Hey there, Mastergamer here. For those waiting for Dissidia to update, I'm giving poll: should I continue with making the Call to Battle stories after every character story or should I focus on Dissidia and write the Call to Battle stories afterwards? If you choose the latter, then I'll finish up Call to Battle: Bleach and focus on Dissidia. On a side note, if any of you readers out there have an account on Deviantart, then can I ask of you to draw a pic for my One Piece story, more specifically a pic of my OC's that will join the crew in my story. If you agree, then just send me the link to your account in a review and I'll be able to tell you more info. Now, enjoy the story.

Dragon Age: Mage Chronicles

Chapter 1: Revelations

Garrett Hawke was facing off against the man known as Adrian. Just from the man's stance Garrett could tell that he wasn't going to go down easy. Without missing a beat, Garrett charged at Adrian, his staff positioned for a slash. Adrian merely scoffed before quickly dodging the strike. Garrett raised his gauntlet clad hand to block a punch from his opponent. Garrett quickly let out a kick to Adrian's abdomen only for said man to leap away.

"I gotta say, you sure can keep up." spoke Adrian as he stood across from Garrett not even seeming winded, "But I can tell there's still more to you."

"Give me a challenge and I'll show you." Garrett smirked.

Despite his confident exterior, inside Garrett was filled with worry; this Adrian had a lot of strength hidden beneath the surface. It would cost the elder Hawke's life if he were to underestimate his opponent.

Not far from them, Carver Hawke was moving quickly around, avoiding the giant hammer of the mountain of muscle known as Ishi. Carver attacked with his sword after dodging a swing from the hammer. Ishi used his weapon's handle to block the young Hawke's weapon before throwing a right hook at Carver. Carver quickly brought up his shield to block the punch. He was in for a surprise when the fist made contact with the metal surface; Carver was sent flying from the force of the punch and landed twenty feet away. The young templar shook his head clear and looked to his, now sore, shield arm; his was shocked to see a gaping hole in his solid iron shield.

"Maker, what's this guy made of?" yelled the distraught templar.

"HA! Did you really think a shield could work against me!" declared Ishi as he carried his hammer on his shoulder, "Once I'm done there won't be enough of you left to fill a locket!"

Carver panted as he discarded his now useless shield. The physical strength of the brute was unreal; Carver wouldn't doubt that a punch to the head will take off his head. He'll have to rely on his speed and wit to beat this behemoth.

Not far from them sounds of metal meeting metal rang through the air. Isabela was currently attacking and blocking against the robed man called Striker. Said man was utilizing metal claws against Isabela's twin daggers. Sparks flew as each blade struck against or was blocked against the other. Isabela quickly ducked down as one of Striker's claws was almost introduced to her neck. She quickly let out a roundhouse kick to the man's legs to trip him up only for Striker to jump up. Isabela quickly rolled away to avoid the claws that had now impacted the ground where her head was just now. Now a few feet from each other, Isabela stood up to catch her breath as her opponent turned to smirk at her.

"You got moves little girl; it looks like I'll have to put in a little more effort into cutting you to ribbons." Striker proclaimed as he readied himself for another bout with Isabela.

Said pirate merely glared at her opponent as she tried to figure out a way to beat him.

'This guy is quick; it's a lot of work just to counter his attacks. I just need to stop this guy from moving for just a moment.' Isabela thought, but that thought was cut short as she barely dodged a strike that was literally an inch from her face. Turing to her opponent, the pirate gave a glare to a now grinning Striker.

While the six were doing battle with each other, the rest of Garrett's group was watching with tense looks at the three opponents their friends were fighting.

"These three are far from armatures, that much is obvious." stated Varric as he tightened his grip on Bianca.

"Are you sure we shouldn't help them now?" asked Bethany, nervously watching her two brothers fight against those strong thugs.

"They're holding their own for now, we'll jump in if things get out of hand." replied Tallis. Said elf was watching the battle closely; something about Adrian and his cronies was off, but Tallis couldn't figure it out.

Back with Garrett, thrusted his staff at Adrian only for the man to drop to his stomach and sweep Garret's feet from under him. The elder Hawke landed hard on his back and rolled out of the way just as Adrian's heel met the ground where he just was. Garrett got up and glared at his opponent, who stood up and smirk at Garrett. Hawke was getting frustrated at this battle. He then came to a conclusion.

"I didn't want to use this against you, but you've left me no choice." Garrett then started to gather magic into his staff; he didn't use magic against a non-mage if he could help it, but if he could just freeze Adrian in place then he could knock him out and end this.

"Oh? So you're going to show your true potential, this should be good." Adrian mused.

Garrett just glared at the man as he finished gathering magic into his staff. Now cold to the touch, Garrett swung his staff at Adrian.

'Cone of Cold'

From the jeweled tip of his staff, Hawke sent a beam of frost at his opponent. Said man merely smiled at the incoming spell, as though it was an amusing sight for him.

"Magic, huh? You've certainly have talent Hawke." Adrian merely raised his hand towards the incoming ice spell; his smile still on his face, "But you have much to learn about the art."

Right before Adrian would've become an ice cube, the ice spell suddenly dispersed. Adrian lowered his hand and smiled at the now shocked Garrett. And he wasn't the only one.

"D-did he just dispel Hawke's spell?" exclaimed a surprised Merrill.

"He did! Does that mean that this guy's a templar?" inquired Aveline.

"No."

The others turned to Anders; the mage had a hard gaze on his face as he stared at Adrian.

"I've ran into a lot of templars before and seen how they dispel magic. But that wasn't a dispel." explained Anders.

"Then what happened to Hawke's spell?" asked Fenris.

"I don't know, but what I do know is that this Adrian is more than just a mere man." they didn't say anything, but Anders was sure that Bethany and Merrill could feel something strange from Adrian, as well as his two followers.

Back to the fight, Adrian brushed of the frost that landed on his hand before turning to a stunned Garrett.

"I'm sure that if that spell hit I would've been looking at a bad case of frostbite. You have skills Hawke, so let me show you mine," Adrian said before turning towards his two underlings, "Ishi! Striker! It's time to show these guys what we can do!"

Said goons smiled when they heard this.

"Haha! Now the fun begins." exclaimed Ishi before raising his hammer over his head.

"I guess it is time to deal with these people now." Commented Striker as he crossed his arms in front of his face.

Adrian turned to Garrett while spreading out his arms.

"Now, let me show you how real magic is performed."

The wind started to pick up as Adrian moved his hands in a circle, all the while chanting words.

"Winds from the east, west, north, and south converge and bring ruin."

Garrett was barely able to get over his shock to utter a few words.

"Y-You're a mage?"

Adrian just smirked before he thrusted his palms towards the elder Hawke.

"Ripper's Squall"

A silver magic seal appeared in front of Adrian before it released a torrent of wind that shot out and raced towards Garrett. Said mage didn't have time to react before he found his body caught in the gale. Garrett could feel his body being cut from all possible directions by the wind, each cut more painful than the one before.

With Carver and Ishi, the larger man slammed his hammer on the ground.

"Gaia's Pillar"

The moment the hammer made contact with the ground a yellow magic seal appeared on the ground before stone spikes emerged and headed towards Carver. The young Hawke barely had enough time to jump out of the way of the earth spell, though that didn't stop his left arm and leg getting deep gashes from the pillars.

With Isabela and Striker, the robed man swiped his metal claws in front of him.

"Venom's Claw"

Two small, bright purple magic seals appeared over each claw before the claws started to glow purple. Then, in the blink of an eye, Striker was now crouched down on the ground, a few feet behind Isabela. The pirate didn't even have time to turn around before blood burst from her side. Isabela fell to her knees as she stared to feel the claw marks on her side start to burn painfully. She came to the conclusion that she was poisoned when she fell face first into the ground after feeling her strength leave her body.

Back with Garrett and Adrian, the wind mage stared as the elder Hawke was bombarded with constant blades of wind. Adrian lifted his land and stopped the wind torrent. He watched in amusement as Hawke's body landed hard on the ground.

"Now that is a real spell." Adrian smugly said.

He was making his way to the groaning man on the ground when a dagger whizzed past the side of his face. Turning around, Adrian saw the others that were with Hawke glaring at him and his underlings darkly; the red haired woman with the pointed ears drew another dagger from her pouch.

"Stay away from him." threatened Tallis.

Adrian merely chuckled at this.

"Hmph, it looks like I have to get rid of more trash." The wind mage said to himself before raising his arms and releasing a spell.

"Ripper's Squall"

Form the silver seal that appeared, another torrent of wind was released, this time it was aimed at Garrett's friends. This torrent wasn't as powerful as the one before, but it had just enough kick to knock everyone of their feet and hit the ground hard. It also had enough power make sure they didn't get up.

Adrian smirked at the now groaning people on the ground before turning to his goons.

"Ishi! Striker! They've learned their lessons, let's head back now, I in the mood for a nap right about now." And with that, he turned and started to walk away.

"Ha, right boss." said Ishi. The large man followed his boss, leaving a downed Carver to hold his bleeding arm on the ground.

"I was getting a little bored with this." Striker then move to follow his comrades. He didn't even spare a glance to the now unconscious pirate captain on the ground.

As the three were leaving they didn't notice, or most likely cared, that Bethany was still on her feet, stunned at what transpired. When Adrian and his lackeys revealed that they were mages, Bethany was stunned at the power behind their spells. It was because of this that she didn't attack with the others and thus was the only one still standing and unharmed. She was snapped out of her stunned daze when she heard her elder brother moan in pain. She knelt down beside him and almost flinched at the cuts that covered his body. She looked around the street to see her friends were in similar states; her twin on the ground with his left limbs bleeding, Isabela out cold from a poison, and the others on the ground in pain from that strong wind spell. Bethany quickly got to healing her brother's injuries. As she healed her brother's cuts one thought rose to her mind.

'Where ever we are, we are out of our league.'

A few miles away from the village, five people were traveling on a dirt road. Out in front of the group was a pink-haired teen wearing a white, scaled scarff, who looked to be bored out of his mind. On top of the back pack he was wearing there seemed to be a slumbering blue cat with a small green pack tied around its neck. Behind the pink-haired teen was another male about the same age with black hair. This guy was keeping his eyes on the road and thus didn't notice the longing stares he was receiving from behind. The one who was sending the boy the loving looks was a girl with long and wavy blue hair who seemed to have all her attention on the black-haired teen in front of her. The last person of the group was a girl with short silver hair walking at the back. She had a shy look on her face and had her gaze on the ground. All four teens and feline had a wing like mark on their bodies.

"Are we there yet, I'm starting to get hungry!" exclaimed the pink-haired boy.

"Quit complaining. We still have a ways to go before we get to the guild, so just keep your big mouth shut, Flamebrain" berated the black-haired teen.

The other boy would've argued back at the other, but his hunger caused him to just let it go and keep walking.

"Um, the map said that there is a town up ahead. We can rest there for a while." spoke the silver-haired girl quietly. This comment seems to have given the pink-haired teen.

"All right! Let's go and get some food!" was what he said before he speed of down the road.

"Wait up you idiot!" yelled the black-haired teen as he ran after the other male.

The blue-haired girl ran after the black-haired boy with hearts in her eyes. The silver-haired girl sputtered in surprise before running after the group, frantically calling for the others to wait up.

Garrett wearily opened his eyes to a wooden ceiling. Sitting up in the bed he was on was a challenge as his body protested with dull pain coming from the now bandaged wounds on his body. Looking around the room he was in he saw his sister, Isabela, and Anders sleeping in chairs near his bed, the latter two had bandages on them, though not as many as Garrett had.

As Garrett looked at the three people sleeping in the room his mind went back to what happened before.

Adrian and his underlings were mages, powerful ones at that. They didn't even look like mages or channeled their magic through staves. They also openly threatened a civilian in broad daylight. If this town had a chantry, one would think that a templar or two would've came to try to put down the three mages. And the spells they used were unknown to him and completely different to the magic he uses and seen in his life. Adrian barely broke a sweat dealing with him and Garrett's pride was in shambles. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard his sister waking up from her sleep. Bethany instantly waking up when she saw her brother sitting up in bed.

"Garrett, you're awake!" she cried before enveloping the older Hawke in a hug. She quickly let go when Garrett let out a gasp of pain.

"I'm sorry!"

"That's all right, I've grown used to physical pain by now." replied Garrett, "Where are we?"

"We're in the town's inn. The man that we helped happened to own this place." answered Bethany, "He's alright by the way, he helped me take you and the others here to tend to your injuries."

Hearing those words dampened Garrett's spirit a bit. He looked down at his bandaged body and could only remember being soundly beaten by Adrian. Bethany noticed his expression and decided to take his mind off things.

"The others are downstairs eating the meal the innkeeper offered us, we should go down and tell the others you're alright."

Her brother merely nodded at the idea. A few minutes later, after getting dressed and waking up Anders and Isabela, the four of them made their way down to the inn's lobby. They saw the rest of the group sitting at a table, already finished their meals while leaving some for the four that just arrived. The group looked up and saw Garrett and the others stopping at their table.

"Hawke, you're awake!" announced a relieved Merrill.

Garrett took a quick look over his friends; Varric, Aveline, Fenris, Tallis, Sebastian, and Merrill had some bandages covering parts of their bodies while Carver had the most bandages wrapped heavily around his left forearm and leg. Guilt ran through his body as he and the other three sat down, "Are all of you alright?"

"Just a few scratches that'll itch for a while, but nothing to worry about, although junior won't be doing any heavy lifting for a while." replied Varric.

"Just this once I'll admit that we were outmatched this time." said Carver, broken pride obvious in his voice.

"Those three… I didn't think they'd be mages, they didn't look like any mages I've seen, especially that mountain of muscle." replied Tallis.

"And the magic they used, I've never seen any magic like it, not even during my time in the grey wardens." proclaimed a solemn Anders. Hearing this from a former grey warden just dampened their spirits more.

A voice then called out to them.

"Oh, I see you're all here."

Turning around, the group saw the innkeeper, looking at them with a grateful expression.

"Oh it's you. Thank you for letting us stay here to rest." Bethany politely replied.

"Oh, it's the least I can do; if you people didn't show up Adrian and his goons would have made more damage to the town." he stated.

"It doesn't feel like we helped at all." stated a depressed Merrill.

"Well, Adrian is a strong mage, you're lucky he decided to go back to his hideout." The Innkeeper joked, but he flinched when he saw the group slump in depression. Then a question was asked that was on the group's mind.

"What I don't get is that why is mage like Adrian allowed to push around the people of this town." asked Sebastian.

"Well, our town is pretty secluded and off the beaten path, so I wouldn't be surprised if the people of this town are the only ones that know that Adrian is here." replied the old man, "That, and Adrian is very powerful and a bit scary. I mean he did used to be a part of Sabertooth after all."

That last part got the groups attention.

"Sabertooth, what's that?" asked Tallis.

The Innkeeper looked at them as if he saw darkspawn chewing on their heads.

"You people don't know what Sabertooth is?" he asked.

"Well, we're, apparently, from far away and don't have much knowledge of this land." answered Aveline, remembering how they were dropped in an unknown forest with no idea where they are.

"Huh, this is the first time I've heard of travelers accidentally wandering into another country," joked the Innkeeper, "Very well, I'll try to explain how things are done in Fiore."

They were definitely not in Thedas considering that there was no country named Fiore in Thedas.

"The town you're in is called Loki's Den; a small village residing in the kingdom of Fiore. As for what Sabertooth is, it is, or was, Fiore's strongest mage guild."

"Mage guild, I've never heard of that?" replied Bethany.

"Really? From your brother's fight with Adrian and Your healing I would have thought you two were mages; how do you not know what a mage guild is."

The group was even interested in what the man had to say now. Deciding to keep quiet about how they got here, Garrett decided to bluff a bit.

"Like we said, we're from very far away and we don't have these mage guilds from where we're from."

"Huh, I guess that makes sense." replied the Innkeeper, none the wiser to the group's actual arrival in town, "Well, a mage guild is simply a gathering of mages who are paid to perform tasks and quests for the people of Fiore."

"Tasks and quests?" asked Carver.

"Yes, they can range from looking for a person's lost possession to escorting a person of importance to even driving off bandits that are terrorizing a town. There are many guilds that take on many jobs that require their magical talents to accomplish."

From what they gather, in this country mages come together and form task guilds and do odd jobs for money. This was not at all what mages do in Thedas; mages just stay locked up in Circles of magi, cut off from the outside world.

"This place just let mages run around on their own; shouldn't there be templars watching them, making sure they stay in line." said Fenris, all he could gather from what was said was that mages were let loose without anyone keeping them on a short leash, unbound mages was just asking for trouble in the elf's mind.

"I don't know what a templar is, but all the mage guilds are approved, organized, and watched over by the magic council." answered the Innkeeper.

"Magic council?" hearing this peaked Anders' interest.

"The magic council enforces rules over the guilds to uphold lawful employment of Mages and other forms of employment while making sure they do not cause trouble. If any problem arises that is connected to magic in any way, then that problem falls under council jurisdiction."

"So, basically, anything relating to magic is the sole business of the magic council?" asked Bethany.

"Yes. If it were a simple incursion of bandits, then nothing more than a request sent to a guild would suffice. But, if a dark guild were involved, then the council will take action."

"Dark guild?" even Varric knew that those words meant trouble.

"A dark guild is basically a rouge mage guild that is treated as a criminal organization by the council. Dark guilds take on illegal tasks, such as assassination, smuggling, and espionage. Because of that they are no longer recognized as legal guilds by the council and thus are treated as criminals."

This piece of information didn't bode well for the group. Hearing that there are mages that act no better than hired mercenaries made them weary of what they would run into in this new land that they found themselves in. Garrett asked the Innkeeper on last question.

"You said that Adrian used a part of this Sabertooth guild, what do you mean by that?"

"Adrian was once a part of the Sabertooth guild. It was only two years ago that the council found out that Adrian was taking on illegal assassination jobs, so he was branded a dark mage and a criminal and kicked out of Sabertooth. He evaded the council's forces and, after gathering a group of dark mages, ended up here and took over the town." The last part was spoken with sadness clear in the old man's voice, "Adrian takes almost all the food we grow and the medicine we make and he imposes high taxes that are leaving the townspeople without anything to their name."

"That's terrible. Why don't you people get help." asked Aveline, now even more disgusted at Adrian than before.

"Like I said, Loki's Den is an isolated village and Adrian makes sure that none of us tell of what's going on and that any traveler passing by is none the wiser to this town's plight." It seemed like the more he talked the more depressed the Innkeeper became.

The group was sympathetic to the man's sorrow; to have your home taken over by a despicable man and not being able to call for help is not something one can take lightly.

Garrett was going over all that was said; they were apparently in another country where they met a man that had this village by its throat. The people here were suffering at Adrian's hand. Not only that, Adrian wiped the floor with him and his friends without even a first thought. Adrian needed to go down. Garrett stood up a got the attention of the others.

"You said that anything magic related is a mage's business, right?" he asked.

"T-that's putting it simply." answered the Innkeeper.

"Well, Adrian's a mage and so am I," Garrett looked up and everyone could see the resolved look that appeared on his face, "With that reasoning, Adrian is gonna fall by my hand."

To Be Continued...

And there is the second chapter in the Arrival Arc. Now Hawke that and his friends know how things work in Fiore, they're now going to get a second shot at Adrian. I hope you guys liked it.
