Phase 3: Victory over Blood
You could feel the tension throught the crowded room as thirty something mages gathered behind you preaparing for battle. Anders basically held on to you nervously not wanting you to join the fight. He had begged you not to fight but he knew he would not win the argument seeing he knew all to well that you could manage. After all you did kill Meredith. Grace stood behind you with an angry look at the way Anders reacted around you as if there was no one else in the room. (Me: MWAHAHA! He's MINE!)
Suddenly, the doors opened and The First Encahnter Irving walked through the doors catiously and stopped by your feet.
"This is Madness!" he exclaimed. "I understand what your trying to do, but if we fail it will be a slaughter house, even worse then the Right of Annulement."
"I gaurantee you." you say strenly. "We will not fail!" You turn around and face th others.
"What First Enchanter Irving says is correct." you face the crowd. "This is not going to be a glorious battle, war is never ending and it is never beautiful. However, today we will make our stand here and History will forever be changed. We will win, and we will show the world Mage's are humans too!"
Everyone cheers quietly not to alarm any Templars, but you can tell your speach inspired them as their faces beamed with pride.
"I guess..." Irving says slightly. "Champion, if anyone can do it, it's you."
"Glad to know you have faith in me." you say laughing slightly.
Grace approaches you and Anders.
"I'm ready when you are Anders!" she says ignoring you.
He looks at her puzzeled but turns to you, grabs your hand and leads you to a quiter section of the room.
"Listen." he says. "I know we discussed this but-"
"Anders!" you cut him off. " I know what your thinking but I am fighting! You act as though I'm some weakling that can't take care of myself!"
"I know you can take care of yourself Hawke!" he says. "But it doesn't stop me from worrying about you..."
"I know Anders." you say quietly placing your hand on his cheek.
"I love-" Anders was cut of as Eric slammed through the doors signaling that the time had come.
Silence filled the entire room as they stared at your for guidance. SO you head to the front of the group and nod your head to attack.
All hell broke loose. As mages spread throught the entire chantry heading to the main part slowly. One by one Templars bodies hit the floor dead, the remaining where shocked at the surprise attack and all stared with the look of betrayal towards Eric a fellow Templar. You hacked your way through easily making it to the main entrance of the Circle where the real battle was to begin. A young mage boy was stabbed through the heart by a Templars sword, and died right by your feet. You instantly killed him and looked around the room to find Anders. But what you saw horrified you beyond anything imaginable.
Lori...how could you?
There beyond the far corner every mage stopped and watched Lori's wrists covered with massive amounts of blood pooring out. And beneath her the ground started to rumble and shake the Walls. A large crack appeared underneath her as a Diabolical dragon like Beast emerged from the ground. You where confused, you had never seen or heard of any blood magic being able to conjure such a terrifying beast. You even felt scared. You searched around the room and saw the look on Ander's face. He knew what it was as he stared in horror.
Your eyes met as he conjured up a protective field and ran towards you with all his might.
You ended up in his protective field as he detached himself from you.
"Listen Hawke!" he said in a panicked voice. "This force field will protect you, I can't let you fight any longer!"
You where about to resist, until you saw the familiar look of Justice.
"No!" Justice and Ander's both say. "Listen Hawke, this is no ordinary Beast this is 'Intridius' an ancinet God who turned against man as they became corrupt and evil. It destroys everything in it's path. How Lori was able to conjure such a beast I have no answers, but this is beyond Blood Magic she sacrificed her life to bring this hellish wrath upon us."
"I don't care!" you say. "Let me Fight! You can't fight it by yourself!" you screamed as you could see the Beast easily killing the Mages and Templars whichever got in it's way.
"Forgive me..." Anders says as he cuts his wrist and performs blood magic on the protective shield. "I will never use this again, but it will keep you alive and that's good enough for me. Only blood magic will save you from 'Intridius'."
You where so shocked at Anders and even more confused that Justice would allow it. But it made sense that Anders was less likely to be infected by a demon seeing a 'good spirit' already inhabited his body. None the less you couldn't believe Anders for doing this as he turend around with the most painful look on his face. You screamed and screamed but no one could here you through the barrier. You watched in horror as everyone was dying and as Anders stood and faced 'Intridius'.
Phase 4: Fallen Angel
"Dammit!" you yell.
You watched as Eric watched his beloved kill everyone with the beast she had conjured. As she layed inisde the Beast's hand. You knew the feeling of betrayal that was going through his mind as he fell to his knee's.
And there in front of 'Intiridus' and in front of his wife. Eric took his own life...
Many mage's and Templars stopped attacking one another and faced the feindish Ancient God now unleashed to the world it so despised.
Ander's began attacking the beast unsuccesully, to the Beats Anders attacks felt as someone was poking him.
'Intridius' became aggrivating at the annoying human who was attacking him and slammed his hand towards Anders. The tears poured down your face as you watched Ander's body slam against the wall as blood trickled down his head.
You noticed the berrier he conjured was weakining as it floated right above the beast and Lori's soon to be lifeless body that was sustaning "Intridius's' wrath. And an idea came to mind, as you pushed yourself through the berrier. And fell down quickly as your weapon stabbed thorugh the heart of Lori.
White Light.
You felt your self slowing submerging into to darkness as you look at Anders.
"Anders..." you say one last time.
Where you dreming, you thought to yourself as you flew over the world. You watched mankind and every horrifying thing imaginable you saw. Your wings that stratced as long as an aiplane wing felt heavy on your back, as tears fell down to the burned world.
You never felt like this before or ever had a dream so vivid it was almost like a memory to you, and for an instance you felt like a Fallen Angel.
