So, this is the first of my extra chapters all of which I'm going to label as Glimpses, for that is what they are, glimpses into other lives other than out main characters. Some might be short like this one others might be longer, like whole chapters. We'll just see how it turns out.
Glimpse 1
"I bring word sire." Arl Rendon Howe said, approaching the new Regent with mild hesitation. Loghain had a short temper these days especially with the impending civil war and the Darkspawn shadowing his rule. "There are demands from the Bannorn that you step down from regency. They are said to be gathering their forces as are your...allies..." He took a moments breath to watch Loghain's movements. The man didn't seem to angry so he continued, "It seems it will be civil war afterall, despite the Darkspawn. Pity..."
"I also have an interesting report." This got Loghain's attention and Howe saw the man perk up a bit. "There seem to be Grey Wardens who suvived Ostagar. How, I don't know, but they will act against you." Howe saw Loghain nodding his head in agreement, even though the other man was facing the opposite way towards the fire roaring in the fireplace.
"I have arranged for, uh...a solution." At this Loghain did turn around. Howe immediately realied why he had stayed hidden for the past few days; his eyes looked sucken in with great circles of blue and black lining their bottom. His cheeks had become a bit more hollow than they should be. The wrinkles a top his brow and beside his cheeks were deep crevices and shown incredibly dark against the firelight behind him.
"...With your leave..." Howe bowed away pointing in the direction of a blonde haired elf with long hair. "The Antivan Crows send their regards." His 'r's rolled off his tongue with showing the accent of an Antivan citizen. He was quite young, perhaps Anora's age, though probably even less. His hair was feathered and layered in an odd way that created a striking beauty around his face. He had a curved pattern on the left side of his face that started at his brow and ended just above his jaw. He was an absolutely stunning individual with sparkling blue eyes and a cocky smile. Loghain stared at him for a moment. He shook his head turning back toward the fire.
"An assassin?"
"Against the Grey Wardens we will need the very best." Howe explained.
"Haha, and the most expensive." The elf said. Loghain turned his head for half a moment.
"Just get it done." Both the assassin and Howe bowed and left his presence then, leaving in awkward silence to find his new targets. The assassin took out a description of the man he was to kill. An elf with unusually pale skin, copper colored hair that is long and fashioned with two small braids that come together to trail down his neck. He is small, even for an elf, and has extremely green eyes.
He was intrigued by the description of his next hit. This was going to be very interesting.
