Just a short one this time, but gotta see what been happening in Redcliffe
The sun was hovering low in the sky by the time Kallian's feet touched down on the Redcliffe docks, she quickly ran ahead towards the castle to tell the others that help had finally arrived.
"You finally arrive, I see, but where are the others?" Morrigan asked as she entered the castle doors.
"I will explain later, the mages and templar's are coming behind me. We need to get everything ready."
It wasn't long until the small boy was lead into the main hall, guards, mages and templar's waiting to get started. Kallian watch with interest as the mages prepared the lyrium, they had agreed on sending in Morrigan, as both Wynne and Irving where both still recovering from the events at the tower. Morrigan had lead the templar's to believe she was a warden, which caused their suspicion to dim.
The Circle mages weaved and spun spells that would send Morrigan in to the fade, though once the spells where finished they all sat in perfect silence and watch the sleeping forms of Morrigan and Connor. After a few minutes Kallian couldn't stand the stillness in the room, after the rush and adrenalin fuelled few days the inactivity made her twitch.
She left the quite of the hall and began to walk, she found her cousins as they made their way back in to the castle, they had been helping in the village when they had heard she was back. She told them all the things that had happened at the tower, though Kallian left out the part of her fade dream, it was still hard to think that, that life could have existed somewhere.
After allowing her cousins to see she was alive and unharmed she left to see where Elissa and Alistair could be found. It was one of the few remaining maids that informed her that they where upstairs in one of the spare rooms, and that Alistair had taken sick.
After a few wrong turns she eventually found them both, Alistair was lying on the bed; deathly pale with sweat gathering on his brow, tremors ran through his body like shivers, his eye's screwed up as if he was in pain.
Elissa sat beside him, replacing a wet cloth that had been sitting on his forehead. Her eye's had dark circles under them that stood out considerably against her own blood drained face.
"Your back,"
"Maker what happened?" they both said at once. Elissa answered quickly.
"I don't know, he was exhausted, he hasn't really slept or eaten since he arrived here, but he keeps on going from having a temperature to being freezing, and then he started to shake, Maker I have no idea what to do." Elissa voice became frantic as tears began to well in her eyes.
"Elissa, it's alright, there are healing mages here that will be able to help him as soon as their finished with helping Connor."
Elissa took a deep breath, allowing herself to be pulled in to a hug by the other woman; they clung to each other until Elissa felt calm enough to speak again.
"So where are the others? What happened at the tower?"
"Well…" Kallian said as she began the long story.
Don't worry the other's will show up again, exciting things happening in the next two chapters :P
