Jimmy sat at the kitchen table, humming softly to the radio as she worked on her homework. Bright white curtains fluttered in the kitchen windows as a soft wind blew. It was a peaceful day, the prefect day to relax and catch up on homework. Ms Vin was vicious when it came to homework and she dreaded listening to the woman's stern lectures when someone didn't finish their homework. The old bat needed to get laid.
Her cell phone jumped around on the table, belting out some cheesy ringtone she picked. She glanced at the caller ID and smiled. It was Lizzy, her best friend since grade school. Quickly she flipped it open and held the phone to her ear with her shoulder, scribbling an answer on her notebook.
"What's up mousey lady?" she sang as she began to work on the next question. She didn't know why everyone complained about math, it wasn't that hard. "Finally done with track practice?"
"You bet," her friend said cheerfully. "Ran my best time today! The track meet next week is going to piece of chocolate cake!"
"What's with you and food?" Jimmy asked with a giggle.
"I'm hungry," Lizzy complained. "Come with me to the diner. They make the best chocolate cake and milkshakes, my treat."
"I dunno," Jimmy drawled. "I'm working on Ms Vin's homework. You know how she gets when someone doesn't do it. I do NOT want to be her next victim with the year ending soon."
"Bah I finished that this morning," the girl scoffed. "Just wait till you get to Mr Ali's homework. I swear that man spends half of class just joking and talking about sports and hair! Why did he chose to teach history? And coach the track team ugh!"
"Alright alright," Jimmy laughed. "Let me ask Mom if I can go. Dad's been in the shop all day so I'm sure he won't car.e" Jimmy covered the mouth piece and holler at the ceiling. "MOM! CAN I GO WITH LIZZY TO THE DINER? WE'RE GONNA CELEBRATE HER NEW RECORD!"
"Yes sweetie," her mom called, her voice muffled slightly but Jimmy could still hear her musical voice. "Tell her I said hi and she needs to come visit or else I won't go with you to her next meet."
"THANKS MOM," she hollered and went back to her phone. "I can go. Mom says hi and that you need to come visit, oh second daughter of her's, or else she won't come with me to your next meet."
"I will I will," Lizzy groaned. "Now hurry up, I'll meet you at the diner. We definitely need to talk about those two new kids that just started. I think the guy is so hot with his blonde hair and accent."
"You think every blonde is hot," she laughed. "The girl though, I swear all the guys are drooling after her! Have you seen her tits? Damn!"
"I know! Let's finish this conversation at the diner! I'll get Nick to bring us home."
She said her byes and closed her books, setting them in a neat pile next to her spot at the table. Standing up she turned off the radio. The sudden silence was strange but she ignored it as she slipped on her shoes. The sound of footsteps made her wary and she was right to be. A little body flung itself at her, wrapping it's arms around her waist.
"Can I go?" Jonah asked, staring up at her with his big blue eyes. "Come on sissy, let me come with."
"No way owl face," she teased, tickling her little brother until he let go. "I thought you were going to go play with the neighbor boys this afternoon? Something about cards or something. Don't let mom know you are gambling at such a young age."
"It's Yugimon," he protested, pointing at his shirt that had the name proudly stamped on it. "The twins are being mean, saying their cards are better than mine and Timmy said he might not make it. He's got a science project to finish."
"Well then go with Gem," she said. The dog lifted her head at the sound of her name. She had been napping behind the back door again. Jonah sighed but went to get his shoes. Seeing her escape Jimmy quickly fled, making her way across the yard. "See you later Dad." A grunt came from the shed that was her dad's workshop. She shook her head and followed the narrow trail that would take her from her house to the main road where the diner was.
The woods were strangely silent and she noticed that for some reason. She frowned, shaking her head as she followed the path. For some reason she kept brushing her hip as if something was there that she should be holding. With a scowl she lightly smacked her face. There was nothing wrong. It was just a normal day.
A crack startled her and she stumbled over some branches, skinning her knees. She cursed and looked around, wondering what made the sound. Squinting she stared into the trees. Something had to be big to make a noise that loud yet she didn't see anything. Grumbling about being nervous she got to her feet and fell back down with a yelp. There was a wolf standing on the trail.
Nervously she stared at the wolf who simply stared back. She had done a paper about them for biology and she knew there were none around here. Well at least native anyways. Maybe it escaped from the zoo. It still hadn't moved and just stared.
"Hey buddy," she said slowly. "Let's not get hasty here. You don't eat me and I won't scream for help ok? Ok." The wolf continued to stare but it's ears had moved as if it understood. She studied in, taking in the beauty of it. It's fur was a mixture of dark brown and black, it's eyes a brownish gold. Slowly she got to her feet and it bolted, barely making a sound.
I should follow it, she thought for some reason. Wait, why should I? It's a wild animal and it might attack me. Then again, there are a lot of kids that play out here and if there is a wolf roaming around they could get hurt.
The thought of Jonah getting bit was enough motivation and courage for her to follow the wolf. At first it was easy, the trees were thing and there seemed to be a little path she could follow. Slowly, however, it got harder and harder to get around in the trees. She thought about giving up and going back but then she would spot the wolf, just a few feet away and still moving, so she continued on. Suddenly the trees began to thin again and she was in a clearing.
Jimmy looked around, feeling confused. The trees around the clearing were huge and the brush between them were dense. How did she get through all that? Looking down she yelped. Gone was her tank top and shorts to be replaced with strange looking dark brown clothing. Her hip felt heavy and she screamed slightly when she saw what looked like a sword there. Franticly she looked around, feeling tears well up. She wanted to go home, back to where her family was.
She whirled around, the sword in her hand. Strangely she felt more at ease with it, as if she had used one before, but she focused on what startled her. Loud footsteps approached her and she spotted a fully armored figure walking towards her. The figure looked familiar, as if she had seen it once before. Two more figures followed behind it, a man and a woman.
"Jimmy you must fight this," the armored figure said, it's voice sounding manly. "This is not real. Remember who you are and what you have done. Your life has never been so peaceful before."
"Who are you?" she squeaked, shifting her body. "Where am I? I want to go home!"
The figure walked closer until it stood before her, looking down. She couldn't see anything under the helmet. There were eye holes but she couldn't see his eyes. All she saw was darkness. Slowly it reached out and touched the side of her head, causing her to jump and grab her ear.
"What the-" she began only to freeze. Slowly she ran her fingers over her ears, blinking in surprise. The were long and pointy, not small and round. She stared at the sword, her sword, and tightened her grip on it. Teagen had given her this sword. Leliana and Alistair had helped her pick it out among all the swords. She lifted her head, blinking as her memories returned. She never had a family, at least not a mom or a dad. Never had she lived in a cozy little home. No, she had lived on the streets before being swept away to a new world. A world she was helping to defend with new friends.
"Who are you?" she asked only to discover the mysterious figure had vanished. She looked around, spotting Alistair and Morrigan as they raced towards her. "It's good to see you two! Where is everyone else? Where are we?"
"You're alright," Alistair cried, picking her up and giving her a strong hug. "I thought I lost my little friend! I was about to cry."
"Shut up you idiot," Morrigan growled. "You'll attract demons with all your yelling. Let us hurry and figure out a way out of this place."
"Where are we?" Jimmy asked when Alistair finally released her. "It's like we are in the middle of a snowstorm without all the snow." The place they were was completely white, not a blemish to be seen. Nervously she looked at her feet. It was unnerving as if they were simply hanging in the air.
"We are in the Fade I believe," Morrigan mused. "But it is not like any part of the Fade I have seen. Were you rescued by an armored man? He killed the demon that was trying to trap me and pulled Alistair from somewhere."
"Yeah," she said slowly. "Didn't say much though. If I see him again you want me to get his name and where he lives for you? You guys would make such an adorable couple."
Morrigan glared at her but didn't say anything. Instead she focused on the area around them. With a curt order for them to stay put she wandered off, inspecting the endless looking space. There wasn't much to do or see so Jimmy sat on the ground, floor, hard surface and waited. After a few moments Alistair joined her, staring off into literally nothing.
"You alright bud?" she asked after a few minutes of silence. "You look as if your dog died."
"Not a dog," he sighed. He glanced at her then at Morrigan who was a human shaped smudge in the distance. "Can I tell you something? You can't tell the others though. They'll make fun of me about it."
"Scout's honor," she said solemnly. Alistair grinned at that for a second before he stared at his feet, looking depressed.
"Before that man came and got me," he said slowly. "I thought I was with my sister and her family. Half sister. I haven't really told you about Goldana have I?" Jimmy shook her head. "Well she's my half sister, mother's side. Anyways I was so happy, spending time with the family I never had. Then that armored man appeared and cut her in half. I was going to attack him when I realized that my sister had been a demon the whole time. So were her children, they attacked us and we fought them off. He didn't say anything and suddenly I worn looking path, Morrigan was there too and did not looked pleased and he just went off in another direction."
"Don't feel bad," she said softly, staring at her feet. "I also thought I had a family, a mom, a dad, and a little brother. I had a normal life until I followed a normal looking wolf. Then I ran into Mister Mysterious and he brought me back to reality. That's when I saw you guys."
"At least I'm not the only one pining for a family," Alistair teased kind heartedly. "We can form our own group, the Orphan Clan. Catchy?"
"That's horrible," she laughed, smacking him on the shoulder. "We have a family though. All of us, we are like some crazy, dysfunctional family. There's a mom, a dad, some annoying siblings, even a granny!"
"Should I guess who's who?" he drawled. Jimmy was about to give him a smart ass answer when Morrigan suddenly appeared before them, causing both Wardens to yelp.
"If you two are done chatting," she sniffed. "I've figured out how to get out of here. I do not know what will happen though. If we are separated stay put and I will find you."
"What about the others?" Jimmy asked. "We gotta help them if they are having the same problem as we did. Well, unless armor man is going to single handedly rescue them."
"I do not know but we will figure that out later. Quickly, follow me."
Jimmy and Alistair stayed close to Morrigan, uneasy being here. She glanced around, wondering what exactly this place was in the Fade. Morrigan had spoke of the Fade before but she never really paid any attention. Now she really wished she had. She looked over at the witch and Alistair only to notice they were gone.
"Well shit," she grumbled, looking around. The white space was gone, replaced with a very depressing, lifeless waste land. "It's times like these I miss Fen and his big mouth."
Morrigan had said to stay put but she heard voices nearby. Maybe it was them. Cautiously she followed the strange path that led her towards the voices. What she saw was very interesting.
Sten sat with two other qunari, huddled near a small fire. The two were complaining loudly and Sten snapped at them to mind themselves. He lifted his head and spotted her, surprise filling his face. One of the qunari made a comment and Sten snapped at him to be respectful and shut up.
"Sten!" Jimmy cried, racing over to him. "Am I glad to see you! Who are your friends? They don't seem very pleasant or happy on that note."
"Join us kadan," Sten said respectfully. He glared at the other two. "Make room at the fire."
"Don't eat what he cooks," one the qunari said, jerking his thumb at the grumpy looking qunari. "Unless you want to spend the night at the latrine."
"Why don't you cook then?" Grumpy snapped.
"Not my turn."
"Be quiet," Sten growled.
"Is this how most qunari act?" Jimmy asked, eyeing the two as she moved to stand next to Sten. "I've never seen you act like them."
"Can we go home?" Grumpy whined. "I'm sick and tired of this place. Clearly the Arishok's reports were wrong. Can we just go home?"
"No," Sten growled. Grumpy continued to mutter and complain but Sten ignored him. "No, kadan. This is just a dream. I know they are not real. I saw them die before my very eyes."
"That's depressing," the other qunari, his tone more mocking, commented.
"I know it is not real but it's comforting," Sten sighed. Jimmy looked at him sadly and patted his shoulder.
"I'm sorry Sten," she said softly. "I know how it feels to want something that won't happen but we can't stay here. We got work to do elsewhere and a Blight to stop."
"Why bother." She stared at Sten. Never had she heard the qunari ever sound depressed or defeated, not even when he had been caged in Lothering. It tore at her heart, making her want to cry when he looked at the other two qunari sadly.
"It's our duty," she said confidently. "Remember all that talk about having a place in life and that stuff about the Qun you told me? We can't just roll over like dogs and wait to die. We gotta fight for our right, eh, to kill darkspawn!"
"There is truth in your words," he rumbled, slowly rising to his feet. "Perhaps you are right. It is time to end this dream."
"You can't just leave your post," Grumpy snarled, jumping to his feet with Mocky at his side.
"Stand down," Sten snapped. "I would hate to have you die a second time."
The two ignored him and attacked, turning into creepy looking demons. Sword in hand she jumped into the fight, Sten following her. Together they fought his former comrades that were now demons. It was a difficult fight but soon the demons' bodies laid on the ground. Sten stared at them, his eyes expressionless, then turned to stare at her.
"Let us go," was all he said. She nodded and headed down the path. They didn't speak for the first half of the walk. She felt like he needed to digest what happened.
"Hey Sten?" she piped up, glancing over at the silent giant. "Can I ask you a question?"
"You will ever if I say no," he replied. It could have just been her but she swore she heard a hint of a smile in his voice.
"What's an Arishok?"
As they walked down the seemingly endless path Sten explain the three pillars of the Qun, the Arishok being one of them. From what she could understand he was pretty much Sten's boss. She also learned Sten wasn't his name but his title. He didn't seem to mind being called it and didn't offer any other name. Just as he began to explain the purpose of the Qun he stopped talking. Jimmy turned to see why he had stopped talking but the space next to her was empty. Stopping she looked around. There was no sign of Sten anywhere. It was as if he had never been there.
Nervously she continued to walk down the path. There was no point in just standing there since she had already ignored Morrigan's warning to stay put. Instead she headed down the bleak path humming. Slowly she began to sing to end the depressing silence.
"I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire, exhale desire
I know it's dire, my time today
I have these thoughts so often I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence looking at my face
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve, my skin will scream
Reminding me of who I killed
Inside my dream, I hate this car
That I'm driving there's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel."
A strange noise halted her singing. It sounded as if someone was chanting or praying. Who would be doing something like that in the middle of no where? Slowly it dawned on her and eagerly she ran down the path. She darted around the corner and slide to a stop, glee filling her face with a giant smile.
Leliana knelt before an alter, her hands clasped before her as she prayed. A strange woman stood next to her, watching the bard. The woman looked up and stared at her. Leliana didn't notice, her eyes closed as she prayed.
"Leliana," she said happily. "Boy am I happy to see you!"
Leliana looked up at her, confusion dancing across her face. She rose to her feet and eyed her warily.
"Who are you?"
It felt like someone had just punched her in the gut. She stared at the other woman, her mouth opening and closing but no noise escaped. Her mind didn't seem to want to function but those three words spun around her head like a dog chasing it's tail.
"Leliana it's me," she said slowly, walking closer to her. "Jimmy remember? We first met in Lothering, Morrigan had whacked me upside the head and you took care of the others and me when they ran into trouble."
"I'm sorry I do not remember," Leliana said slowly, rubbing her head. "Reverd Mother, who is this person?"
"Please do not bother her child," the other woman said harshly. "She needs to rest and pray, right Sister Leliana?"
"Bull roar," Jimmy growled. "Leliana, you know who I am. Remember the Grey Wardens, King Cailan, that stupid dead bush with the one rose? Don't you remember your dream of falling? Get your head straight. I can't believe you forgot all the songs I taught you."
"I-I," Leliana began slowly but the old woman cut her off.
"Stop this now," she barked. "You are confusing the poor girl. Her dream was nothing more than a dream. She has no reason to remember you."
"Actually," Leliana began slowly, turning to glare at the old woman. "I do remember. The Reverd Mother told me to listen to my dream, that the Maker spoke to us in mysterious ways. She never said it was nothing. Jimmy, I do remember you. I'm so sorry I forgot you."
"I'll forgive you later," Jimmy said, eyeing the old woman as she began to shift nervously. "If my facts are right, that old bat is going to turn into a demon soon."
She was right. The woman screeched and in a flash of light stood as a demon before them, snarling. Leliana backed up and stood next to her, her daggers free while Jimmy settled her sword and shield.
"You should have just listened," the demon screeched. "You could have stayed here forever!"
"Sorry but we have stuff we need to do," Jimmy drawled. "And real life is better than this boring place."
The demon screeched again and leapt towards them. Quickly they jumped away, flanking the monster. Thankfully it was only one but it sure put up a fight. Leliana gained a couple of scratches on her armor before they brought it down, Jimmy slicing it's head clean off. It landed with a sickening thud and rolled away.
"Jimmy!" Jimmy was quickly grabbed and pulled close, Leliana wrapping her arms tightly around her. She smiled softly and patted the bard's back softly.
"I'm glad you are better now," she said. "Do you now how worried I was when you said you didn't know who I was? I felt crushed!"
"I'm sorry," Leliana sighed as she released her. It felt good to breath normal again. "It was the demon. I just, I felt so at peace. I know it sounds like a horrible excuse but-"
"No need," Jimmy said, patting her on the back again as they began to follow the path. "I know what you mean. Lucky me though some guy in armor came and saved me. He brought Alistair and Morrigan with too but now I don't know where they are. Alistair, Morrigan, and I were walking when they suddenly weren't there. The same thing happened when I saved Sten. One moment we were walking and talking and the next he was gone."
"Let's see if we can find our friends and save them."
"Sounds like a plan."
They walked quietly down the path. Jimmy was thinking about what had happened to them all and what was going on. How did they all end up here? The last thing she remembered was Fen warning them not to fall asleep, some creepy demon called a Sloth Demon telling them not to fight, then this place. She knew it was the Fade, Morrigan had verified that, but how exactly did they get here? Was it the work of the demon?
She turned to ask Leliana what she thought only to realize the other woman was gone. For a moment she panicked until she remembered what happened before. Whatever was going on it seemed she had to fix it since everyone was disappearing on her. She hoped they were alright.
The quiet was starting to eat away at her confidence that everything was going to be alright so she resumed the song she had been singing earlier.
"I have these thoughts so often I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
I ponder of something terrifying
Cause this time there is no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One this consist of consistence And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my too deep please stop thinking I liked it better when my car had sound
There are things we could do
But from the things that work
There are only two-"
She froze and stared at the bizarre sight before her. Slowly she turned and looked down the path she walked then looked back at the scene before her. She rubbed her eyes and squinted but the sight stayed the same.
It was the armored guy again but he wasn't alone. Wynne and Zevran walked with him, eyeing the man warily. So far they hadn't noticed her but the armored man guy did. He stopped and stared at her before turning and walking away. She began to yell for him to stop when someone picked her up and spun her around.
"Dammit Zev put me down," she yelped, smacking the elf as he spun her around again. "I'll puke on you if you don't stop!"
"Oh but I was worried about you fearless leader," he said happily, still spinning her around while Wynne shook her head. "My heart was about to break into pieces at the thought of you missing but now it is whole!"
"I'm going to puke on you," she warned, pretending to gag. The elf laughed and set her down, releasing her from his grasp. "But I am glad to see you both are alright. Has anyone seen Fen? So far everyone but Fen has been saved."
"I have not seen the wolf," Wynne sighed. "I'm sorry Jimmy. We must defeat this Sloth Demon so we can return to our world. Maybe he has been freed by that strange man already."
"So he saved you guys too huh?" Both nodded. "I wonder who he is. He isn't some disgruntled demon is he?"
"I do not believe so," Wynne said thoughtfully. "He could be a benevolent spirit though. There are such spirits in the Fade. Perhaps he felt the need to rescue us."
"Let us speak of this later ladies," Zevran drawled. "I would very much like to go home, out of this creepy place. Everything here is so ugly except you two lovely ladies and it's getting depressing."
"Aw don't be depressed Zev," Jimmy chuckled, patting his back. "But you both are right. Let's figure out how to get out of here. I guess we will have to go and pick a fight with that demon to go home huh?"
Wynne nodded and headed down the path, they were only able to go in one direction. It was creepily quiet, not a sound except for their breathing and footsteps. The landscape was ugly as Zevran had said. Everything was bare and depressing. She could almost see demons lurking around behind the small hills and jagged spears of dirt, just waiting for an unsuspecting mage to be snared by their traps. It gave her a new founded respect for mages.
It seemed like forever they walked yet the light in the Fade never changed. For all she knew they had been walking for mere minutes but her body told it had been a long time. The landscape changed only a little, sometimes there were no hills and other times it felt like they were walking through a mountain range. Zevran tried to lighten the mood in his own goofy way but neither Jimmy nor Wynne were interested in his comments.
"Don't pout Zev," she chided when he finally stop and just stared at the path. "It's just far too creepy to joke around. I know you mean well."
"This place is rather depressing," Zevran admitted as they followed Wynne. Somehow the old woman knew where they were going. "I wonder how much longer we need to walk. I really wish we were where ever we are going."
"Well maybe we will be there soon. Hey! Is that armor guy? What's he-" A blinding light surrounded them. Jimmy yelped and covered her eyes that were stinging from the sudden light. The sensation of falling struck her quickly. Just as fast as the light and sensation came they were both gone. SHe laid on her back, wondering when she fell over, when something shook her shoulder.
"Get up Jimmy," she heard Alistair say. "We got some creepy demon to deal with."
"Where the hell?" she began, slowly sitting up and rubbing her eyes. "What just happened?"
"The same thing that happened to me earlier," he said dryly. "And look, our host is here. Maker it's ugly."
"Is everyone here?" she asked, looking around as she stood up. All of her friends were there except for one. She frowned, looking around, when she finally spotted Fen, staring at the Sloth Demon with his hackles raised. "Fen! It's good to see you! Where have you been?"
"Now is not the time Jimmy," he growled, still staring down the demon who stared right back. "We need to defeat this so we can go back to the normal world."
"Stubborn fools," the demon droned. "How dare you cast aside my gifts to you. Surrender and I will make your dreams better. You, elf Warden, were very resistant until I found the perfect dream hidden in your mind. Tell me what was wrong and I will make it better."
"Yeah no," she drawled, drawing her sword and settling her shield on her left arm. "I'd rather be in the real world instead of a dream. More interesting than here."
"Foolish mortals," the demon hissed, rearing up to glare down at them. "You will dread this moment."
A bright light flashed from Fen, causing the Sloth Demon to jerked back with a screech of pain. Wynne and Morrigan moved to the back of the strange room they were in, casting spells at the demon. Sten hacked at it with his sword along with Alistair and herself, Leliana keeping back with the mages to fire arrows at it. Darting around like a bizarre bird Zevran attacked as well. As a team they were doing well, the demon weakening.
The demon had a few tricks of it's own though. Whenever they thought they were about to beat it, it turned into a different demon and attacked. It summoned other demons to try and swarm them, giving it a chance to retreat to a safe distance. Fen kept on the Sloth Demon though, his silvery coat shimmering with a strange light that randomly flared outward. Whatever the light was hurt the demon though. Jimmy heard it scream again with pain while she was busy hacking at some Rage Demons who were taking to swarm her.
Eventually the Sloth Demon grew too weak to summon other demons and changed back into it's original form. Chunks of it were missing, scattered about on the floor while strange reddish brown sludge leaked from it's wounds. Jimmy charged forward, raising her sword above her head. With a yell she brought her sword down on it's head, slicing it in two while Fen latched onto it's throat. The demon gave a final screech before collapsing, it's body melting into a foul smelling puddle.
"Gross," Jimmy muttered as she stepped back. "So we beat it. What now-" Her body jerked suddenly and everything went black.
With a groan she sat up, rubbing her temples while something furry crowded her. She looked up to see Fen hovering beside her, his eyes full of worry. ooking around she realized they were all back in the real world. Everyone was slowly sitting up with grunts and groans. Where the Sloth Demon had been when they entered now held an oozing puddle. Jimmy made a disgusted face as she stood up.
"Calm down Fen," she sighed as he continued to hover around her. "I'm fine and whole and absolutely starving! Why am I so hungry?"
"We were in the Fade for two days," he grunted, nosing her hand. "I was at my wits end when we were sucked into the Fade. A fine job killing the demon though. You made me very proud."
"That's what I do," she drawled, digging some dried meat from her pack and a small hunk of cheese. "Shaving te dah n suff."
"Stop talking with your mouth full," the wolf sighed with a roll of his eyes. "Is everyone alright?"
"My back hurts," Alistair groaned. "Jimmy do you have anymore cheese? Give me some."
"Here," she said, breaking her chunk in half and tossing it to her friend. "Don't say I never give you anything."
"We are almost to the top of the Tower," Wynne said softly. "Just two more floors and we will get to the First Enchanter. He and the others must be held at the top floor."
"Great more walking," Zevran groaned. "Why must mages live in such tall towers? They must be extremely fit having to walk all these stairs."
"Let's get this over with," Morrigan drawled, searching a body that laid a few feet from them. "Ah ha, the Litany. This fool must have tried to fight the Sloth Demon on his own."
"Well let's hurry up," Jimmy sighed, wincing as her body protested. "At least we don't need to sleep anytime soon. Forward charge and all that."
With the Litany in hand they headed down the corridor. Jimmy and Zevran searched the bodies they came across, taking anything of value much to Wynne and Alistair's unhappiness. They could protest all they want but Jimmy knew they needed funds and these people weren't going to be using their stuff anytime soon. She just tuned them out and continued doing what she was doing. The sooner they got the First Enchanter the sooner they all could leave this cursed tower.
Notes: Sigh have I mentioned before how much I dislike the Tower mission? Well I do but I still try my best! I hope you all enjoy this and I know it's not really like the game but it was what I decided to do to add a little MYSTERY OOOO!
The song is Car Radio by Twentyone Pilots and somehow I felt it was the best song for in the fade. All quiet and creepy with very little sound.
As always I only own Jimmy and Fen and their mayhem! The rest belong to Bioware!
Put on some Old Rock n' Roll!
