Andraste's flaming sword! What is going on! I have word from Wynne, but they have told me here she has been kidnapped! Wynne seems to believe you are innocent, and nothing, nothing gets past her. She has said I may send correspondence to First Enchanter Irving. Does he know your where abouts?
Where are you? I need you to tell me what happened. I need to hear it from your mouth, and then I will believe you.
Alistair.

Still no word. Where are you? Why have you not replied? Makers breath, will you just not send me one note!

Elissa She was a beautiful, fair and loving woman. She did not deserve this. I need to speak to you, I am ordering you to seek me out, or tell me where you are. Alistair.
Tell me where you are, damn it! This has gone on too long. Amelia has been buried back in her home town now. The funeral was tainted with nobility pretending to know her, and everybody had been looking around for you. They half expected you to jump out at any moment.

I can wait for you no longer. I have set a bounty for your head. If you do, by chance, manage to get yourself caught, please do not struggle. They have been ordered not to harm you, and I have chosen my best men. Please, they are doing their jobs, do not harm them.
Alistair.

Please, Elissa. Just tell me where you are. I swear I will trust you with what you have to say. Just let me know you are still alive. I care for you too much to know you are in danger. I'm trying not to watch.
They almost making love in corridors and at any other chance they seen to see me. Do they want to remind me of our time together? Were we so ....shameless? I miss that.
Zevran has simply concluded he is trying to track you down, as he cannot let your absence go any longer. I have given him my permission to stay at the Palace. Is Leliana supposed to be taking her vows as a sister? Can she even do that? I can't imagine what the Chantry would do... they do have rules on that kind of thing.
Please just tell me where you are. Alistair.

Why have I heard nothing? No letter, no word, no sign of you! What is going on at the castle!

I am getting so sick of waiting here! I have sent a formal invitation to two mages here I wish to recruit. I wish to send them to Amaranthine. They are lovers, and they have been plotting to escape the castle, as she is with child. I need to send word to Amaranthine to collect her. They may go through the joining after the birth of the babe, maker bless them. They will panic soon, and I fear they will be discovered and do something foolish. I will not wait around here like a fool any longer. Elissa

Some warning Anora is becoming Queen would be nice. I was close to choking, you hear, on my lunch. Wynne cast Stonefist, and knocked the stuffing (quite literally) out of me. If I have not heard from you soon, I am taking matters into my own hands.

Castles are so romantic to stay in, are they not? There are no serious threats on your head, and Alistair seems content at pretending this whole affair never happened. He is miserable, though, and spends most of his days in his room. The servants tell us he is mourning the loss of his wife to be. I am not so sure, Elissa. Zev and I are pretending to be lovers and it seems to make him reminisce, and you can see the sadness in his eyes. He did mention you never contacted him, and he has no idea where you are. I thought you said you had sent him letters? In this case, I fear they have been intercepted. Send your next letter to the Pearl. Zevran will find it there.
Makers Blessings Leliana and Zevran.

Why have I not heard from you? Have you received any of my letters? We are very close to unveiling the woman who put you here. I fear we are in danger, Elissa. We must be more careful from now on. You need to move from the Circle, we fear she may know your whereabouts. Get out of there.
Leliana.

First Enchanter Irving
Where is she? Where is Wynne? Why did I only receive one letter? Is there reason? Why are you protecting her? I demand you tell me where she is! If I hear no word, I am going to march to you directly. I demand you tell me! King Alistair Theirin.
Anora scoffed, looking through her pile of parchment. Fools. She scoffed. The bard and the assassin had been too close, too close. She looked out of her window. She had been given a suite within the castle now, with promise of being Queen, as a ruse, so Alistair thought. Still, her guard's blood still stained the paths outside. He had been on an errand, planning to request an audience with Alistair. Then he was dead, a silent, cold death. It did not bother her – it saved her the work later. Otherwise, everything had gone to plan. All letters had been intercepted on route; however, several of the letters, even the most trained apostates could not open. There was rumour a dark haired mage in Orlais was familiar with that form of ancient magic, but there was no time to find such a woman.
She turned to her new servant and flashed him a sweet smile.
"My dear boy....I need you to request King Alistair's audience immediately. I have some news he would be most interested in." She smiled, undoing the first button on her blouse.
"I would reward you most handsomely..." She smiled, walking towards him, her hips swinging from side to side.
The servant gulped, looking towards the window. He had witnessed the attack first hand. She leaned into his ear, whispering quietly.
"You see the king, or I tell the guards that you were very inappropriate. If you do bring him here, and quickly, I will reward you..." She undid the next button, exposing more of her breast. The servant moved then, bolting past the two guards stationed at the door.
