Supporting the girl, Ella, who was still terrified, Hawke walked towards Merediths office hoping that she would still be there. Angelle was in luck as she saw light coming from her office. Hawke knocked on the door and Cullen answered the door.
"Makers breath! What's going on?"
"There has been an attack on the templars in the tunnels below the Gallows."
Should she tell the truth about Ella? She would likely be punished. Angelle felt a struggle within her. The girl had fled, but only to see her dying mother. What if they made her tranquil? She had already been through so much and after meeting the abomination it was unlikely that she would try again.
"The girl had been dragged down to the tunnels by Ser Alrik. Apparently he wanted to make her tranquil?"
Cullen stepped out in the hallway and called a templar. Cullen asked him to take the girl back to her chambers.
"Who attacked the templars?" Meredith demanded
"I believe it was an abomination. It has killed at least seven templars including Ser Alrik. It escaped into the tunnels before I could give chase. You should be able to catch up if you hurry."
Meredith looked at Cullen and gave him a nod. He ran out the door calling the other templars to follow.
"And how did you get involved in this?"
"I heard unrest from the hallway near my room and decided to find out what was going on."
"Very well, thank you for your assistance."
"Was Ser Alrik under orders to make the girl tranquil?"
"No... He has become very vigilant... a good quality in most templars, but perhaps he was going too far. I don't know what you believe, Hawke, but we do have reasons for turning the mages tranquil."
" I am merely curious, but I will have to report this incident to the Divine. By the way, the girl wanted to see her dying mother and I intend to escort her... with your permission of course."
Meredith gave her a cold glare, but then relaxed.
"As you wish. A templar escort can take you into Kirkwall tomorrow and escort the girl back to the circle after meeting her mother."
"Thank you."
Hawke left the office and walked back to her room. On her way back she almost turned back when she realized she hadn't told them what he looked like. But what could she say, between everything going on only noticed his blonde hair and that wasn't much to go on. He was unlike anything she'd ever seen. She had dealt with demons and abominations before, but he was different. Normally abomination didn't leave room for the host, but this one seemed to. It seemed like to different people. One furious and dangerous the other seemed sensitive. She desperately tried to remember what he looked like. Anything she could describe. "He had brown eyes.". She stopped in her tracks. Of all the things she could have noticed, why in the void would it be his eyes? She was usually better at this. She tried again to remember, but she saw nothing other than those terrified sad eyes. "Great Angelle! We'll just go back to the Knight-commander and say "you are looking for a man with blonde hair and brown eyes, that turns blue when angry". This is so STUPID!" She scolded herself.
As she tried to sleep she wondered what would happen to him. Would they make him tranquil? The only other option was killing him and since you cannot separate a demon from its host it seemed the preferable choice. "Poor man, well nothing to do about it." She turned around cuddling Conna and slowly fell asleep.
