Morrigan travelled across Ferelden to Denerim and was shocked when she learnt that the Circles had failed and the mages were no longer oppressed but that the Right of Annulment had been exact. What's more, she caught snippets that Donna had declared Ferelden a neutral ground for templar's and mages, especially in Denerim.

Having entered Denerim, she found that the place had persevered under King Alistair and Queen Donna's rule. The small town had spread and renovated to looking it's part as Ferelden's capital. The Kingdom was turned into a proper castle appropriate of royalty. Elves were no longer banished to the alienages and free to live amongst humans and dwarves as were mages. All in all, the place was better.

As she appeared before the Castle door's she hesitated. The guards shot her a suspicious look but said nothing. Taking a deep breath, she entered.


"What's the news?" Alistair asked from his throne.

"Lady Hawke has disappeared in much the same manner, it seems my lord," Leliana bowed.

"Don't bow to me, Leliana. Through your companionship to me during the Blight, you are practically noble now."

"Don't nobles bow to you also?"

"Well, yeah but you're my friend."

Leliana sent him a teasing smile and Alistair sighed.

"We brought Varric back. He was a companion to Hawke," Cassandra stated.

Alistair looked upon Varric. "I remember you, dwarf. I met you in the Viscounts' Keep."

"So you did."

Alistair suddenly slammed his fist down on the throne's armrest.

"We need to find out what happened to them both."

"So Donna has gone missing, has she?"

Everyone in the throne room turned to stare at the apostate that had entered the room.

"Morrigan!" Leliana gasped, running at the mage.

Instead of being killed on sight as she expected, she was tackled by the former Chantry sister in a hug.

Morrigan awkwardly patted her old friend's back while Alistair ordered everyone to leave but Varric.

"I thought you were never coming back!"

"Well, I wasn't until my son was older but circumstances brought me back."

"You have a son!?" Leliana gasped.

"You said I had nothing to worry about," Alistair frowned.

"You don't. He doesn't even know who you are."

"You make it sound like Alistair is the father," Leliana laughed but she stopped when she saw the looks on both their faces. "WHAT!?"

"Leliana, enough. It's a long story."

"Does Donna know you slept with Morrigan!?"

"She's the one that made me do it."

"WHAT!?"

"We don't have time for that," Morrigan stopped her. "A couple of days ago, Dominic was taken by Flemeth and forced me from our hidden dimension. She cut off my way back and we need to stop her."

"Flemeth? Didn't we kill her?" Alistair asked.

"Apparently we failed," Leliana muttered.

"In case you've forgotten, Alistair, Dominic is the reborn god and if Flemeth has him, she can use him to start another Blight."

Alistair bit his thumb in thought, a habit he had developed over the years.

"Dwarf, do you think you can get in touch with your old friends?" Alistair asked.

"I know where they've been. We could track them from there."

Alistair nodded. "Very well then. Leliana, do you know what our old friends are up to?"

Leliana nodded. "I've kept in touch with Zevran and he's been keeping tabs on everyone in case of emergencies such as this."

He nodded again. "Then I want everyone gathered up. It's about time we all got together again. Such a shame it's to save the world. Again."


Sorry for the short chapters :S
