9:16-The Twin Souls

In a warm Ferelden afternoon, screams cold be heard across the Barris villa near Lake Calhand. The lady of the house lay in her upstairs bed room in the throws of labor. Mikala Barris Lets out another loud scream and pushes her second child into the world. The mid wife pulls the new born child from Mikala's womb. Mikala lets out a gasp of pain as her body contracts again and a second child is pulled from her womb. Mikala lets out a tired sigh as she watches the midwife clean the children. Once finished the midwife carefully sets the newborn children next to their mother on the bed.

Midwife: "Congratulations, my lady. Two health boys."

The midwife helps prop Mikala up comfortably on some pillows and then settles one child on each side of her. Once settled Mikala reaches for her boys. The midwife gives her a smile and moves to leave her in peace with her new born children. Mikala's voice stops her at the door.

Mikala: "Please, send in my husband. He will wish to see us."

The woman gives her a nod and continues out of the room Mikala takes a moment to observe the children. They were less fussy than her first child, Vash. She smiled to herself as she began thinking of names for them. Her thoughts were interrupted as a man entered the room. Jervin Barris quickly shuts the door behind him and makes his way to his wife's side. He stops at the side of the bed at the sight of two babies. Mikala gives hin a jouious smile.

Mikala: "Can you believe it Jervin. Tow more sons."

As she gushes over the children Jervin's old templar training scratches at the back of his mind. He looks closely at each child. One is squirming slightly. Jervin senses nothing out of the ordinary about him. The other simply continues to sleep. The scratching of his senses slightly intensifies. This child had traces of magic. Noticing her husband's silence, Mikala looks to Jervin and notices he's staring oddly at one of the babies.

Mikala: "What's wrong Jervin?"

Jervin nervously clears his throat, thinking of an old templar myth.

Jervin: "H-he'll be a mage. I can feel it."

Mikala: "You can't know that for sure."

Jervin: "You're right, but if he is then you know someone will come for him."

Mikala shares a grim look with Jervin as she recalls him mentioning an old templar myth he mention long ago. The grim mood is broken as both babies begin to wake. One of the boys begin to cry as the other lets out a yawn. Jervin takes the crying boy and begins to gently rock him in his arms as Mikala cradles the other boy in her arms. They had talked of names before had settled on naming a boy after Jervin's great uncle Delrin.

Jervin: "Shh shh, now now little Delrin. Everything will be alright."

At hearing his new name, Delrin begins to quiet down and goes back to sleep. Jervin smiles at Mikala.

Jervin: "I think he likes it."

Mikala looks down at the baby in her arms.

Mikala: "We were not expecting you, little one. What should we call you?"

Jervin: "How about Bishop. Since Delrin is named after my great uncle, why not name his twin after your great uncle?"

Mikala thimks it over for a moment before turning her attention to the baby.

Mikala: "What do you say little one? Does Bishop suit you?"

The baby gives a soft giggle and hums in delight at his new name. With one last yawn, Bishop falls asleep again. Jervin's gaze falls on Bishop with worry. He hopes that he has miss read his feeling. It had been a while since any of his templar abilities had surfaced after all. Only time would tell.
