Dragon age owned by bioware I only own my oc's.
*beep* *beep* *beep*
"What the hell" I mutter slowly getting out of bed. I reluctantly get out of bed and start my normal routine. Wake up, brush my teeth, shower, get dressed and get the day started. I hear loud noises of the city outside my window. Yelling, cars, police another day in New York. Harlem is a nice place but New York can be a dangerous place. I barely get my shirt on before I here knocking. I look at the door to my room on instinct. No one there I here knocking again this time with a voice. "Hey Miles it me let me in" Miles turns to the window and open the blinds.
"Dammit Marcus you scared the shit out me!" Miles yell open the window. "I have a door who use the window and the fire escape anyway jackass." he continue. the large Jamaican with short dreads enters the room and leans against the wall "sorry me do this so much it easier than the door" Marcus says. Marcus moved here from Jamaica when he was eight. I was the first one he met and two other we've all been friends ever since. "Whatever you lets go the other are probably on the way" miles say giving a hi five to Marcus.
We both exit down the fire escape to the street and start walking. As expected after an hour of walking we see two familiar guys. "Hey! What took you assholes so long me and Dexter been here for almost two damn hours." this DICK in the leather jacket and slicked back brown hair is Carmine. "So what took Marcus and my favorite native American so long to get here." Carmine say grinning. "Firstly its Miles not native American I would hit if we weren't friend damn greaser." Miles says returning the friendly grin. " Sup Dex you ready to go." I say to Dexter who pushes up his glasses and moves his blonde hair to the side. "Let go I'm starving let hit up the diner" Dexter quickly say walking slow and we walk next to him. Dex was always quiet but also smart as hell and apparently came from and rich family. But something happened and he's now living with Marcus and his bothers. He never told why he left but none of us ask all four have a past we refuse to speak on. "Something wrong Miles you have that look on your face when something is bothering you?" Marcus asked concerned. "Nothing just thinking about past bullshit is all" I say letting out a breathe "let just eat and see what we can get into today." Suddenly out the corner of my eye I see some sort of blue light flashing in the park.
"Hey am I the only one seeing this cause I may be going nuts?" "Like your not already carmine." Marcus says also seeing the light. "that intriguing lets investigate shall we." Dexter say his science nerd side coming out in full burst. "No." Carmine says "let me rephrase that, HELL no! that looks like some demonic alien shit and you want to get closer." Carmine yells not the type to take needless risk. We all turn to walk away only to here Dexter screaming we turn to see him sucked into the light. Marcus take off towards the light to save his friend with me and reluctant Carmine close behind. We try to be good guys but fuck with are friend we will make you regret it especially Marcus and me. We continue our charge into the light until it blinds us and then nothing. We were the in a black void were spotted Dexter just starting to stand up.
"What the hell. shit, shit, shit, did we die. oh god we fucking dead." said a panicking Carmine who then received slap to the head from Miles. " Dude clam down I know this shit is bad but you got to chill." miles say clamming down his friend. " there got to a logical explanation here?" Dexter says pacing back and fourth. What happened next took us all off guard. The black void turn into a bright purple "SHIT!" we all yell at the same time. "Be at ease young ones." Called a female voice from behind making us all four of us slowly turn around. I see three human figure staring us. the one in the was wearing some sort golden armor and had a bright light around his face making us unable to see his face. To left was a women wearing some sort of red dress. To his right was old man wearing some medieval robes that was blue and had the hood pulled over his head. They stood the staring and creeping me the fuck out. "um... who are you guy? Why are we here?" I say my fear starting to clearly show. "Clam yourself child as I said we mean no harm to you." the man in the gold armor says. There was something intimidating and yet kind and calming about him and the women both.
It was a few minutes of silence before it was broken by Marcus "what the fuck is going on here this is crazy!" he yells clear scared and upset at the situation. "will start with introductions my name is Andraste." We all freeze Carmine scream "huddle up now!" we instantly form a small circle. Don't judge us we do this a lot. We huddle up like to think or just to talk when things go tits up and wrong.
"this not real, cant be real" Marcus say his Jamaican accent coming through.
"dragon age this cant be dragon age" Dexter mutters
"Motherfucker she said her names Andraste." Miles said
"I swear I'm going to piss myself here. this stressing me out I my drop dead. which would be fine at this point."
"Carmine your starting to fuck up what little clam and confidence I have left you grease ball."
"Grease ball really Miles really." Carmine said no amused
"ok maybe we should let them finish." Dexter interrupted
"I'm with Dex let finish will bitch and panic later" Marcus purposed.
We break the huddle and let them continue. The man in the blue robe step forward to introduce himself. "I go by many names but in your world I'm known as Merlin." "He is also the one who got you here." the golden man said "Ok so she Andraste, he Merlin the magic legend, Ha next you'll say he the Maker." Miles choked out he looks up in surprise when he see's Merlin and Andraste grinning at him. "Ok huddle up!" I yell.
" OH FOR FUCK SAKES MILES YOU MOUTHED OFF TO A GOD!" Dexter screech
"Dragon age is a game how was I supposed to know the guy was real." said a horrified miles
"we could force them to send us back." Marcus suggested
"Are you smoking crack Marcus they are god level being." carmine says
"Go on and try the Maker looks like a badass. Man could probably rip your spine out through your mouth." Dexter said with a very concerned look.
"this is getting us no were lets let them continue. They gave the who now we need to explain why."
once again we break the huddle and let them continue. "Now then children we would know your names?" say the Maker.
"Miles Turner"
"Dexter Phoenix"
"Marcus Joseph sir"
"Carmine Vance and all around badass."
"A pleasure to meet you all." said Andraste. Damn you wouldn't believe how beautiful her voice is. Also how her eye had a way of clamming you. When she spoke it was like parent talking to a child. The Maker continues to talk "Let begin by say this is not a game I exist. we took because you fit. We wanted to give you four an opportunity at a new life." "we've watch four for a while. you four who have suffered, you four who are broken but keep going forward." Andraste speaks in a sad and sympathetic tone. I look behind me to see Marcus, Carmine, and Dexter all with their heads down. I sure were all think about our past problems. "worry not your past are your to tell when you wish. But the question will you four take this opportunity and the gifts we give you." Merlin said waiting for a answer. "I accept." we all turn to Dexter who steps forward. "I'm in as well". Miles step up. "If guy go I'm going" Marcus of course he go. "Dammit... fine no would accept Leather wear hair grease guy like me except you guy so fine let go I'm in." I'm admit Carmine surprised me. "Step forward Dexter" said the Maker Dexter does as commanded.
"Dexter your 19 you come a family that demanded perfection. trying to fill the shoes of one that is gone and you chose to leave. It take gut to be yourself and no one else." "Marcus." the Maker called
"Marcus 19 brave, strong, and protective of your friend and those matter. Yet I since so much anger in you not toward them but to your self and those you used to call family. But I can see it these three will not turn on you and leave for dead like them. Learn to trust like your friends trust you ." Marcus walks away next to Dex. "carmine"
"Carmine 20 year old you pretend to be a badass as you say yet you know fear and loss. she is gone Carmine understand what happened wasn't your fault the sooner you see that the sooner you can begin to heal." The Maker whispered to him and sends him over to the other. "Miles"
"Miles 19 year old the loss of both of your parent no longer affect but it did do damage. you don't wish to lose anyone so you take risk. like the time you took a bullet for Marcus. Please child don't risk for no reason you've lost your need for self preservation. There is still time to find your self worth." The Maker single handedly broke us all down. Like a true parent he didn't say what we wanted to hear but what we needed to hear. We turn around to see a portal open "Enter your new live start now. there will pain, struggle, but you my also find acceptance, and love. Ready yourselves for what's to come." He simply turned and walked away. "farewell/farewell" said Andraste and Merlin. we just stood a moment with a mix of awe and fear. Thus we four friend enter the portal to our new lives in thedas.
