Morning dawns misty and cool. I change back into my armor and pack the wool dress carefully, wrapping it around my Mother's necklace lovingly. The Dalish have been kind enough to give us fresh rations. We have two more small missions to complete before returning to meet the Arl, which works out well as it gives the Dalish time to build their army.
Sten has recovered well, and Dane has been assigned to keeping an eye on him while we travel. I grab something to eat while the others finish deconstructing their tents and preparing to leave. We have a long way to travel ahead of us. Wynne is approaching with a serious look directed at me.
"Yes, Wynne?"
"Alistair has told me of what you intend. I hope you weren't planning on leaving me behind."
Wynne's got her best stern school teacher look on her face, daring me to challenge her. Alistair seems to tell Wynne everything, which is sometimes annoying. He does keep secrets when necessary, like the fact that I didn't kill Flemeth.
"Of course not, unless of course you'd like me too."
"No, I want to go."
"Fine then, that's settled. You, Alistair, Dane and I will go."
"Why just us? Wouldn't it be safer to have our whole group?"
"No. That many of us heading towards Ostagar will gain attention. A small party will be able to move swiftly and stay out of notice. I need those documents, and it will also be good to get some closure for Alistair."
Wynne nods in agreement and then returns to packing the last of her things. I would love to bring a whole damn army to Ostagar and kill every damned darkspawn there but I don't have that option as of yet. No, I'm settling for rushing in and getting what we need and then getting out equally fast. If we happen to kill a bunch of darkspawn while we're there, then it will be less to kill later.
