Hope you take care of yourself, Solas "Daere muttered softly, she used one of her hands to brush back her hair as she kissed him on the forehead while he slept. Carefully she stood while the first rays from the sun started to crack through the window as she walked quietly out of his room, she could hear a male voice remark down the hall"I know your upset Taliesin but you were the one to break things off with him in the first place."
"I know i was but how can we trust her? How could he lead her into his room like that?"Taliesin snapped,Daere paused as she looked towards the stairs expecting to see Taliesin and her companion to come up, but the voices did not sound like they were moving as the other elf stated"It sounds to me your jealous,Taliesin"
"That is the other thing why would I be jealous of someone that can't tap into her abilities without causing some type of damage "Taliesin sneered as Daere quickly made her way down the hall towards the studied room,she paused while watching Craven lean the chair back as he kept his eyes she cleared her throat then asked"Craven..your name is Craven right..do you think you can help me out?"
"Yeah, what can I help you with?"Craven asked as he sat the chair legs onto the floor, Daere walked into the room as he studied her with a shocked expression while he added"i figured you would be still asleep."
"What is that suppose to mean."Daere inquired, she stopped and looked around the small room while he replied"The walls might be stone, but the two of you were not really trying to be quiet, so what made you change your mind?"
"you know women can get pent up tension to while traveling...look do you think you can open the eluvian for me, i need to grab a few things."acted abit coil while she spoke, gently she chewed on her lip as he got up from his seat then walked over to the eluvian while asking"And your coming back?"
"Depends."Daere replied innocently while she walked over to him, a faint purple mist danced on her fingertips as Craven asked with his back turned to her"Where to?"
"Amaranthine please"Daere answered,she stopped and looked back to see if the others were coming only to be greeted by the empty halls while he turned to look at turned her head just as Craven opened his mouth to speak, Daere stopped him as she rested her hand onto his she allowed her lips to touch him then muttered as a faint black vain spread on his face" thank you Craven...oh and one more thing."
"Yes?"Craven inquired as his gaze seem lifeless,Daere studied his face as she stepped back the guilt ate at her while she demanded"You are going to hand me your weapons and once i walk through your going to deactivate the eluvian, if anyone asks about me..you never saw me in fact i never existed."
"Yes dalen."Craven voice stated in a mellow tone, he unhilted his song doa while she stepped took the blades from him then hilt them to her sides while she walked towards the eluvian,the eluvian ripple as she step outside forcing her to shield her eyes as they suns rays blinded looked back only to see her own reflection before making her way past some dying trees, something glowing cause her to stop and etch closer to the tilted her ear up as she thought 'what is lyrium doing growing on the base, why is it red?'
"well look what the darkspawn dragged in"Kira voice cause Daere to clench her teeth together in annoyance ,slowly she turned her head as Nicneven and Kira walk up to her."while she "Daere, your alive i thought for certain you were dead."
"No thanks to you."Daere growled her response, Nicneven remarked as they stop "we did tell you to run did we not? No matter we have decided to go with our second plan and would appreciate if you came with us."
"What are you planning?"Daere inquired, an uneasiness grew as the two tevinter women looked at each other then back at her Kira spoke "come with us and find out."
"Honestly i don't think I want to."Daere stated, Nicneven took a step forward as she inquired sharply "why the change knife ear?Don't you want to make a difference for your people or is there something your not telling us?"
"Are we really going to play this game? You fucking left me with not much of a warning."Daere snapped slowly,Kira started to walked over to her while she replied "come back and I promise to make it up to you."
"I got a better idea."Daere remarked while she raised her hand, the women stopped in their tracks as purple flames surrounded she threatened"you get past these flames unshaved maybe i will consider allowing you to live."
"your a mage?"Kira inquired in shock,Daere shook her head as she answered while a small trace of blood started to develop at the edge of her nose"not a mage.. I don't have that much in me to really be considered a mage, are you going to take my challenge or not."
"This is going to be to easy."Nicneven muttered as she studied Daere, Kira looked at Nicneven then back at Daere as the blood started to trail down to her lip"Daere, I don't understand why are you doing this?"
"because like i said in the beginning the knife ear cant be trust, Kira get her from the back I will distract her from the front"Nicneven sneered, as she outstretched her hand. Kira stared at Daere then nodded as she slipped into stealth. Daere relaxed her body as she rested her hands on the song doa while she waited,suddenly before Kira came out of stealth screamed out in pain"Nicneven help me!"
"Kira!I don't understand my barrier..."Nicneven stared in horror at her friend, she tried desperately to dispel the flames with no prevail. Daere crossed her arms as she watched them struggle,Kira turned to her while she dug her nails into her skin"What did you do it me?"
"I forgot to mention the flames tend to eat at other mages magick."Daere replied calmly, she could hear a flatter from a bird's wing behind her causing her to turn her gaze towards the tree.A black bird stared back at her as Kira shouted in panic"Why can't i put it out?Nicenevn help me!Please I beg of you!"
"I am trying..what spell is this knife ear!?"Nicneven shouted angrily, Daere looked back at the two while w Nicneven conture to use dispel"Nicneven you might as well end Kira suffering your wasting your mana. But if you want me to explain what is happening to Kira, she experiencing her body burn literally from the inside only the outside had touched the flames but from what i have been told no amount of physical energy could put it out, those flames will continue until the very essaint of her soul is consumed...it takes a while for that to happen so in your words what are you waiting for kill her."
"unforgivable."Nicneven whispered as she casted a powerful lightning spell at Kira, Kira raised her hand to her face and scream while Daere muttered"yes yes unforgivable, should have thought about that before you guys insisted i kill my friends. "
"You will pay for this i swear i will kill you for for what you have force me to do!" Nicneven shouted as Daere bent over, she reached into her boots as the purple flames started to die down. Nicneven readied herself to cast another spell as Daere pulled out a needle, in mid sentence she threw her weapon and watched as it embedded in Nicneven stood there in shock while her hands reach up, Daere stood up slowly as she asked with a mock i her tone"Oh lovely mage what are you going to do, are you going to pull it out and bleed or allow the poison to consume you."
"what nothing can't talk you over confident bitch?"Daere asked angrily,blood developed at the corner of Nicneven mouth as her hand touches the end of the managed to whispered while she yanked the needle out"Dumat will see my death will be avenged knife ear, you will soon follow to your own demise."
"Do you have to be so dramatic when you die?"Daere inquired as Nicneven fall lifelessly to the ground, blood gushed from her open wound as Daere touched under her nose while she walked away .Slowly she pulled her hand back and looked at her fingertips to reveal the red blood, with a sigh she muttered"I need to be more careful."
"We are wasting our time here, we already picked this place clean."A male voice remarked, Daere looked up then pressed her back against a tree, several tevinter came into view from what seemed out of held her breath as she listen to the sound of heavy armor walk past her, another spoke up as they made their way towards the direction she had came
"I know but Chase is being stubborn. "
'Why are they here?'Daere wondering as she looked back at them, carefully she moved away from the tree then made her way down the familiar forest path.A familiar made her smile as the abandoned cabin came into view, softly she muttered to herself"Hopefully there are a few things still left from any bandits."
The wood felt odd under her hand as she opened the door wider, to her surprise nothing seemed to be amiss as she made her way cabin was a mess, she noticed quickly the scorch marks along the walls before her eyes fall upon the body of a tevinter muttered while she stared in disbelief."But they told me June was the one to attack, what is going on."
"Get Chase there is a knife ear standing in the doorway."a male voice shouted behind her, Daere turned her head just as an arrow flew past her head, she clenched her teeth together as a growl vibrated at the base of her red temple placed the flench of the arrow in its place as a couple more started to walk over to her, calmly one spoke"Come on knife ear there is no place for you to run, preferably we are going to take you back with us if you fight back will depend if you will be missing some limbs."
"You won't be the first set of templars I had to dealt with."Daere replied as she unhilt the song doa, the templare stopped then laughed at her as she readied her turned his head while he ordered"With my command aim for her legs if you need to but we are instructed to bring in all elves we come across back alive."
"Yes sir."The red templar archer replied ashe brought the string back, without thinking with the Song dao at hand Daere closed the door just as the red templar let go of the arrow made a loud thump as it hit the door, she could hear the templars shouting"Get inside and get her."
""Yes sir!"She could hear the red templars respond as she blocked the front door with the table,Daere looked around nervously while she thought 'I need to get out of here..dammit why does this need to be more complex than it needs to be, if I can make it back to town maybe the guards will help me.'
"You really think your going to get away from us that easily, bitch!? "She could here the commander red templar shout as they started to kick the door,Daere back up slowly as the door started to give way. Suddenly it stopped, Daere stood there as the red templar commander demanded"How did you get out."
"It does not matter I am not allowing you to harm my sister."she could hear the darkness in her brothers tone as he spoke,the red templar commander waste not time ordering"Restain him, I will deal with the other elf myself."
"No you won't,Daere if that is you in there as soon as I get a clearing you run this place is not safe for us"Darcy threatened, Daere shook her head and muttered"What am I doing I should be out there, not hiding."
"We will have both your lives, the elder one demands we take it to force open the eluvian."The red templar commander remarked,Dacry snapped as one of the templars screamed in pain"you will have to find some other way."
"Don't open the door." a faint voice whispered,Daere looked behind her only to find an empty room as a knock on the front door was weak but Darcy spoke"Daere let me in I need to see if you are alright."
"Darcy what is going on?Daere inquired as she pushed the table from her side, she nearly stopped as she felt eyes follow her every wasted no time opening the door only to collapse onto the ground, Daere knelt beside him as he laid on his he remarked"You should not have came back if you were out of harm's way sister."
"What are you talking about?What are those marks?"Daere inquired while she noticed the red veins on his neck, she reached out to touch to get a better look but his hand smark her away as he growled"Don't touch me."
"But you are hurt..give me a moment and I will see if you still have anything left."Daere inquired as she looked back, Darcy remarked"There is nothing you can do to save me, you need to leave before the rest of the tevinters come back."
"I am not leaving you behind, I thought I could handle it back in Denerim but I can't not now that I know what I left you to endure."Daere replied as her eyes started to tear up,Darcy scuffed and muttered"Now you refuse to leave..how pathetic sister, were was all those other times when we needed to stay together?"
"It does not matter i am here now, I will fight to protect both of us if I have to."Daere stated, Darcy inquired"And what makes you think you have it in you dear sister?What makes you think you are strong enough?"
"I stole Fen'Harel sentinel weapons before i returned."Daere replied,Darcy blinked in shock while he asked"What were you doing with Fen'Harel? You know he will come after you for what you just did."
"Brother you know why..you got mad at me because I chose to leave with him."Daere explained as confusion crossed her face, he studied her face while he replied"I was never with you in Denerim...why are you with Fen'Harel he is the reason…"
"Ain't this a sweet family reunion."Chase remarked,Daere looked in the doorway to an unfriendly sight. Archers trained their bows at her as Chase moved closer to the contured to talk while he stopped in the doorway"Who knew we had what we needed when you first arrived at our doorstep, templars it is time to finish what we have age of the elves is done."
"I am not going to take us without a fight Chase."Daere threatened,Chase stopped in his tracks with a smirk on his spoke to her gently"I know, why do you think there is so many of these red if you manage to take me out and those just in the doorway, we have already taken the precaution so your not going to be getting out of here without us bring you back."
"You talk to much."Daere replied as she swung the song dao, the first arrow caught her off guard as it embedded into her eyes went wide as a gasp could be heard escaping from past her lips,Darcy sat up and raised his hand while the blue flames started to consume some of the fought back the pain as another arrow embedded itself into her shoulder while she ran out, faintly a purple mist started to dance onto the song dao revealing elven writing upon the blade as she fought the red could hear Chase order"Dont kill them, remember we need to bring the siblings back"
"Stop hurting her."she could hear Darcy shout as she felt more pain in her back, blood sprayed past her lips turned her head slowly to see the red assassin as they pulled their blades back, softly she muttered while she watched the other red templars grip her brother."Darcy.."
"You should not have fought us, you are fighting against forces beyond your kin Daere."Chase replied as he walked over to her,Daere growled as she tasted her own blood"I am not going to allow you to get out of here alive, even if I must die myself Chase."
"And what will you do,From my understanding you cannot use even the simplest spells without hurting yourself."Chase replied as he got closer,she looked past him as Darcy outstretched his nodded she knew what her brother was planning while she dropped Craven's song dao, the blades made a soft thump while she outstretched her she spoke"We are elven never again shall we summit."
"Retreat!"Chase shouted to late,a bright flash consumed the area as trees knocking her to the coughed a couple of times then groaned in pain, slowly she looked up weakly as she spoke"Darcy..it worked...Darcy.."
The templars laid dead on the ground while Chase struggled to move, Daere reached over and grabbed the closest blade to her before forcing herself to get up. She crawled over to him as he turned back to look at her, fear crossed his eyes while she got up to her her feet
"You got to understand we are after the same thing are we not?"Chase asked in panic,Daere growled as she walked over to his foot rested on his rib cage then pressed down,with hatred in her eyes she sneered"I did not want the end of the world asshole."
"Stop it.."Chase begged as she pressed down only to be answered by a sickening crack, slowly she looked back to where her brother heart froze as she watched as a armored sentinel slit his throat, a crie bubble at the base of her throat while she tighten the grip of the screamed as the sentinel looked at her "No!"
"You should not worry your about to join him shortly."Daere turned her head to see who was talking, her body shook as she stared past the owls helmet while his hand rested close to her heart.
