Hey everyone, I am back with another chapter to The Coulsand story. I left off with Kenshin and Alistair being on the attack and Kenshin saved Alistair's life by taking an arrow to the chest. I am going to bring Leliana into this as well because I keep getting PM question on when will I put leliana back in this story.
enjoy :)
Meet again in Lothering
=== Leliana ====
Leliana was walking around Lothering and she was wearing her Chantry robes. She was tending to the gardens and she saw some of her brothers and sisters gossiping about something and she use her skills to listen to them.
"Have you heard about Highever castle being attacked up in the North?"
"No, what happened?"
"Apparently, it was burn to the ground and those that survive the assault is here in Lothering."
"Who own the castle?"
"Some rich noblemen that called themselves 'Cousland' I heard that they have shield that symbol their home.'
Leliana wanted to get some answer because she looked at her hand for a moment because she still had the money that Kenshin gave to her in Denerim. She started to looked around the village to find some survivors from Cousland Castle and she noticed that a person that had a shield of the Cousland family crest. She walked up to the man and she tapped him on his shoulders.
"I am sorry to bother you, but might you be from the Cousland family of Highever." said Leliana
"Yes, I am. I am heading to the free matches to find a new life."
"Could you answer some questions. I have a friend that gave me this gold and I wanted to pay him back for what he did for me. Can you tell me what happen at the castle." said Leliana
"Well, I was able to escape the slaughtered, but my lord and lady Cousland had died to protect our homeland."
'What their heirs have they escape as well?" asked Leliana
"I am sorry but, their youngest son was killed in his sleep while their eldest son was away."
Leliana was shocked to hear that Kenshin was killed at the castle. The man noticed that she was heartbroken and he knew that she need someone to comfort her. He hugged her and he knew that it was hard for him to handle because he was upset.
"I am sorry sister, I hope the Maker will guide them home."
The man started to leave the village to head to the free marches. Leliana headed to the Chantry to find a quiet room. She collapse to her knees and cried to herself and she felt a soft hand touch her right shoulder. Leliana looked up to see the Revered mother standing over her and she had a confused looked on her face.
"What is wrong, Leliana?" asked the Revered Mother.
"Forgive me, your Revisit. I am just sad that I lost someone that was dear to me. I want to see him again and thank him for his help. He died in his homeland." said Leliana
"He is with the Maker now. If I was you, I would visit his homeland and pay my respect." said Revered Mother.
Leliana wipe away her tears and the Revered mother helped her to her feet. Leliana place the money in her bag and she knew that it was going to take a while for her to leave Lothering. She knew that she had to wait for someone that she had a dream about.
=== The Wild ===
Kenshin had woke up from the sunlight on his face, but he noticed that he wasn't on the tower. He was about to get up, but the pain shot through his ribs and he lay back down. He placed his hand on his face and he noticed that his mask was gone. He looked around the strange hut that he was in and he saw the woman that he saw earlier when he came into the Wilds. Morrigan turned around to see that kenshin was awake and she had his mask in her hand. She was looking at the craftsmanship on the mask.
"Ah... I see that you are finally awake. Mother would be please." said Morrigan
"Err... yes, where am I?" asked Kenshin
"Back in the Wilds of course. I am Morrigan less you have forgotten and I have bandage your wounds which you are welcome." said Morrigan.
Morrigan helped him to sit up and she use her healing magic to ease the pain in his ribcage. Kenshin knew that this was something that he wasn't aware of and he looked at her for a moment. Once Morrigan was done, she handed him his mask back to him. She was curious about the mask for a moment and she looked at him, but Kenshin didn't looked back at her.
"Tell me, why would hide your identify from people?" asked Morrigan.
"Well, I have an alternate ego and he wanted to help me avenge my family. He is a good friend and I have trusted him for years. When I was little, he was my imaginary friend and everyone thought that I was crazy or ill because I was talking to myself." said Kenshin.
Morrigan listen to the whole story about him and Raven. She was impressed that he was about to talk about himself to someone that he never knew about. Kenshin knew that Morrigan would never tell anyone that he was alive. She handed him his mask back to him. Then she stood up to see that she was wasting his time and she knew that she needed to tell him.
"So, what happened to the tower." said Kenshin.
"The man that was suppose to respond to your signal, had left the battlefield. Many warriors was slaughtered." said Morrigan.
Kenshin was happy that he had gotten his horse out of Ostagar and he had a smile on his face. Morrigan knew something was off about him and she knew that he had something that was precious to him. He was also upset that Loghan had betray the king.
"So, how did I get here." said Kenshin
"Mother save you and your friend. Though, he is having a hard time to accept the matter is one thing. Anyway, mother wants to see you when you a woke." said Morrigan.
Then got dressed and he place his swords in their sheathed and he place it on his side. He looked at the mask for a moment and he put it back on his face. He close his eyes and reopen them, but he was not himself anymore. He was now his best friend Raven.
"Thank you for all you done, morrigan." said Raven.
"I- you are welcome. But mother did most of the work which I am no healer." said Morrigan.
"Nonsense, you have great skills as a healer." said Raven. "I must go."
"I'll stay and make something to eat." said Morrigan.
Raven left the hut and he noticed the war hound was excited to see his master alive and well. Raven petted the hound and he looked at the old woman that he saw earlier. She noticed that he was able to move about and Raven saw that Alistair had his back turn from him. He knew that Morrigan was right about him being in grief.
"See, here is your fellow Grey Warden. You worry too much young man."
Alistair turned around to see that Raven was alive and well, but he had a sad looked on his face because he had a hard time to get over the lost of everyone that he knew. Raven knew that Duncan was a good man and so was the rest of the grey wardens. Raven knew that both him and Alistair are the last of the order.
"You, you're alive. I thought you were dead for sure." said Alistair.
"Afraid that you can't stopped the blight without me." said Raven.
Alistair knew that he was going to be counting on Raven to fight the darkspawn. He still was trying to wrap his heads around of all the lost soldiers at Ostgar. Raven knew that he wasn't going to let go of all this and he looked at the sky for a moment. He knew that if it wasn't for Morrigan's mother, he would have joined his family.
"All of this doesn't seem real. If it wasn't for Morrigan's mother, we would have been dead on that tower." said Alistair
"Don't talk about when I am not present, lad."
"I-I-I didn't mean. What do we call you? You've never told us your name." said Alistair
Raven knew that Alistair was about Morrigan's mother because she didn't tell them her name. The women knew that it was time for her to give them her true name. Raven knew of the legend of the witch of the wilds and he could have guess her name is. He just didn't want to act on it because he never believe in the stories that he was told about when he was little.
"Names are pretty, but unless. The chastened folk called me Flemeth." said Flemeth
"Flemeth? From the legends? Daveth was right, you are the witch of the wilds, aren't you." said Alistair
Raven just looked at her and he knew that his thoughts was right about her the moment he met her. Flemeth knew that they both was shocked that she had saved their life on the tower. Raven knelt before Flemeth and he knew that the Dalish elves told him.
"I am honor to meet the great Asha'belannar." said Raven
Flemeth knew that it was a custom for her to honor by someone that know of her. Alistair was looking at Raven to see that he was worshiping a woman that he never met. Flemeth told him to rise and he did as he was told and he stood at attention.
"I don't think that you should be bowing to her." said Alistair
"I may be old, and I know a bit of magic and it has serve you both well, has it not." said Flemeth.
"But why did you save us?" said Raven
"I couldn't have all the Grey Warden and we need someone to deals with the darkspawns and because it was the Grey Wardens duty to unite the lands against the blight or everything charge for the last couple of years." said Flemeth.
"The lands is hardly united, thanks to Loghain." said Raven
"That doesn't make sense, why would he do it." said Alistair.
"Now that is a good question. Men's hearts holds shadow darken than any tainted creatures. Perhaps, he believed that the Blight is an army that he can out maneuver or perhaps he doesn't see the evil behind it is the true threat." said Flemeth.
"The Archdemon." said Alistair
Raven knew that it was a demon of the world and he had never seen the Archdemon before, but he seen it in the vision that had during his joining. He had a lot of question about the joining and a lot question about the true secrets of Grey Wardens. Flemeth could sense his thoughts was running wild and she knew that all the question about everything.
"We should contact the rest of the Grey Wardens." said Raven.
"Cailan had already summon them. They'll come if they can, but I expect that Loghain had taking steps to stop them. We assume that they won't arrive in time." said Alistair.
Then Raven knew that they have already lost hope, but Raven was thinking at the moment. He had just came up with an idea and he knew that it was a long shot for them. Alistair knew that Loghain wanted Cailan out of the way for some reason.
"What could the teyrn hope to gain by betraying the king?" said Raven
"The throne, but he is the queen's father after all. Still, I can't see how he'll get away with murdered." said Alistair
Both Raven and Flemeth knew that he was slow and they both knew about that it how people gain the throne. Flemeth just shook her head at the man in front of her. Raven just looked at Alistair with a serious look on his face. He knew that this wasn't getting them no where.
"You speak as if he was the first to become king, grow up boy." said Flemeth
"If Arl Eamon knew what he did, he would never stand for this, the landsmeet wouldn't stand for this. There will be Civil war. He is Cailan's uncle and he still have all his men at Redcliff." said Alistair as a though just crossed his mind and he realized that Eamon had his troops at Redcliff. "Of course, we can go to Redcliff and appeal to him for help."
"I was wondering about the treaties that Flemeth gave us." said Raven
"See, now that is smart lad." said Flemeth
"Of course, the treaties, Grey Wardens can demand aid from Dwarfs, Elves, Mages, and other places. They're obliged to help us during the Blight." said Alistair.
"I may be old, but Dwarf, elves, Mages, and this Arl Eamon, they look like an army to me." said Flemeth
Raven knew that this was a good idea for them to collect a lot people to help them with the Blight, but he knew that they can't find these races without help. He knew that they was going to need a team to help them find an army to fight the Blight. Alistair was looking at him for a moment and Flemeth knew that it was going to be hard for them.
"So can we do this, go to these places and build an army?" said Alistair
"I doubt that it will be as easy as that." said Raven
"Hahaha and when it ever been." said Flemeth.
"It's always been the Grey Warden's duty to stand against the Blight and right now we're the Grey Warden." said Alistair.
Raven was impressed that Alistair had shown some back bone. He was ready to be a Grey Warden as well and he knew that it was destined for him to help the land against the darkspawn and the blight. He knew the reason that his parents had send him to Ostagar not only to safe out of Arl Howe's hands. He was going to be the vanguard to help unite the lands together.
"Then you two are ready to be real Grey Wardens." said Flemeth.
"Yes, thank you for everything, Flemeth." said Raven.
"No, no, thank you. You are Grey Wardens here, not me. Now, before you go, there yet one more thing that I can offer you." said Flemeth
Then Morrigan came out of the hut and she seem to be cooking something. Raven could tell that Flemeth was going to send her with them. Morrigan was wondering that if Raven was going to be join her and her mother. Alistair didn't like the idea that Flemeth was going to offer them her daughter to join them on their journey. Fang just wag his tail because he was excited to smell some food.
"The stew is boiling, mother. Are we going to have two guest for the even or none." said Morrigan
"The Grey Wardens are leaving shortly, girl. And you will be going with them." said Flemeth.
"Such a shame. WHAT!" said Morrigan.
"You heard me, girl. Last time I look, you had ear." said Flemeth.
Raven knew that it was going to be the first step in forming a team of their own. He was going to need help from everywhere. Alistair knew that he didn't like the idea of having Morrigan with them and he knew that she was daughter of the witch of the wilds.
"Thank you, but if Morrigan doesn't want to join us. Then who am I trying to separate her from her mother. It has to be her choice, not mine." said Raven.
"Don't be silly, I know that her magic will come in handy and even better, she knows the wilds and how to get pass the horde." said Flemeth
Raven knew to not argue with the legendary witch of the wild and he knew that Alistair didn't like her. Morrigan was getting upset that she was be force to leave the wilds. She didn't like the idea of travel with people that she didn't know or trust. Raven noticed that it was going to be hard for her to leave a place that she was raise and he knows what feel like to leave something precious behind.
"Have I no saying into this." said Morrigan.
"You have been itching to get out of the Wilds for years. Here is your chance and as for you Grey Wardens, consider this a repayment for your lives." said Flemeth
"Very well, we'll take her with us." said Raven
Alistair knew that this was going to be a challenge for the both of them because the people think she is a blood mage. They'll be hunted down because of that and Raven knew that Alistair would be against it, but he wasn't going to turn away help that is being offer.
"Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but won't this add to our problem. Out of the Wilds, she is an apostate." said Alistair.
"If you are going to need help from us 'Illegal mages,' young man. Perhaps, I should have left you on that tower." said Flemeth
"Point taken." said Alistair
"I like the idea because we need all the help that we can get, Alistair." said Raven
"Mother, this is not how I wanted this. I not even ready." said Morrigan.
Raven could tell that she was sad inside. Flemeth knew that she was giving up something that it precious to her and she knew that Morrigan had been getting strong and she need to use her magic to fight the blight. Fang started to scratching his ear. Raven just looked at the loyal war hound and he knew that this was going be the four of them.
"You must be ready. Alone, these two must untie Ferelden against the darkspawn. They need you, Morrigan. Without you, they will surely fail and all will perish, even I." said Flemeth
The thought about Morrigan losing her mother had hit her pretty hard and Raven knew that she wasn't going to argue with her mother any longer. She knew that she couldn't win this and she was going have to suck it up and help Raven and Alistair in collecting an army to fight the blight.
"I... understand." said Morrigan.
Flemeth looked at both Raven and Alistair for a moment and she knew that she was sending her daughter with them. She knew that they was going to need to watch her back and to keep her safe from Templars. Raven knew that he cannot crossed the Witch of the Wilds or she would kill him and Alistair.
"And you, Wardens, do you understand that I give that I value most above all in this world. I do this because you must succeed." said Flemeth.
Raven kneel before Flemeth and he had a dagger in his hand. He cut his hand and blood started dripping off his hand. "I swear to you, Flemeth, on this blood promise that nothing will happened to Morrigan." said Raven.
"Ah, a blood promise from a man that was rise in Noble estates. That is something I've never seen before." said Flemeth.
"Then allow me to gather my thing and we be on our way." said Morrigan.
They waited for a few minutes and Raven was petting Fang. Fang was getting excited that he was getting attention. He was tossing him a stick and Fang brought it back to him. Then Morrigan came out of the hut and she had all of her stuff that she need for the journey. She was wearing a black hawk made outfit and she knew that it show her bra. Alistair was trying not to stare and Raven didn't noticed that she had change cloths.
"I am at your disposal, Grey Wardens. I suggest a village north from the Wilds as your first destination. It's not far and you'll find much you need or you would prefer me as your silent guide" said Morrigan
"No, I prefer you to speak your mind." said Raven
Flemeth started laughing because she knew that it was hard for her to get Morrigan to shut up. Alistair didn't like that laugh of hers because he fear that something was about to happened when Raven says that. Morrigan looked at her mother for a moment and she had ugly look on her face. Raven was confuse at first and he just knew that this wasn't going to be good.
"You'll regret saying that." said Flemeth.
"Dear sweet mother, you are so kind to cast me out like this. How fondly I will remember this moment." said Morrigan
"Like I always say, 'if you want something done, do it yourself,' or heard about it for a decade or two afterwards." said Flemeth.
Alistair just had second thoughts about have Morrigan with them. He knew that this was going to cause them trouble, but Raven knew that this was the only way to form their own team. Raven just looked at him and Raven knew that they need to get pass the horde of the Darkspawn.
"I just... do you really want to take just because her mother say so." said Alistair.
"We need all the help that we can get. Either suck it up, or fight the darkspawns on your own." said Raven.
"I guess you're right. Grey Wardens has always taken allies where they can find them." said Alistair.
"I am so pleases to have your approval." said Morrigan.
"Well, I think we should just get underway." said Raven
Alistair sallow his pride and accept the fact that Morrigan is part of this journey. He knew that this was only way to get pass the darkspawn horde. Morrigan knew that this was going to be the last time for her to see the hut and her mother. Flemeth knew that they was to need something to help them travel and she knew that they need ride like the wind.
"Before you go, I have one more thing to give the each of you." said Flemeth.
Flemeth whistle something and Raven heard horses coming towards the hut, but he noticed that one of horse was his loyal friend Terra. She recognize her master and she walked up to him and hugged him. Raven knew that he would see her again and Flemeth was smiling at the sight of the reunion. Raven petted his horse and Alistair just looked at him, but Morrigan just smiled at Raven.
"How did you find her?" said Raven
"She was running through my Wilds and she thought that her master was dead and I took care of her." said Flemeth.
"Thank you, Flemeth." said Raven.
Raven got on Terra and he knew that this was going to be great to travel his loyal pets once again. Morrigan got on the other horse and so did Alistair. Morrigan told them about the village to the north of the Wilds and she looked at her mother for a moment and she was going to miss her, but Raven just looked at her. He knew that Morrigan needs to say her goodbye to Flemeth.
"Farewell mother, don't forget about the stew on the fire. I would hate to return to a burn down hut." said Morrigan
"Bah... Tis far more likely you will return to see this entire area along with my hut sallow by the blight." said Flemeth
"I... A-All I meant was-" said Morrigan.
"I know child. Do try have fun dear." said Flemeth.
Then they all started to ride out of the wilds and Raven knew that this was good to have his horse back with him. They was making their way toward the village to the north. They was riding through the night and they made it to the village by daybreak.
===Denerim===
Loghain was issuing the landsmeet and he was now the new ruler of Denerim. He was trying to unite the lands under his rule because he believed that the Grey Wardens was the enemy not the Darkspawns. He told everyone that the Grey Wardens was the ones that killed their king. Some of the people doesn't believe him that the Grey wardens was not the reason for the king's death.
"And I expected each of you supply these men. We must rebuild what we lost at Ostagar and quickly." said Loghain "There are those that would the advantage of our weaken state if we let them. We must defeat this Darkspawn horde. but we do so sensibly and without hesitation." said Loghain
"Your lordship, if I might speak." said Teagan. "You have declare yourself queen Nora's regent and claim that we should unite under your banner for our own good. But what of the army lost at Ostagar, your withdrawal was most... fortuitous."
Loghain was getting upset that Teagan was denying him the right to have Redcliff to united under his rule and Teagan knew that there was still some Grey Wardens that might know the truth about the Loghain's retreating. Anora was looking at him and she knew that something wasn't right about all of this because she was still grief over the lost of her husband.
"Everything I have done has been to secure Ferelden's independence. I have not shirk my duty to the throne, and neither any of you!" said Loghain
"The Bannorn will not bow to you simplify demand it!" said Teagan
"Understand this, I will brook no threat to this nation... from you or anyone!" said Loghain
Teagan just knew that Loghain just want to gain power to rule these lands. He knew that this was going to be the start of a Civil war. There was a young woman that was standing next to him and she fear that Redcliff was going to try and fight Denerim.
"Bann Teagan, please!" said Anora
"Your majesty, your father risks civil war. If Eamon was here..." said Teagan
"Bann Teagan, my father is doing what is best." said Anora
"Did he also do what was best to your husband, your Majesty?" said Teagan.
That hit her hard because she had question about the battle at Ostagar and she knew that this was going to be hard to think about. She left the room to think on this and her servants escorted her to her room. Teagan knew that he needed to head back to Redcliff and prepare for war with Loghain's men.
=== Lothering ===
Raven noticed that this village was surround by people that wanted to get away from the Blight. They was refugees, but he could feel their lost. He saw a group of bandits that was blocking their path into the village and he knew that they was going to cause them trouble. Raven could tell that these men was robbing from these innocent people and he was going to put a stop to this once and for all.
"Wake up, gentlemen. More travelers to attend to. I am guessing this guy is the leader."
"Err... they don't look much like them others, you know. Uh... maybe we should let these ones pass..."
"Nonsense. Greeting Travelers might I-"
Raven punched the bandit in the face and his men helped him up. Morrigan just smiled at Raven because she knew that he didn't want to waste anytime to pick a fight. Alistair noticed that these bandits had been robbing people when they arrive to the village. The bandits was getting ready to fight them, but the leader just waved them to stand their ground.
"No, no, no, he get that one freebies. I was just testing him and that he was going to lend a his strength."
"Oh really, I can try it again." said Raven
"Just give twenty silver and we let you pass."
Then Raven punch him again and this time was really hard that he could hear his bone break. The leader just looked at Raven and he saw that Raven was looking down at him. The bandits knew that they weren't talking to a normal refugee and they was getting ready for a fight. Raven reach for his sword and Alistair was looking at Raven.
"Kill that bastard."
Raven unsheathed his sword and he started cutting down some of the bandits. Alistair stepped in to assist Raven and Morrigan started using her magic to kill them. Raven cut some of the heads off while Alistair was trying to use some of his old life training to good uses. Most of the bandits was killed and the leader was scare to see that his men was killed Raven and the others.
"Please, I don't mean you no harm. I am just a merchant and I am trying to make a living with all the darkspawns about."
"I am not going to fall for your tricks, bandit. Your kind had pledge these lands for too long. I am your executioner and I want to see you answer for your crimes." said Raven
"I am not going down without a fight."
The leader was about to attack Raven, but Raven use his cousland sword style to cut the leaders head clean off. Alistair just looked at him and he was impressed to see that he had two swords in one.
"Where did you learn that sword trick." said Alistair
"I have been taught by the lord of Highever." said Raven
"Well, we are here. Lothering, pretty as a painting." said Alistair
"Oh, so you have finally rejoin us, but fallen on your sword with grief wasn't enough." said Morrigan
"Is my sorrow are too hard to consider you. What if your mother dies?" said Alistair
"I am thinking between before or after I stop laughing." said Morrigan.
"He does have a point, Morrigan. But Alistair, you need to move on with this. I going to need you to stay focus. We have an army to collect." said Raven
"Right, have you look at the treaties." said Alistair.
"Yes, where do we go first." said Raven.
"Well, there are the Dalish Elves, Dwarven of Orzammar, and the Circle of Magi. I've still think that Arl Eamon will be the best bet to receive help. I think Redcliff should be our first stop." said Alistair
"Okay, but we need to collect on items and weapons." said Raven
They started walking into the village and Raven noticed a lot of people that was trying to find a place to sleep. Raven saw a family elves and he noticed that they was sad. He stopped for a moment to help them out because Raven knew that Kenshin had cared more about the elves since he was little.
"Hello, what's wrong." said Raven
"Please, do you might have some bread. We are hungry and we have been robbed by those bandits."
"Do you mean those bandits that was blocking the entrance to the village." said Raven
"Yes, did you get rob as well."
"No, I killed them and they will not harm anyone else ever again." said Raven
"You mean... you killed them."
"Yes, I think that there was some stuff that might belong to you and everyone else." said Raven
The elves was smiling at Raven and they saw nothing for a human that had a kind heart. Raven handed them some silver to get them by and Raven started walking again. There was a Templar that was standing about and he noticed Morrigan for a moment.
"You there, mage."
"I hope that you are not talking to me?" said Morrigan
"Why are you not at the circle of Magi."
"That is because she is a Grey Warden. We are looking for recruits here." said Raven
The Templar looked at him and he knew that he had no authority to arrest Morrigan especially to the Grey Wardens. He stepped aside to let them through and Morrigan just wave to him. Raven knew that this was going to hard to keep these Templars off of them.
"Hey Alistair, why don't you look around to find a merchant while me and Morrigan tried to find a place to rest for tonight." said Raven
"Okay." said Alistair
They started to separate to find what they need. Raven and Morrigan went to find an Inn for them to rest while Alistair went to go find a merchant to buy some items. Raven notice a tavern and he knew that it might have some rooms for them to rest for tonight. There was a man that was standing outside of the tavern and he wasn't happy.
"What's wrong." said Raven
"Are you looking to stay, the tavern are full for the rest of the night."
"Why?" said Raven
"Well, teyrn loghain took the rest of his men north to Denerim leaving us without protection and he left us with some soldiers that are looking for two Grey Wardens that kill the King."
"What did you just say?" said Raven
"About the Grey Wardens killing the King."
"Yes, what do you mean that Grey warden killed the King." said Raven
The man was explaining to them that Loghain had placed a bounty on their heads for killing the King. Alistair was looking for the merchant to buy the equipment for them, but he noticed a bounty wanted poster and he saw him and Raven on the chantry's board. He went to find them and he saw that both Raven and Morrigan was standing on the outside of the tavern.
"We have a little problem." said Alistair
"Let me guess, there was a bounty on our heads." said Raven
"How did you know?" said Alistair
"This man told us before you came along." said Morrigan
"I am guessing that it is time for us to get a little payback." said Raven
Raven walked inside of the tavern, but Morrigan use her magic to disguise them. Raven walked towards the bar and he asked the bartender for three Ales for him and the others. Fang was pegging for some food from the bartender and Raven give the bartender some silver to buy some food for fang. The bartender gave fang some stakes and fang bark happily and started eating. Raven was enjoying the ales and he heard that some soldiers was asking up to people about him and Alistair. Then the soldier noticed that Raven for a moment and he walked up to Raven.
"Sorry to bother you, but have to seen this Grey warden with description."
"No, I haven't seen this Grey Warden. Now leave me be before I cut out your tongue." said Raven
The leader of Loghain's men noticed that Raven had threaten his men and he started to approach him. He noticed Morrigan for a moment and he knew that this was going bring trouble to him and his men about blood mages. Raven knew that this was making him that he was being approach again.
"Excuse me, but do you that your friend is a blood mage."
"Are you Templar? If not, then point your eyes somewhere else before I cut them out." said Raven
The men knew that this was making him mad and he drew his sword and he was getting ready to strike Raven, but Raven caught his hand and punched him in the gut and banged his head on the counter. Then Raven threw him to the ground and the man guards had their weapons ready to fight him. They all saw that Raven was here and they knew that he was part of the Grey Warden.
"HE'S A GREY WARDEN! KILL HIM!"
Raven was going to enjoy this because this was his first time fighting in the bar. Alistair was going to help him with the fight and he tackle one of the soldiers. Morrigan was using her magic on them and Raven was using his skills to fight off some of the soldiers. The civilians was joining in the fight because they knew that the Grey Wardens are good people that help defeat the blight. Raven took down a few more soldiers, but he didn't see the last soldier behind him and Raven heard a sound of glass. He turned around to see that the soldier was hit in the head by the bar bottle. He noticed that he was saved by none other than Leliana.
"So uncivilized, I thought a man should fight honorably. You know one on one." said Leliana
"Thanks, but as for you." said Raven
Raven knew that the leader of the troops was about to crawl his way out, but Raven picked him up by the collar. The leader was scare out of his mind because he was dealing the person that they should have never come across. Raven was thinking about what to do with him. Raven thought about interrogate the poor man, but he thought about death should be the only way.
"I should kill you right now." said Raven
"No please don't, I am just a man."
"I don't think that would work with me. I am going to say that the Grey Wardens didn't kill the King." said Raven
"But I saw with my own eyes. The Grey Wardens lead him to his death."
"How about I lead you to yours" said Raven
Raven had a dagger pointed at the man's throat and he knew that this wasn't getting him nowhere, but Leliana grabbed his hand. Raven looked at her and he saw that she had tears in her eyes. Something about Leliana made him stopped for a moment and Leliana place his hand down. Raven released the man and he got his men and they started running out the tavern.
"I am sorry to step in but I could not just stand by and do nothing." said Leliana
"Where did you learn how to fight." said Raven
"That is a story that will be told for a later date. I am leliana by the way." said Leliana
"I am Raven, this is Alistair, and that is Morrigan." said Raven.
"Nice to meet you all." said Leliana
There you have folks Leliana and Kenshin had met once again, but Kenshin is not himself because he is Raven at the moment. Well, will their past greetings will make them come together. Will Leliana get to know the person behind the mask or will she figure the truth on her own. I will have more ready soon and don't hesitate to message me on my profile so we can talk about the story and I am accepting ideas to make this story great as well. Naruto11222 is out for today and I will be back.
Please Review :)
