Three years had passed and Theron had just returned from the Deep Roads with Carver and Nathaniel, who he had also recruited for his mission.
"I was not expecting to meet your brother down there," said Theron.
"Nor I," said Carver.
"I must apologise for my sister, but it was probably a good thing that she was otherwise we would be overwhelmed," said Nathaniel.
Theron nodded. "I was not expecting to meet such resistance. Still I believe we accomplished our mission."
"I have engravings here, but we'll need someone to translate them," said Nathaniel.
"Perhaps the Shaperate at Orzammar can translate them for us," Theron suggested.
"Are you sure we should be consult them?" Nathaniel asked.
"If you want to know more about this idle that caused this madness I say we must," said Theron. "I think we should try and keep this as quiet as possible, we don't want anyone to get any ideas. They might even try and use this new form of lyrium as a weapon."
"After seeing Bartrand I can't help but agree," said Carver.
"Let us hope that these carvings provide the answers we are looking for and why the thaig is so different from others we have seen," said Theron.
A few months later and he was with Leliana and Dorothea, who was now known to everyone as Divine Justinia. The situation at Kirkwall was getting very out of hand and Orlais itself was becoming unstable.
"Things can't continue like this," said Divine Justinia.
"I agree, most holy," said Theron. "But the question is what we're gonna do about it? I feel like waiting would solve nothing."
"I agree," said Leliana. "There are mage extremists within Kirkwall, but the templars themselves are not showing any restraint either and despite your wishes Grand Cleric Elthina refuses to leave."
"This is most unfortunate," said Justinia.
"From my sources Knight-Commander Meredith is becoming more extreme by the day and there are rumours that she's talking to herself. The first sign of madness," said Theron.
"The Champion is actually in favour of the mages, I don't know whether it's because he's a mage himself and sympathise with them or it is because the Knight-Commander is getting more unreasonable," said Leliana.
"I can understand her concerns about the mages, but resentment and fear will not quell the issue," said Theron.
"If it does come to open war with the mages and templars, how do you think the Grey Wardens will react?" Justinia asked.
"We remain neutral in such fares, but we would probably welcome the odd mage and templar that wants sanctuary, we might be the only ones that can actually offer them protection," said Theron.
"What of Orlais?" Justinia asked.
"The situation there could be better," said Leliana. "However, Celene has managed to quell some of the fires, but how long it will last I do not know. Grand Duke Gaspard in particular has become quite vocal voice."
"I fear that he might turn his site upon Ferelden, with been such a weakened state if he gains power," said Theron.
"We cannot have such diversity at this present time," said Justinia. "I fear no matter what we do it will come to war with the mages and templars the best we can do is delay as best we can. I've already come up with a plan in case such a thing happens. Is there nothing else?"
"There is one thing," said Theron.
"And what is that?" Justinia asked.
Theron turned his eyes upon Leliana and then went down on one knee. "Leliana, will you marry me?"
Leliana just stared at him, open-mouthed and then nodded enthusiastically. "Yes."
Theron stood up and next thing he knew Leliana flung her arms around him and kissed him on the lips.
Justinia just smiled at the two of them. "Congratulations, both of you, but I fear that you will not be able to do it in public."
"Which is why I came to you," said Theron as he broke away from Leliana. "Do you think you can do us the honour of marrying us, here and now?"
Justinia just smiled as if she had expected as much. "I would be honoured."
That night, Theron and Leliana when their bedroom completely naked with their arms around each other and kissing.
"I'm surprise you asked for my hand in marriage," said Leliana between kisses.
"I just figured that we shouldn't waste our time when we clearly love each other," said Theron as his hands traced her ass.
Leliana then looked to his eyes. "I'm sorry about Marethari."
Theron just got word of Marethari's passing, he ran into the clan as they made their way back to Ferelden and Fenarel told him of everything that had happened. He very much doubt that Merrill would kill her and suspected that the incident was much more complex.
"It was quite a blow," said Theron.
"Do you blame Merrill?" Leliana.
"Maybe, maybe not, I guess I'll just see in time," said Theron. He then looked into Leliana's eyes. "But right now I want to spend the night with you."
He then guided her down onto the rug that laid on the floor and then impelled her with his length. Instantly she grasped as he slowly pulled in and out of her as he placed one hand upon her thigh another behind her back.
She then wrapped her arms around his neck and moved her hips in time with his. She then laid her lips upon his and they fell into deep passionate kiss as their hips moved in perfect rhythm.
Then to a surprise he picked her up placing both hands upon her ass and carried her onto the bed as she continued to move her hips. He then placed her down gently upon the bed still impaling her with his length and just stared at her.
Leliana took full advantage of his hesitation and flip them over so that she was now on top. She then began to move her hips even faster and he just stared as he saw her breasts jumping up and down.
He then placed his hand upon her breasts and giving them a good squeeze causing her to moan even deeper. As he did this she placed a hand upon her womb began to massage it trying to get the maximum amount of pleasure that she could possibly get.
She then leaned forwards and placed a kiss upon her lips as she continued to bounce up and down upon his length. Within the middle of the kiss they both unleash the liquids onto one another and Theron could feel her gasp inside his mouth.
They then pulled away and looked at one another both of them smiling another.
"I love you, ma'arlath," said Theron.
"I love you too," said Leliana, kissing upon the lips once more.
This wasn't the first night that they made love to one another, but it was the first time that they did it as husband-and-wife and Theron couldn't be happier.
