The Rogue Spell Singer And The Charger

by Genesis Vakarian

The idea behind Merci and Krem's relationship belongs solely to GirlyGeek. She has given me permission to use it as long as my oc is different from hers, whose name is Vyolet. Slow Bloom is her story, please go and read it through as a request from me. DA; I second story and there is a lot of flashbacks and painful memories for them both. From their childhoods on up. R&R... Rated T

4. Chapter 4

Krem woke to Merci, whimpering like a beaten wolf. He eased himself to her bed roll to try and calm her down, when she placed her arms around his neck whispering to a ghost from her past.

"Please, Master, don't hurt me.I'll try to do better. I promise. Master please. No, I didn't do anything." And she just continued in her native tongue of Elvish for several moments more. This went on for several moments until he had gently eased her into his arms. Settling her legs on one side of his lap, while laying her head on his shoulder.

All the while saying only one thing over and over to his friend. "It's alright Amatus, It's alright, you're safe here, with me."

And he held her until daylight appeared upon the horizon. Sera was able to wake them up and they had gotten dressed. He bound himself up before placing his padded shirt on, and she helped him get his breastplate on properly as she told him. "Thank you for giving me some much needed comfort last night Da'len." And he replied to her saying, "It was of on problem love, it was a friend who told me to give some comfort, and that's what I did. Why were you talking about someone being your master when you were free?"

Merci stiffened her spine before answering. "The bastard who was my master was not a masigter like Master Dorian, it was my second Keeper. Ian De Fey who abused me, I'm glad that he's dead. But, I just can't seem to get past the hell that he put me through. Mostly because of the fact that he forced himself on me when I was just fifteen and had gotten me pregnant. The baby died within the next three months of course."

Krem didn't know that side of her until she mentioned becoming pregnant against her very will, and now, he's protective of this young spell singer rogue who has fought alongside the Chargers ever since arriving at SkyHold months earlier.

But when he mentioned a friend, she knew which friend he meant- Solas. They had just finished eating when, Merci gave Krem her whole heart alongside her trust.

He knew that this was a very large step for Mercia, but she still has some trust issues to deal with however. Once back home, at SkyHold, she took some time to find a quiet spot to think, and pretty soon she was singing of the birds, the bees and everything being made by the Creators. Once finishing her pretty song, she didn't know that her voice made everyone stop what they were doing to listen and they applauded her ability to sing so well as a blind rogue and she began to blush when Iron Bull rescued her.

She smiled and said, "Thanks for the save Chief." When she felt that something was wrong, before being knocked out. Someone had found her, but it wasn't the Chief, rather one of her old clan. Mira was her name, she shook Merci awake to tell her this, "You are now our Keeper Da'len, you must lead us all or die trying." And she agreed, with them staying close to the old fortress and out of sight.
