Well finaly the chapter 2 is publish for you to read it! Thank you for Flames of Nocturne that helped me with this!
I wanted to say thank you for all of your reviews! It's funny, this story was the first that I made that had reviews and I was like "It seems that crossovers get more reviews that stories."
Most of them were because of my grammar and for that I'm sorry, english isn't my native language so I have some difficulties when I write. Also I did what you guys suggested by putting more paragraphs when someone is talking, I hope I did it good!
Simple405: I noticed that too, but when I realized of my mistake the chapter was already published.
ArcherShirou and necrofantasia: I think what I did in the previous chapter, of how Louise and Guiche treated Eurydice can be acceptable.
First, they have never seen an elf in their entire lives other than in the stories, maybe, so they don't know how dangerous an elf can be.
Second, I think Guiche is a show off type of person, so by doing that, he tried show that Man are stronger that the Elves.
And third, I think Louise is a very proud person just because she is a Vallière so she thinks that she is superior and also she is a spoiled child. In the actual story Louise treat Saito badly, even knowing that he has a sword with him.
Don't worry, in this chapter they will be put in their place.
Also, for necrofantasia, about the sudden weakness of what happen to Eurydice can be acceptable, because she was practically revived when she was summoned by Louise, so weakness was a good choice when someone is revived because they aren't in their full strength. Also the other reason will be explained in the near future.
Okay, I dont have anything else to say. So I hope you like it
And yet again thank you Flames of Nocturne.
Chapter 2: Annoying shemlens
Louise P.O.V
I woke up in some kind of forest, which was practically impossible because I went to sleep in my room! Only if that elf dragged me here! But where!? I could see the light of the sun penetrating the branches of trees and I could hear the birds singing all over the forest but yet this forest is unknown to me. These trees are even bigger to the ones I'm used to seeing, this forest doesn't show any signs that was ever touched by Man. It was rare to see forest like this in Tristain. But something calls my attention, smoke, I could see smoke coming out from the forest, not far from here! Maybe is a camp of hunters, maybe they can take back to the Academy.
As I ran towards the smoke I could see way better without the tree obscuring my vision because of their branches. But when I arrived, I saw something that I never wished to see. What it seems a group of five knights had just finished killing a mage, a NOBLE! And this wasn't a camp, but was a battle, the smoke was originally flames that were still blazing around, I look at noble corpse and just see two swords impaled on his back, one of his murderers pull out a sword and sheath it.
The knights were wearing strange armor I never saw before, it was silver plate armor with a sword symbol on the chest and they were wearing a long chainmail skirt that reaches to then ankles that was covered by a dark purple fabric, their faces were covered by full helmets. All of them reminded me Romalia knights commended by the pope himself. I decided to speak with them if even they are under orders of the pope they didn't have the right to kill a noble without a reason, in reality I wanted to run way but because of my pride as a Vallière, I could not look away from this!
"Do you understand what you have done!?" I yelled at him but they didn't respond to me "Hey are you deaf or something?" and yet again they didn't respond to me, I was right in front of him, I was right there and he didn't see me, any of them weren't aware of my existence, like I didn't exist.
"We finally finished hunting this Maleficar, it took us five days to catch him but it was worth it!" said one knight as he clean the blood on his sword with a cloth, then something happen, he passed right throw me like a ghost, wait, are they ghosts!? Or is it me!? What did that elf done to me!
"Hey captain shouldn't we keep moving? I heard there is a dalish camp camping on this forest." said other knight, what in the Brimir's name is he talking about? What is a dalish!?
"We are fine as long we keep away from their camp." said his captain trying calm him down, as they were leaving suddenly something move under bushes calling the captain attention "Who is there!?" he yelled as he unsheathed his sword, the others knights did the same but they looked stunned for some reason. When I look where they were looking at, I see a small child no older than 4, wearing a white tunic dress holding a rag doll on her arms and an oversize silver necklace with a carved pendant with a shape of a circle with flowers carved on it. The child look similar somehow to her, pale skin, silver hair that covered just her neck and those blue eyes were like looking at water and…her EARS! This girl is elf!
"Oh by Maker is that a dalish elf." said one the captain knights "If she is here that means the others are around somewhere!" he said almost panicking.
"Calm down!" the captain order him, he start approach the girl but the girl walks backwards with fear on her face as she see the dead noble on floor "Calm down child, we aren't here to hurt you." he tries to calm her down but it was worthless.
"GYAAAAAA!" the girl started screaming in fear and them something strange happen, a blue aura started wrap around her and things like leafs, sticks and stones started levitating right front them, the captain stared at her shocked.
"Someone so young and already showing magical signs?!" he mumble shocked.
"Someone is coming!" a knight warned.
"Damn it! Let's go and we are taking the girl!" he ordered his men and they nod, the captain grab the child but she tries to fight back, but she couldn't do nothing against his strong grasp (grasp is singular, even though it uses two hands), he takes a small stone from his pocket and pointed at her face and light came out making her to pass out. The captain runs into to the forest to the direction were his men went without realizing that the child dropped her doll.
Soon after they left, a large group elves carrying bows and sword appeared behind, all of them here wearing markings on their face as to two more older female elves followed them, one was wearing a long yellow tunic dress and other was wearing a blue robe with feathered pauldrons she was carrying a staff, she must be a noble, perhaps she is their leader.
"Quickly, we must to find da'len before we lose their tracks! They will pay for taking her from us!" their leader order them with hatred on her voice, all of them nodded and spread all round, the other woman noticed on something on floor, the child's doll, her face turned into one of sadness as she fell on her knees and tears start appearing in her eyes.
"Forgive me Mormen, Cellimes! I couldn't protect Nethiel! Please Creators bring her to us!" she started pleading with the rag doll on her closed to her chest, the elderly leader started to comfort her.
As I approach them I stop as I see the elderly started curse something but I didn't understand anything as everything start to fade away by a light.
Normal P.O.V
Louise awaked by hitting her forehead on the hard floor, she released a annoyed groan as she tries to ease her red forehead, she looked around and see that she was back to her room and not some kind of forest, then she noticed that the chain and the leash was broken and nowhere to be seen the elf that she summon nowhere to be seen.
"Did she run away while I was sleeping!" she shouted.
"Well you are energetic in the morning." said a voice behind her, it was Eurydice looking at her while still sitting on the chair near of the window.
"How did you remove this leash? This was a magical leash, you need the key or being a triangle or squire mage to release it!"
Eurydice look at the remains of the leash "I used my magic, simple as that!" she responded to Louise.
"Wait magic? How did you do magic without a wa- I forget you are elf, you don't need a wand or a staff to cast a spell." when Louise mentioned that she needed a staff Eurydice look at her in confusion.
"Any mage can do magic with and without a staff, though with a staff help any mage to focus better." she explain to the pinkette, this time Louise become confused.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Everybody knows that we mages need our wands to allow to- Arg! Never mind!" she started picking up her clothes from yesterday and throws them back to Eurydice.
"What is this?" Eurydice gives her a questioning look.
"These are the dirty clothes, remember?" Louise said.
"I know that, but, why are you handing them to me?" Eurydice asked her again, Louise release an annoyed sigh and aches started emerging her temple.
"You are my familiar! And is the familiar's duty to perform minors duties like cleaning and retrieving objects like ingredients, books and etc, but your main duty is to protect me. As such I am commanding you to wash my clothes while I go take bath." Louise explained to her.
Eurydice just sighs "Fine "master", I will wash your clothes but if you ask me to clothe you I will turn you into a frog!" with that Eurydice storm out of the room with a basked with Louise's clothes leaving the young mage with a pale face.
"Turn me into a frog? Is she serious?" she started to panicking just imagining her like a little pink frog, she hated frogs!
'Freaking chickpea shemlen! What in Andraste's name does she think I am? A servant!? I thought when she mentioned servant as a fellow companion, not like this!'
The Grey Warden walk down the halls carrying her "master" dirty clothes hoping to find something that allows her washes those clothes, she could feel all the stares of young mages as they keep their pace between them and her, all of them were wearing similar clothes but with different colors capes, brown, black like her "master" and purple, she also could see some mages whispering to each other but she decided to ignore them.
'I need to find someone that could help me with this. I doubt that this shemlens would gladly help me.' she thought. The Warden walk on those walls for several minutes until she saw a young black haired girl wearing clothes different to the young mages, she could see that the girl was cleaning 'Probably she can help me.'
"Excuse me." she tries call the girls attention
"Yes?" the girl reacted surprisingly to her, Eurydice could see her blues eyes observing her, suddenly as a weird feeling came from her.
"Could you please tell where I can wash this?" she said politely to the girl and she responds her with a smile.
"Yes there is a fountain where we servants use to wash clothes, I could show you if you like?" the young woman appointed
"Yes please!" the Warden said gratefully.
She start following the young girl on long halls of the academy, there was only silence and only the sound of Eurydice's armor fill that silence "Oh! I almost forgot!" the young girl break the silence "My name is Siesta I am one of the maids that work here on the Academy." she introduce herself "Say, were you hired by someone of the noble?"
"No, supposedly I was summoned here as a "familiar" to a girl called Louise Vallière. My name is Eurydice, I am a mage of the Circle of Ferelden and a Grey Warden." she said calmly and for unknown reason Siesta had terrified face.
"A mage!? Please forgive me for my informality I should I have known that were a noble!" she started apologizing hoping for mercy, Eurydice started to become panicked by the sudden apology, she wasn't used from someone apologizing to her for being a mage, normally it was to the contrary.
"Don't apologize I'm no noble!" she said in panic.
"You aren't a noble? But you said you are a mage?" Siesta said confuses.
"Yes I am mage, but I am no noble. Why? For being a mage you need to be a noble? " she asks Siesta in confusion.
"You don't know!?" the maid said surprised "The teaching of Founder tells us that only the nobles are given the gift of magic to guide us the commoners, with that the nobles have power over commoners and the commoners are obligated to obey." she explain to her.
"Weird…where I came from magic is considered as a sin, no, more like a curse. There the mages can't be nobles, if there was a mage of nobility their titles were removed and their names remove from their family tree! The Chantry teach us that magic exist to serve man, and never to rule over him, but unfortunately long ago a group of mages misused this power and did terrible things. From that day forward mages are seen as monsters and abominations disguised as people."
The maid was stunned, to think there was land were mages weren't nobles and didn't have power over the people, a true commoner's dream. But still she felt sorry for the Warden, to been seen as monster without knowing who they are, was simply terrible. After 15 minutes they arrive finally to the fountain, Eurydice removes her gauntlets revealing her pale skin and old marks, she take a look on Louise's clothes and sees that fabric was quite more delicate compering the ones in Ferelden, and it would be waste to ruin such fine clothes, if Leliana saw her ruin these clothes she would kill her "Say Siesta can you help me with this clothes? I am accustomed to washing clothes of a much stronger fabric. "
Siesta gladly helped her and also give her some tips how to wash this kind of clothing, the maid couldn't stop noticing marks on Eurydice's hands "Say Eurydice, you call yourself a Grey Warden. What is a Grey Warden?" Siesta asked curiously to the Warden.
"The Grey Wardens are an order of warriors with exceptional abilities, anyone can join us, no matter what race is he or she, if they are a slave or even a king, innocent or with a criminal past is treated equal on the Wardens-".
"Race? Do you mean there are more races where you came from?" Siesta asked her while interrupting Eurydice.
"Yes, there are 4 races, you the Humans, the Dwarfs…" Eurydice stopped on moment she mention 'Dwarf' and see Siesta confuse so she decided to explain to her "The Dwarfs are small structure people very similar to the humans that live on underground cities, then there are the Qunari, they are a race of gigantic horned people, to be more descriptive they are taller and more robust that humans." she explain the maid making her wondering how they could be "And finally there is we, the elves…hey Siesta why your face is so white, like you just saw ghost?" she saw the young maid face and her face was white and horror was expressed on her.
"'We?' Do you mean you are an elf!?" the maid asked to the Warden with fright and hoping that she was joking.
"Yes, I am an elf." Eurydice confirm Siesta's question while pushing away her hair reveling her elven ears "Why are you keeping away from me?" she ask Siesta as she see the young maid stepping away trembling.
"T-The elves and humans are enemies for millenniums! The church tells us that the elves are well known by their unnatural magic and making contracts with spirits! They are considered dangerous like demons!" Siesta said completely in panic but she capped her mouth realizing what just said right in front of an elf, her legs were trembling nonstop as she sees Eurydice continue staring.
"AHAHAHAHAHA!" the Warden released a laughter out nowhere, scaring the maid "ELVES ARE LIKE DEMONS!? AHAHAHAHA!" she couldn't stop laughing, Siesta just kept there looking at elven Warden trying to stop laughing "AHAHAH! Wait moment…ahaha…*phwe* That is a lie, we elves aren't demons but is true that elves use ancient magic…well at least were I came from they do." She said as she tries to remember what her teach her back on the Circle.
"But don't worry Siesta! I am not that type of elf! Most of my friends are humans!" Eurydice tries to calm her "All right! To proof that I am not lying I will start referring you as lethalin!" she gave the young maid comforting smile
"Letha what?" the maid stare on the warden confused.
"Lethalin." She correct her "It means friend in elven!" short while they finished washing the clothes and left them to dry "Well is better I return to 'master' before she do something, see you later lethalin!" Eurydice wave goodbye and moment she was entering the building Siesta call her attention.
"Eurydice! Soon the breakfast will be serve to the nobles on dining hall, come to the kitchen for I can arrange something for you to eat!" Eurydice just looks at her and smiles.
"Really? Ma serannas, lethalin!" the Warden thanked to the maid, but the maid look at her in confusion because she didn't understand what the Warden just said "Ma serannas means thank you by the way!" with that she walk back to Louise.
*At Louise's room*
As she enters Louise's room and Eurydice sees Louise just finishing dress herself 'Good, it seems my fake treat worked.' "Are you ready?" she asks to the young mage.
Louise didn't noticed Eurydice until on the moment she spoke with her "Yes. Let's go, I'm hungry." the young mage left her room with Eurydice following her but soon they stop as pinkette encounter two people that she knew very well, Kirche and Tabitha.
"Vallière is so good to see you!" said a tanned red-head busted mage student "A little bird told me that your familiar tried to escape last night. Poor Louise! Even though you summon an elf you can't even control her!" she insult the pinkette mage, Louise lost it.
"Keep your noise away from my businesses, Zerbts! Don't you have your own business with those men, you bimbo!" she pointed to the red-headed. Kirche just smirk at the pinkette.
'Huh! So that explains those sounds yesterday.' Eurydice remembers the sounds she heard when she was on Louise's room.
"At least I have talent both in magic and in sexual appeal! Unlike when compared to you Louise dear!" the red headed retorted while poking Louise's chest angering her even more.
The Warden just remained there looking at the red head and the pinkette taunting each other until she noticed another person there. A small girl with light blue hair wearing glasses and carrying a staff and book with her, she looks like she is reading but in reality she was staring at the Warden, her hand was tightening on the staff proving a hostility against the Grey Warden. Like if she was expecting that the Warden was going to start attacking everyone because she being an elf, both of them were staring at each other waiting for one of them acting first. Tabitha eased her fingers on her staff as she sees no hostility on the elven Warden so resumed reading her book.
"While I adore having our little chat we have still to take the breakfast. Come Tabitha." she said was she leaves with the bluenette following her, the germanian look at her friend still looking behind while pretending she was reading "What's wrong?" she asked
"The elf. Strange."
"Do you think she is dangerous?" she asked in low voice.
"Don't know. Maybe. But she is strong. Interesting."
After Kirche and Tabitha went ahead to the dining hall both Louise and Eurydice did the same only after few seconds Louise trying to calm herself. As they walk down the halls several students were whispering to each other as they see Louise being followed by Eurydice like was her shadow, as they pass between them Eurydice was able to catch few things of their whispering like "Louise the Zero" or "Is that Zero's familiar?" The Zero something was always catching her attention 'Is some kind of title?' the Warden wondered herself, she looks down on young mage and sees that she was still annoyed, perhaps of their whispering or perhaps her encounter earlier.
"Louise? Just curious, why are they call you Louise the Zero? Is some kind of title?" she asked her curiously but the pinkette didn't answer her "Louise? Louie? Looouise, are you hearing me? "
"Is not your concern!" she yelled annoyed and started to speed up her steps trying to get away Eurydice's questions.
*Scene change- Academy's library*
There it was the most famous teacher of the academy known by his kindness, Professor Colbert, dark circles under his eyes show a sleepless night on the desk reading. All over the desk were huge piles of books and several used candles. Spend all night searching for the matching runes on left hand of Louise's familiar, Eurydice.
He could feel his eyes slowly closing no matter how times he tried to keep them open, small yawns fill the silence of the library.
"I am so tired, I can't even keep my eyes open." He said tiredly to himself.
As he lifts another leave of the book something called his attention.
"I found it! Finally! After all night searching, I found it!" he said cheerfully "Okay let's see!" he started analyzing the sketch from Eurydice's left hand. Soon his cheerful face turn into serious one "I-It can't be…Gandálfr, the Left Hand of God… there is no mistake this runes match to Gandálfr."
Then he start thinking "But Gandálfr is one of the legendary familiars of Brimir… if Louise as able to summon the Gandálfr, then that must been that she is…yes it makes sense!" he grabs and starts leaving the library "I must inform Old Osmond, but first *yawn* I need a little nap."
*Scene change*
Louise manage to arrive the dining hall's doors with all questions of Eurydice, as they enter inside she stopped hearing Eurydice's question and when see turn around she sees the Warden amazed how large the hall was, to the Warden, the wall was bigger that the libraries back the Circle, she was able to see a large amount of students eating their breakfast while talking each other. Louise sat on the chair and on the moment she was preparing to start to eat the Warden asked her where the kitchen was, the pinkette pointed the end of the hall and there was a door that led to the kitchen. The Warden nodded and as she began walking away from the pinkette, Louise spoke to her.
"When you finish what you have to do there, come back here, please. I have classes next and isn't a good idea leaving you walking around lost." She said as she putted a piece of her breakfast on her mouth, the Warden just nodded and continues walking down the hall. She was able feel all the students stares when they noticed her passing down the hall but what caught her attention the most was a group of four female students and what it seems the leader of the group was a blond girl with oversize pigtails on her head, she look like a mabari staring at a juicy steak .
(A.N: To tell the truth every character out there that have oversize twintails or drill like hair, especially the drill one, reminds me of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's drills scenes, yes I am talking about you Selnia from Ladies vs Butlers!)
Eurydice looks away trying to avoid the blond girl's constant stare and continued walking to the kitchen. The kitchen was busy, the servants were walking around the kitchen like ants, all of them were carrying empty trays and others carrying trays carrying breakfast for the noble students. A loud voice fills the kitchen giving orders to the servants. The voice belonged to a tall man wearing a white apron over his white double breasted jacket with the sleeves folded to the elbows, around his neck was a red scarf tied by a knot and he was wearing a large white hat.
To Eurydice this man was probably the chef of this academy, she had seen a chef before back in Denerim Estate when she was with Arl Eamon and the others, this chef was completely different. The chef noticed Eurydice and turn to her "You aren't one off the kitchen staff. What are you doing here?" the tall man asked as he walked over to her.
"Siesta told me that I could get something to eat here." She responded to the chief
"Oh! You are the one that Siesta told us about! I thought you would be a little taller…any way, my name is Marteau, I am the head chief of the academy! Nice to meet you Miss Eurydice! He presented his hand.
"Likewise Sir Marteau!" she shook his hand.
"You have strong grip there, miss! This proves that your armor isn't just for show!" he said happily.
"Say, didn't Siesta say anything more about me?" she ask to the chief, if her knowledge isn't wrong, the elves and human don't mix to each other. Luckily for her, that her long hair was covering her ears.
He put his hand on his chin as he remember his talk with the young maid "She said that you are a Grey Warden, if I am correct. Why? Is something more?" he ask her.
"Nope! I was just asking!" she said while smiling 'Thank you lethalin!' she thought.
Their chatting was interrupted by the warden extensive growling inside of her stomach, it almost reminds her of an Ogre's roar, the chief start laughing loudly, he passes her a tray with bowel of soup with vegetables inside and bread. She put a spoon of soup on her mouth and only one word came out of her mouth.
"Delicious." This was the most delicious thing that she ever eaten before.
"Thank you for the complement! If you ever need something to eat you can come here anytime!" he said happily loud, he sees the girl wolf down the soup and even asked if she could have a second, he refill the bowel and wolf down again 'What do they feed to them?' he wonder.
Eurydice thanked for the food and exist the kitchen, she sees that Louise as just finished eating the breakfast "Come, I have classes to attend to." the little mage said.
*Scene change*
"What do you mean?" asked Louise confuse.
The two stopped in front of the classroom's door because of Eurydice.
"There is one thing I want to do. It's really important!" said the Warden with a worry face.
"*sigh* Very well, but don't cause any problems!" said or more like ordered Louise.
'Do you think I am some kind of da'len!?' Eurydice shouted mentally, with just a nod she walk away from the small pinkette girl. The thing she wanted to do was to confirm if she was really on another world or simply in another country where you can see a second moon. And the only way was to speak with a spirit.
The spirits may have the answers and the spirits she is looking for was the benevolent ones. Many mages of the Circle thought it was too dangerous to speaking with a spirit, whether be benevolent or malevolent, but Eurydice knew better, because ever since she was but a child, she was very sensitive to any spirit presence, so sensitive that she was able to speak to them and see them without needing being on the Fade.
*Flashback- 14 years ago –at the Ferelden Circle*
The little young Eurydice was sitting on the cold hard stoned floor of the Circle, she was facing to the stone walls staring at nothing, only small chuckles and her voice while spoke was heard of her. Without her knowing, she was being observed by the older mages. They have been there all the time since she start talking to the wall, this worried them, they knew she was brought to the Circle at very young age because her magical talents. Feared that their little angel, what they call her, was possessed by a demon. So they called the only expert that they could rely on, except the First Enchanter, Wynne.
"*pat**pat*I came as soon as I could!" said 14 years younger Wynne behind them, tired from the running.
"You are finally here, Wynne!" said a brunette elven mage on his twenties to the senior "She have been there over an hour! Just talking and laughing to nothing."
Wynne heard enough from her follows mages, she approach to the little mage slowly to avoid scaring her, as she approach louder was the little elf laugher. She stopped few feet behind Eurydice "Eurydice, dear." she called her, the little girl reacted as heard her name from the familiar voice.
"Aunty Wynne!" the little girl said happily with her soft small voiced.
"Who are you talking to, dear?" Wynne ask her as she kneel herself to be small girl level.
"To Nice Lady!" she answer her nicely as she point supposedly to the Nice Lady, Wynne follow her finger but there wasn't anything there but she knew there was something there.
"And who is this Nice Lady." she ask again nicely.
"I don't know!" she answers back "Nice Lady said she is the Nice Lady!"
"Did the Nice Lady ask you for a favor?" she ask in fear of the little girl's answer.
Her reaction was putting her finger on her mouth with confuse expression "Fabo?" she asks back.
"Did she ask for you to do something?" the older mage explain to her.
"Nope!" Eurydice said happily "The Nice Lady was telling me about the wuld! Did Aunty know these is mountains biggy that the towea!?" she asks as she try to stretch herself as much as possible.
"Really!?" said Wynne with a smile "Sooner or later you will be smarter than anyone else thanks to the Nice Lady!" she patted the girl's head nicely as she sees the girl's smiling face.
Later that day, when Eurydice was sleeping, Wynne, with the help of Irving and other mages, she went to the Fade, to Eurydice's dream to be more precise, she found out what the "Nice Lady" was actually a benevolent spirit, a Spirit of Compassion, that took the shape of an elven woman, the spirit had facial features very similar to Eurydice, it was like looking an older version of Eurydice. She released a relieved sigh as she sees there is nothing to worry about so she returned to the real world
*End of the Flashback*
'Happy memories~!' Eurydice thought. She was correctly sitting at the Academy's courtyard right below of the window where Louise's classes were occurring at the moment 'Alright just need to concentrate. *deep breath* Where I go!' she closed her eyes and started meditating.
Few minutes passed and new presences appeared around her when she reopen her eyes humanoid beings made of earth, wind and light surround her, observing her with their glowing eyes. This wasn't the kind of spirits that Eurydice was expecting, they were alien to her "Okay, this is awkward." the Warden said.
"How are you able to see us without us being materialized?" asked the being made of light.
"I just can! I am very sensitive to any spiritual presence around me. Thanks to that I am able to speak and see you right now." she explained to the spirit.
"That is an impressive ability you have there, elf. I never heard this kind of Spirit Magic."
"What is Spirit Magic?" she asked to the spirit confusedly.
"Spirit Magic, is the magic that you elves use to make contract with us or the power of the land to provide to you power." explained instead the earth spirit.
"I insure you. I don't use this so call Spirit Magic!" she shows them by light her hands on fire, which caught them in surprise. "The only magic I know that involve with spirits is Spirit Healer." she finish as she turn off the flames
"You aren't from this world, are you? I can feel something inside of your body and your soul that isn't from this world. Something dark, ancient and poisonous that shouldn't be here!" said the light spirit warning his kin, as a being of purity, he could feel it inside of the Warden.
"What you say is true. I am from a continent called Thedas and probably what you sense is the Taint inside my body!" the Warden explained.
"The Taint?" asks calmly the spirit of wind.
The others spirits turn their gaze to the elf waiting for an explanation, they received a disappointed sigh "I knew it... I'm in another world…FUCK!" said angrily the Warden. This was the proof, the spirits should know the origin of The Taint! The last hope of returning home, returning to her country, to her friends, to him fades away like smoke 'Alistair…' she thought sadly
BOOM!
A sound of huge explosion from above made her losing her focus, she look up and sees smoke was coming out of the window where Louise's lessons were occurring at the moment, so she decided to go see what happen. When she arrived at classroom, the was a mess, tiny pieces of wood scattered all over the room, what was supposed to be podium destroyed and the sound of the students coughing because the smoke fill the room. Eurydice sees an elder mage woman, which was probably the teacher, unconscious on the floor and Louise with her hair all messy and her clothes were ruin, she was holding wooden stick on her hand, it seems like wand.
"What in the Maker happen here!?" asked the Warden stunned.
"I TELL YOU WHAT HAPPEN!" said a random student then he pointed to Louise "LOUISE THE ZERO DID IT! EVERYTIME SHE TRIES TO DO MAGIC, ALWAYS RESULT AN EXPLOSION!"
"I just miscalculated the amount of willpower on the spell." The pinkette mage said as she cleans her face with handkerchief
"MISCALCULATED MY ASS!"
The students started complaining how mad Louise's magic was, that always result into an explosion or nothing, they say that Louise was a failure as a noble, that she should give up the academy and go living with the commoners. All of kinds of insults were thrown to Louise, the Warden look at the pinkette realizing why they call her "The Zero", wasn't because she was short or didn't had sexual appeal, like the woman called Kirche said, but was because she wasn't capable doing magic correctly. The Warden released a tired sigh, she look down and sees the teacher was still unconscious.
The complaints of the students stopped as they see Eurydice kneeling to their teacher and start to examining. She put her hand over the teacher and a blue aura appeared on elf's hand, they became frightened of the magic that the Warden was using, some of them gather the courage to face the elf and rose from their sits to stop the elf, but they stopped, as they see the same blue aura was glowing on their teacher's body, a motherly and cozy feeling fill the room, easing their minds.
When the blue glow disappeared the teacher was slowly opening her, Eurydice helped the elder mage to get up. "Who are you?" asked the teacher as she tries to ease the pain on her head because.
"My name is Eurydice, nice to meet you." she presented herself.
"You are the one that was summon yesterday by Miss Vallière, right?" the Warden nod "My head…today's class is cancel." She says as she starts leaving the classroom, after everyone was gone, the only ones were in the room was Louise and Eurydice. A deep silence as between them until Eurydice broke it.
"So this is why they call you "The Zero", huh?"
"Are you going to laugh about me to?" the pinkette stare at the Warden with angry stare.
"Nope." She says as she leaves too, with Louise following her.
*Scene Change*
Louise and Eurydice were sitting at courtyard enjoying Louise's break, the small pinkette girl was drinking tea accompanied with some kind of pastry that Eurydice never seen before, was ratter interesting to her, but soon the relaxing time was over when two other students appeared. Kirche and Tabitha.
"Hello Louise!" said the redhead mage as she approaches the pinkette and the Warden.
"What you want, Zerbts?" she asked angrily.
"Nothing." she says as they drew a chair over and sat, this made Louise mad, she didn't want any them near of her, especially Kirche, but this time she wasn't were to annoying Louise but for Eurydice "We didn't really introduce ourselves, did we? My name is Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst, from Germania." she introduces herself and then she appointed to the bluenette "And this is Tabitha, she is from Gallia."
"Hello." Tabitha said simply.
"My name is Eurydice, Mage of the Circle of Ferelden and a Grey Warden." She said as she bowed with her head a little.
"Say, aren't you little nervous being surrounded by Humans?" she asks curiously and sees the elf shaking her head.
"No, I always had involved myself with Humans throughout my entire live."
"Really?! That is impossible!" she almost yelled due the Warden answer.
"It's true! Although there are inequalities among our races, we coexist with each other! Where I grew up, we work together as equals!" the Warden defended, before any more reply, something caught their attention, a mob of students started forming in front of them, although they were concentrated in something else. Eurydice got up from her spot and walked toward the mob, slowly she managed to pass through the students.
Soon she arrived the center of attention she sees two familiar persons, Siesta and Guiche, the young maid was on the floor terrified while the blond boy was on his two feet staring at the maid angrily "You insolent commoner! How dare you to hurt two maiden hearts!?"
"Please forgive me Sir Gramont! It wasn't my intention!" said the terrified maid in hopes for his forgiveness.
"I think you need a lesson to respect for your betters!" he raised his hand, ready hit the maid. Siesta close her eyes as his hand rose to hit her, but it never came, as she reopen she sees a gauntlet grabbing Guiche' arm, was Eurydice.
"Why are trying to hurt her?" said the Warden slowly, a slight tone filled with anger was heard coming out of her mouth.
The blond tried release his arm from her grasp, but was useless, her hand was holding him like iron "This commoner just hurt two maiden hearts alongside with my reputation!" he claim. Eurydice released his arm and walked closer to Siesta to help her to get up.
"Are you alright, lethalin?" the maid just nod "Why did he try to hurt you?"
"I was just serving the cakes and the tea to the nobles until Lady Katie asked me where she could find Sir Gramont." she started explaining to the Warden.
"Did you tell her where he was?" she asked nicely to the frighten maid.
"Y-Yes! At the moment Lord Gramont was dating with Lady Montmorency. But when they found out that he was cheating both of them, they got angry and slap him! After that Lord Gramont got angry at me, just because of that!"
Eurydice just sigh, all this because some boy was caught double dating two girls! There were no lies in the maid's words, something that Eurydice learned early was knowing if someone was lying. She turned to the blond student and started approaching him.
"All this because of a mistake that you made! Do you think that justifies a reason for punish her!?" she said angrily, the boy was shocked, an elf protecting a human.
"And you believe her!? What would an elf know about human society!? We nobles are the superiors because of our magic, compared to the commoners! So we have the all right to punish them as we see fit!" shouted the blond student, the Warden look around and see some students nodding their heads in agreement, she just release small chuckle.
"'as we see fit'? Then your society is even more messed up that mine." She started approach the boy slowly, each step she made, the boy step away a little further from her until he blocked by a wall "Where I can from. Our magic is feared by everyone, may they be humans, elves… nobles, commoners… mages or non-mages. They fear it." she said slowly as she glares directly too his eyes.
"F-F-Feared by e-e-e-everyone?" he said frightened just to imagine what kind of elf that was just right in front of him.
"Yes, by everyone." she said with creepy voice, for some reason she was having fun playing with him and then something pup out of her mind "Do you know something? A little bird told me that you humans see us elves like demons." she said slowly, Siesta flinched for Eurydice's words "Yesterday you mock me because I was just weak… I think you deserve a little pay back."
Without any word, a flash appeared right in front of Guiche making him closing his eyes, but when he reopens his eyes, he wasn't no longer at academy grounds but in a fast deserted land with a giant man in front of him. The man was carrying clothes that fit a noble, a man that was very familiar to him, was his father.
"Guiche!" he voice was so high that even the floor started shaking.
"F-Father!" he said scarily, he was the last thing wanted to see at the moment.
"You are a disgrace to Gramont family! You must be punish!" with those words her rose his giant foot prepared to crush the tiny Guiche, he tried to run away but it was useless.
"P-P-Please forgive me!" he yelled as the foot comes closer to him.
Eurydice look at the blond boy on the floor completely terrified, his face was so pale like he had just seen a ghost, his body couldn't stop shaking in fear because of her Horror spell. Then small scent of urine fill her noise, she look down and sees his pants drenched in urine. All the students turn their gazes to her in horror because of the alien magic, they started to step away from her to avoid to feel the same fate as Guiche.
'Damn, I think I over reacted bit.' she thought as she scratches her nape nervously.
"STOP RIGHT THERE, ELF!" shouted feminine voice behind the Warden.
Eurydice look behind to see who was the one just shouted and see it was the oversized twintails blond girl that she saw back the dining hall. Comparing to the other students, keep on her ground without any sign of fear on her face, but there was anger on her, she started approaching slowly until she stopped 3 meters away from her.
"HOW DARE YOU TO USE YOUR DEVILISH MAGIC ON ONE OF MY FELLOW CLASSMATES!?" she shouted angrily as she points her finger to Eurydice.
"I was just messing with him a bit. Is just Horror spell, an illusion, the effects will soon pass." she said as she approaches slowly too the blond girl with her arms crossed.
"I have been patient all this time because you are Vallière familiar, but this is the last drop!" the female student yelled as she pulls out a wand "AS PRINCESS BEATRICE DE GULDENHORF AND UPON MINE TITLE AS BISHOP! I CONDEMN YOU TO BE EXECUTED BY THE NAME OF BRIMIR! KNIGHTS!"
Out of nowhere, over ten knight wearing blue armor and white capes carrying staffs and swords surrounding Eurydice, the Warden started to examine the knights in around her, they were like the Templars back home, but these ones were much slower. A knight with a sword charge against her but she dodged him easily and kick him on his back sending him to ground, another one with a sword attacked from her back only give her time to turn around and being struck at her gut.
Beatrice smiles as she sees the elf being pierced by the sword but something was wrong, there was no blood spilled on the floor. The knight tried to remove his sword from the elf's body but it was stuck into her, then he heard a small sound coming down every time he tries to remove the sword. He look down and sees small pieces of stone coming down from the elf's belly, when look back to the elf he receive a powerful fist infused with stone on his face, knocking him down instantly.
Everyone was stunned as they see the elf's armor being covered by a thick rock plates all over her "IMPOSSIBLE! An elf shouldn't be able to do earth magic!" said one of the knights stunned Eurydice look down at her belly and sees the sword was still there stocked between of the layers of rock and easily she pulled of the sword from her.
"What a weak sword. It can't even pass through my Rock Armor." then something happened, she felt mysterious power coming out from her left hand soon she grabbed the sword, she look at her left hand and sees the marks glowing through the gauntlet on her hand 'What in Makers name…' her thoughts interrupted by incoming sword which she blocked easily.
She starts swinging mightily with her newly 'received' sword against her foe, the knight could only trying to block against her powerful swordsmanship, then another knight came to his rescue but he was too slow, she used her arm to block the blow thanks to the thick layers of rock on her arm and slashed on their poorly protected legs.
They fell as they cried in agony on the moment they felt the blade passing through their flesh. Then two knight with staff and attacked from both sides with wind blast and fire ball spells at her, she responded by using Spell Shield to protect her from their assault and counterattacked with a weaker version of Cone of Cold on them, after all she didn't wanted hurt them badly.
The knights struggle themselves to get out from the ice on their bodies, but they couldn't "Now she is using ice magic! What in Brimir's name is she!?" said shocked one of the frozen knights. The fight still continues with Eurydice blocking and slashing any knight with swords and using her spells at the ones with staffs.
Louise with Siesta standing beside her, just standing there staring at the fight between the familiar and Beatrice's knights, the pinkette never seen something like this, the way she fought with a sword exceed any swordsmen that she heard from her mother's tales when she fought in the Tristain army. She could even perhaps overcome her own mother, the strongest wind mage in Tristain's history until now! There was also something she noticed on the Warden, her eyes were releasing a pale blue mist, leaving a trail of paled mist.
She sees Eurydice using again earth magic on others knights with staffs that enveloped (Enveloped is to cover and surround) them with rocks, trapping them inside of thick layers of heavy rocks. Then she throws at them some kind lighting net spell at any knight near of her, making them losing consciousness in the progress. In just few minutes, nine of Beatrice's knights were knocked down or stuck inside of ice or layers of rocks, only one remained.
He holds his staff tightly in fear of the Warden, he wanted to run away, but he feared that Beatrice would do something to him. After all, he is a lesser noble comparing to her. In fear, he throws a fireball spell hoping that would do something to the elf, but he was wrong. Eurydice also throws a fireball spell against his attack, her plan was to explode his spell and then using Stonefist to knock him down but instead her spell overpowered his and exploded right in front of him. The power of the explosion threw him to the wall behind the young princess, suffering minor burning.
The young princess was all alone, all her knights were defeated by a single elf that knows using fire, earth, ice and lighting magic, which, in their theory was completely impossible! Her legs started shaking nonstop as she realizes why elves are feared by many people, all her will to continue this execution had vanished. All she wanted right now was run away from the elf, but her legs didn't let her go.
"Are you satisfied with all this!?" the Warden suddenly asks to the scared princess with an angry tone on her voice "Are you trying to prove something!?" she asks again.
Eurydice approach to the paralyzed princess and look right to her eyes "You aren't a bishop are you?" those words froze the young princess "I don't know very well how your religion works, but if I am corrected. You need an authorization from the superiors of the Church to do religious execution!"
Those words left every student stunned just for realizing that Beatrice was pretending to be a bishop, slowly they started to back away from the Warden frightened if she also would do something to them.
Eurydice look around to see if anyone dared to face her after what happen, she look down at wounded knight groaning in pain so she decided to help them. She raise her hands and release a warming and kind blue aura toward the wounded knights, leaving the students yet again surprised. They saw their wounds being healed by the elf. After finishing casting Group Heal on the knights, Eurydice turns back to Louise and Siesta and leave, the pinkette and the maid follow after the Warden, leaving behind the group of stunned students.
Louise look at the elf and realize how powerful she is and how poorly she had treated her since she summon. She sees how the way she walks away from the courtyard, prideful and at the same time elegant, it is as if she were a true noble, someone to admire.
She didn't receive a dragon or a griffin or a manticore as familiar like she wanted, but she felt proud for summoning her. For the first time, she felt lucky that her magic was able to summon her.
