Hi guys I have been really busy lately and I haven't been able to work on the story, plus school has been being a jerk, so if I can't update as often please don't hate me. I will give you cookies, magic cookies…
Joven did not like the Kocari wilds, it was too swampy for his tastes, you could hardly take two steps before you stepped in a puddle of agley covered water, or be attacked by mosquitos the size of your finger. It probably didn't help that he grew up in a tower, a very clean tower, but he decided when he found some darkspawn, he would use all of this crazy water to his advantage.
"Alistair where are the darkspawn?" asked Aren seemingly unaffected by everything in the wilds, including, the wilds.
"I don't know, there are so many out here that it's hard to pinpoint the exact locations of them."
"I thought that's why you were here! Now we're just going to die by these stupid mutant mosquitos." Joven said angrily.
"I'm still a junior member, you know what I don't have to justify anything to you. And if were pointing fingers-."
"Guys, get over here now!" Aren screamed
Joven and Alistair stopped their staring contest to look were Aren was, only to see a female figure face down in the mud, barley moving.
"Sod it all" Joven said under his breath. Why are there so many obstacles! If the stupid shem was useful they could at least have the blood by now, and now they have to take some more time to help a dying person!
"Joven do you have those bandages with you?" asked Aren once he got over there
"Nope, I'm saving those for us."
"Joven! Are you knife ears so barbaric you wouldn't help her!" yelled ser Jory
"I never said I wasn't going to help her at all, and remember there's another "knife ear" right by you that could kill you before you could blink." Joven yelled back.
"He's right ser knight, maybe you should be more respectful." Said Davath trying to stop them before they killed each other, or worse brought darkspawn upon them
Joven spread his finger wide and then a blue and white nebulous star flew from them and into the man's chest. The man's breathing hitched for a second, before stopping completely. Jory was getting ready to run Joven thorough with his sword before he started hearing the girl's breathing regularize.
"Hello, Thedas to person that almost died, are you there?" Joven said "If you aren't then I'm going to steal you money ok?" Joven made his voice sound like he was talking to a three year old.
"Joven!" Aren hissed, "Leave the poor girl alone." And Jory is going to have a hissy fit for this, she added mentally to herself.
The girl turned on her back to see the two elves standing over her, she did not react well, well, she reacted by sweeping their legs out from under them.
"Ow, next person that we find dying on the road, we keep going!" Joven exclaimed.
"Yuck what did I land in?" Aren got up and turned her head only to see a corpse with its stomach open, even worse, there was a head shaped indent inside it. Upon seeing this Aren's face bleached and she ran off in to a bush to empty her stomach.
Joven shot out ice underneath the girl's feet, smiling when he saw her lose her balance and fall.
"Alistair, can I kill her?" asked Joven, nobody was sure if he was kidding or not. "No,
"Hello mam, what is your name?" Alistair asked the girl who was still trying to get to her feet.
"It's, Shaylan, Shaylan Cousland." "Umph!" she added the last part after another failed attempt to stand.
Joven stamped over to her.
"You have two seconds to explain why you tripped us after we helped you!" Joven decided he might have anger issues, that or he just couldn't be in swamps ever again.
"You said you were going to take my stuff." She said in a small voice.
Joven face palmed himself. "Alistair," Joven breathed out a sigh "I think we found someone stupider then you, creators help us all!" how these stupid shems survived on there on, let alone destroy his culture was a complete mystery to him.
"Hey, guys, where's Aren?" Davath asked turning his head around.
No sooner had he finished that sentence then they heard a bone chilling shriek.
"Aren?" Joven yelled "where are you?"
Without warning Alistair took off like an arrow from Aren bow, right in the direction that the scream was heard at.
"Alistair, where are you going?" asked Jory
"Nooooo, don't leave me with them!" Joven finished his statement by waving his arms towards the three humans, all of which didn't seem thrilled at being with him either.
Joven suddenly doubled over in pain as he heard a voice in his head screaming at him.
"Go, after the shem, go save Aren, if she is lost so are we all!"
"Ok magic voice in my head which probably means I'm crazy, let's go!"
All the others looked at Joven who was still talking to himself; they only followed him to make sure he didn't run in to any darkspawn all alone.
Joven: Hey muse, why do you keep leaving me randomly?
Muse: because you need to focus on school, you already have a C in social studies!
Joven: that fatty is out to get me, he gave us all too much work!
Muse: You've never had trouble before. What's happening now?
Joven blushes furiously : It doesn't matter, besides if you're in my head then you should know!
Muse: Oh that's right, let's see what was that girls name again?
Joven: SHUT UP, THE READERS DON'T WANT TO KNOW, AND IF YOU UTTER A WORD OF THIS I WILL SMACK YOU WITH A FRYING PAN AAREGRAGHRGRUUU!
Muse: I can't hear you! *runs away
Joven: GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE… WHAT EVER YOU ARE.
