Bellatrix opened her eyes and saw Borias, they both were sleeping in the same bed. She know that she needs to move, need to keep going, but the pain of losing both Pelias and Cassandra, made her want to die. But she know that no matter how much she cry, it won't bring them back.
Since the explosion, everything went to Chaos, templar and mages, demons, the Divine, the Conclave, all decided to suddenly kill each other instead to look for salvation, but perhaps this is the Maker punishment, Perhaps they all are paying for their sin, whatever they may be.
The Chantry is probably in aproar by now. Bellatrix slowly got out of the bed without waking her companion, dressing in her Seeker Armor, she sat down to write a letter to Borrias, telling him that she shall return to her mission and thanked him for finding her, and that she shall Return briefly to the Seeker Lucius, to see how the templar doing. After all it was Seeker job.
Finishing her letter, she slowly left her room and gently closed the door, before heading towards the bar keeper telling him to make sure that her Companion will have a full rest and a breakfast when he woke, leaving behind a large set of money to pay for it, she moved out of the tavern and towards the stable where her horse Frost , a white war horse, mounting her horse she turned and spurred her horse into gallop out of the village, toward the hills.
Galloping through the forest , she saw sight of fighting, broken caravan, dead horses, and men, eather stabbed or killed by magic, it looked like a fight between Templars and Mages took place here. She slowed down her horse and slowly made sure to pass the battle unseen, keeping alert for Templars or Mages in this area.
Her eyes scanned her surrounding, her shoulders tense, and her body ready for anything, her one hand lay on her sword while other still gripped the rains. Suddenly she could hear nothing, everything was to quite. She stopped her horse by a dead tree that looked like it might have been a beautiful strong tree. She jumped out of her saddle, and took out her sword, as her eyes and ears were listening and looking for the enemy, she saw no one, but her battle instinct were telling her that something was her, just because she could not see it , did not mean it's not there.
Suddenly she felt air behind her move , instinct took over and in one move she used her sword, burying it behind her into something soft and squishy, a soft gasp of pain told her that she hit her mark, as she took back her sword and in one turn beheaded the opponent behind her fast and clean. She was quick to pry the sword of her enemy before whipping around to clash steel. With her other sword she slashed at the enemy giving him a big slash on his tunic, a blood pouring out of the wound, yet the man come at her again, slashing at her sword that she stopped by crossing both of her swords from beheading her, she could see that this man from a Templar order, but something was wrong with him, she could see a red glow on him, his eyes were red, and showing insanity, and hatred. What ever was affecting him did not sit well with the Seeker. Just by blocking that one strike from him she could feel the strength beneath his strike. She used her Seeker abilities that she could tell took this man by surprise as his eyes widen in agony, as he fall to his knees screaming, using the momentum she thrust her sword at his chest, impaling him through the heart. Putting one armoured boot on his chest she took out her sword from his dead body. She looked around herself to see anymore of rogue TEmplars, but found none. IT was only those two, perhaps they were scouts. Putting away her sword, she knelt down beside dead templar, she still could see this red glow, and she looked closely at his armor she saw piece of red stone carved into it. Narrowing her eyes, she took out her dager from her belt, and carved out the small red stone, into her palm, as soon as she touched it she could feel something sinister from it, she could feel power and something else, but what she did not know, for one thing she did know was that this is red lyrium, but why was it with this templar, on his armour no less?
She remembered with a pang of sorrow, that Cassandra told her about it, about the dwarf and expedition that went into deep road that found some kind of idol made of this red lyrium which made Meredith lose her mind, it was dangerous. Lucky for her, it had no effect on Seekers. Which Bellatrix was glad for.
She looked back at the body of dead templar, trying to see if she could recognise him, but she did not know this man, it's true she know lot of Templars, since she worked with them all the time. Whoever this young man was, perhaps he was a new addition to templar order. If so, then something must have gone wrong with the Order itself, she tried to remember if anything suspicious was going on when she was there. But she could think of none. This was making her worry for Borrias, did he know of this? And red lyrium? Where did this man get it from? Who give it to him? For Those questions she has no answer.
She must return to Order, to see if it really has fallen apart as the rumors say. She slowly stood up and went back towards her horse, mounting her horse, she continue her journey. She is going to get her answers. Someone must know who supplies the red lyrium to Templars.
And when she will find those responsible, there will be nothing else of them she will make sure of that.
