(So you are aware only the prologue speaks in second person, so if you don't like second person read on because the next chapters will be in third person writing)

You are in Skyhold's bar listening to the bard sing her song's, it always seemed to relax you but then you see something that both disturbed and surprised you. What looked to be a Soldier of an unknown allegiance walked in wearing a mask that looked ordinary but for some strange reason which you couldn't put your finger on, it just seemed to disturb you. It seemed like an ordinary mask which was silver but it seemed to resemble a skull, but even so it still disturbed you.

Another thought then can to mind; how did he get in? Non Inquisition aligned Soldier's could not get in here, yet no one seemed to have given him any thought except you. You then decide that you want to get to the bottom of this, after all he might be an intruder and a danger, and as a Soldier of the Inquisition you could not allow that to happen.

The man sat at the bar and ordered a drink, you followed him and sat down next to him.

The man didn't pay you any attention, so you decided to start a conversation, " haven't seen you around here before."

The man looked at you and said simply" I'm new here,"

You didn't know what to say to that so instead you change the topic," you look like a soldier, who do you owe your allegiance to?"

The man replies bluntly "no one,"

That caught you off guard and you start to get even more inquisitive" So what do you fight?- I mean- you look liked your prepared for battle,"

The man look's at you again and say's " this world is a dangerous place, you can never be to careful."

It seemed to you this man kept dodging questions and you did not like that one bit, but you told yourself to calm down and just keep seeing what he will tell, maybe you just haven't asked the right question yet. " so, where did you get the mask, and why do you wear that in a bar?"

The man said" I like the mask, and why do you care where I got it from?"

You instantly knew that was the right question.

You frowned and said" because I like good stories, and by the sound's of it there is obviously a story behind that,"

The man looked at you and chuckled under the mask saying" you are a smart one I will give you that, your also one who just keeps talking and right now your talking too much." He was obviously annoyed by your statement.

You think for a moment and then came up with an idea" how about this, you tell me your story and I buy you a drink, or however many it takes to hear the full tale."

The man looks at you and you imagined he was frowning under the mask, he then point's out" your a persistent one, I like that you remind me of an old friend. " he then looked around and said" I will tell you my story, and you will get me a drink. But I would rather sit somewhere more private."

He was obviously hinting the fact that he didn't want the bartender listening, after all they gossip everything.

You agree to the term's and you both walk over to an unoccupied table in the corner of the bar and you say" so what is this story that your obviously trying so hard to hide?"

The man says in a strange and disturbing way; the same way that you felt when he first came in and you saw the mask for the first time " once you hear the story, you can never go back and you will never be the same again, this is your final warning before I continue."

Dispite your gut feeling telling you to run away now, you pull up the courage to say " I want to hear it,"

The man chuckles again and then says" so be it...it all started in Skyhold ..."
