A/N: This is what happens when you play BioWares Dragon Age, while wanting to type another chapter. If you haven't played Dragon Age: Origins, then there might be some spoilers. If you have, then YAY! :D

"-And then the Grey Warden ran towards the arch dragon and took her sword, jumped and stabbed the dragon in the eye!"

"Ewww" the children giggled as Commander Anastasia Shepard told them a story. Normandy was on a colony planet, it wasn't your typical human colony, it was more of an alien colony. There were Krogan, Drell, Asari, and every other kind of aliens -except the Geth, were living on this planet. The crew was helping put in the colony's defense system.

And since Shepard was on her well deserved shore leave, she was entertain the children of the colony with stories.

"What happened next?" A Salarain asked hugging his doll -which by the way seemed like an alien version of a teddy bear... just add more legs and eyes.

Shepard smiled and continued on with her story. "What happened next you say? Well after killing the dragon, the blight was over. Alistair became king, and took the Grey Warden, Elissa Cousland, as his queen. And they lived happily ever after!"

"That's it?" a Krogan asked folding his arms in disbelief. "I wanted more action..." Commander patted his head and smiled at the Krogan, who smiled back.

"B-but... didn't...didn't...D-dun..." A shy Quarian stuttered, she too was hugging a doll, a doll who was Commander Shepard.

"Duncan?"

"Yeah...him...Didn't he... s-say s-something about d-death?" Damn. Ana was hopping that they didn't hear that part of the story...How on Earth was she supposed to tell children that the Grey Warden told her beloved Alistair to sleep with the Witch of the Wilds, Morrigan, so that everyone could survive the damn blight.

An idea popped into the commander's head. "Magic!" It was half true, just minus the sex ritual.

"Magic?" A human child asked. "Magic isn't real."

"Or is it?" Shepard asked back winking at the boy who's eyes just widened.

"M-magic isn't real because if it was, then why didn't we use it to defeat the Reapers!" True.

"Because that would mean that I didn't save the universe." Shepard retorted. "And I wouldn't be here telling you stories, now would I?" Letting her inner child come out, she stuck her tongue out at the boy, who did the same. The children giggled.

"Commander! Tell us another story! Please?!" A human girl asked, her blonde hair in pig tails.

"Please!" All the children cried out.

Shepard laughed. "Okay, okay. Which one do you want to hear next. A story about Lady Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall. Or a story about...yours truly?" She pointed to herself.

The children laughed.

"Lady Hawke!" The Salarian said holding up his alien bear doll. The children nodded.

"Hmmm... if this so called Lady Hawke is the Champion of Kirkwall...then there must me more action!" The Krogan said punching his fists together,

"Why are all your stories about female hero's?" Another Asari asked playing with her dress. "Is it because your a female, Commander?"

"Honestly? My mother told me these stories when I was a kid. Actually, the stories were passed down in my family. According to my great grandmother's journal, we were related to the Grey Warden and the Hawke, or so I've read."

"Is this going to be another romance story?" The human boy asked.

"Yes, but it's minor. Plus Lady Hawke falls in love with an Elf."

"An Elf? What's an elf?"

"Mystic creatures with pointy ears who live long lives, some say they are immortal."

An Asari laughed. "Immortal? Immortal my tush! If their immortal then why haven't I heard of them? Asari live long lives too!"

"Elves live on Earth, forests. They live of the 'old way'. Now do you wanna hear the story of Lady Hawke or not?"

"Yes!" The children shouted.

"Okay then," Shepard said smiling. "The story begins..."

A/N: Short chapter, I know. I only add chapters when I have good ideas what to drabble about. Review would be highly appreciated. And maybe, you might get a cookie! :)
