Chapter 2: "Mahariel's Sister Appears, and Darkspawn Killing."

Redcliffe, after Landsmeet:

(Luke's POV)

"Hell...I thought Redcliffe would have held against the assault..." I said, slashing apart one of the Hurlocks.

"We have very little hope of defeat, the Darkspawn die from a single punch." Alistair said, punching a Genlock and it fell dead.

"Prepare your arrows." I said my bow out. I finally named my Scout's Bow, which I got from Master Ilen before I left my Clan; I named it Head Hunter or HH for short.

Leliana prepared two arrows, Sten had his crossbow ready, Alistair was struggling to pull back his crossbow, Morrigan was preparing a spell, so was Wynne, Oghren had a longbow out, (that was taller than him.) and Zevran had his Antivan Longbow ready, with three arrows. "Aim for the heart, head, or beneath the arm." Alistair said.

"Now release Arrows, on the enemy, now!" I yelled, and our small volley had killed a platoon of Darkspawn. We were holding Redcliffe pretty well, and I had my doubts of this being the Horde...

"Darkspawn Emissary, Take cover!" Wynne shouted, firing a stone fist spell at the enemy. "Entrap him!" she said, in a spell-clash.

"Fire you arrows at will!" I yelled, firing two arrows each time.

Leliana's specialized poisons were doing massive amounts of area damage on the enemy, and with the grass being dry... I fired a flaming arrow into the grass, causing a massive fire. The massiveness of it was caused by flammable Ingredients in the poisons. "Hold fire...we got them...shit...Ogre!" I yelled, rolling to the side.

"Luke!" Leliana yelled, as the Ogre had suddenly grabbed me.

"Maximize your fire to the head! If I get hurt, I can get healed!" I yelled.

The Ogre soon fell dead, and for good measure, I slammed Shemlen Slayer into its ugly dark-blue head, and then its heart. "Well done...well done." I was breathing heavily.

"Luke?" Asked a voice I had not expected to hear ever again.

"Robina, is that you?" I asked.

"What are you doing here Brother?" Robina asked me.

"Well, I'm a Warden, this man in the Templar armor is the King, Alistair. The Red-headed woman is my bond-mate, the black-haired witch is Morrigan, Daughter of Asha'bellanar, the Giant brown-purple-skinned one is Sten, of the Berasaad, the Dwarf in Templar armor is Oghren of Orzammar, the other Elf is Zevran of the Antivan Crows, and the old one is Wynne, of the Circle of Magi." I breathed out somehow. "I am here to rally my army to a final march back to Denerim, not today but, tomorrow, at dawn."

"As in the Asha'bellanar, as in the one who is immortal, why would she send her daughter along?" Robina asked.

"The same, though it's very, very likely Flemeth is still alive and kicking it." I sighed.

"Well...you have changed for the better..." Robina said.

"Why aren't you with the Clan?" I asked.

"Well...I was exiled...for accidentally getting Merril into Blood Magic." Robina said.

"Not Merril...anyone but her, she was so nice..." I sighed.

Robina looked at Alistair, his eyes were transfixed on her...actually I have no clue where he's looking at directly, seems he has a crush on her... "Truly a pity...so bonded to a Shem...why?"

"Why did you have to get Tamlen into trouble causing him and me to go into the Cave?" I asked.

"We were only brawling, no one got hurt...except Merril who got in the crossfire by accident." Robina said, slightly embarrassed.

"Why is it whenever you are in trouble, Merril gets hurt?" I asked.

"You're dodging my question." Robina said.

"I love Leliana, as deeply if not more than I did with Merril." I said.

"I actually don't know why Merril gets hurt whenever I got in trouble..." Robina said.

"So...King Alistair, everyone else, this is my Sister, Robina." I said remembering they were waiting.

"You never spoke of her before..." Leliana pointed out.

"I thought she died long ago, before the Templars took her away." I said.

Alistair was probably shocked, but he had his Knight-Commander's Helmet on so it was hard to tell, "You're a Mage?" he asked.

"I am I inherited our father's great magical powers. I am what some might call, a true mage." Robina said, to show off.

"So...last I heard you tried to get Cullen around your finger..." I said.

Robina instantly blushed, "No...It was more of to help with the...needs..."

Alistair was more infatuated by the second, I could tell that much. "So... you wouldn't be a Virgin then would you?" he asked.

"Oh no, I am. Cullen was too stuck up in his Training to ever do that no matter how much I tried." Robina said.

"Now...I think we should get on to the Castle..." I said.

"Is Jowan still alive?" Robina asked.

"Afraid not, Eamon sent him to the Templars..." I said.

"Pity..." Robina replied.

Redcliffe Castle, that Night:

(Alistair's POV)

I had just sat in my room, and got comfortable when Robina had entered, I made no move to suit back up in my Templar Armor. "Yes?" I asked.

"I was wondering. Can Wardens have children?" Robina, asked, curious.

"Well...depends, if it's a Warden and a normal person, yes. Two Wardens however...no...The child will die before it's completely born."

"Well...that's depressing for two Wardens deeply in love." Robina said.

"Yeah it is..." Luke then came in, a frown on his face, it was on before he came in, I could tell.

"Alistair...about what Riordan said..." Luke started.

"The Warden doing the Final Blow will die, right?" I asked.

"Morrigan was in my room...and she claims to have a way to negate that problem…" he said.

"What is it, some sort of Magical Ritual?" I asked.

"It's a ritual, yes..." he scratched the back of his head awkwardly… "But the catch is..."

"Catch is what? Loss of a limb, become unlucky?" I asked.

"Sex...with Morrigan..." he said.

"So the choices are...be killed by the Archdemon, or sleep with Morrigan...how does one choose that?" I asked.

"I honestly have no idea...I guess I should have known Flemeth had this all planned." he said.

"I'll be in my room." Robina said, leaving.

"I...I'll take the Final Blow, Alistair." he said.

"No...I will do the Ritual." I said.

"Another thing...you'll have a child with Morrigan..." he said.

"Wait what? You want to impregnate Morrigan? You are joking right?" I asked.

"I wish I was...if you decline, I will do it, and hope Leliana won't kill me for it." He said.

I got up, and followed Luke into his room, to make sure I understand what will happen. "Ah, then it's decided?" Morrigan merely asked.

"No...He wants to be 100% sure about this." Luke said.

"What will you use this child for?" I asked.

"It will have an Old God's soul in it I merely wish to tap into that power." Morrigan said, as if this conversation was nothing at all, or as if we were talking about the Castle's decor.

"I...I will do this." Luke said.

"See? I told you you'd be crawling back." Morrigan laughed.

"I'll let Leliana know, what happens tonight was to save us..." I said, leaving, and bumping into Leliana.

"Oh hello Alistair, I was just heading to bed...why Morrigan is inside Luke's Room, why exactly?" she said.

"Well, according to Riordan the Final Strike must be from a Warden, and when it's done, the Warden dies...Morrigan has this ritual apparently that will prevent the death of the Warden." I said.

"And the Cost for the ritual is him to sleep with her?" Leliana asked.

"No...Luke will have essentially two families." I said just to let her know.

"That's the ritual?" Leliana asked.

"Yes...I was going to, but he changed his mind." I said.

"If it doesn't work...I will find and kill Morrigan for lying to him." Leliana said seriously.

"I don't doubt it, I'll be in my room...it's late." I yawned, and entered my room, to see Robina in it again. "What now?" I asked.

"I'm afraid of what will happen tomorrow." Robina said.

"We'll win, Luke is a Military Genius. Without him, this party would have failed early on, like during Ostagar." I said.

"You're being modest." She said.

"No, without his guidance I wouldn't have survived Ostagar." I said, seriously.

"I never knew he was so good at tactics." Robina said.

"I never thought Fereldan would stand behind a Dalish Elf, not to be harsh, but most Humans would rather be dead than follow an Elf. Course he killed most of his enemies..." I stated.

End of Chapter 2

(A/N: Well, I don't really expect this story to be much longer or least the Dragon Age section of the story. It's already over 40 pages I will go into some of Legend of The Dragon's storyline, but not all of it. And yes some is because I've not finished Legend of The Dragoon I'm almost complete with it.)
