Naruto POV
I walked down the rocky and icy path toward wherever we were going. For safety reasons, I had my E.M.S activated and Death Queen on my back. I was a little nervous that the ice would crack and I would fall in. While I could body flicker out before I got wet, it would be a major pain to pull everyone else out. Snow to the left, snow to the right, snow everywhere! My goal now is to reach the forward camp.
"Lesser Shade, seriously?" Two of them at that. The Shades took a little more work but these green ghost things took one strike and then turned into black dust. My guess is that when demon are "killed" then they go back to the fade but don't die. My theory is that if it turns to black dust then the Shinigami just got one tasty treat. I got hit once. I don't think it did anything but it hurt, a lot. But we are on a time limit. So we kept going. But I did get some elfroot. But only if it was five feet in front of me. Other wise I just made some shadow clone.
Veric asked me, "So are you innocent?"
"I don't remember anything"
"That will get you every time. Should have spun a story. More entertaining and less likely to lead to premature execution."
I closed another fade rift that was by a gate. And apparently, people listen to Cassandra rather well. I don't know if its fear or respect. Probably both. Another door opened. A bridge with a supply cache. And a chest filled with loot. A magic staph. I could use it. But that would be a pain to learn. Then I have to learn it again in full sunsanoo.
Talk about pain in the but. I saw The woman named Liliana, I think. and with him is a politician.
"Ah, here they come."
"You made it. Chancellor Roderick, this is-"
"I know who he is. And as Grand Chancellor of the Chantry, I hereby order you to take this criminal to Val Royeaux to face execution."
Cassandra spoke up. " "Order me" "You are a glorified clerk; a bureaucrat!"
"And you are a thug. but a thug who supposedly serves the Chantry!"
Liliana intervened before things got nasty. "We serve the Most Holy-"
"Justinia is dead! We must elect a replacement. And obey her orders on the matter!"
'My turn' "What about the breach? If that thing grows too much, we are all dead. So go be a dick somewhere else. We have a camp to go to."
"And you started this mess! Call a retreat seeker. Our position here is hopeless."
"We can stop this before its too late." I didn't say anything; yet. Liliana was silent too.
"How? You won't survive long enough to reach the temple. Even with all your soldiers."
"We must get to the temple. Its the fastest way."
Who knew this could be so fun to watch? Liliana added her opinion. "But not the safest. Our forces can charge as a distraction while we go through the mountains.
Cassandra looked like she had seen a ghost. "But we lost an entire squad on that path. Its too risky."
Chancellor Roderick, A.K.A, Chancellor Dickhead. Bitched even more. "Listen to me. Abandon this before more lives are lost." As if on queue, the breach started growing again. It no longer hurt a lot but My hand started to move on its own. And glowed a disturbing green. Again.
"How do you want to do this?" Cassandra asked me that question like I new the answer. I did but no matter what I chose, people would die. "(sigh) I say we take the mountain path. Note that I do not like either options. I just want to help, not die, and close that thing."
"Liliana; gather everyone from the valley. Everyone.
Dickhead again. "On your head be the consequences seeker."
And so it began. We started the technically short, but felt like long walk through the mountain. We came across what looked like the outside of a wall mine. With stone and wood to boot. And a lot of ladders. That was annoying. The path lead to a tunnel and outside of said tunnel is the temple. Where I am supposed to go. I met a few shades and a wrath. But if you hate them; kill them. (lol) "hmn. Dark, candles, and stone. Yep, mine."
"On the outside of the mine, we found bodies of dead soldiers. But only seven. There should be a lot more. "So the others will be up a head?" Veric. "Only one way to find out." I said. We can do that later. No one is safe out here until the breach is sealed" Solas. And I think I found the breach. Or at least, the part on the ground.
But first the fade rift that is right in fromt of me. Two wraths, and three lesser shades. Could be worse. Killed them and sealed the rift. I was complemented by Solas on how I become proficient in sealing rift. But Veric said, "Let's hope it works on the big one." We also saved a few soldiers who could really use a break. And we gave it to them. "Down that ladder. That is the way to the temple." Cassandra. Ladders are fun. But later. I walked down a wooden path. The only reason you could tell is because there were lines in between the snow where the spaces between wood planks are. "Wow. those are some big rock. And why is there green everywhere?" Veric. "I agree." I said. I kept walking until I saw the land part of the breach. Apparently this place is called the Temple of Sacred Ashes.
I just came within 15 feet of the breach. Cool yes, but the red lyrium here creeps me out. And its in big crystal from. Nasty. I also found a lot of bodies. Some in better condition than others. "This is your chance to end this. Are you ready?" Cassandra. "Can I even get up there?" Thank the Maker for Solas. "No. This is the first rift. Seal it, and if we are lucky we can seal the breach itself." Now we move.
I got down there. And big, green rift that was the size of my apartment. While it wasn't very big, that's a pretty big rift. But then, a flashback happened but everyone saw it. I wasn't in any trouble but that was very helpful. "What we all just saw was echoes of what happened here, The fade bleeds into this place. And this rift is closed but not sealed, but it is closed... albeit temporarily. I believe that with the mark we can open the rift, kill whatever comes out and seal it completely. Solas again.
I opened the rift and with it came a fucking PRIDE DEMON! I didn't dare fool around. I got full sunsanoo and death queen. Easy to defeat yes, but god damn that thing is tough. It took SEVEN slashes Death Queen, one shield bash and a solid punch to the face. "Alright, I give up. This is going to be a pain to fix. Oh well? I NEED EVERYONE OUT OF THE WAY! IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE ALL DEAD. NO GO!" Some didn't listen but they did after they saw something that could kill them faster than any demon could as well. And at least demons leave a body. This jutsu has enough blades and power to kill you on a cellular level. I launched it right at him. It hit him in his chest. He also went flying. But eventually, the rassenshuriken collapsed then expanded and all that was left was a vacuum that sucked a few shades and a terror demon. They, got turned to green mush. Then vanished into the fade. "Now! Seal the rift!" And I somewhat did. I did not have enough power to seal it but I stopped it from growing. So that's good.
For once, I was out of chakra. I'd be fine in the morning but damn it hurts! "Well guys, I did my job. Solas, you're on carrying duty." "What?" And I passed out.
"Ugh, my head. Note to self: Do that only when desperate." I saw an female elf. That was startled and carrying a crate that had.. I have no idea. She dropped it. "Oh! I didn't know you were awake, I swear!" Hey, hey, slow down. It's ok. Relax you did your job just fine. Now, where am I?"
She got down to the floor. "I beg your forgiveness and you blessing. I am but a humble servant. You are back in Haven, My Lord." In a caring voice, I said, "Relax. Again you did just fine. Now where am I supposed to go?" "They say you saved us. The Breach stopped growing, like the mark on your hand."
She looked up slightly. "Its all everyone has talked about for the last three days." "(sigh) Then the danger is over. We're safe. You're too quick to bow. I don't believe in subjugation. So come on lets go." I said with a smile. The breach was still in they sky, but that is what they say. I'm certain Lady Cassandra would want to know you're awake. "At once" she said. "Wait. Why do you bow so quickly?"
"Because elves are inferior to men. We should bow down to them." I'm thinking, Ok, that is just wrong. I need to fix that. "What idiot told you that?" Come on, lets go." I got up and started walking. And what I found startled me. People; soldiers and normal people alike with their right hand in a fist on their hearts. And I walked right where they wanted me to. And with my "servant". That just wrong.
I entered the Chantry. Two big wooden doors with the Inquisition symbol on it. I hear an argument between Cassandra and someone who I will find out when I open these doors. I looked at the elf. "I don't know how this will turn out. So please go home. If you see another elf, tell them I said, "Hi."
"The Quinari failed seeker. Chain him. And prepare the transport." "Disregard that and leave us." "You walk a dangerous line seeker." "The breach is stable but is still a threat. I will not ignore it." "I did what I could. And it almost killed me." "Yet you live. And a convenient result, insofar as you're concerned.
"Someone was behind the explosion at the Conclave. Someone Most Holy did not expect." Liliana.
"I am a suspect?!" "You, and many others." "But not the prisoner." "I heard the voices at the temple. The Divine called to him for help." Cassandra. "So his survival, that thing on his hand-All a coincidence?" "Providence. The maker sent him to us in our darkest hour." Cassandra again. "So let me guess. The maker sent me because I am the only one who can fight in this mess and to keep people from killing each other? No? Or maybe I need to deal with the rifts? So I need to know what I need to do that does not involve my execution. Or I might snap and kill this asshole." I look at the Chancellor.
"The breach remains, and your mark is still our only hope of closing it." Liliana. This is not for you to decide." Cassandra gets a thick book out and explains that they have the authority to act.
And I finally snap. "Hey, dickhead. Go away and bitch somewhere else. We don't need this right now. I'll help again because I am bored and I want to help. No go away and don't come back." I then said in a cold and scary voice; "Or I will kill you. Now go." Safe to say, he won't be coming back any time soon. He left in utter rage. "As of this moment, I declare the Inquisition of old reborn. And we will bring peace to the world. We need to find those responsible and bring back order." Said Cassandra. "But we have no leader, no numbers and now no Chantry support." Liliana. I'm staying quiet because want to know if I can do something already. Cassandra states another fact. "But we are out of options. We need to do something now. With you at our side."
"You want a holy war? I'll help do what is necessary but this will get ugly vary fast." "Please, help us fix this before it is too late." She gives me her hand. And I shake it. "
Crows are launched. I am given recognition. Now the hard part; getting things done. We discussed theory. Now we need to make said theory happen.
Well shorter than the last one but just as good right? This should be good. The next chapter may be very short. Because in the game, a good portion of the time may be just busy work. I'll right a little about that. But mostly fighting. Also, High School is coming up so the chances of me updating are very low. Wish me luck. But a preview of something that will happen SOMEHWERE in the next chapter...R&R&R&R
or Read And Review And Rest And Relax
It has been a three-half years since Naruto arrived in this new land. There wasn't much to learn but several new words. Easy with the Sharingan. For him, this world was a more active place. Heaven was the only place that was free of demons. But if you call a lot of political dicks demons, then there are about three or four who want Naruto dead. Its not all bad. He met Commander Cullen, Spymaster, Liliana, and Josephine Montilyet. Josephine most likely the only politician that is not a dick.
