead and we ran to the beacon and put it out.
"Duncan!" a voice was behind, it belonged to a tall girl with auburn hair and green eyes. Standing next to her was a tall man with coppery blond hair.
They both attacked at the same time I took the girl and my brother clashed swords with the man.
The girl tried to slip past my guard but I eventually slammed her against the wall.
"You need to learn who not to attack little girl!" I hissed.
"You talk?" She gasped.
"Of course I do!" I snarled and chopped her head off.
"Brodie!" The man cried, my brother dropped to his knees.
"You killed my brother!" I yelled.
I charged at him and killed him before he could move. Then I hugged my brother to my chest.
"Jennia, go." He gasped. "Protect Bethany."
"Adstel, we can get you out, Beth could heal you." I sobbed.
"I would survive, go." He exhaled his last breath.
I spent a few minuets just sobbing, then I realised I had to be strong. I had lost one sibling.
I wasn't about to lose another.
A\N - This is a kind of other side as the name suggests. In case anyone is confused this is swapping roles so Duncan takes the place of the ogre on the tower, Alistair and Brodie are the overrunning darkspawn and my main character and her brother are Grey Wardens who became darkspawn as detailed in 'The Calling'. Bethany is an emissary, obviously namesake to Bethany as in Hawke's sister in Dragon age 2. I'm planning a sequel if you guys would like to see one just leave a review or send me a private message. If you've read my novel The Ultimate Sacrifice you'll know that Brodie-May is my kick ass heroine who you don't want to mess with.
