After the burial early that morning, the scouts and soldiers went back to their normal routines while Cullen held his infant daughter in his arms. And everyone was there who helped deal with the Breach. And telling stories about her as well. And drinking in her memory. Iron Bull and the Chargers, Sera, Cole, Cassasandra, Blackwall, Dorian, Vivienne, Jospehne, The Divine and Solas. Varric was also there with the Seeker.
Everyone was there to provide support for the widowed father and his daughter when the wet nurse gently took her and fed her while the healer told that she was born blind, but will be a warrior one day.
Cullen swore and said,"Damn, I didn't even know that she was blind till now." Than, as an afterthought, he told the healer. "Lena had Scarlet Fever late within the pregnancy. Do you think it would have affected her as well?"
The healer sighed and answered. "Yes Knight-Commander, it would have affected her either way. She will have the aide of the Dread Wolf however. Along with the rest of the Dalish Gods and the Maker at her she will be a fine warrior one long as she learnes everything from dealing how to use a sword and shield and armor as well. I wouldn't be surprised if she went with the same style of arms and armor, just like her father."
Solas knew that if the Dread Wolf caught her scent, she would be protected by a group of wolves one day. And he approached the Knight-commander and asked him. "Would you like me to give the child a blessing Cullen? In the name of the Creators of course."
Cullen rubbed his neck and replied. "I wish you would Solas. To be honest, it frightens me to think that one day, she will be a warrior just like her mother and me. But, when she learns, everything has to be committed to muscle memory and she will also learn how to tend to her armor after a hard day's training along with her sword and shield."
Solas nodded in understanding and took the babe from the wetnurse and gave her a blessing in Elvish. "May the Dread Wolf protect you from any and all harm in your times of need little one. May He never lead you astray, and protect your heart from those who would break it. This is done to protect and guide you as the Creators will it and the Dread Wolf will come when called. Along with the Maker."
After the blessing was done, everyone within the room knew that the youngster was special, for she will become a warrior one day just like her father. However, there was a mark of the Dread Wolf that had appeared on her left shoulder. Clearly stating that she is now in the divine protection of the Dread Wolf Himself.
