Ch4! Yay so happy to write this for you guys! I hope you enjoy reading this story!
I realize I have yet to do a disclaimer… I OWN NOT THE GAME DRAGON AGE 2, only Rani Hawke, and the story plot, heeheehee. That's all, now to the story.
Varic was worried, but he was growing annoyed by the elf's constant pacing. Hawke had been gone for over three weeks, and that assassin had been staying with them to help find her. Varic had been worried about his broody friend who had been seen many a night pacing Hightown. Aveline had told him about all the complaints the elf was getting, and so he thought he should talk with his friend. Not that much talking was happening, every time the dwarf opened his mouth the elf glared it shut. Finally Fenris stopped and the look on his face could melt even a darkspawn's heart, it was full of hopelessness and longing, but as quick as it was there it was gone again. "She's not in Kirkwall, so why…" he was interrupted by a knock at the door. Seeing as the elf wasn't going to get it Varic got up to answer the door.
It was a boy with a letter, Varic paid him a few silver and sent him on his way. The letter was addressed to Fenris, and it was sealed with a Triventer seal. Varic was curios and quickly returned to his friend. "Elf, you have a letter from Triventer, I didn't know you were still in contact with anyone there." Fenris paused before taking the letter and inspecting it. As soon as he saw the seal Fenris dropped it and let out a growl. "Easy Elf, what's the problem?" Varric picked up the letter and lifted the wax seal, without consent from Fenris read began reading the letter aloud. "Dear Leto, I know you're curious as to why this letter has Denarius's seal, well that's because I have taken over and claimed his manor…" Before he could read more Fenris ripped the letter out of his hand and began reading it.
Dear Leto,
I know your curious as to why this letter has Denarius's seal, well that's because I have taken over and claimed his manor. A friend of yours is here as we speak, but she is indisposed at the moment. Oh well, Rani Hawke deserves this, she took you away from me. Now before you get to angry with me, I have a deal for you. In exchange for releasing your dear Hawke, you must come here and become my loyal servant.
If you would rather be free, then I will just make a slave out of Hawke. The choice is yours, but one thing is for sure. This will be your last chance to see Rani Hawk ever again, that is, unless I choose to hunt you down and kill you.
Love your dearest sister,
Varania
P.S. This letter was written in Hawke's blood so that you would know I'm serious.
Fenris felt his blood run cold and the letter slipped from his hands to the floor. His sister, the person Hawke had him spare, is a magister, a blood mage, and worse she was the one who kidnapped Hawke. Regaining his composer Fenris looked at the Dwarf who had just finished reading the letter and was staring at him. "Varric, I need to save Hawke, and I don't plan on becoming a slave again to do it." His voice was gruff, and Varric could only nod at his friends' statement. Never in the four years he had known the elf, did Fenris ever sound so sure about what he must do, not even when he talked about killing Denarius.
The elf left the room hastily, with Varric close behind. His destination was clear, and the dwarf smirked as he thought about what was about to go down. This may be one of the most interesting stories he'd ever tell, well other than the one of Hawke taking on the Arishock in one on one combat with only a dagger and with one hand tied behind her back.
Sorry this is short, but I wanted to leave a little mystery about what's to come.
