Orzammar- A kingdom which is solely the home of the Dwarven people. The race is a strong people for they are have been fighting the Darkspawn for centuries at the cost of many Thaigs. They may be short in height but they are big on strength and resolve. Long ago the Dwarven Kingdom use to control the underground grounds and had many cities known as Thaigs. However they were overrun and slaughter leaving Orzammar and Kal-Sharok as the only underground settlements.
Within the Proving Grounds, the 2nd child of the king is Sereda Aeducan healing from her fight against the unnamed Castless and her friend/bodyguard Gorim is beside her. "The Casteless defeated you in single combat. I can't believe it."
"I can't believe they are going to kill him." Is all she said as she removes her helmet to reveal bushy brown hair.
"Milady you are not sadden of your defeat?" Gorim asks. Though he wasn't against Casteless, he thought maybe she would be angry at her lose.
"No, he may have beaten me unfairly but it was still fun fighting him." Sereda explains, she was always known around the kingdom as the warrior of the Aeducan family.
"Very well my lady. We must hurry back to the Royal Palace." Gorim says and she agrees. Her father the king, are announcing soon that she will lead her first campaign against the Darkspawn.
On the way, the duo spots 2 people that they know. Sereda's brothers Trian and Bhelen. "Oh hey brothers! How are you this find day?"
"Sereda! It is great to see you again." Bhelen exclaims, happy to see her.
"Sister, you lost to a Casteless. You brought shame to the Aeducan name." Trian states which make her angry.
"Hey brother! I'll have you know that he beat me in a sanction fight. So it was legal."
"She is right Trian." Bhelen sides with her but the eldest just glares at them. "We are House Aeducan, we are the pinnacle of Dwarven and so we must uphold ourselves above the common rabble."
This causes Sereda to sigh. She doesn't get along with her older brother Trian as he thinks the family and by extension him is superior to everyone in Orzammar. Meanwhile she was the type to hang out at taverns and have fun with her people regardless of caste. As for her younger brother Bhelen, he was someone that had great ideas, reforms for the kingdom and would've been a good king but had a hard time getting any of them since not many people pay attention to the 3rd child but she was never them and treats him well like a sibling should. She can always remember him running to her bedroom when they were little, scared of bad dreams or Darkspawn and sleeping over.
"Well come on you two. Father wants to talk about the big day tomorrow right?" She rushes off with Gorim behind her. As they enter the Royal Palace, they bump into someone and which causes her to fall down. A couple of papers fall down as a result. "Milady are you alright?"
"It is okay Gorim, how about you?" She reassures her friend and then this stranger who is a female Casteless. When she sees the person that she bump, she starts freaking out.
"Oh Stone! Please Princess I am sorry with all my might!" She yells scared for her life that she assaulted a royal, which can end with here dying.
"Hey, I'm not some asshole that is going to kill you. Let me help you clean up." Sereda reassures her as she gets down and begins picking them up while Gorim assists as well.
"Princess, Ser, you don't have to do this. I can clean up my own mess." She explains but Sereda looks at a certain piece of paper and notices it looks like blueprints.
"Wow! Is this a project of your?" She asks amaze at this but the Casteless is freaking out that she is looking at it.
"Yes Princess, It is my family's greatest project."
"You don't mind if I can have a copy?" She asks to her.
"Of course milady." She gives her a copy and leaves.
"Milady, should we have ask her what her name is?" Gorim asks which Sereda widens her eyes. "You are right! Damn, I think she has been here before. She is usually with Bhelen, maybe a possible suitor. Come on lets go, here hold this. We may help her with this another day." She exclaims as she gives him the blueprint copy. However she spots Bhelen and sees him talking with the Casteless and pecking cheek which seems to calm her down. He then says something to her which she nods and walks away. He spots his sister and talks to her again.
"Good to see you again sister. I see you meet Rica."
"Milord." Gorim bows to Bhelen but Sereda just laughs. "Come on Gorim, you have known us since we were little tykes."
She puts her arm around her brother and gives him a joyful smirk. "But enough about us, let's talk about this couple thing you got with this Rica."
"We meet a year ago and we have to talk and been on dates. I don't care about her Casteless state and I plan to have her and her family move in the palace."
"That is great Bhelen! I knew you can do it." Sereda congratulates him but he looks at her with a serious look.
"I came to talk to you about Trian, he has been telling me that he wants to get rid of you." Bhelen said which causes Sereda to widen her eyes and he continues.
"He seems to be jealous that you are seen as a better choice to be queen then him as king."
"Hm, being queen was never something I wanted to be because I wanted to be a general or join the Legion of the Dead. So I don't care. Anyway lets go meet our father." She walks away from her brother.
They walk to the throne room and spot King Aeducan, her father giving the Dwarven generals orders for tomorrow.
"Ah Sereda! Good to see you my child." He spots his daughter and walks to her. "My child this is your first campaign against the dreaded Darkspawn. Are you prepare to reclaim the Aeducan Thaig?"
"Heheh watch and be amaze father. For now let's party!" Is all she said as she runs to the party and grabs a beer and chugs it to the cheers of the soldiers.
The next day, the battle has commence with the Dwarven army attacking the Darkspawn horde and pushing them out of the Deep Roads and securing the Aeducan Thaig. However they seem to be counter attacking but Sereda is leading the troops with her slamming her warhammer into a Hurlock's face while Gorim is protecting her from a Genlock sneak attack by stabbing his sword into one that was behind her. The Darkspawn within the thaig have been taking out.
"Milady we have gotten reports that the Aeducan Shield have been shown deeper into the thaig however it is behind a large Darkspawn force so we don't know what to do." A messenger tells her which causes her to smile. It was said the shield was lost centuries ago and if she retakes it then she could have glory.
"Let's go boys!" She shouts and tells another commander to take command and she goes deeper with Gorim, a scout, and Frandlin Ivo by her side. They walk and see multiply Darkspawn attacking a unknown elf. He shouts something that confuses her. "Come out Weavile!"
He throws a ball and something comes out. It is a creature that looks like a weasel but it is bipedal. "Weavile, use Ice beam!" It yells out and a beam hits 2 hurlocks causing them to freeze in place. However a hurlock is about to attack him but he steps back and puts on a mask. He transform into a small round creature. "Meta Knight form. Now use shadow claws!"
Weavile and the unknown man hits with his claws and sword taking it out. Meanwhile Sereda smashes a genlock head off and the stragglers are taking out by her teammates. He removes the mask to reveal a dark blue hooded cloak hiding his body and his face seems to be bandage to the point you can't see it. "Woah a elf. What are you doing here?" Sereda asks confuse as other races usually don't come to the Deep Roads.
"You must be Princess Sereda. A pleasure, I am Tenebris a Grey Warden and this is Weavile." The cloak man announces which shocks everyone.
"I thought you Wardens left awhile ago to the surface." Frandlin comments but he just shakes his head.
"We saw a large war party of Darkspawn a few miles from Orzammar so we will stay in these roads for a week to get rid of them." Tenebris explains to them while Gorim looks at the weasel.
"Is this that magic I heard about?" He questions the strange creature.
"Let's just say I am a animal lover and collector. Return Weavile." Is all he says as he uses a ball and a beam hits the creature and goes in. "Anyway I secure this thaig and the only thing left is a shield and it look Dwarven."
"The Aeducan shield." Gorim exclaims while the dark one nods. "Look I have to go. The rest of the Wardens and Legion of the Dead are dealing with vanguards and need assistance. Farewell Princess, you could be a great Warden."
With that, he leaves leaving only the 4 who go to the building and finds the shield. "This is it! Come on everyone lets get out of here."
They leave the Thaig and on the way to the exit, they find a number of corpses and one of them is a shock: Trian, her brother with his throat silt. She runs to his body and kneels down, getting more anger. "Who did this!? I'll kill them!" She shouts with no mercy. This shocks Gorim as even though Sereda likes a fight, she barely get angry and has never seen her rage. That was when Pyral Harrowmont, the king's right hand man, and a number of soldiers appear.
"Sereda what happen to Trian?" Lord Harrowmont demands and before she can answer the scout comes forward and kneels.
"My lord, she order us to attack Trian and his men. It was horrible."
"What?!" Gorim yells as he is shock. "We found the prince in this state."
"He is lying my lord. we were force to kill him." Frandlin explains which closes the case. A noble's word is worth more the Princess's bodyguard. He tries to walk to his lady but he is grab by the guards. She is shellshock and doesn't care for her surroundings. That was until she hears snickering and sees the scout and Frandlin seeming to be happy that the prince is dead and princess is being framed. Her sight goes blood red the second he hears the smug laughter and blacksout.
(Later, at a Dwarven Prison)
Sereda awaken from her unconscious state and notices she is in a cell. She tries to remember how she got like this but can't as she hears footsteps. "Gorim!"
Her bodyguard and friend appears though he looks relieve she is alright, he is sadden of the news he has to tell her.
"Sereda, thank the stone you are alright."
"What happen? I can't remember. Is Trian really dead?"
"I am afraid that is correct. He died and I believe Bhelen is responsible because he wanted a death penalty on you."
"Gorim, what happen to me?"
"When you saw Frandlin and the scout laughing about Train's death, he went into a Berserker's rage and kill them with your bare hands. It took five guards to stop you and you killed one of them by smashing him with his helmet."
This shocks Sereda at this. "So what is going to happen to me and you?"
"You are to be exile to the Deep Roads where you will die fighting Darkspawn. I am to be exile to the surface where I plan to go to Denerim and make my life there." He explains then he whispers to her. "The Grey Wardens are still at the Deep Roads and you can join them and I still have those plans so I can complete it by the time you get there."
"That maybe the only way to survive that hell." She said as she looks at her best friend. "Gorim, I may have been a pain to deal with but just know I cared for you."
"Thank you milady, I know you will survive." Gorim says as he leave to go to the surface. Later she is brought to Lord Harrowmont who is going to commence the sentence.
"Hey old man, guess this is it huh." It was not a question more of a statement.
"Sereda please look into my eyes a swear to me you did not kill your brother." Harrowmont pleads to the disgrace princess and she does just that.
"I swear to my ancestors I found Trian like that state. I killed Frandlin and those people because they were laughing at my brother."
"I believe you princess. Before you are sent to the deep roads, you should know your father is bed ridden from the shock of losing two of his children and Bhelen is now calling himself the sole heir to the throne. I am sorry for this, I pray to the stone that you somehow survive." This shocks the former princess as she is escorted to outside of the kingdom.
"We are here for the sentence of Sereda Aeducan. You are to be exile to the Deep Roads where you will die fighting. Your name will be stricken from your family line and forgotten from history. Do you have any final words?"
"Ask Bhelen this: Do you remember the oath we made when we were children?" Is all she said as she is giving a maul and begins walking away. But the lord walks to him.
"Then may the Stone hold you when you fall." He whispers to her. "There is a chest farther down with armor that your father wanted to give to you. Good luck."
She walks around the road, looking for the chest but she looks at a cliff and spots the Grey Wardens Duncan and Mahariel fighting hurlocks with the senior warden striking with his sword and dagger the darkspawn while the recruit cleaving a alpha in two. She shouts to get their attention but they can't hear. "Wardens! Can you hear me?!"
They look around and Duncan sees her but he is yelling something at her. "Look behind you!"
She does and sees a Darkspawn about to grab her. She hits it with her warhammer but it blocks with its own. That was when Sereda realize who what it is: A Genlock Forge Master with its hammer. She tries to hit it again but the forge master grabs the hammer and throws it over the cliff into the lava below. She doesn't get scared and tackles the darkspawn to the ground. She can hear one of the Wardens assuring her. "We coming to help you! Duncan we got to get down there."
She punches it in the face and spots the chest but the Forge Master grabs her head and slams her to the ground while distracted. The Forge Master gets up to raise it's hammer to bash her chest but it is hit by a potion that dissolves its skin. This gives Sereda the chance to grab the Forge Master's hammer and hit it square in the face. She looks and sees three Wardens while one of them is holding the chest.
"Hey there, I'm Carver and this is Duncan and Mahariel. Looks like you were trying to grab this." Carver greets her as he gives the chest. She opens it and she can't help but smile at the armor inside. The Legion of the Dead armor: The group that has been Sereda's childhood heroes. 'Thank you Father, I promise you I will wear this with pride.'
"Why are you here miss?" Duncan asks curious.
"My name is Sereda Aeducan and I was exile from Orzammar." She explains which causes Duncan to raise his eyebrows.
"I know you. Tenebris told me about you and how your brother killed your other sibling."
"Wait how does he know?"
"You need to talk to him. If you want, you can join us."
She nods as they walk away to meet with the others.
(Aeducan Royal Palace)
Bhelen can't help but be proud of himself, his brother is dead and sister is exile making him the sole heir of the throne. Once he is king he can change the kingdom for the better.
"My lord." A loyal guard to him comes with a message. "Sereda has been sent to the Deep Roads and her last words where to you."
"Oh and what did she said?" Bhelen will not be surprise what said. No doubt a declaration of revenge or call him a kinslayer.
"She said do you remember the oath we made when we were children?" Bhelen thinks what she means until...
(Flashback)
Bhelen remembers as a child, crying with a bruise on his cheek. Sereda found him in his room nursing his wound. "Bhelen who did this?"
"Trian did this. I told him I want to be the king when I grow up. He punch me saying I will never be king."
"Don't listen to him, I know you can be a great monarch."
"But how? I am only the 3rd child and people like you better."
"Heh I never want to be a queen. Too boring. How about this, I will gladly step down if something happens to Trian and give you the throne on one condition."
"And what's that sister?"
"Never lose yourself to power. Help the people and never just yourself understand?" Sereda takes her pinky out and he does as well with a promise he breaks later on.
"I promise and I'll even let you lead the army and Legion of the Dead to wipe out the Darkspawn."
"Ha! Now that would be fun."
(Flashback Over)
Bhelen looks down and orders the guard to leave the room. He sits down on the fireplace with a drink on his head. He begins tearing down as he thinks to himself. 'Sister what have I done? I betray you and broke our oath.'
(Carta Hidden Base)
"Droy... Jet..."
Levy is down on the ground injured with her partners died beside her. She can't believe what happen. The team was attack by the Carta when they enter the kingdom and she looks to see the boss looking at her. "Hah! As you can see, you can't beat this crew. The Carta (Mostly me) is the greatest criminals in history! Soon we will control all of Thedas with-"
"Boss." One of the captains interrupts Ratbag who snaps out of his speech.
"Oh thank you Laxus I lost myself there." Levy can't believe the name what he said. The grandson of Makarov who was kick out of Fairy Tail for trying to takeover.
"L-laxus why are you doing this?" She questions while in pain. He seems to look apathetic but there is a hint of guilt. "When the old man kick me out, I needed a job and this fool ("Hey!") gave me one."
"Take her to the cells, we'll deal with her later." Ratbag orders while the other captain uses her red hair to take her away.
"Yes Boss-sama."
"Thank you Flare."
(Campsite in the Deep Roads)
The Wardens are sitting around the fire with Sereda meeting everyone and Tenebris is explaining what happen to Trian. "I chase some Alphas and took them out. While I was hiding to bandage my stomach from a axe wound, I saw Bhelen and his guards ambushing Trian and killing him."
Sereda looks down at the truth: Bhelen killed their brother and frame her. She looks around and see many looks of sympathy. "I have no where to go so I wish to join the Wardens."
"Welcome to the Grey Wardens Sereda Aeducan, we welcome you." Duncan tells her with the former princess happy. She looks at her Legion of the Dead armor and then her weapon: Forge-master's hammer. She swears to herself to one day return to Orzammar and deal with her brother.
Meanwhile, Tenebris taps Duncan on the shoulder and says they need to talk privately. They walk away from the campsite and away from the others. "What's wrong Tenebris?"
"When I chase those Darkspawn, I notice one of them was giving orders."
"What is the problem? Darkspawn do communicate to eachother."
"It was speaking english Duncan." The announcement shocks the senior warden.
Omake- Dark One's fight against the starters. A new tool for Tenebris
The 2 pokemon have begun their assault with Infernape kicking Garchomp while Empoleon turn his flipper into steel and tries to hit Tenebris who dodges it. "Tenebris catch!" Cynthia yells as she throws a pokeball which he catches. "That is a pokemon that will help you!"
"Thanks Cynthia, come on out!" With a shout, he throws the pokeball to reveal Greninja: A water frog in the form of a ninja. Tenebris-Bongo and Greninja runs against the penguin pokemon and runs around it. It is unable to see either of them due to their speed as Tenebris throws his ninja stars while Greninja spits water in the shape of ninja stars, hitting Empoleon from all sides. Meanwhile Garchomp is wrestling Infernape, trying to slam eachother to the ground. The dragon uses chomp and rips off the monkey's head off as Empoleon falls to the with shurikens all over his body.
"Nice job Tenebris! Tell you what, you can keep Greninja." Cynthia congrats him.
"That turtle ran away with Cyrus to go after Dialga." Tenebris looks to the direction Cyrus ran away.
"We should go after them."
"You are right Cynthia but I should catch some pokemon to take on the time pokemon."
"Very well, I will go after them while you catch some pokemon. Here." She hands him 5 pokeballs.
"Good luck Cynthia." Is all he said as they separate and go their own ways.
