_Chapter III_

The next morning in Denerim Palace, Naruto awoke and rolled over to his left and let out a heartbroken sigh. I miss you so much Tenten. Everyday I wake I hope it was all just a terrible dream. Naruto thought sadly remembering the days when he would wake and simply stare lovingly at Tenten as she slept.

There soon came a loud knock at the door followed by the voice of Duncan. "Naruto, you'd best get ready as you only have a short time for breakfast before the King's messenger leaves for Highever."

"RIGHT!" Naruto shouted as he stood and went about what had become his morning routine. He would wash in the clay basin that was before a mirror then went about dressing in his Steel Plate Armour. Then he would strap his shield to his back before sheathing his sword then exited his room while thinking. Well my new life starts now.

=NotG=

Éowyn Cousland dressed in her Studded Drakeskin Leather armour and a lone Dragonbone dagger sheathed on her back, entered the main hall of her family's castle having been summoned by her father for something important. It appeared that she had entered just as her father Bryce Cousland had finished talking to Arl, Rendon Howe.

"I'm sorry Pup I didn't see you there. You remember my daughter Éowyn don't you Howe?" Bryce asked his long time friend.

"But of course. It's good to see you again my dear." Howe said addressing Éowyn.

"And you Howe. Tell me is your family here?" Éowyn asked hoping to speak with Delilah.

"No I left them in Amaranthine well away from the fighting. My son Thomas was asking of you, he has grown into a fine young man." said Howe dropping the mother of all hints. Something which Éowyn mentally scowled at. This was because unknown to her family Éowyn had no interest in the opposite sex. Something that many of the castles female elves who worked for her family could vouch for.

"I am sorry Howe but I have no interest in an arranged marriage." Éowyn said in a no nonsense voice.

Hearing his daughter Bryce Cousland chuckled. "See what I contend with Howe. You can't tell my fierce girl anything these days" Bryce explained his voice full of mirth.

"No doubt because you trained her as a warrior. How unusual." Howe said.

"Perhaps, anyway pup the reason I called you here is that while I and brother are away I'm leaving you in charge. Only a token force will remain and you must keep peace in the region. You know what they say about mice when the cats away, yes?" Bryce asked and his daughter smiled and nodded.

"There's also someone you must meet. Please… Show Naruto in." Bryce ordered one of his men, who saluted Bryce then signalled a man near the door.

Éowyn Cousland looked to the halls main doors and saw that a young man in full steel plate had entered the hall carrying a helm under his right arm. Éowyn guessed the man to be not that much older than herself. She noticed that he had tanned skin that seemed to only enhance the brightness of his blonde hair and bright blue eyes and six scars on his cheeks three to each cheek that reminded her of whiskers. She was broken from her thoughts when he spoke.

"You honour me your lordship with your hospitality" Spoke Naruto his tone nothing but truthful.

"Your lordship who is this man that he would be required to be introduced to your daughter?" asked Howe worriedly as the young man before him was clearly a strong warrior.

"He is a Grey Warden recruit here on an errand for Duncan the commander of the Ferelden Wardens." Answered Bryce.

"A Grey Warden Recruit?" Howe asked surprised.

"Yes old friend. Is that a problem?" asked Bryce.

"Of course not but a Grey Warden even a Recruit requires certain protocol. I am… at a disadvantage" Said Howe calmly.

"We rarely have pleasure of seeing one in person, that's true. Pup Brother Aldous taught you who the Grey Wardens are I hope?" Bryce asked getting his daughters attention.

Éowyn turned to her father then answered him. "They're an order of great warriors." she said and everyone but Naruto missed the gleam in her eye and Naruto just knew she wished to join the order.

Bryce Cousland smiled at his daughters knowledge. "They are the heroes of legend, who ended the Blights and saved us all." explained Bryce.

Turning from his friend Howe addressed Naruto "Tell me young Naruto what is this errand Duncan has sent you on?" he asked.

"I've been sent to scout for a possible recruit while Duncan does the same in the Brecilian Forest. If I find someone worthy I will be heading south to Ostagar to join up with the others" answered Naruto

"Currently I believe he has his eye on Ser Gilmore" Explained Bryce.

"If I may be so bold, but from what I have seen your lordship I believe your daughter would be an excellent choice as well." said Naruto and Éowyn felt her heart sore at the chance to join the Wardens. Although the frown her father now had worried her.

"An honour though that might be. This is my daughter we're talking about here" replied Bryce sternly.

Hoping to change her father's mind Éowyn spoke up. "I think I rather like the idea father" said Éowyn only she seemed to be ignored and her father stepped before her.

"I've not so many children that I'll see them all off to battle. Unless you intend to invoke the right of conscription…?" Bryce asked

Naruto simply shook his head. "As a recruit my self Teryn Cousland I am unable to invoke it anyway." explained Naruto and Bryce seemed to relax some what, then turned to his daughter.

"Pup, could you show Naruto to his room. Then find your brother and tell him to lead the Army ahead to Ostagar." explained Bryce.

Éowyn nodded then looked to Naruto. "If you would follow me please Naruto." Said Éowyn. And Naruto nodded back and followed Éowyn out of the hall.

Once Naruto and Éowyn had left the main hall Naruto looked at Éowyn from the comer of his eye and smirked. "Why do I get the feeling that if it were up to you Éowyn we would be heading to Ostagar with your brother." stated Naruto.

Éowyn looked at Naruto and returned the smirk "Because we would Naruto." answered Éowyn.

=NotG=

Later that evening Naruto sat within the Cousland family library learning all he could about Ferelden as well as the rest of Thedas, as well as what was known about the elves. Currently Naruto was sat at the back on the left hand side of the entrance to the library. His sword and shield resting on the Table before his helm was looped on to his belt by it's chin strap. Naruto once again thanks the old sage he discovered was the Brother Aldous mentioned earlier in the day by Bryce Cousland.

Naruto and Aldous soon heard a commotion from outside and both paused at the sound. Suddenly the door was kicked open and several men in leather armour came in and fired arrows killing the old Sage. In an instant naruto was up sword and shield in hand and sprang into action with a speed that surprised those attacking as they had never seen anyone in full plate move so fast.

The scene that greeted Eleanor and Éowyn Cousland when they entered the Library in hoping that Aldous was alive, was one of Naruto surrounded but easily defeating his attackers if the headless bodies that were strewn across the library were any indication.

Éowyn leapt in to the fray her Mabari hound Shadow following. Éowyn knifed on of the assailants in the back while Shadow tore another's throat out. From her position at the door Eleanor let loose arrows from her Dragonthorn longbow, not once did her arrows miss.

With help from Éowyn and Eleanor the remaining men were quickly defeated. Once naruto pulled his sword from the last soldier he turned to face the two female Cousland's

"Your ladyships! Are you both alright?" Naruto asked as he removed his helm from his belt and fastened it securely upon his head.

"We are fine Naruto but Howe has betrayed my family and means to slaughter us all. His men have already killed my nephew Oren and sister in law Oriana ." answered Éowyn who had to fight back the tears as she would never be called auntie again and while she had always asked Oren not to call her it she would miss it.

Naruto bowed his head hearing that news as he had met both Oren and Oriana at dinner that night and had noticed a drive in Oren that would of made him take him as his apprentice if he had been in Konoha still. "I am truly sorry for your loss your nephew and sister in law. Now we must hurry and find the Teryn. Lady Cousland where will your husband be?" Naruto asked.

"If he is anywhere Warden he will be at the front gates. But we must first stop by the family vault so that we may recover the family Sword and Shield." answered Eleanor.

"Very well my lady. You lead, I follow." Naruto said and Lady Cousland nodded before leading her daughter and Naruto to the vault.

Once they arrived at the Vault they were saddened to find that the two guards were dead but luckily the treasury door was still secure. Eleanor handed the key to her daughter and once the door was unlocked, Éowyn and Naruto entered while Eleanor and Shadow stood guard at the main entrance.

Inside the vault Naruto saw Éowyn grab a Drakeskin studded leather helm from a stand then moved to a chest at the far end of the vault. Once it was opened she removed an ornate long sword and a metal kite shield with a Loral Leaf painted on it, from where he stood Naruto could see that both were made from Dragon Bone much like his own.

"Can you use a Shield Éowyn?" asked Naruto

"A little but not very well I am afraid" answered Éowyn as she tied her long black hair back an put the helm on then nodded at Naruto.

"Right let's find your father. Then we can inform King Calian of Howe's betrayal." explained Naruto as they left the vault.

They soon made it to the main gates were they found Ser Gilmore and a small band of men fighting against a larger force. Naruto and Éowyn followed by her loyal Mabari hound too to the fray. Naruto targeted the mage that was with them and quickly beheaded her cutting off the soldiers means to be healed. With the death of the mage the rest of Howe's men were quickly defeated and laid dead in the main hall leaving some of the defenders breathless.

Ser Gilmore stood straight and gave orders to the remaining men. "Go, bar the door keep those bastards out as long as you can."

The remaining men although tired did as they were ordered and ran to the door and quickly placed the large wooden bar across the door then braced the door with their own weight hoping to buy more time.

Turning Ser Gilmore looked at Naruto and the two Cousland Ladies. "My lady, your ladyship, warden! Thank the Maker your alive" Ser Gilmore said relived.

"Thank you Ser Gilmore. Do you know where my father will be?" asked Éowyn.

"Last I saw, the Teryn was heading towards the Kitchens. You should all head there. I will stay and cover your escape." answered Gilmore.

Naruto cut his eyes to Éowyn and saw that she wanted to stay and help and even Shadow at her side growled wanting to defend his home from these invaders to his territory.

"Éowyn. I know what you want to do but forget it. You need to escape so we can inform the king of the events that have happened this night." Naruto said his voice sharp.

Hearing his voice Éowyn's shoulders sagged and she nodded in understanding "Maker watch over you Ser Gilmore" Éowyn said sadly

"Maker watch over us all." said Ser Gilmore who then ran to the door and put his own strength to the door.

There was little resistance from the hall to the kitchens save for a small band of men who were near the kitchens. The band of men was no match against them and were defeated quickly. Once in the kitchen Éowyn and Eleanor ran straight for the larder door.

Once in the larder they found Bryce Cousland in a heap on the floor clutching at a stab wound to his side. Naruto knowing this needed to be private between the Cousland family, so Naruto kept near the door watching the kitchen's only door. Eventually he heard Bryce Cousland call him.

"Naruto… please…take my wife…and daughter somewhere safe." asked Bryce.

"I will your lordship…but I fear I must ask for something in return." said Naruto.

"Anything!" Bryce struggled to say.

"I ask that your daughter be aloud to join the Grey Wardens" Naruto said. Bryce Cousland looked to his daughter then spoke.

"If it means her survival… then very well." said Bryce.

"Me?… but what about Ser Gilmore?" asked Éowyn shocked over this request to her father and that he had agreed when that very day he had refused.

"You were Duncan's first choice Éowyn and after seeing you inaction this night I agree with him. I offer you a place in the Wardens. But you must let the king deal with Howe. In the twenty three years I have lived I've seen what the first for vengeance does to a person" Naruto explained and said his last statement harshly remembering what the quest for revenge did to Sasuke.

Éowyn nodded and stood waiting for her mother to stand but to her sadness her mother decided to stay by her husbands side saying she would kill every bastard that came through the door, and that she would give her daughter and Naruto the time they would need to escape.

Before Éowyn could protest the sound of the main door being breached sounded through out the castle and Naruto had no choice but to drag Éowyn out through the servant's entrance her Mabari following and Éowyn managing one last tearful goodbye to her beloved parents.


Phew. That felt like it took forever. But that's the third chapter of Naruto of the Grey finally finished until next time.
