Chapter 2-
We grabbed our swords and ran towards the corridor where my father was.
When we got in, my father's men were everywhere . . . dead.
There was blood and bodies all over the place.
I gasped and ran over to one of the knights that I came to love like a brother.
"Kieran! Tell me you're going to be okay! Please!" I screamed.
He looked up with me. "I . . . I can . . . not . . . lie to . . . you . . . I'm sorry . . . Valbona . . ." He said slowly in between deep breaths.
"Take care . . . of your . . . father and mother . . . Good . . . bye . . ." He said and stopped breathing for good.
"Maker be with you . . ." I blessed his dead body.
Alistair put his hand on my shoulder when he saw me look down, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay . . . he's with the Maker now." I looked up and smiled.
He smiled reassuringly back at me.
We then sprinted back to find my father.
We finally reach to where my father was . . .
He looked how Kieran looked . . . "Father! Teyren!" Alistair and I screamed in unison.
We ran over to him with me in tears.
I didn't wish for my father's death to come so soon. Please, don't let it happen now.
"Valbona! Alistair, get out of here!" My father screamed at us.
"Please come with me. Now," said a deep voice from the back of the room.
Suddenly, Duncan appeared.
"Go with him. That is the only chance of you two being safe. Please! Go!" My father screamed.
"I'm not leaving without you. Please father." I screamed back, trying to hold back my tears.
"Valbona. Go with Duncan. Hurry! They're coming!" Duncan grabbed hold of my arm and pulled me away from my dying father.
He brought us somewhere. It was far away from home . . .
. . . . . .
The whole walk Alistair walked next to me and sometimes made me laugh when I was about to cry or when I seemed too lost in thought.
Maybe being with him won't be as bad as I thought.
As we got to a bridge that connected to a campground looking place, Duncan turned and faced me.
"This is where the Joining will be held. But for now, look around and bring Alistair with you so you can get a basic idea on what all this is. When you're done, go look for the other 2 recruits for the Joining. I'll be near the fire pit afterwards." He said and started walking across the bridge.
"So, what would you like to see first?" Alistair asked, not caring what-so-ever.
"So you're my tour guide . . . this will be. . . something different. . . but anyways, what's that?" I pointed to the tall tower behind him.
"That is the Tower of Ishal. It was constructed by the Tevinter Imperium along with the rest of the fortress of Ostagar during the height of its power as a fortification against the wilders of the Korcari Wilds. The tower was named after the Archon that ordered its construction," He discribed.
I nodded my head in understandment.
We slowly walked over the bridge and into the camp that was under a perfectly blended pink and purple sky.
We looked around some more and he told me some more of the history of Ostagar.
We finally found the other two recruits and went to go find Duncan.
"So I see you found each other. Good to know. But now you all need to go on a quest. Go into the Korcari Wildes, get three vials of Darkspawn blood and get the Grey Warden cashe. Alistair will know where that is," Duncan explained.
Daveth seems pretty confident but Jory doesn't want to leave his family . . . Oh well. He's going to be a Grey Warden soon; he has to get over the fact he might not be able to go back to his family for a while.
As we entered the Korcari Wildes, Bandits came and attacked us from all sides.
We killed them with such ease.
"Please. . . please spare me my life. . . I'll never come back. . . I'll leave you alone! Please!" The leader begged.
I walked up to him with no emotion at all and stabbed him in the abdomen.
He fell to the floor dead. We walked for about 10 minutes until we spotted our first group of Darkspawn, most were Hurlocks and Genlocks.
Jory stood there, too scared to move.
"Jory! Get ahold of yourself," I slapped him in the face.
"We need to get the vials of blood for the Joining. Don't chicken out now! We are so close! Don't ruin it!" I screamed in his face.
He looked at me with wide eyes.
"Ye. . . Yes. . . My lady. . ." He stuttered.
The darkspawn saw us and started to attack.
Alistair and Daveth got the 3 Genlocks while Jory and I got the 3 Hurlocks.
"Is everybody okay?" I asked.
Daveth and Jory nodded.
When I looked at Alistair, he rolled his eyes and walked away.
What did I do. . .?
After getting the three vials, we went to find the papers.
. . . . . . .
As we were walking in silence, we hear a harsh voice speaking to us.
"Who are you?" This woman said coming out from nowhere.
"I am not telling you who I am until you tell me who you are," I said back to her.
"Okay then. I am Morrigan. And I live in these Wilds with my mother," Morrigan stated.
"I am Valbona, soon to be Grey Warden," I introduced myself.
"So confident, but I'm sorry to tell you, they're not there anymore," She laughed.
"Then what did you do to them? They are Grey Warden property!" Alistair screamed.
"My mother has them back at the hut," She smirked.
"Bring us to her." I said harshly.
"Why would you want her to do that for!?" Alistair hissed.
"Because we need those papers," I said as I started following Morrigan.
Jory, Daveth, Alistair and I followed Morrigan back to the hut, it wasn't that far from where we just were.
. . . . . .
"Mother, I'm back, and this time I have a couple of Grey Wardens with me," Morrigan said sternly.
This oldish woman came out from inside the hut.
She had shoulder length grey hair, light coloured eyes, and she looks like the Witch from the tale of the Witch of The Wildes.
"Ahh. . . so you must be the Grey Wardens in training. How do you do? I am Flemeth. You're treaties have been stolen," Flemeth said without a single emotion in her voice.
"What do you mean stolen!?" Alistair screamed.
"Hush boy. Do not raise your voice at me. For I am not to blame. It was your friend Grace. She came by just a while ago and collected them, said she was to use them for ritual purposes." She said.
"There is no Grey Warden named Grace," Alistair argued back.
While Flemeth and Alistair were arguing, and Jory and Daveth were flirting with Morrigan, which wasn't going well for them, I was looking around for any traces of him.
"Alistair! Come here, I think this may belong to him," I interrupted their babbling.
He looked at me for a while then walked over to me.
On the floor was an amulet that looked like it belonged to the Circle of Magi.
"I do remember seeing her with that," Flemeth added.
"Then we will head West to find her!" Alistair got up and started to walk down the path the amulet was found/
