Rebecca is with her Warden and friends at the Keep when a scout runs in. "Warden-Commander, Amaranthine is under attack by the Darkspawn Horde!"
She quickly gets off her seat and takes Howe, Sigrun and Velanna to the city. She does however give the other Wardens instructions in case of an attack.
"Everyone get back!" A soldier shouts from the watchtower as she is crushed by a giant boulder. Oghren goes next the gate that is being hit by the Darkspawn Horde. He chugs his beer and throws it down. He holds his maul and prepares as the Darkspawn break the gate open.
"Let's go!" The Dwarf Warden charges at the Hurlocks and Ogres with the soldiers behind him. Anders comes out of the clinic and creates fire balls to strike them down. Justice runs at the Darkspawn and cleaves a Hurlock in half while Oghren jumps at an ogre, who catches the dwarf and throws him through Keyaru's tent. The healer ducks when the warden almost hits him and lands on a bed. He begins to heal Oghren and he gets up.
"Go get them tiger!" Keyaru massages Oghren's shoulders and throws him out back to the battle. He looks outside to that same ogre try to stomp on the dwarf but he runs under him and slams his maul which his knee which break and makes him kneel. The Dwarf Warden then smashes the ogre on the head.
"Eat it you Nugs! Wait, we am I not drunk?"
"I detox you!" Keyaru yells at Oghren, who feels insulted.
"What the Stones, Keyaru?"
"I saw some Darkspawn attack the Alcohol Cellar! Seems like they need a savior." The Healer bribes the angry dwarf, who nods in agreement.
"You are right. I'm coming beer!" Oghren runs to the cellar to protect his precious alcohol. Anders creates barriers to stop the Darkspawn from breaking in the keep. Keyaru runs to injured soldiers and heals them then goes to another. He ducks a swing from a Hurlock and keeps running to other knights.
Keyaru bump into someone. He is about to apologize when he finds himself pick up by a ogre and yell at. He begins to scream due to the yelling and in pain as it begins to crush him. Justice cuts off it's hand and Keyaru falls, still with the hand on him. The healer takes the ogre's fingers off him. Anders helps him up and they run with Justice towards the leader of the Darkspawn Army: The Herald. It wields two giant cleaver-like swords. It enters the keep through the broken gates and growls once it looks towards the Wardens.
Justice stabs at the Herald, who parries and slashes with the other cleaver. The spirit within the dead Warden doesn't feel the pain and cuts the Herald's hand off. The Herald however stabs Justice through his chest. Oghren runs at the Darkspawn Disciple and hits it on the head with his maul. This sends it flying and lands next to Anders, who creates a giant icicle and stabs the Herald which traps it. Keyaru grabs the Herald by the head and uses his magic on it. The Herald shakes it's head uncontrollable and explodes.
"Oh god! I knew I can do it but didn't expect that!" Keyaru lets go and sits down on the ground, a little frighten of the result of his Healing Magic. His magic can multiple a person's cells so much that their bodies can't handle it and so explodes.
The Darkspawn runs away from Vigil's Keep. The Wardens and Knights have succeeded in the Keep's defense. Anders checks on his teacher, who is next to the broken gate. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Keyaru calms himself and looks at Justice, who still has the cleaver in his chest. "What about him?"
Anders doesn't look concern as Justice takes the blade and rips it off. "Don't worry. He can't die so easily. I say we should celebrate we won. Isn't that right Sir Pounce-A-Lot?"
He pulls the kitten out of his robe and rubs his checks with the little guy. Keyaru smiles seeing his student is alright as well as his friends. Anders looks up at the sky and sees the remnants of the giant gate break off it's hedges. Seeing it about to land on Keyaru, Anders reacts and pushes him and Sir Pounce-A-Lot out of the way. Anders smiles at his mentor and is crush by the gate.
"Anders!" The Healing Hero shouts his student's name. He tries to lift the gate and other wardens arrive to help him when explosions ring out and knocks Keyaru back. He falls with a daze and hears someone yelling.
"The Darkspawn planted explosives all over the keep! Get those fires out!"
That was when someone drags Keyaru away. He looks at the gate where his friend is trap under it.
"Anders…" He can only mutter and black out from the pain.
"Meow!" The unmistakable purr of Sir Pounce-A-Lot awakens Keyaru and finds himself on a brig. He tries to get up but falls. He checks his neck and feels a collar on his neck with a chain, holding him in place. Keyaru is freaking out at what appears to be a prison. The kitten jumps on his lap to calm him down.
"Good, you are awake." A voice gets the healer's attention. He follows a voice and 4 feet from him is a two Qunari with chains holding them in place as well.
"Where are we? Wait, Vigil's Keep-"
One of them interrupts him. "It is fine. The Wardens have defeated the Darkspawn. We were capture by the Qunari while everyone was distracted."
"That is right Saarebas." Three Qunari enters the brig of the ship. All of them are holding metal masks. The one talking is the same Qunari that Keyaru defeated with the Tal-Vashoth. "You will be given your true role. You are all dangerous and must be kept in chains."
They put the masks on them and one of them grabs Sir Pounce-A-Lot. Keyaru tries to help his friend but he is held down by a foot stomping on his chest. "Weapons do not keep pets. This belongs under the sea."
"Sir Pounce-A-Lot!" Keyaru, still pin down, holds his hand out as the Qunari takes the kitten away and goes up to the deck of the ship.
The three Saarebas are now on the deck of the Dreadnaught, being train on their magic with an Arvaarad watching, holding the rod that will activate their collars. They are all wearing heavy armor and chains on them. The one that talks to Keyaru holds his hand to show an icicle while the silent one holds up his hand up as well to reveal a fireball. The Arvaarad walks in front of Keyaru, waiting for him to succeed or fail. Keyaru puts his hands together and creates static. Arvaarad activates the rod which causes him great pain and makes the healer kneel.
"Only one hand." Is all the Qunari said and picks him up with one hand. "Again."
Keyaru holds his hand and static that can barely be seen comes out. Unknown to anyone, the silent Saarebas is watching a group of Qunari carry barrels full of gaatlok powder and goes down the stairs.
