City Elves- The Elven people that choose or forced to living with humans in cities. They live in Alienages that have been called the poorest sections of cities and have been abused or looked down by humans. The Tabris family is a family of rebel city elves that have been called troublemakers for awhile. Their Dalish cousins sees them as human pets or prisoners of the cities while the City Elves see them as savages or mythical legends.
(Denerim)
Within the capital of Fereldan, there is the Elven Alienage, a district that the City elves live in and can only be in unless they are on the job. Within one of the houses, there is a young man currently sleeping but the interesting about him is that he is human looking.
"Carver! Wake up, its time for your wedding!" He opens his eyes to see his cousins Shianni and Soris. He gets up and dresses up to a less then clean shirt and trousers. This is Carver Tabris, an Elf-Blooded: half human, half elf and he is sitting with his cousins and uncle: Cyrion. "So cousins, how does it feel to have your very own wedding?" Shianni says with a smirk as she is happy she is not marrying anytime soon.
"Im happy as I felt I wouldn't get a girlfriend first." Soris says as he felt he was average at best. However, Carver doesn't look happy.
"I don't wish to marry but to train more and help the Alienage." Carver says as he wanted to help his Elven people. His father: Malcom Hawke, was a Elven mage and Carver wanted to help his people in Denerim and so he left his family's farm in Lothering when he was 15 to live in the Alienage. His father's family is actually the Tabris family and Malcom was Adaia's brother. It was hard at first due to his human appearance but over time, he was accepted by the City Elves and the humans saw him as a elf-lover and the more prejudice of people treated him bad. Of course, he would send letters and some money to his mother and sisters to help them when the harvest season goes bad and to make them know he is alright.
He had many jobs sense moving to Denerim from servant, butler, cook, and even an Apothecary's assistant. When his aunt died, he grieve with his cousins and other elves respected him as an elf and nephew. So here he is now, 20 and about to get married. The problem itself is that he has to leave Denerim and go to his wife's city of Highever while the wedding will be here.
"I know son, that leaving will be hard but im afraid that was the deal we made to your betrothes' family. Know that I don't want this but the family has to make rough decisions." Carver can't help but sigh, He knows that Uncle Cyrion is right on both ends. Lately Soris, Shinnai and even Carver had been fired from their jobs either the owners were racist and thought a Elf and Elf-blooded where bad for business or they where getting cheaper labour and pay from other Elves or Dwarves so the dowagers from both weddings could help the family survived better until Shinnai and Soris could get other jobs in the city.
"Fine but know this, when I get to the city, I will find a good paying job and send you the coins." Carver says with serious but Shinnai disagrees. "You should save your money and help your actually family in Lothering." She says trying to not sound like a ass but came out as one.
"You are all are my family, no matter what. Plus Highever is closer to Lothering so I could visit them." Carver counters as he goes to change to his wedding uniform after eating breakfist. When he steps out, he can see the usual small alienage that he calls home for 3 years. And in middle is the famous Vhenadhal tree that was grown when this district was created. He walks to the recently made alter that will be both his and Soris' wedding event and he can see the 2 fiances: Nesiara and Valora. "At least they actually look like what they were describe from the letters right Cousin?" Soris says with his matching outfit as he walks with the Elf-blooded but as they walk, they notice 2 humans, an elf, and a masked unknown man with a cloak standing and talking to eachother.
"Before we meet our future wives, lets see what this group wants" Says Carver as Soris nods and walks to the 4 people. "Im telling you shemlens, the City Elves are weaklings and won't assist us against the Darkspawn." The tattooed Elf says as he looks around with disdain in his face.
"Oh and what caused you to hate your own kind as well?" The masked man says as the elf looks at him.
"They are slaves of the Shems, they have let themselves be abused." The Dalish says while Carver is pissed that the elf would insult his family and people. "Hey! If you want to insult people, you should do it to their face."
The Dalish turns around, sees a human yelling at him and it pisses him off. "If you want to die Shemlen, I'll gladly apply." He says as he is about to fight Carver but the older human puts his hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down. "Peace Mahariel, we didn't come here to fight. Forgive him as he has never been to a city. Congratulations on your wedding Sers."
"You must be Grey Wardens. Why are you here?" Soris asks as he and Carver has always look up to the Wardens as heroes. The masked man answers: "We came here for recruits. I am Tenebris, this is Warden-Commander Duncan, Mahariel, and Sokka. Im afraid that I have business elsewhere so farewell for now. By the way, congrats on the wedding." With that introduction, he leaves and walks out the Alienage.
"Wonder where he's going. Remember where we are reuniting Masky!" Sokka says to himself and then yells at the mask elf. "Anyway we have a meeting with the guards for recruits, so good luck with the wedding you two." And so the Wardens leave at the opposite direction that Tenebris left.
"Wait before you guys leave." Carver says with the Wardens stopping in their tracks "Is it possible for a City Elf or Elf-Blood to be a Grey Warden?" For as long as he can remember, Carver wanted to be a hero. Either to his Elf or Human families. Duncan replies with vigor:
"Anyone from all walks of life can join the Wardens. Be they from the mightiest prince to a ill beggar. Those that desire to fight for the good of everyone can be a part of the Wardens. Garahel was a City elf that his parents abandon but he fought in the Fourth Blight, killed Archdemon Andoral, and saved Antiva from the Darkspawn horde. Don't look down on yourself and be yourself Ser Tabris." With that, they leave the Alienage.
"That was interesting right Cousin?" Soris asks Carver with him nodding. They walk around the alienage and spot Shianni with a human on the ground with 2 other humans looking shock at her. "You knife ear bitch! Don't you know thats the Arl's son?!" One of the noble's friends say and yelled. This surprises and frightens her but Soris tries to diffuse the situation:
"Wait, lets just forget this whole mess and pretend this never happen."
"You will pay for this filthy knife ears!" With that declaration, they grab Vaughan Kendells and leave the Alienage. "What have I done?" Shianni asks herself as she knows that she could get killed if she did hit a Arl's son.
"Come on Cousin, Vaughan is known around Denerim as a asshole. You shouldn't feel guilty and enjoy the wedding." Carver says trying to cheer his cousin up. "Thanks Carver, Im sorry what I said earlier. You are a part of the Tabris Family."
With the Tabris family united, the wedding begins as Carver and Soris meet their fiances: Nesiara and Valora. "Pleasure to meet you Carver, I hope that we can become a great family." Says the elegant elf. "I can't wait to move to Highever and help you Nesiara." The Elf blood lies to her.
"It is great to meet you Soris." Valora says with a squeaky voice. "Hehe, Likewise." And so, the wedding begins with Mother Boann presiding the event. "Children of the Maker! We gather here for a blessed union. The wedding of Carver and Nesiara with the union of Soris and Nesiara included." As she continues, the adopted Tabris can only think to himself. 'This is for the family, she is attractive at least. So that is a plus.' However the wedding is interrupted, with Vaughn, his 2 friends, and a group of guards walking through elves by pushing or punching them.
"Young Lord! Please this is a wedding." The mother says but the Arl's son just ignore her and just leers at the female elves. "Oh please Boann, if you want to dress up the animals thats your business but just looking at these beauties just makes them mine now." He says with a smug town that pisses off Carver. He walks to Vaughn, about to punch him but something odd happens: He is hit what feels like a wall and he fells to the ground and his mouth is bleeding. The last thing he hears is the Arl's son sadistic voice "Excellent work Marin! This is as great as that girl you brought in before. Braden! Take the bride and bridemaids for some fun."
(Later)
The Elf-blood wakes up to Alarith's store, a friend of his family, his head hurt and Soris sitting with him. "What happened?" Carver asks with pain. "Our cousin, fiances, and bridemaids were kidnap 3 hours ago. The bastard Vaughn and his goons went back to the castle and are holding them there." His cousin said with a grave voice as Carver realises the situation: Those girls could be rape or killed and Vaughn could just say it is his right as a Arl's son to have his way with them. The very thought of those frighten ladies dishonored in such a way pisses him to the point that he gets up with finesse.
"I refuse to let him have his way with our people or anyone else."
"But Cousin, what can we do?"
"Soris, we are going to the castle and freeing the girls. Even if we have to kill everyone there." Carver thanks the shopowner and they walk to their home to get their items for this quest. Cyrion Tabris is sitting in his house in sadness as his niece is kidnap by a noble and he can't do anything but then his adopted son and nephew and they spot their 2 chests right next to the Patriarch.
"I know that the both of you have either bought or made your own weapons for some time." Cyrion as both cousins look down in shame. Elves in alienages are not allowed to have weapons or even armor and if they are found, the elves could be arrested or beaten up.
"Uncle Cyrion I-" Before Carver could finish his sentence, his adopted father just puts his hand up.
"Im not angry, if anything im proud that you will use these to protect Shianni and bring her home. Take them and show the humans that we help eachother against our fate." They unlock their chest and for Carver is a Man-at-arms armor(1) that his sister sent for him with a iron staff and poisons while Soris is guard armor that he bought with a dull sword and wooden shield. "Cousin! Why is your weapon a stick? We are suppose to fight a entire castle, not going on a pilgrimage!" Soris asks/yells with fear as he doesn't want his backup to have a weak weapon.
"First off Soris, this is a polearm. Second, look at the end off it." He says as his cousin does do that and notices a whole at said end of it. "Lets just say that there is a surprise inside the iron." With that, they put on their armors before they leave Carver looks at his uncle. "I promise you this, I will save everyone there even if I have to go through this entire city." All Cyrion does is a nod in agreement and the 2 leave the alienage to save their family.
Omake- Tenebris meeting his siblings
"What happen Majora? Where are we?"
'I don't freaking know, the last thing I remember is those assholes in Termina celebrating my death.'
The Dark one and Majora wake up on a dark room with what looks like dark cobble stones as the floor. As he looks around the room, he sees 2 other people on the ground as well. One looks to be a survivor with skull armor and the other is wearing a white military uniform. "Hey! Both of you get up!"
The skull wearing one's eyes open for a second and jumps to punch him. Luckily he dodges and uses his Corvo mask and disappears from sight. "Where..?" This unknown savage is confuse but seems to be smelling the air. He shouts a mighty roar: "Bone.. Dragon.. Roar.!" The roar hits the hidden mask user and he flys straight to a wall however he doesn't falter and fires his crossbow which hits him on the knee. He puts on Keeta the undead and summons Stalchildren to charge at this warrior but suddenly, the air is cold and ice appears from the ground that strikes and kills the children while both fighters trap in ice.
"That is enough! Both of you. I don't know where we are and something tells me that none of us wanted to be here." The ice user says with hidden anger but he seems to be calming down "Now I will release both of you and you will both tell me your names." The ice dissipates and the 2 are release with the dark one taking off his mask for Majora. "I am Link: Hero of Termina and Hyrule." While the Ice maker is shock by his name, the other unknown is confuse of the name.
"That can't be your name! I am Link: Hero of Courage." He raises his hand to show a glowing triangle, the very same the mask Link has as well. The Feral man raises his hand and the triforce appears again. "Name... Link... Hero... Dragons..." He says as the 3 are confuse.
'As much as I hate to say it, You all have the same annoying face so maybe your all the same.' Majora says to his jailer and companion. The Link with a military uniform is thinking has a theory: "Perhaps, we are from different timelines. It is said that we Links can go through other realities and timelines but if so why are we here?"
"Captured..?" The other asks as he looks at both strangers.
"Maybe but for now we should leave this room and investigate what beyond." The dark Link says as he goes to the lone door in said room until...
"Wait!" The Mystic Link shouts then continues "We can't call eachother Link, we should have different names to identify eachother."
The Feral: "Name... Curek... Bone... Dragon... Slayer..."
The Mystic: "Call me Mysticis, The Ice Alchemist."
The Dark: "And I am Tenebris, The Mask Maker, Let us work together to uncover this kidnapping."
Majora- "Damnit! Being force to be with one is bad enough, three more just pisses me off. I swear if there are more I will scream" His silent declaration (That Tenebris ignores as only he can hear the mask) aside, the 3 brothers leave the room and search for clues in this unknown building.
And Done! Expect more of Tenebris' backstory in omakes.
