A filler chapter before we come across Hawke?
Jowan finds a Soul
The party walked up to Redcliffe Castle in silence, secretly scared of Wynne. They made their way throught he portcullis and up the stone steps, into the castle and onward to the main hall. The main hall had a somber atmosphere as everyone had gathered with the Circle Mages ready to save Connor.
"Finally you return, Amell. What took so long?" Said Irving.
Oberon leaned towards the First Enchanter, "Uh… Isn't it obvious?" he whispered, pointing towards Alistair.
"Oh… That does explain it." The First Enchanter coughed and looked away. "Well we can still get on and save Connor… He spent most the week doing imitations of people, every impersonation was Isolde and he still made us guess several times before we were allowed to get it right. Anyway, who will be going in the fade?"
"I could but I'm too lazy to ever go in there ever again after that shit at the Circle Tower. Morriga-" Oberon was cut off by a quick glare from Morrigan that really showed she was not the one to go into the Fade.
"Jowan it is then." Said Wynne, no one was to say no to her, even though it would be better to send her in over that useless sod Jowan.
"Oh yay me. I'm thrilled. Do you not wan-" Jowan began but stopped talking when he realised no one was listening.
The Fade preparations worked smoothly as the rest of the group decided to laugh at Alistair, although it was getting old and Morrigan was sad that Alistair was becoming comfortable in his furry, soft, skin.
Jowan entered the Fade and made his way to the desire demon.
"Hello, Jowan." The desire demon said, she was sitting down at a desk, fully clothed.
"Why are you wearing clothes?" Jowan was confused.
"Well I knew you were coming and not that stunning warden, the non-furry one, and decided you were not worth the effort. Especially after the Witch and the Old Woman rejected the opportunity."
Jowan had been rejected by a desire demon.
"Look I'll leave the boy and offer you anything, just not me. I've got work to do."
Jowan was furious, and angrily accepted the offer. "I WANT… SOMEONE TO LOVE ME."
"Haha… they'll call me a miracle worker back at the office. I suppose I'll do it."
And so Connor was saved, and maybe even Jowan's love life?
After much celebration, and burning the bodies of the Redcliffe residents that had died, and some that were still alive, Jowan looked sadly out of his jail cell. He had asked for a lover instead of the promise of his life being spared, and yet he still had no lover. How had his friend, Oberon, managed to score someone like Morrigan and he was still mourning over losing Lily.
There was a light that filtered down from the door to the dungeons, this was followed by heavy footsteps, Jowan peered out of the bars to see a silhouette waddling towards him.
"I've come to free you." The voice said, she had quickly began to unlock the jail cell, she had tried several keys before she found out the door wasn't actually locked.
"Oh, thank you. You're the best, I'm think in love." Jowan desperately hugged his savior.
"I'm Zoe… I saved you because, you remind me of me."
Jowan had found his one true love, the fled out of the castle and towards Lothering. Obviously they were noticed, Oberon had told everyone about Jowan's deal (as Jowan had excitedly told Oberon) and they all watched as he fell in love with Zoe and escaped, watching them think they had achieved so much on their own and yet all they had done was walk out of unlocked doors towards a town that had been destroyed by the blight.
"See," The Warden said, "He couldn't hurt anyone seriously, except you Eamon but that doesn't count, he's useless and so is Zoe. She tried like what, ten keys before she found out it was unlocked already."
