(At the Korcari wilds after the battle of Ostagar)
Christina walks out and sees Alistair looking outwards to the wilds. Flemeth sees Christina come out and says: "Ah and here's your Grey Warden you worry too much young man." Alistair turns around and sees her.
"You sigh your alive thank the maker I thought me and Warrick would be the only ones left alive". "I'm fine Alistair it'll take more than a few darkspawn to kill me." Warrick says, "how are you feeling milady?" "I'm fine Warrick."
"If it wasn't for Morrigan's mother we'd be died on that tower." Don't speak about me as if I'm not present lad." "I'm sorry I didn't mean…. What should we call you? You never told us your name." The Chasind folk call me Flemeth you may call me that"
Warrick speaks out: "Whoa hand on a second you are THE Flemeth? "Flemeth the witch of the wilds?" "I am you are surprised?" "Yeah we all are it's not people we expect to meet the witch of the wilds." "Ah yes the stories about me Hahaha."
Alistair says; "Duncan is dead the king is dead its….it's unbelievable what can we do now without the kings army to stop the blight?" Christina and Warrick and think about that and after a while Christina came up with an idea.
"We can ask Arl Eamon for help Loghain betrayed the king so we'll need someone popular with the people but with blight I don't know…. wait didn't Duncan say something when we were gathering the darkspawn blood?"
Warrick interrupts "he did he said when we reach the ruins there should be a chest protected with magic containing." All three said "of course the treaties" at the same time," that means elves, mages dwarves and others to help us against the blight.
Flemeth says; "May my ears be deceiving me or does it should like you've got your army already planned out?" We ready to move out and gather our army Flemeth and thanks for the help.
No no it is I should be thanking you, you are Grey Wardens here not I. If you like there's one more thing I can do to help you in your quest.
Flemeth calls Morrigan out the hut and few minutes later Morrigan comes out and says "yes mother are the Grey Wardens moving out now?" They are and you are going to join them."
"Such a sham….what!?" "You heard me girl last time I checked you had ears ha ha."
Warrick says; "As much as I'd like her to tag along but won't that make our problems even worse?" "Maybe I should have left on that tower Grey Warden." Flemeth said. "Huh yes well I guess we own you for that at least."
Christina looks at Morrigan and says "Good I won't be the only woman in the group thank the maker." Alistair speaks; "Well we do need all the help we can get."
"Wait let me just grab my things if you please?" Morrigan replied Morrigan goes in the hut and grabs her things and came out the hut then said; "I am ready for our journey Grey Wardens there is a nearby village here that would be a good place to start."
Christina says; "Very well Morrigan we're going now." Morrigan says her farewells and starts walking with the Grey Wardens heading towards Lothering the village Morrigan mentioned.
(At Denerim)
Loghain speaks out to the nobles at the landsmeet, "We must rebuild what we lost at Ostagar and do it quickly before the horde reaches further in Ferelden."
A nobleman speaks out to Loghain, milord if I may speak? Loghain gives him permission to talk. "You say we join our army under your banner for our own good, but at the battle of Ostagar your withdraw was most fortuitous."
Most nobles in the meeting grasped of shock of Loghain's withdraw leaving their king to die in the battle at Ostagar; Loghain had a moment of silence thinking how to reply to this. "What I've done is to secure Ferelden independence."
"You only wish the throne for yourself!" The nobleman shouted back at Loghain. "How dare you speak of such accusations!" A young woman intervenes; "Please farther let me speak to him?" Loghain thinks for a moment and just walks out aggressively.
"Bann Teghain please." "Your majesty your farther wishes to wage a civil if Eamon were here." "My farther is only doing what he wishes is best."
"Did he also do what was best for your husband your majesty?" She feels her heart break after being asked that and remains quiet and Bann Teghain walks out heading back to Redcliff.
Morrigan and the Grey Wardens have arrived at the bridge entering lothering but they see a group of highwaymen preying on those fleeing from Ostagar. One of them walks towards the group and says. "Hello fellow travellers for you to cross the bridge you have to pay to toll." "You are to fix the bridge?" "We are yes it is bit in a mess isn't it?" Morrigan says; "Ugh it's obvious they just want take our money I say let's kill them."
"Now is that a way to treat a man that just asking to pay the toll? It only cost twenty silver" The bandit on leaders left says; "They don't look refuges maybe we should let these go past?" Don't be ridiculous everyone pays the toll Conrad it's not a refuge tax.
Christina spots out the mistake in their operation and says; "you should listen to your friend we're not refuges" "See told you." "Sigh like I said Conrad it's not a refuge tax just a toll." "You ain't fooling me move out of my way or you'll regret it" "Ha we not afraid of you."
"Doni get him." Doni attacks the leader and he didn't see it coming and he's now down on the ground biting the leader. Everyone else draws there weapons and attack the rest of the highwaymen.
Christina and Alistair killed the first two quickly and Morrigan kills the archer with the stone fist spell and Warrick kills the last one with lighting spell. The leader is still on the ground holding Doni from killing him. Christina walks back to him and points her sword at him.
"Doni get off him." Doni goes as he was ordered, "Cough, cough you're no ordinary soldier who are you?" "I am Christina Cousland daughter of Bryce Cousland teyrn of Highever, as well a Grey Warden."
"Grey Warden why didn't you say so I'd have let you past?" "I was hoping for a good fight and well I was disappointed but a fight is a fight." "Please just let me go I won't trouble you no-more."
Alistair says: "Let him go he's no threat to us now."
"Hand over all you coin you got and you can go." Christina says. The highwayman reaches for his pocket and hands over his bag of coins. "There is just over a hundred silver in that bag."
Christina grabs the bag and opens to see the coin. "Alright your free to go but if I see you do another crime and you'll die understood?" He nods his head in fear then stands up thanks the Grey Warden and runs away.
Christina goes down to her knees and says to Doni, "Good boy you did great here have a treat." Doni barks happily and eats the treat. "Come on everyone we've got to resupply; rest and keep going." "But not rest for the day the horde could be here by then."
"Warrick you and Morrigan are to help the injured and the sick while Alistair checks out the Chantry for help and I'll look in the tavern and ask for information with Doni." "OK come on we got our tasks go do them."
(Alistair in Chantry)
Alistair is walking through the Chantry to find the mother. Then he came along a solider he knows that it is in Arl Eamon's army. "Ser Donall is that you?" "Alistair?" "By the maker how are you, I thought you were dead?"
"I'm not the only survivor I have a group with me and we plan on stopping Loghain taking the throne and form an army to fight the blight." "That's a lot for one Grey Warden to handle." "I'm not alone I've got two other Grey Wardens with me but anyways why you here?"
"You haven't heard? Arl Eamon has fallen ill me and several others have gone looking for the Andraste sacred ashes." "But if he's ill then why not use magic what's his illness?" "I don't know and magic haven't been working." "Is the mother of this Chantry still here?" "She is yes just turn right and she'll be there."
"By the way I've found this note on a Templar." "Oh my friend yes he was helping me in my search. Hmm he mentions a scholar I'll look for him after going back to Redcliff." "I'll see you later Alistair and good luck in stopping Loghain and forming your army." "Thanks you too."
Alistair meets with the mother of the Chantry and asks if there's anything she can do to help in their quest to stop Loghain but she hesitates in helping from hearing Loghain say that the Grey Wardens are the ones behind the king's death.
Alistair asks if there is anyone she knows in the village that is willing to help against the blight but she does not. Alistair gives thirty silver to the Chantry to help the villagers evacuate the village before the horde arrives.
(Christina and Doni in the Tavern)
"Ok Doni let's ask the bartender for any information." Doni Barks happily. "Hey what can I get you?" The bartender asks, "Have you heard any information or rumours about Loghain?"
Well people have been saying he's the reason the king died at Ostagar. But he says it's the Grey Wardens fault that the king died." That's a lie! She slammed her fist to the counter as she shouted at the bartender.
Everyone went quiet after hearing her shout and look at her. A group of armed men walk towards Christina and they say; "You look like familiar are you a Grey Warden?" Christina takes a deep breath to calm down and she answer the man asking the question.
"I am yes why you ask?" She says as she turns to face him. You are under arrest of murder of the king" "Loghain is the murder….sigh you are Loghain's men aren't you?" "We are and we know the truth you murder" Doni begins to growl at Loghain's men.
A red haired woman shows up tries to stop the fight from happening in the tavern. "Gentlemen please this is not the place to begin a fight people have suffered enough from the blight and they don't need to suffer more because you lot to start a fight in here."
So you side with this Murder? Fine we'll just kill you for siding with her. "Sister please you don't need to get involved in this let me and my mabari handle them."
"I can defend myself you know." Bartender shouts saying; "Enough if you lot are going to fight do it outside. They agreed and walked out they found space to fight then began to draw their weapons.
Alistair spots her getting ready for a fight and rushes over to her. "Uh Christina what's going on?" "These are Loghain's men and they've just signed their death warrants." "Need help milady?" "No I'm good me and Doni can deal with these fools."
The sister gets out her weapons and helps out with Christina. "Let me show you what I can do in this fight." Christina looks at her and admires her courage to stand and fight also it will be good to see what she can do.
"Very Well sister." They all get in their battle stance. Christina points her sword at the leader of the group. "Come on fools first." Christina says with a smile on her face. (Christina, the sister and Doni against five of Loghain's men)
Loghain's men charge at them with any plan what so ever they were reckless and rash. Doni rounds around them as the charge in and attack from behind, the sister and Christina waited for them to get near before making their move.
The leader of Loghain's men went after Christina for calling him a fool and blaming the crime on Loghain. Christina knew how'd he'll respond to that and knew she could easily beat him. The leader thrust his sword at her but she dodges it and hits him with her shield.
With the leader unbalanced against the attack he went down flying a few feet away from Christina and rolling from the hit of her shield. The sister started fighting two of Loghain's men. Blocking one their attacks and kicking one away from her so she'll deal with next one.
Doni is attacking the archer of the group and is trying to bit him. Christina gets attacked by another man of Loghain's. He swings his long sword at his but Christina moves out of the way in time she quickly counter attacks the long swordsman.
Christina swings her sword aiming for the long swordsman side before he swings again. Her sword hits the soldier side, the soldier grunts in pain from the attack he quickly tries to swing his sword but Christina thrusts her sword and her sword goes through the soldier in the middle.
The soldier dies and she moves on to the leader. The leader gets up sees her coming and manages to get up in time, they both then started to fight. Doni manages to kill the archer and then moves to help the sister.
The sister was fast paced with her blades blocking attacks and killing one with both of her blades in his stomach. She pulls it out and rushes to Christina as she was about to kill leader. She shouts saying "don't kill him!"
Christina stops after hearing the sister telling her to stop. "What why?" Christina replied "He is defeated he can't harm you anymore yet him go." Says the sister, the other soldier manages to get away from Doni and runs after the sister.
Christina sees him really close to the sister and runs to her thrusting her sword. The sister thinks she coming after her but then she dodges the attack from Christina but then sees she was really after the soldier that was about to kill the sister.
Christina sword in the soldier's stomach, she pulls it out and swings her sword chopping off his head. The sister felt a little embarrassed that she thought that she was attacking her. Christina puts away her sword and walked towards the sister.
"You better have a good reason why I should let him go." The sister notices a mixed of anger and sadness in Christina's eyes. "He is no-more a threat to you, you beat him." Christina sees the leader getting up slowly from his wounds.
Christina walks towards the leader and punches him in the stomach and face. She did that knowing that the sister is right. Alistair walks to her and says "Ok milady that's enough the battle is over."
The leader gets back up from the hits; Christina had calmed down eventually and said "Take a message to Loghain." The leader nodded and asked what does she want to tell him, "Tell Loghain that maker has put a death sentence on him and I'll be the one to kill him."
Out of fear the leader ran away from as fast as he could. Knowing that Christina saved the sister's life she can't help but feel sorry for Christina and feel something else but she wasn't sure what feeling it is yet.
