Chapter 5

Mia woke again in an unfamiliar place.

At least she wasn't shackled.

A little elven boy came in carrying clothes. He said, "Oh! I didn't know you were awake, I swear!"

He was a little too scared for her liking. She said, "That's alright, I haven't been awake long."

The boy dropped to the floor and said, "I beg your forgiveness and your blessing. I am but a humble servant. You are back in Haven, my lady." Ah, well this was definitely better than the cells. "They say you saved us. The Breach stopped growing, just like the mark on your hand."

She looked down at her hand, to find out it had indeed stopped growing. It had also stopped hurting. The mark was still there, but it encompassed her palm and nothing more. The little boy said, "It's all anyone has talked about the last three days."

She smiled, "Then the danger is over."

The boy looked taken aback, but he recovered quickly. He said, "The Breach is still in the sky, but that's what they say." He got up. "I'm certain Lady Cassandra would want to know you've wakened. She said at once."

She sighed, "Where is she?"

He said, "In the Chantry, with the Lord Chancellor. At once, she said."

She shook her head as he left. She couldn't be that frightening. She got dressed, and headed towards the Chantry, People were whispering as she passed by. She blocked them out, not needed the headache. She saw the Breach, and was disappointed to find it still there. It was definitely not as menacing as it was before. No streaks of light were raining down. It was just a huge ball in the sky, almost like a second sun.

She heard the arguing as soon as she stepped into the Chantry. The Chancellor was arguing with Cassandra. She walked in, and the Chancellor immediately ordered her chained. Cassandra ordered them to disregard, and leave.

They left.

Mia wasn't surprised at all.

The Chancellor was not happy. They argued a bit more before Mia cut in. She said, "I'm still a suspect, seriously?"

The Chancellor told her that she was, and she could hear the contempt in his voice. Cassandra surprised her when she said that Mia wasn't a suspect. Leliana pointed out that while someone was responsible for the explosion at the conclave, it was someone the Most Holy had not expected. That meant she knew her attacker.

Mia disagreed completely. The Divine had probably never seen the Elder One in her life. There was just no way. The Divine would not have kept it quiet. The Chancellor was aghast at being called a suspect. Cassandra made it clear though, that the Divine had called out to her for help. She was not involved, and there for not a suspect.

She also said that the Maker had sent Mia down to help them. That gave Mia pause. She knew what had brought her here, and it most definitely was not the Maker. She said, "No, he did not."

Cassandra said, "It doesn't matter what you believe. You were sent to us when we needed you."

Leliana said, "The Breach remains, and your mark is still our only hope of closing it."

The Chancellor said, "That is not for you to decide."

Cassandra slammed a book onto the table. She said, "Do you know what this is, Chancellor? A writ from the Divine, granting us the authority to act. As of this moment, I declare the Inquisition reborn. We will close the Breach, we will find those responsible, and we will restore order. With or without your approval."

The Chancellor left without a word. Leliana said, "This is the Divine's directive: Rebuild the Inquisition of old. Find those who will stand against the chaos. We aren't ready. We have no leader, no numbers, and now no Chantry support."

Cassandra said, "We have no choice. We must act now." She looked at Mia. "With you at our side."

Mia was very confused. She had never heard of the Inquisition. There was no mention of it in her history books. There had definitely been no Inquisition when the Elder One was in power. She said, "What is the Inquisition of old?"

Leliana said, "It preceded the Chantry: People who banded together to restore order in a world gone mad."

Cassandra said, "After, they laid down their banner and formed the Templar Order, but the Templar's have lost their way. We need those who can do what must be done, united under a single banner once more."

Mia said, "Aren't you still a part of the Chantry?"

Cassandra scoffed, "Is that what you see?"

Leliana said, "The Chantry will take the time to find a new Divine, and then it will wait for her direction."

Cassandra said, "We cannot wait. So many Grand Clerics died at the Conclave… No, we are on our own. Perhaps forever."

Mia took a moment to think. The Inquisition had not been around according to her history books. That meant she must have changed something. This could be the next step in bringing the Elder One. She already had the power that would have plunged this world into true chaos. She said, "If you're truly trying to restore order…"

Leliana said, "That is the plan."

Cassandra said, "Help us fix this before it's too late." She stuck out her hand, and Mia grabbed it. This felt right, the Inquisition. For the first time since she landed in this time, she finally felt like things were starting to move along.

For the next day, Cassandra, Leliana, another woman and the handsome Commander were making plans. Leliana sent birds to different places. The Commander nailed a missive to the Chantry door. The banners were changed.

It was really happening.

AN: Another short chapter, I know, but I am editing the next one as soon as this one is posted.

My job has unpredictable hours, so I wasn't able to get this chapter out a few days ago like I wanted to.

Enjoy!
