Author's Note-
Hi! It's me again, with an update. Hope you enjoy. I keep fantasizing about this story I am writing. Basically, can't get it out of my head and wanted to write it out. It'll probably be a foursome with three males and a female. Haven't figured out who to seduce.

(Main Character- POV)
A whimper sounds quietly next to my ear as I start to wake from my weird dream. Rolling over, I attempt to pull the body of the noise closer to cuddle. Normally, my husband calms at my touch in his sleep and we cuddle closer but for some reason the shape of the person is different. Snuggling closer seemed to have stop the noise so I begin to relax back to sleep. I put my arm in it's normal spot between his pecs on his chest and discover far more than I bargained for. Ooops. Wait. Where am I?
Sitting up, I recognize the dungeon I'm in. But from where... I have never been in a dungeon before... Have I? I notice the torches on the walls flickering in the brackets. The stone walls are beautifully made, almost archaic with trailing moss and maybe some mold.
The woman, that I accidently cuddled, sits up and glares at me a bit. "You should learn to keep your hands to yourself, elf."
I grimace and nod my head at her. "Sorry. Thought you were my husband."
The guards seem to impersonate statues with dark shadows seeping from them and their eyes stare at me with distrust. It is almost like they can see I don't belong here, but I'm not here to impress them anyways.
"Where am I?" The words echo in the room and bounces off the walls. The torches flicker a little as the guards look to each other and then back at me menacingly.
"Quiet, knife ear. You both should have been killed before you could talk yourselves out of what you did!" One of the guards says growing in volume.
"What-" I want to mention the fact that I'm human as I reach up to my ears. Also, I didn't do anything but dream about drowning and a city. What the fuck? When did I grow bigger ears?
The sound of the slamming doors makes me jump violently. The guards begin to laugh at me but stop halfway through as they stand at attention. Turning towards the noise, I see a pissed woman with mahogany hair and full body armor.
"Tell me why we shouldn't kill you now... The Conclave is destroyed! Everyone who attended is dead!... Except for you two!" I pause, intimidated, as she yells at us with anger. She seems familiar.
The nameless woman I cuddled, on accident, decides to speak for the both of us. Which I will name her cuddle bug for the time being. Though, I don't know that I could speak in the face of the beautiful and angry woman. "What do you mean everyone is dead?"
"Explain this!" The deadly, pissed woman snatches both of our hands and they flash emerald with colored sand leaking out.
Aptly renamed Cuddle Bug replies. "I... Can't." Something about the sand makes me start to daydream as I listen to the conversation.
"What do you mean, you can't?" The mad woman growls out to us.
"I don't know what that is or how it got there." Cuddle bug sounds frustrated as she tells the woman this.
"You're lying!" Flinching a little, we both move closer to each other despite not knowing the other.
Another beautiful woman with ruby hair appears out of the shadows and places her hand gently on the mad woman's shoulder. "We need them, Cassandra."
This feels like deja vu. Where do I remember that name from? Something about dragons?
Cuddle bug sighs. "I can't believe it, all those people... dead."
"Do you remember what happened? How this began?" The pretty ruby haired lady says quietly to us.
I shake my head a bit slowly before I speak. "I thought I was dreaming. It began with drowning and then a empty city. I'm not sure."
Cuddle bug winces with me at the thought of drowning. "I remember running. Things were chasing us. And then... another woman." She says staring at our captors.
The ruby haired lady stirs at this and starts to speak. "A woman?"
"She reached out to me, but then..." Cuddle bug stops hers sentence short.
Cassandra runs her fingers through her hair and looks at the ruby haired woman. "Go to the forward camp, Leliana. I will take them to the rift."
The newly named Leliana nods and leaves through the dark shadows in the hallway. These people and names sound so familiar. Rifts? Cassandra? Leliana? It's on the tip of my tongue...
I hesitate but eventually speak up as Cassandra gets some rope from the guards. "What did happen?"
"It will be easier to show you." She removes our manacles and I turn to stare at Cuddle bug with wide eyes. She glances at me for a second before watching Cassandra with wariness. I notice Cassandra loosely ties our arms with rope over the newly forming bruises that escaped our attention.

First Chapter ending. I think. I'm excited for more.
