The Wolfs Lament
The silver wolf sat wailing into the vast emptiness of the Fade as the dark storm swirled beside him its form angry and ever changing. This was what was left of the woman he loved. Cold, dark the warm gentle song the harmony that was his Aryan was now more like nails against glass. At first he had watched from afar hoping against hope she would pull out of it. To no avail then he had tried to push through the wall of darkness and get to her. But the barrier had pushed back hurling him out of the fade. He was at a loss now she had cut herself off from not only from her friends but him. Returning to the form known to many as Solas the apostate elf, Fen'Harel the Dread Wolf, the barrier he had placed around them to keep the demons at bay was now holding for now but her sorrow drew more demons attacking the barrier and it could only hold so long. She was losing herself to the darkness, and the demons were closing in. That was why he was staying close by her telling her about the past. Arlathan, the rebellion and how he had started it. Then he told her of given Corypheus the orb in hopes of fixing his mistake only to be tricked.
Anything to pull her out of it.
She was further than ever from him, Aryan, ma Vehan, how did we not see this coming? I thought you would be safe till I could fix my mistake. Lies, tricks, the betrayer betrayed. It should have been his mantra now, for he had been betrayed by first the Eleven and their gods, then by the dales their lies showing them to be nothings but ignorant children given freedoms they did not appreciate. Now his loves people betrayed, murdered, his sins falling through the years to be avenged on her and her clan. Bad enough he had to leave her to break her heart and his but this. He remembered the first time he felt it like an hot dagger plunged into his soul cutting him slowly into a million shattered pieces. He had been retrieving a particular item for Mythal when the pain had over taken him causing him to withdraw to the fade, here the place where his heart was trapped in darkness.
This is not what I wanted for you, be angry at me yes, but do not give into it so many need you my love. I need you, he thought admitting it for probably the first time in his life. I told you I would come back, in another world. It will be green trees forever. We will have a place by the waterfall you seem to like it there. Well spend our days exploring the magic's of the world and nights in the Fade. No chantey to tell us how magic is wicked or no inquisition to cage you. The Dalish will be there to a new home free of Elgar'nan and Andruil's cruelity. NO slaves. Well keep the good of the old and throw out the bad. Our own little word." Looking down at his lap he could almost see the mass of red curly hair his fingers laced into the locks as he continued on. Looking at the wall of darkness that separated her from him it was strong as the walls of skyhold and sometimes even resembled her gilded cage.
"You know wolf this isn't going to work." Mythal's sharp voice rang out shattering his thoughts.
His jaw tightened into a frown as he heard his friends voice "Come to revel in the fruits of your handiwork my friend. I'm assuming this is not what you quite planned. So if you would not mind. . "
Mythal shook her head negatively. "Oh wolf, you know perfectly well I would never put a hand to them. If you want to blame Elgar'nan and Andruil hands in this. I hear the way many were killed were reminiscent of one of her hunts. They-She will be given justice."
Solace bolted up with lighting speed his usually calm demeanor replaced with something else she had not seen since their betrayal and the rebellion. Unbridled rage. "JUSTICE! What do you know of the word? It is precisely is justice? Marrying a man just to "save the world" while your true love is forced to watch? Marrying a man you don't love while you use me to send your beloved your heart? Perhaps it was justice that my brothers and your loves people were locked away for your husband's jealousy?" he curled his fist so tight that they shook violently.
The sight of his fury made Mythal step back with a hint of fear. She had seen him angry before. . Oh yes, one such time he had even after Anduril's most messy hunt her friend had ripped the throats out of all the Huntress' priests and favorites hearts ripped out and left on display for all her slaves to see. It was a sight, the look on Anduril's face was priceless. . . For that Elgar'nan had punished Fen'Harel by bounding him to the wolf, making it hard for her dear friend to bond with anyone much less fall in love. She sighed heavily then looked at the wall of darkness. "There will be Justice wolf, but first I need to return to your body. Flemeth and I both agree you have your own path to follow. Plus she needs you more." Mythal said as she placed her hand on the dark wall as an ear piercing sound of sorrow shook the fade.
Solace moved quickly in-between Mythal and the wall "Oh no you don't I have caused her enough pain you will not-"
Mythal smirked "Easy Wolf there is only one person I think can help her is YOU Fido. All I will do is take you to her and find myself and Flemeth a new host, no little red curly locks will I touch." Solas moved up toward her in protest, "And don't start that your shame brought her to this she would be better off with out you mess. All I ask is before you runway again, just go to see her. THEN and only THEN will I stop meddling. Deal?"
Solas looked at the silver haired goddess and nodded in agreement " Fido?" as he raised his left crow up ward slightly.
She chuckled "I hear that is what Shemlan call their dogs. So tell me this perfect world you're going to make does it have a place for a loveable ,well-intentioned, trouble making ,goddess of Justice-Love, and so much more? I mean because what your selling wolf sounds like what I am looking for?"
Solace gave Mythal a half smile then turned back to the wall "I'll go to see her. . . I have something's I need to say anyway."
