Three hours later
Arya woke to her ears ringing and everything shaking around her. She clutched tight the armrest trying to hold as everything fell to the ground around her. She could hear a vase smashing nearby. Her vison was blurry, she didn't feel right. She was ill to her stomach, the shaking only wanted to make her wretch worse. Soon the sounds of battle filled her hearing it was close. She tried to focus but her vison would not clear. . . Was she dreaming? Then she remembered Rin, he said someone was trying kill her.
Was it Solas?
Had he found her? Was he here to finish the job? She shook her head no, it couldn't. Part of her refused to believe it, he loved her didn't he? But then she remembered Cole, and only one word entered her mind. . . Solas. She was confused about everything. About what he said to her the last time they spoke. His protest of love and how he would have never would have harmed her or Cole. Part of her was screaming listen. . . But then there was the confession and her councilors findings she had made them look over and over again. . .
She knew what she had heard and seen, but still her heart would scream out in the night. . . Lies! It did not help that she dreamed of him each night thought she knew Dorian's spell did not let him find her, she still dreamed of waking in his arms. His strong but gentle arms just the way they were when he would hold her in the old days, keeping her warm, and a kiss on the cheek and she would fall into a slumber while he told her stories of his travel in the fade. What she would give to have him hold her like that once more. She would die happy just for him to hold her like that once more . . .
Before she could pull her head back to the present she felt someone strong pulling on her arm "Inquisitor." She knew Zeverans voice, "A band of bandits have entered the great hall, we must move you to a safer location."
"Bandits? Who are they? How did they get in." she could hardly see her vision was getting better but slowly. She felt the Antivan pull her into his arms as he dragged her away. "I do not know m'lady we think they could have used tunnels in the basement. This city seems to be filled a lot of such things. But our time is short let's move." Arya could feel herself being pulled as the screams of the dying and the explosions grew closer. . . As they moved her vision slowly cleared "Sir where's Rin?" One of the men asked. "I do not know last I saw him, he was near the kitchen with Madame DeFlur. In here let's hurry, I think there is a passage out into Darktown this way." She felt herself being pushed into a room and a door.
Downstairs Vivienne's fireball exploded sending several warriors and their body parts flying all over the library. To her left Rin was firing off at the crows she still could not believe it. An hour ago everything was ok other than she was in Krikwall of all places. . It was like going from an empty quiet room to the middle of a storm all at once. She had been in the kitchen with Rin when one of Zevarns guards attacked HER! Of all people, the nerve. Then out of nowhere Dalish warriors showed up with a giant black wolf. It took her a few moments to figure out she was NOT dreaming one of Varrics romance novels.
"To your left Lady Enchantress." Rin called out as he sent an arrow straight into another crows head
Vivienne move to strike but before she could bring her spell to bear the large black wolf with red eyes tore into the man's jugular from behind. She then turned behind firing off one more shot as the wolf, the Dalish and Rin finished off the last of the crows in the room "Now that we have that out of the way why is Zevran going against his contract and trying to kill us, he works for the Inquisition and they don't want us dead? And why are you not with them?"
Rin looked at the ebony beauty that was Vivienne "I was hired by a third party to discover the real culprit behind the inquisitor, my investigation lead me to the crows. I infiltrated the organization a few weeks ago." Rin said as he saw the wolf sniffing toward the corridor.
"We know it was the Venitori. Who else has that kind of power and wants her dead darling?"
Rin shook his head negatively. "My information shows that the Venatori has less power than you think. They cannot at present pull off such they do not have the man power nor the financial resources, thanks to Teventers recent scuffles with the Qunari. What little I have found is that the contract came from somewhere high up in the Fereldan nobility. Whoever it was could pay A LOT of money and knew just who to get. They knew the Divine trusted Zevran and their past. They used it well" His eyes diverted momentarily to the strange wolf who seemed to be taking in every word RIN said.
"Fereldan, but who would do such a thing. . . She is just a girl?" She didn't want to imagine who had hired Zevarn or who had hired Rin. I was all too much for Vivienne to take in. The wolf growled louder, it was clear it did not seem to like her, " I do not know for sure. The first time was botched, Zevran was to finish the job himself and make it look as natural as possible. He has been poisoning her for weeks, I have been trying to slip her an antidote but. . . I don't know if it's enough to help." Rin said as he pulled his white bow over his board shoulders" Now come on she has little time if we do not move." Vivienne just nodded as the wolf howled loudly and jump forward running toward the stairs with several of the Dalish warriors behind him. "Let's go."
