Flemeth arrived three candle marks later carrying a very battered Ceraphina and Alistair.
Morrigan and I did as much bandaging as we could. Being as I was studying to become a vet in my old (well, the life I had before this anyway) life. I knew a couple of tricks here and there. Ceraphina looks exactly like the character I made. Long brown hair in a severe bun which was a little loose now that she just got mauled by an army of darkspawn of course. I let her hair down and gently brushed it until Morrigan said something about her waking up soon so I decided to go out and check on Alistair.
Alistair was already outside pacing like a madman, just like in my game. He looked tired. Handsome, but tired. I cleared my throat to get his attention.
He looked up and gave me a defeated look. He had dark circles under his eyes. Oh, poor Alistair.
"Is she?" He started.
"She's gonna be completely fine." I smiled gently. I can't believe this man is my great, great, great, grandfather. Okay more greats there.
"I just don't know what to do if she's gone. All of the wardens are gone. They're all." He paused then sighed. "They're all dead."
"I'm sorry. They were great men."
"I-I don't understand. We lit the signal fire. Loghain's men should've been there."
"He left you to die." I said in a small voice.
"Wha-what do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything. I'm sorry. Your friend will be up any minute now" I said and stalked towards a lone tree which I think I could climb. No reason to scare the poor man any more than he already is. I sighed and climbed up the tree. Something I loved to do in my past li- well the life I had before this.
Knowing how the things would happen, I decided to just observe. Alistair continued his pacing for a few more moments before Ceraphina emerged from the hut wearing a white undershirt. She walked barefoot towards Alistair, her hair blowing gently with the wind and for a moment they just stared at each other, a look of disbelief on Alistair's face.
Ceraphina reached out and touched his face. Alistair closed his eyes then hugged her. They were talking. I sighed. This is exactly how I imagined things would be. Now what was that cheesy phrase? Oh right. Love at first sight.
I rolled my eyes.
Flemeth was now walking towards them. I assume this was to explain everything to both of them. Alistair looked a tad bit too overprotective. I smiled. Just like I imagined.
Flemeth was now gesturing to Morrigan who was walking out of the hut. I assume that this is the part where she asks the wardens to take Morrigan with them. Then out of nowhere she looked straight at me. Looks like I'll be going with them. I sighed and jumped off the tree.
Time to make my grand entrance.
Drum rolls please.
"Ah. This is the other companion I was talking about. You would do well to protect her with your lives." Flemeth said waving her long arm towards me.
"I will just be a hindrance to them." I muttered
Flemeth looked at me with dark eyes and said "Does it matter? The future is in your hands, like it or not."
"Gee, thanks. No pressure." I said and rolled my eyes.
Morrigan smirked.
"Don't forget the stew in the fire mother. I would hate to return to a burned down hut."
"You're more likely to return with this forest gone and me along with it if these two fail." She said gesturing towards the wardens.
"I-I didn't mean that mother." Morrigan stuttered.
"Of course you didn't. Now go on child. Be on your way."
Okaaay. Very awkward.
"Sooo." I started. "Nice trees you have here. Very . . . Leafy." Alistair snorted and with that, our adventure begins.
