Chapter 7-

Evangeline woke up the next morning surprisingly well-rested, ready to start the day with her newborn baby girl. Although the child had woken Evangeline and Bull a couple of times during the night, they didn't mind. They were both ready to start a family, and now that the baby was delivered, the couple knew that defeating Corypheus was now their top priority. Defeating Corypheus was important, as they knew they needed to keep their daughter safe from The Elder One. Evangeline put some regular clothes on, and then dressed Mireille in her handmade clothing that Jospehine so graciously put together for her.

Evangeline and Bull left the room with Mireille in their arms, as they went down to the tavern to eat breakfast. Bull and Evangeline sat at their usual table, trying not to draw too much attention to themselves, which was impossible. Evangeline and her new baby girl were the talk of Skyhold. Everyone wanted to see and hold the baby. They were approached by a random stranger, a woman in armor with her blonde locks tied back out of the way in a ponytail. Evangeline felt that something was off with this woman, but she didn't want to say anything, for fear of being rude. "Greetings, Lady Inquisitor. I just wanted to congratulate you and your partner on your daughter's birth." The woman bowed, a humble gesture, but Evangeline felt she was hiding something. Evangeline was somewhat suspicious, but she smiled and nodded, for the sake of being polite.

"May I hold the child?" The woman smiled and held out her arms to hold Mireille. Evangeline felt her heart drop. She didn't trust this woman, and she wasn't willing to trust her, let alone let her hold her baby. Bull could sense Evangeline's discomfort with the woman's presence, so he put a heavy hand on her shoulder, helping her relax. Evangeline reluctantly handed her daughter off to the shady woman's outstretched arms. The woman gladly took the child from her mother's arms. "Oh, how precious is she?" The woman cooed, bouncing the baby slightly. It was then that Mireille started to wail, so Evangeline quickly took the baby from the woman. "She must be hungry." Lied Evangeline, bearing a fake grin. The woman gave Evangeline a slight glare, and bowed once more. "Well then, good day." The woman stormed out of the tavern, almost knocking the minstrel over in the process.

Bull looked at his Dalish lover. "What was that all about, Kadan?" He asked, thinking Evangeline was being slightly rude to the strange woman. Evangeline pulled down the front of her top as Mireille latched onto her breast, having breakfast of her own. "I didn't feel comfortable with that woman holding, let alone being near our child, Bull. She just seemed suspicious, just something about her.. was off." Evangeline felt it was important to trust her instincts, especially now that Corypheus was on a manhunt to find and eliminate her. But she knew she was probably just being a bit over-zealous with the woman a few minutes before, right?

Brota Hrodwyn clenched her teeth together. This Inquisitor was a clever one. She knew it wouldn't be easy to fool the so-called "Herald of Andraste". Red lyrium danced and weaved itself in between her fingers as she held her hand out in front of her, as though she were looking at a ring. She couldn't help but emit a sinister chuckle as she left the save haven of Skyhold, ready to report back to Corypheus.

Corypheus stood in a secluded cave in the Frostback Mountains, not letting the sting of sunlight touch his pasty, dead skin. He felt humiliated to be outsmarted by a Dalish Elf back at the battle of Haven. Corypheus made a vow to himself, that once he got his hands on that elf, he would crush her like a twig. He vowed he would bend her arms backward, slowly and painfully, until they dislocated themselves from the sockets. Corypheus found himself to be full of hatred. The echo of entering footsteps disrupted the heinous and unspeakable thoughts running through his mind. "Master Corypheus, I have found the girl." Announced Brota. Corypheus didn't even look over his shoulder at her. "Go on..." He growled. "She is in Skyhold as we speak. She is currently in a relationship with the Qunari Mercenary known as The Iron Bull. She has just given birth to a baby girl. But.. Corypheus.. she knows you are after her. She didn't trust me being near her." Corypheus folded his hands behind his back. "Well, it seems that the girl is more intelligent than I give her credit for. But she is nestled safely in Skyhold?" He chuckled. "Not for long, i'm afraid." He turned his attention back to Broca. "You have done your job well, my dear. However," he strode toward her ominously. "It seems that I have no further need of your assistance, Brota." He suddenly drew his hand back, and impaled the red templar on his hand, drawing her closer, until his mouth was next to her ear. "I will take it from here." He unceremoniously ripped his hand out of her chest, holding her heart in his hand. He hurled the heart off of the cliff as the red templar fell backwards, dead before she even hit the ground. Blood trickled out of her mouth, as it pooled underneath her, staining her blonde hair a deep shade of crimson. He simply picked her up by the arm, and dropped her carcass off of the cliff. Corypheus couldn't help the sick smile that crossed his face as he overlooked the view, with Skyhold a few miles in the distance. "I am coming for you, 'Herald'."

Hey guys, sorry this chapter was so short. I'm just lacking a bit in inspiration, but I will hopefully start the next chapter soon for you guys to enjoy. I had to add that Red Templar Spy that infiltrated Skyhold, because something interesting had to happen. Let me know if you guys want me to add anything or if you have any ideas for the next chapter. Thank you guys for your help and support! :) The next chapter will be up soon.
