Okay, I have been working on this the longest because of the major setbacks that I been having. I think that this was going to be the best that I've done. I left off with Raven meeting Leliana in Lothering tavern. Now, I have took some time to myself to get prepare. Also, I am going to have Sten in the mix as well. I liked to have all the characters in my party and he made not be a person that doesn't trust anyone, but he ended up trust my character in my game. I ended up finding his sword afterwards. I don't own none of the Dragon Age character except for my own character.

Enjoy :)


Leliana's Revenge

Raven was looking around town to find something for Leliana to wear beside the Chantry outfit because he knew that it would attracts attention to them. He still regretting inviting her on the travel because something about her made him feel weak around her. She was looking at Raven for a moment, but she noticed something on his side. It was a sword was Kenshin's sword and she started to get angry because Raven had it on him. She knew that this wasn't going to be the time for her to act on it because it was too early. They started walking, but Raven heard Qunari chanting and he heard about them when he was a young boy. (Note: I am talking about Kenshin Cousland, but Raven his alter ego.) He saw a cage and he saw that there was a person inside the cage, but it was a qunari. He started to approach the cage and the person was still chanting, but he stopped for a moment when he saw that he was being approach by humans and a dog.

"What do you want."

"A qunari? I've read about you and your people when I was a young boy. Your people are legendary. I am Raven." said Raven

"A human that see reason about my people. I am Sten. Now, tell what do you want from me." said Sten.

"I am Grey Warden that seeks people to join me to face the blight." said Raven

"A Grey Warden. I heard about your people. If you need me, then you need to talk to the revere mother to ask for my release." said Sten

"Why are you in a cage?" asked Raven

"He was charged for murdering a farmers and his family. The Revere Mother and the Templars arrested him and put him in the cage without no food or water." said Leliana

"Your friend speaks the truth." said Sten

Raven knew that this was going to be the opportunity for him to recruit Sten to the group. Alistair wasn't going to like the idea of Raven asking the a lot of question. He knew that Raven was going to the recruit a Qunari. Raven knew that having a Qunari on their side would help them with the Darkspawn and he knew that they was need the muscles to their side. Raven was thinking about the subject and Morrigan was going to agree about the idea of having Sten. Leliana knew that they was gong to need some extra hands for their mission. Alistair pulled Raven to the side and he knew that they needs to talk about the idea of them having Sten to their team. Raven just looked at him with a serious look on his face.

"Are you sure about this? Having Leliana was one thing, but this is too much." said Alistair

"Do you want to be a leader? I will be happy to let you run things." said Raven

"I am not much of a leader." said Alistair

"Then shut the hell up." said Raven

Morrigan started giggling and Alistair shut his mouth, but he knew that he can't trust Sten. Leliana wasn't happy when she just witness that Alistair was acting like a child. Raven knew that this was going to be a good role for him and he was going to get someone to open the cage for them. Then they all headed towards the Chantry, but something was stopping Raven for a moment. Raven close his eyes and he open them, but he wasn't Raven anymore. He was now Kenshin Cousland and he was looking at the door of the Chantry. He walked inside the building and he looked around to see a group of Templars and refugees. One of Templars noticed Morrigan and he started to approach her, but Kenshin unsheathed his sword to stopped him in his tracks. The guard started to back away slowly and he knew that he wasn't going to fight two Grey Wardens.

"Where can I find the Revere Mother?" said Kenshin

The guard pointed to the room on the far end of the Chantry and Kenshin sheathed his sword and he started walking towards the room. Morrigan was starting to like him and Leliana was getting upset that he had drew his sword in a holy place and she knew that this was going to be hard for her to get to him. Kenshin and the others had made it to the Revere Mother's room and they all saw that she was attending to the child that was having a hard time napping. She was read a story book about a hound being betrayed by his people. But the image of Nan and his young self being told the same story and Kenshin started to shake the image out of his head. He could feel his heart break because of the image of his home being burn down. The Revere saw that she had visitors in her room and she was looking at Kenshin for a moment, but she noticed that Leliana was here with him.

"AH, sister Leliana, I see that you are going to be leaving us to start your travels. I don't recognize your companion here what is his name." said Revere Mother.

"This is Raven and he want to ask you something." said Leliana

"Right, I have come to take the Qunari that is lock in the Cage." said Kenshin

Revere Mother got up and she put the child into a bed and she looked at the statue of Andraste. She knew that it was going to be time for them to execute him, but she knew that it was in the Makers choice not her. Kenshin could see the potential in Sten and he knew everything about the Qunari. Kenshin was looking at the Revere Mother with pure passion about everything. She notice that something about Kenshin was different and she could tell that he was determine about this.

"I was gong to have him executed, but why do you need him." said Revere Mother

"I am a Grey Warden and I am search for more recruits and I need a Qunari to join my ranks." said Kenshin

"Leliana, can you talked some reason because you know your companion than I." said Revere Mother

"With all do respects, your Reveries, having the qunari at our side would do us some good." said Leliana

The Revere Mother knew that this wasn't going nowhere and she looked at Kenshin. Kenshin knew that he wasn't going to back down on his decision and he was looking at her with bright spirit in his eyes. Then the revere mother just sighed because she had lose this battle and she was worry about the Qunari was going to kill more innocent people. Kenshin knew that she was worry about the Qunari going to kill more innocent, but he knew that this wasn't going to happen. The Revere Mother stood up and she have the keys to Sten's cage.

"I know that I can't persuade you, Leliana. Here is the key to the Qunari's cage." said Revere Mother

"Thank you, we promise to let this go unrewarded." said Leliana

They all bowed to the Revere mother and they started to heading back outside to free the Qunari. Kenshin knew that this was now the time to call back Raven and he close his eyes. Then Raven took control once again and he knew that it work, but Leliana had the keys in her hand. They started to head towards the Sten's cage and they noticed that some of the bandits was standing in their ways, but the bandits started to attack them. Raven unsheathed his sword and he use one handed sword style because he knew that if he use the two swords style and he cut some of them down. Leliana was using her daggers to kill some of them while Morrigan use her magic to freeze them. When they were done, Leliana use the keys to free Sten from the cage and he knew that Raven would live up his end of the deal.

"I am surprise that you would keep your end of the bargin." said Sten

"I know what I meant. So, am I going to need your sword to fight the blight." said Raven

"Yes, but I need to find it in order to aid you. I need to find my sword." said Sten

Raven looked at with a dumbfound looked on his face and he knew that this was going to be hard. Sten walked out of his cage and he looked around to see that he was free. Then he stepped out of his cage and Kenshin knew that he was going to find him some new clothes to wear and a weapon for him to wield. Sten noticed a great sword that was laying on the ground and he knew that this wasn't his real sword, but he has to work with it in order to do his part.

"Okay, I think that we need to move on with our mission." said Alistair

"Why?" said Raven

"Well, there is a bounty on our heads and I think that the people are getting ready to collect on us." said Alistair

Raven looked around to see some of the refugees are getting ready for a fight. He looked at Alistair with a serious look on his face and he knew that it was time for them to leave Lothering. Then they started to walking out of the village, but they started some of the villagers was waiting outside of the village for them. Raven knew that this was going to be hard for him and his allies. Leliana knew some of the villagers and they was looking at both Raven and Alistair. They had a wanted posters with their face on it and the villagerts knew that both Alistair and Raven had fit the discriptions.

"You two are the Grey Wardens with a huge bounty on your heads. We don't care what you did or didn't do. That bounty can feed a lot of hungry people. ATTACK!"

Raven had unsheathed his sword and so did Alistair becasue they knew that they couldn't convince the villagers to stop. Raven was ready to fight, but he looked to his right to see that Sten had joined the fight. Leliana knew that she needed to protect her allies from danger and she knew that this will get her a chance for her to earn Raven's trust. But she knew that this was the only way for her to get the sword back from Raven. Morrigan started using her magic to freezes some of them while Raven and Sten use their swords to kill some of the villagers. Alistair was using his shield to block their leader's attacks, but Raven stabbed the leader in the chest.

"Did you really need to kill him?" said Alistair

"He was going to kill you." said Raven

Then both Raven and Alistair heard a screamed from far away and they saw that Darkspawns was attacking a carriage. There was two dwarf that was trying to fight off the darkspawns. Raven knew that they need help and he started running toward them which the darkspawns was looking at them and they started to charge at their enemies. Raven was fighting the leader of the pack while Alistair and ther others was fighting the rest of them. The leader of the pack was a alpha leader and he had two swords and he was fighting Raven, but Raven was cut on his right side by the alpha. Raven knew that he had no choice but to use his family's twin swords style and he move his right arms to the right, but he split his sword into two. Then he was fighting the alpha darkspawn like a mad man and he was trying to end this before leliana noticed the twin swords that he was using. Leliana was using her some of the darkspawns and she noticed a bow, but she looked from a far distance and she noticed a archor was aim at Raven. Then she use the bow and she fire at the archor and she smiled that she just save Raven's life. Raven headbutted the alpha darkspawn and he put his twin swords together and he slice the alpha darkspawn's head off. He looked at the two dwarfs and he check if they was hurt or anything.

"That was amazing. I have never seen a master swordmen that can wield two swords in one sheathed before."

"Don't tell anyone about that." said Raven

"Of course, keeping secrets is my speciality or my name isn't Bodahn Feddic. That's name by the way and this is my boy, Sandal. Say hello, son." said Bodahn

"Hello." said Sandal

"Nice to meet you both, but we better get under way." said Raven

Raven started to leave, but Leliana and the others was running towards Raven and the two dwarfs. Leliana was looking at Raven to see that he was bleeding from the right side. They knew that the dwarfs were safe and Raven started walking and they follow after him. Raven looked at the sky for a moment and he knew that the sun was setting and he knew that everyone need to rest their wounds and he was trying to find a perfect place for them to set up camp. Then he knew that there was an opening in the fields which he knew that this was a perfect spot for them to break for camp.

"This is where we make for camp for the night." said Raven

He place his horse at a spotted where he will be setting up his tent while the others started to setup their tents. Morrigan started to move away from them because she don't like share the same camp with them and she was setting up her tents. Raven knew went to find some fire woods for them to cook some food for dinner. Alistair was looking at him raven because he knew that Raven shouldn't wonder out with someone watching his back but he knew that Raven didn't care about his own safety. Leliana walked up to Alistair and she had something on her mind.

"Alistair right?" Leliana asked

"Yes, is there something that you need." said Alistair

"What do you know about your fellow Grey Warden." said Leliana

"Oh, you mean Raven. I don't know anything about him but he was Duncan's last recruit and I don't like him." said Alistair

"Why is that?" said Leliana

"Well, he drew his sword on his fellow recruit and he was getting ready to kill him. He is just a loner and he doesn't want anyone get close to him. Why?" said Alistair.

"I hear some new about a friend of mine and his estate was attacked by a rival land." said Leliana. "He carries the same sword that belonged to him and it's making me angry that he had robbed his grave."

"What's your friend's name?" said Alistair

"Kenshin Cousland." said Leliana

"I've heard rumors about a Cousland at Ostgar but he was assassinate by one of the troops but I never heard about an entire estate was attack." said Alistair

Raven returned with the fire wood and he noticed that Alistair was talking to Leliana. He started to build up for fire and he started clashing rocks together to ignite the fire. He'd done it a few time and there was spark which cause the woods to get one fire. Then he blew on the little flames to get it to spread to the rest and the fire lit up. He went into his tent because he wanted to be alone. Sten was standing watch because he never know if anyone that wanted to attack them in their sleep. Fang was laying beside Terra because he was tired and hungry. Terra was laying on her stomach and she use a sheet to wrapped around fang.

"That is one smart horse. She must have been taught by her master." said Alistair

Leliana had an apple in her hand and she walked towards Terra which Terra looked at her. She handed the horse an apple because she wanted to be nice. Terra took the apple and started eating and Leliana started petting her on her head. Terra nuzzle her hand just to say thank you for the apple.

"You don't deserve to starve because your master is being rude to you." said Leliana

Alistair was making dinner and he knew that the stew would need some time to finished and he looked at Sten for a moment because he noticed that Sten had his sword ready for some reason. Alistair looked at the bushes because he knew that they had been follow by someone and he grabbed his sword as well. Then out of the bushes was a human and the two dwarfs that they had saved.

"Oh, they're just civilians." said Alistair

"There someone that we need to talk to." said Bodahn

"Hello." said Sandal

Alistair didn't know what the Human wanted and he knew that this can't be good. Raven was still in his tent, but he was resting. Leliana used that distraction to walked inside his tent and she noticed that he was sound asleep, but she had her dagger in her hand. Raven didn't hear her walked in and he was deep in his dreams. Leliana was getting ready to assassinate him in his sleep. She brought her dagger above her head and she knew that this has to be done avenge her fallen friend.

"In the name of the Maker, I asked that you forgive him of his sins when you see him." said Leliana

"Mother... Father... I will not... leave you..." said Raven

Leliana just looked at the sleeping raven and she was about to regret doing this, but her anger knew that she need justice for her Kenshin's death. Then she brought the dagger down toward Raven's throat, but Fang let out a small whine which cause Leliana to stop her attack and she looked at the mabari for a moment. Fang was walking over to his master and he lay on Raven's body to prevent Leliana from cause his master harm.

"You would trust him even if he didn't feed you." said Leliana

Fang just lower his head to her and looked at her with a sad look on his face. Leliana knew that she couldn't bring herself to kill the mabari and she knew put her knife back into her pocket. She started to leave Raven's tent and she knew that there will be another way for her to end his life without the Fang knowing. She was still upset that the man still have the weapon of the Cousland.

"Mother... Father... Oren... Oriana... I will not... leave you all... No... No... No... NO!" said Raven

Raven shot up from his sleep and he was sweating in fear. Then he wipe some of it off his face and he saw that Fang was in his tent. The mabari looked at his master and he started licking Raven on his face. Raven was trying his hardest to get fang off of him. He looked around to see that someone else had enter his tent as well but he doesn't know who was it. He place his hand on is throat and he look at it for a moment and he saw it was blood. Then he walked out of his tent and he saw that Alistair was sitting next to the campfire and he noticed that look on Raven's face.

"Bad dreams." said Alistair

"I don't know." said Raven

"You'll get use to such dreams. I did when I joined the Grey Warden. I scare like a little girl." said Alsitair

"I am not frighten." said Raven

Alistair watched as Raven walked away to collect more fire wood and he knew that Rave had something on his mind that was troubling him. Sten noticed it by just looking at Raven and he knew that it was just a human emotion. Raven grabbed his swords and he headed into the forest. Alistair knew that he was going to need someone to watch his back while he is in the woods. Morrigan knew that she was going to have to help him and she tranformed into a wolf and went after him. When Raven was in the forest, he unsheathed his swords and he looked at them. He knew that he had rely on the Cousland's family sword style for far too long.

"I am not Kenshin Cousland anymore, but I have his grandfather Duel Swords." thought Raven

Then he heard something and he ready himself for a fight. He saw a wolf that was looking at him like a beef and it started to charge at him. Raven was getting ready for a fight and the wolf attack. It was getting ready to bite his head off, but Raven use his sheath to prevent the wolf from biting him. Then he pushed off of him and he watched as the wolf transformed back into Morrigan. Raven was shocked to see that it was Morrigan that had attacked him. He ready himself for the next attack from the witch of the wilds.

"Easy, friend. I am not going to hurt you." said Morrigan.

"Then why did you attack me." said Raven

"I was just trying to teach you a lession." said Morrigan

"Well, you have some funny way to show it." said Raven

Morrigan looked at his duel swords for a moment and she noticed that they were two different of the same sword. Raven used his swords to cut the tree branch and he started collecting fire wood for the campfire. Morrigan was explaining to him about danger in the forest and she knew that he wouldn't listen to her. Raven just wanted to be alone and he watched as she walked away.

"Know this, you may act all tough because you have a dark secret locked away. He will reveal himself to us all and you will not exist anymore." said Morrigan

Raven looked at her and he continue to collect fire wood. He looked at the night blue sky for some answers and he remove the mask. Kenshin knew that Morrigan was telling the truth and he looked at his reflection in the water. He knew that his family's bloodline is calling out to him. He looked at the raven mask for a moment and he wasn't going to abandon it. He kept it close to his heart and he looked at the night sky once again. He had a sad look in his eyes and he started to cried.
