Lilith walked into the house, unafraid, happy beyond expression, until she saw Morrigan.

"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR PRETTY LITTLE MIND!" Morrigan shrieked at her daughter.

"I," Lilith stammered.

"I COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR GRANDMOTHER! FIFTEEN YEARS IN THE DEEP ROADS... MEANINGLESSLY WASTED! MY HEART, YOUR FATHER'S HEART BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR! FOR WHAT? THE WORD OF A BLOOD-MAGE? THINK LILITH!"

"Mother, please...,"

Morrigan stared out the window. "I love you Lilith, with all my heart and soul, I love you. But you need to be more careful. WHAT have I always told you? Trust ONLY yourself! Had Fenris, the lyrium laced elf following you, not sent word through the Wardens in the Orlesian Empire to the mage you met... yes he's a Tevinter, and Yes he is a friend of your father, and YES, he is the Warden Mage at your birthing. You would have been shredded by those lyrium addled urchins. Think girl!, Why didn't you even attempt to kill them?"

Lilith was choking on her tears, "Mommy... they were children."

Morrigan's cold visage exploded into tears, "YOU, ARE 'MY' CHILD! I WOULD FILL LAKES WITH THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO SEEK TO HARM YOU! EVERY LAST DROP OF MINE IN YOUR DEFENSE! NEVER LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN... PLEASE PRETTY GIRL. Now come here and hug your terrified mother before I turn into a spider and wrap you up for your own good. "

Lilith hugged her mother desperately, "I'm so sorry mother, I never meant to...," her tears flowed out of her.

"I know," Morrigan sighed into her daughter's forehead, "now come on, your brother has gone to collect Jowan and the ... eh... children. Your father and his men are outside. He's going to give you a big hug and me a fierce glare and I will attempt not to laugh... He's cured Lilith, the Wardens will have true generals, veteran warriors, and ageless, gifted mages. We are ready daughter."

"Mother, you consider us Wardens?"Lilith asked her, more than a little surprised.

"I am your father's, he is a warden, you and your brother were raised in the Deep Roads. The order, for the moment, are the only people in Thedas truly free from any control by any government or religious order. If we aren't, no one is."
