A/N: I couldn't settle on a specific path, no matter how hard I tried. I love both of these endings immensely in their own ways. So I wrote both, and I leave fate in your hands, dear reader. What speaks to you more?


ANDRA IS PRESENTED WITH A CHOICE


(Together)

After everything that's happened, all the people she's pushed away to save from further pain in her journey for her past, everything she's learned, Andra is reminded of her father's rune and it's single word: Nas'falon (Soulmate). Her love and devotion towards Solas is unshakable—there's no where she'd rather be than by his side. He's shown her a world so far detached from her Dalish life, but teeming with secrets and truths that she hadn't even known she'd been searching for. He's shown her that the Dalish—while good intentioned—just don't care about the Elvhen people the way they should. There's so much her people are missing, so much they've abandoned. Believing her visions of her past to be a sign, and with her Vallaslin already removed, the choice is simple: she wants to be with Solas and help him in his quest to restore the Elvhen people to their former glory. And wherever this choice might lead her, she'll be content with the outcome so long as she can stay at her love's side.

(Apart)

Andra loves Solas but feels wary towards his obsession with the past—that he would do anything to return to the days of Arlathan, even at the expense of those around him. While she is also guilty of chasing shadows, Andra only ever wanted to learn so she could move on. So she could know herself better. Never learn just to go back. Millenia has passed since the days Solas speaks so fondly of, culture and society having changed drastically—evolving and adapting under history's cruel hand. Elves—both Dalish and not—are no longer what they used to be. But they are not less for it. Andra sees all the hard work her people have done throughout history, proving their resilience and adaptability, and she feels proud. Elves might no longer be immortal, or speak to the gods in person, or stand at the summit of civilization and guide it in their own image any longer, but there is still so much to cherish. And Andra refuses to see that destroyed. With this in mind, taking along with her everything she's learned, Andra is determined to move forward—not backward. She will always love Solas, and he will always hold a special place in her heart, but she cannot join him in his destruction of all the hard work suffered to get where they are today. Mind set, she plans to set off on her own, and wherever her feet take her, she'll be content in the journey—hoping that maybe one day Solas can find the same peace.
