Alex entered the War Room after speaking with Daylen only to see her advisors and Morrigan speaking by the table. She smiled at them a little, and Cullen gave her a wide smile.

"I'm pleased to report we won the battle, Inquisitor… as you might have seen." Cullen told her, looking positively pleased at the fact that his soldiers were successful. "When you went through that mirror, Corypheus and his archdemon fled the field. I'm not sure why."

Morrigan shrugged as Alex stepped beside her, "What he wanted was no longer in the temple."

"Perhaps." Cullen nodded at her, "He spent so long trying to get into the temple, he probably couldn't have helped his forces by that point."

Josephine looked a little relieved, "Then, Corypheus is finished."

Leliana shook her head as she turned to look at her friend, "If he is wise, he will hide and rebuild his strength before he attacks again."

Alex winced a little when she felt her ears hurt a little, as if a gush of wind was entering her ears, and she closed her eyes and concentrated, only to hear the voices from the Well again. Dirthara… the voices whispered, Mythal enaste… Mythal ghilan…Ven Asha'bellanar… He will not hide…

Seek the truth?, Alex thought, trying to remember what she had learned from Solas' lexicon to decipher the elven she heard, Mythal's favor? Mythal will guide? Go to…go to… what does "asha'bellanar" mean?

"Inquisitor?"

Alex's eyes snapped open as the whisperings in her ear ceased, only to find Cullen looking worriedly at her. "He won't hide." Alex told them, making Morrigan look at her in shock, "You hear it. The Well speaks to you."

She shrugged, "It's… voices, whispering from so far away I can barely hear them…"

The witch rolled her eyes at her, "If only one who understands such voices had used the Well's power instead."

They heard someone scoff, and Alex and Morrigan looked at Leliana only to see the bard scowling at her, "Then we'd have to rely on her interpretation of them and whatever she chose to tell us."

Morrigan returned her scowl with one of her own, "Have I not been forthcoming enough for you, spymaster?" She said to Leliana before turning to look at Alex again, "I told you what could have done, Inquisitor. You should be hearing shouts from the heavens, not whispers!"

"Then help me!" Alex told her, and making her blink, "Isn't that what you came here to do?"

Morrigan silenced for a bit, before she exhaled loudly, "Earlier, you said you knew what needed to be done next. What did you mean?"

"The dragon isn't an Archdemon." Alex told her, before turning to look at her advisors again, "It's a dragon in which Corypheus has invested part of his power. Kill it, and his ability to jump to other bodies is disrupted for a time. He can be killed."

Leliana put a hand on her chin, "That's… no simple task. Corypheus alone is powerful, but with his dragon…"

"There is a way, but I'll need Morrigan's help." Alex told her, and the witch rolled her her eyes, "The voices from the well tell you that, do they? Very well, Inquisitor. Speak to me when you are ready to begin this 'plan' of yours." And Morrigan turned around to head out of the room, closing the door behind her just as Leliana, Cullen and Josephine looked at each other.

"Are you… certain of this?" Josephine asked her worriedly.

Alex's face broke into a smile as she chuckled, "I don't think 'certain' is the right word."

Cullen smiled back at her, "I'll see to Skyhold's defenses at the meantime. But there is another matter you must deal with. We have… brought Samson with us from the Arbor Wilds. He currently awaiting at the dungeons."

Alex nodded, the smile on her face fading a little, "I… see. Tell the soldiers to bring him in to the Throne Room."

"Yes, Inquisitor." Josephine said, bowing down at her, "I'll set up the Throne Room right now."

Josephine and Leliana bowed down to her and headed to the door, leaving just Alex and Cullen in the War Room, with the woman staring at the Commander. He blinked when he noticed that Alex seemed to be staring intently at him, and he ran a hand at the back of his neck again, "Is there… something else, Inquisitor?"

Alex stared at him, before she smiled, "It's nothing, Cullen. I was just… marveling at how handsome you are."

The Commander blinked, and he blushed red at her compliment as he chuckled, "I… thank you. And if I might say so, you look rather ravishing yourself." Alex laughed as he went around the table to stand beside her, and he put his arms around her waist, "And if it weren't for the fact that you're needed for Samson's judgment right now, I'd have you right here on this War Table."

"You want to take me right up the Dales, eh?" Alex said, grinning at him and he laughed out loud, "We'll see if we could arrange that. Of course, I'd have to send Leliana and Josephine on a personal errand for that to happen, but you'll never know. They might agree if I asked."

"Hmm… using your authority to send your advisors away so you can have me on the War Table?" Cullen said, smirking down at her before bending over to kiss her neck, "I don't know… doesn't that seem to be… an abuse of authority?"

Alex laughed, "Hey, if it'll lead to some amazing sex on this table, I'm all for it." Cullen laughed out loud by her neck, and she patted his shoulder, "I'll get right to that once I'm done with the judgment."

Cullen raised his head and kissed her soundly on the lips as they started walking out of the doors, "Of course, Inquisitor. I'll send my soldiers to get Samson from his cell… and…"

Alex let out a small 'eep' of surprise as Cullen's hand traveled lower from her lower back to her bottom, and he squeezed her ass, making him chuckle, "I'll be waiting for your confirmation that the Ambassador and the Spymaster are away… because… I really do want to take you up the Dales."
