Originally, I almost was going to scrap the sequel to "The Scarlet Witch of Kirkwall" but then after some conversations with other "experts" on Dragon Age and MCU, I decided to at least give it a shot. Updates will be more irregular with this story though. The reason I decided to take down the story at first was because it felt too complicated to me after replaying Dragon Age: Inquisition but I guess you don't know until you give it a shot.
All I'm promising is giving this story a shot. If I feel like it becomes too convoluted, it gets taken down, so I hope it doesn't become too much. I don't plan on reposting the first story on AO3 though.

Maxwell Trevelyan was sitting at a seat within the conclave that was located at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, he was a handsome black-haired man with pale blue eyes. He was also the youngest of House Trevelyan of Ostwick. The Trevelyan's were a noble family within Ostwick and had a lot of connections to the chantry, Maxwell himself was a brother of the chantry and was here with most of members of his house to help end the Mage-Templar War.
There were many people across Thedas that had attended, including representatives from both mages and templars. He then noticed several Qunari patrolling the place, he knew that since the Chantry had lost its military arm, they had to recruit mercenaries. These Qunari were actually Tal-Vashoth, outsiders of the Qun, that banded together and called themselves "Valo-kas" which meant "greatsword" in their language.
They were actually led by a lieutenant by the name of Herah Adaar, who was actually a female Qunari. In truth, he had never seen a female Qunari before today, they looked like their male counterparts, but looked slightly more human apart from the large horns that were sticking out of Herah's head.
There was a lot of talking between the other delegates and Divine Justinia seemed to be absent, which did not bode well. He then noticed that one of the Qunari was approaching the lieutenant and whispered something into her ear.
Frowning, she left the Conclave. Maxwell had a bad feeling about this and followed her and soon met up with her in the corridors.
"What's happening, lieutenant?" Maxwell asked.
"Please, sir, remain seated everything is under control." Herah assured.
"We have mages and templars practically at each other's throats and Divine Justinia has not shown up, I can only guess that something has happened." Maxwell said.
Herah nodded, looking slightly troubled. "She's not in her quarters and evidence shows signs of a struggle."
This did not bode well for the Conclave. "Do you think it was either the mages and Templars?" Maxwell asked.
"We've checked every single delegate from me, mages and templars forces gathered at the Conclave." Herah said.
"And no one has left their seat."
Maxwell turned and saw a beautiful blonde-haired elf and he noticed that she was wearing Dalish tattoos and had a staff strapped to her back, apparently a mage.
"And who you might be?" Maxwell asked.
"I'm Ellana Lavellan, I'm the Keeper's First and I too was sent here to spy upon the Conclave to see how it would affect my clan." Ellana introduced herself.
Ellana looked at him with suspicion and Maxwell couldn't blame her. "We need to find the Divine." He said. "If she does not show the peace talks will crumble."
"I am sensing powerful magic close by, likes of which I have never seen." Ellana said. "I can guide you to it."
"Then I shall follow you." Maxwell offered.
They followed her up a flight of stairs into a large door, but as he went to open it everything went black.
Maxwell then found himself in a strange place, strange rock formations and some sort of green mist all around. Next to him was Ellana who looked as confused as he did.
Then he saw something in the distance, he couldn't quite describe it. It looked like a woman, but she was in a bright golden light and offering her hand towards him, behind her was a large tear and pasta he could see ruins of some kind.
They made their way to large stone steps that led to the woman and then suddenly they heard strange sounds behind them. They turned and saw large spiders heading straight towards them and they looked hungry.
They then began to climb the stairs even faster towards the glowing woman and the large tear. Ellana had to support him. Maxwell was completely worn out and he fell forwards, he then outstretched his hand towards the glowing woman, who held her hand out and following them was a red-haired woman in black suit.
He was inches away from and then suddenly there was a bright green light and everything went black.
The two of them then found themselves at some sort of ancient ruin with strange red crystals going out. Maxwell turned and saw that Ellana was knocked out and he felt his head was slightly dizzy. He then noticed that his left hand had some strange scarlet that glowed a bright green. It burned like it was on fire and it seemed to grow worse as it sparked.
Then before he lost consciousness, he saw armed men approaching him and the holding their sort out towards him as if he was some sort of demon and then a redhaired woman had appeared behind him as a dwarf and Herah approached them.
The red-haired woman pulled out some sticks that sparked.
"What kind of magic is this?" One of the guards demanded.
"Stay back. Stay back!" The woman shouted.
"Seize her! She killed Most Holy with those heretics!" Another guard yelled, pointing at her but soon enough they realized they were in over their heads as the woman, despite being weakened, seemed to hold her ground, leaping over them, beating them up swiftly.
"Who is she? Is she an Antivan Crow, Edric?" Herah questioned.
"No. Not even them fight like that." Edric shook his head. Edric Cadash was a Carta spy, sent to see how the Conclave might affect Orzammar and the lyrium trade between them and the surface.
The woman put up a good fight but soon enough was overpowered as one of the guards knocked her out from behind before Cassandra Pentaghast, Seeker of the Truth, approached them with her men, eying the survivors of the explosion.
"Take them into the dungeon. All of them." Cassandra ordered.
Those familiar with both Dragon Age and MCU can guess who was the red-haired woman.
So, what do you guys think? Is it good? Is it bad?
