For the Templars 35
Just looked at the word count and we're over 100,000! Thanks to everyone who encouraged me by reading or reviewing. God knows I would have given up by now if I didn't get all the support that I have! Thanks again. BioWare still owns everything!
"About time you lot got here! I was about to send out a search party." Hawke laughed as Merrill, Anders and Legodur walked into the Hawke's office in the Keep, where she sat with Fenris, Isabella and the young Templar Merrill recognised as Ser Alex.
"Ser Alex? Are you to join us for our journey?" Merrill asked curiously as the young Templar stood with a slight blush.
"Enchanter Merrill…I…I was told by the Knight Commander that several mages were to go on a mission for the Viscount, and so I volunteered for the position."
"A Templar? Well isn't this just fantastic." Anders threw his hands up in distress and Hawke sighed.
"Anders, play nice."
"Hawke; why do we need a Templar? We are all perfectly capable of doing this without one!" Anders growled as Hawke rubbed her temple.
"Anders, while I forgive you and your incredible stupidity; not everyone is so forgiving. Knight Commander Cullen and I had a chat and we believe that is would be best to have a Templar with you in the Chantry. And a warrior is always best in a group. What did I always say about travelling in a group?" Hawke smiled as everyone answered for her.
"A rogue, a mage and a warrior and we have to bring you, because apparently you are awesome." Chorused round the room and Hawke rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry has that combination ever failed before?" Hawke crossed her arms as everyone thought for a second.
"I thought so."
"You seem to have a well organised group your Excellency." Ser Alex commented as Hawke laughed.
"If it looks like that; then we must be doing a better job than I thought. Anyway down to business. Ser Alex has been informed of the Chantry and its 'unique circumstances', Legodur you have to be careful and restrain yourself."
"Me?" Legodur growled. "Why me?"
"Oh please we all know about your and Merrill's sexy times." Isabella laughed as Alex coughed.
"Regardless she can't keep her hands of me." Legodur smiled as Merrill squeaked as she blushed.
"That's…I… what…"Merrill muttered and Hawke laughed as she tossed Anders a small bag of gold.
"There is a carriage outside the city waiting for you. He knows where you're going, give him half now, and the rest when you come back. Don't want him leaving you out there." Hawke smiled as Anders looked hopefully at her.
"Thank you for this Hawke." Hawke turned to Fenris who was glaring at her.
"Leave us."
"Hawke I do not think-" Fenris began.
"I said, leave us. All of you." Hawke said firmly as everyone left except Fenris and Anders. Fenris scowled darkly before he left closing the door roughly.
"I want to make this clear right now Anders." Hawke said firmly as he gulped. "Merrill has given up Blood Magic, and you are no longer an abomination; so I have allowed you both into the Circle. Apart from the First Enchanter; and the Knight Commander are my eyes and ears inside the Circle. Word is growing about the Civil War in Orlais and Wynne was last seen heading towards Halamshiral. I don't know what she is doing there though. I sent a letter to Alistair and Cousland asking them about it but I've yet to get a reply."
"What do you need me to do?" Anders smiled as she stood up and walked to sit down on the front of her desk.
"This Chantry is an unusual one to say the least. I need you to stay strong and avoid temptation. The last messenger the previous Viscount sent never made it back alive. The sisters there will see into your mind and listen for what you need the most. You are still stronger than Merrill; even when she used Blood Magic, so just be careful alright?" She smiled gently at him.
"Why?" Anders asked suspiciously
"Why the sisters do this? I couldn't say, but I don't think tha-"
"No, why are you sending me?"
"Because Anders, I have known you for most of my time in Kirkwall. When I had to kill you it hurt to lose someone so close to me. This will be hard; but it's your chance to make amends." Hawke shrugged.
"Fenris doesn't seem to keen." Anders smiled as she laughed.
"He isn't too keen on anything." Hawke giggled at that.
"Except you."
"That's simply because she can put her mouth to better uses than talking." Isabella laughed as she opened the door.
"Isabella!" Hawke shouted shocked as Fenris laughed at the door way
"What? How else can you explain Fenris being so happy all the time apart from you smoke him like a pipe?" Isabella asked plainly as Hawke hid her head in her hands.
"I am not having this conversation with you 'Bella. Oh and before I forget see what they know about the Vigilantem. Anders that's all, send a letter when you get there and stay strong." Anders laughed as he left the room with a blushing Hawke and amused pirate.
"Do you not have work to be doing Isabella?" Fenris raised an eyebrow as the Rivanni slumped her shoulders.
"I know; but this is too funny to miss." Hawke pointed to the door and Isabella shrugged before she headed out. "Oh before I forget; what's your opinion of a threesome?"
"Out!" Hawke shouted as Isabella cackled before she closed the door. And Fenris smiled as she blushed.
"I really hate her sometimes." Hawke sighed.
"She does have a point though." Fenris smirked as Hawke raised an eyebrow.
"A threesome?" Fenris scoffed loudly.
"No, as in your mouth does have many a good use. The one that comes to my mind first is not your ability to make a rousing speech." Fenris' eyes darkled as she approached her.
"Would it be my flattery skills?"
"No, but if you would like I can show you how to put that tongue of yours to good use." Fenris growled as Hawke laughed loudly.
"Fenris!"
The small cart rocked as it rolled along the rocky road from Kirkwall. Merrill leant her head of Legodur's shoulder as she watched the city begin to fade from view. Merrill smiled softly as Legodur slid his fingers through hers gently while he looked on. Anders and Alex were not speaking and Merrill took the time to look at the young Templar. He was handsome enough; but nothing about him jumped out at her. His short scruffy brown hair gave him a childish quality and dark brown eyes kept glaring at Anders but softened when they looked into her curious green ones.
With Legodur his bright golden eyes always watched her with such care and such fire it made her heart almost stop at times. Legodur's strong muscles and well-toned body was just another thing she could not get over. The strength in him could turn quickly into such a tenderness that made her knees weak. Merrill smiled as a soft blush coloured her cheeks.
"What's going on in that head of yours?" Legodur whispered in her ear and Merrill shuddered involuntarily.
"I…nothing," Merrill blushed.
"That I don't believe." Legodur nipped her ear and she squeaked lightly.
"Are you unwell Enchaner Merrill? You seem a bit red." Alex asked as Merrill punched Legodur who was laughing.
"I am fine Ser Alex."
"Very well then."
The journey was fairly quiet as the old driver ignored them; simply doing his job for their gold. Legodur kept whispering crude things in Merrill's ear whenever Alex or Anders got distracted. Merrill felt herself blush while she bit back a moan as Legodur bit her. Alex and Anders didn't seem to notice as they were still debating, as they had been for the past hour, the issue of freedom for the mages.
"Regardless of what the Viscount believes; magic is dangerous. If she believes you mages should have the same freedom as those without, then she is a fool." Alex scowled at the mage who simply glared back at the young Templar.
"Hawke is a smart woman. She knows that the Templars got away with anything and everything against the mages when it's unfair! How can you blame someone for an accident of birth?" Anders glowered.
"The very fact you believe that shows how stupid you are; mage."
"And the fact that you blindly follow your order makes you the real idiot. And how old are you anyway? You are too young to fully understand anything aside from the spouting's of the Chantry. So do not pretend you know how the world works."
"Will you kids just shut up? Between the arguing Mage and Templar and the two elf's doing everything but basically humping each other I'm getting a headache." The driver called as he glared back at the group, silencing them. "We will stop for the night in a short while, the horses are getting tired. So no magic and no loud sex, we clear?"
"Yes Ser," Came the mumbled reply from the back of the cart.
This was going to be a long night.
"So…we need too...ugh…do this because?" Zevran panted loudly as he thrust sharply into Isabella. She arched her back of the bed in the Hanged Man as she moaned.
"I need too…oh yeah there Zevran…" Isabella moaned as she pushed her leg up on his shoulder, giving him better access. "She wants me too…too, get information…"
"Information? What about?" Zevran grunted before he licked her neck while he thrust into her.
"About…the...oh Maker…" Isabella screamed before she came around him. Zevran thrust a few more times before he pulled out and came over her Rivanni skin. They panted as they caught their breath before Isabella licked his cum of around her face.
"Well my little minx…it appears we have work to do." Zevran laughed as she raised an eyebrow.
"We?"
"Of course; this sounds too fun for you to do alone." Zevran laughed before he moved away.
"If Hawke finds out she will flip… Oh well; she needs to chill out a bit more."
"My thoughts exactly."
The small campsite at the side of the road was drenched as the rain powdered down upon them. The driver had suggested a small area covered in tree's which lessened the rain, but its effects were still apparent. Ser Alex refused to let Anders take watch, as a mage 'could not be trusted', and so was sitting out in the cold.
"Ser Alex, you have been out here for two hours…do you…do you not think it would be best to keep up your strength and let someone else take watch?" Merrill asked softly as the young Templar turned to face her.
"No need Enchanter Merrill I-"
"Just Merrill, Serah."
"Very well. Merrill I am perfectly capable of watching out for any danger throughout the night." Alex huffed as he brushed a lock of drenched hair from his eyes.
"Merrill, it just means that he will be useless for the next few days then." Anders said from his open tent and looked at the glowering Templar.
"Very well mage; if you're so smart you can take watch then." Alex stormed to his tend and Anders sighed before he moved to where Alex previously sat. He put a shield above the camp and Merrill smiled softly as she watched the rain bounce of the shield.
"You could have done that the whole time."
"Yup; but I just wanted to watch him suffer for a bit. He is a child and does not know of what we will face." Anders sighed before he moved back to his tent. "I made it so no one outside can see, feel or enter the camp unless I allow it. Hawke made me look into it after a couple of shades got into our camp of the Wounded Coast."
"Really? How long ago was that" Merrill asked softly as Anders shrugged.
"A little while before the Deep Roads. If Hawke had taken me then I might have been able to save Bethany."
"You don't know that. She would have had to of left Fenris behind, or taken you in Bethany's place. So she may have ended up in the Gallows." Merrill suggested while Anders sighed.
"I don't know, we can't change things now. You had better get some rest Merrill. We're safe for the night." Anders smiled before he closed his tent and Merrill headed to hers.
She opened the flap and saw Legodur lying, half naked, reading a book.
"Legodur? Do you not have your own tent?" Merrill blushed.
"Why would I? Its more to carry and it's not really needed." Legodur smiled as she fidgeted slightly, before turning her back to him.
"I... I… we should get some sleep then. We still have a long way to go." Merrill swallowed as she felt his hands at the ties of her robe. "What…what are you doing?" Merrill muttered weakly as Legodur licked her neck.
"I'm helping you to get ready for bed. Just the kind of guy I am." He smiled as he lowered the robe around her shoulder and planted a kiss there as Merrill shivered.
"Legodur, we can't…Hawke said-"
"Hawke said we couldn't have sex on the grounds of the Chantry. I see no Chantry nearby: do you?" Legodur whispered seductively as he kissed her neck, allowing the robes to pool around her waist as she blushed.
He turned her head back to kiss him while his hands worked at the strings of her corset. Merrill squealed in surprise as her corset flew open and Legodur ran his hands over her breasts. She moaned loudly as he rubbed her nipples before pulling them in alternating circles.
"Legodur…" Merrill sighed softly as he took her hand and put it under his breeches and watched her eyes widen.
"Do you feel that Merrill?" Legodur whispered and watched nod. He guided her hand to stroke him gently as she blushed violently. "See how hard I get for you? See how my body aches to please you." He withdrew his hand and let her work him gently as he roughly moaned in her ear.
"Ask me to make love to you." It was a demand. One that Merrill couldn't refuse.
She pushed her robe down off her waist along with her underwear before she turned to fully face him. She kissed him and felt herself gowing back, but found herself above Legodur who raised an eyebrow.
"What?" He smiled a tooth grin that made her knees weak.
"I…I don't know what to do now." Merrill blushed and he laughed.
"Did you read the book Isabella gave you?" He smiled as she blushed furiously.
"I…well…how did…yes."
"Didn't think you had it in you."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Merrill glared down at Legodur who shrugged.
"Nothing, it just means you're the type of girl who is normally so shy and introverted, that yo would hardly expect her to read a book on positions." Legodur laughed, not registering the glare on Merrill's face.
"Fine."
A moment of silence came over them.
"What?"
"I said fine." Merrill moved and slid her underwear back on and Legodur mentally hit himself.
"Merrill, I-"
"It's fine Legodur." He swallowed loudly. "I'm just going to go for a walk."
"Merrill wait!" Legodur reached out, but she had already left the tent.
He was so dead.
Thanks again for sticking with me! Loads of love xxx
