Alex, Maxwell, Daylen, and her inner circle dismounted to find several demons in the area outside the ruined temple, and she unsheathed her staff as Solas, Varric and Cassandra joined her. She casted a barrier towards a group of her Inquisition soldiers, just as Cole disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Kill the demons!" She shouted at the others, "Protect our people! We'll deal with Corypheus!"

"Go!" Blackwall shouted at her as he unsheathed his sword, "We'll cover you!"

"Kick that bastard's ass, boss!" Iron Bull seconded as Maxwell froze a demon, and he happily smashed it to pieces with his broad axe.

Alex turned to look at her brothers, who both nodded at her, with Daylen looking pointedly at Cassandra, his eyes telling her to take care of his beloved, and she nodded back. She ran towards the temple, hearing Vivienne, Maxwell, Daylen and Dorian's voices as they casted spells, Blackwall and Cole attacking with their blades, and Sera and Iron Bull jubilantly shouting as they shot and slashed the demons.

"He is near, Inquisitor." Solas told her as they sprinted, "I can sense the power of the foci. Are you ready to end this?"

"I am." Alex said as she ran, her Mark and her magic glowing from either hand.

"I still don't understand why you had to take us with you, Rosy." Varric said, as he carried Bianca in his arm, shooting demons as he jogged, "You could have taken your siblings… or Blackwall… or Dorian since he is your bestfriend…"

She smiled down at him, "I started this journey with the three of you… long before I met the others." Her eyes met with that of Solas', "It seems only fitting that I end it with you."

Cassandra huffed, "As long as we end it with all of us alive. But then again, if we do not, know that it has been an honor fighting at your side, my friend."

Alex smiled as she grasped her staff tighter, with Varric nodding agreement to Cassandra's statement, and Solas smiling at her as he said, "Indeed it has, Inquisitor." She nodded at them all as they neared the temple.

"Tell me, where is your Maker now?" Alex heard Corypheus' deep rough voice as she neared, and she watched as a small group of her soldiers which included Scout Harding, facing against Corypheus. "Call him. Call down His wrath upon me." He mocked them as he raised the elven orb, glowing red, with his right hand, "You cannot, for he does not exist. I am Corypheus, I shall deliver you from this lie in which you linger. Bow before your new god and be spared."

One of the soldiers straightened up, "Never!" He shouted, defiantly glaring at the magister while raising his sword against him.

Corypheus scowled at the soldier, before he smiled evilly, "As you wish."

Alex covered her face as Corypheus lowered his hand down forcefully, throwing the soldiers back by his sheer power, but soon she heard shrieking as demons began to form from orbs of green light, slashing at her soldiers, who fought back defiantly. Harding approached them, covering their advance with her bow, and Cassandra charged to kill the demons. Corypheus saw her approach, and he bowed a little mockingly, "I knew you would come."

She growled at him as she raised her staff towards him, "It ends here, motherfucker!"

"And so it shall!" Corypheus said as he raised his hands again, and Alex stumbled as the ground underneath them shook violently. Something exploded underground, and Alex gasped when she saw the temple itself float upwards, magicked by Corypheus' power to take to the heavens.

"Inquisitor!" Somebody shouted, and Alex looked back as Scout Harding got thrown off the floating rock they were in, and she clambered to the edge, "Harding!" She yelled, watching as the faithful dwarf landed painfully on her back just as her brothers and the others approach. She saw Maxwell and Dorian help the dwarf up, while Daylen looked up at them in alarm and dread, seeing his sister and his lover floating above in the temple.

Solas pulled her up and back as the rock they were in continued to float, and she stood up as she faced Corypheus, who sneered at her. "You have been most successful in foiling my plan, but let us not forget what you are. A thief, in the wrong place at the wrong time. An interloper. A gnat. We shall prove here, once and for all, which of us is worthy of godhood."

Alex scowled as she span her staff before grasping it tightly, entering a battle stance, "You're not proving anything by talking!"

Corypheus scowled at her, as if he was expecting her to cower from his gaze, and she matched his fierce look with her own. But she blinked when a giant shadow passed over the ruin, and soon Alex saw his Archdemon crawl up the wall behind him, growling menacingly at her. Cassandra stood in front of her, her shield raised at the ready. Alex closed her eyes and concentrated, as the dragon growled again and pounced.

But a flash of yellow and green obstructed the Archdemon, making the air shake at the sheer impact, as Mythal's dragon charged after hearing Alex's call. She watched as the two giants collided with each other before taking to the air, with the Archdemon pursuing the guardian.

"YEAH!" Alex shouted exhuberantly, both fists in the air as she cheered on Mythal's dragon, "Well done, dragon!"

"You dare!" Corypheus exclaimed, and Alex turned her attention to him again, and she laughed, "You're damn right, I dare!" She shouted at the magister, and she raised her middle finger at him, just as Solas casted a barrier around them and Cassandra charged.

"A dragon! How clever of you!" Corypheus taunted her as he casted spells, dropping down huge chunks of rocks at them as Cassandra and Alex hewed at him, while Varric tried to shoot him full of bolts and Solas casted magic on him. "It will avail you nothing! You will fall as a warning to those who oppose my divine will!"

"It will avail me your head!" Alex countered back at him as she drew a barrier around herself and Cassandra, and she continued to assault him with her magic and her Spirit Blade, but the magister seemed to have a barrier of his own, but Cassandra damaged him well, and soon he withdrew from the battle, floating up the battlements of the broken temple as he casted a bright beam of red light at them, hitting Solas and making the elf cry out in pain, "If you desire death, you shall have it!"

Corypheus stopped his assault and floated to a higher area, and Solas cringed as he touched his burnt arm. Alex tossed him a potion, and he drank from it greedily, "You okay, hahren?!"

"I'm fine! Move on up!" Solas told her, and she nodded as they went up another flight of stairs to get closer to Corypheus, who was floating in the air again.

"You think to best me with your feeble magics?!" Corypheus insulted them again as Cassandra charged. "You are nothing! All you love will be ground under the Imperium's heel! You dare touch and avatar of divinity?!"

"Divinity?! HA!" Alex scoffed as Solas casted a spell and caused fireballs to rain down at Corypheus, making the magister growl in pain and annoyance, "All I see is an avatar of stupidity!"

Corypheus growled and floated again, moving to another higher area of the temple, and they followed, going up another staircase. "COWARD!" Alex shouted at him, "What kind of being who aspires for godhood keeps backing out of a damn fight?!"

But Solas pulled at her, making her look up, and she only had a split second to move as the two dragons collided hard into the ground. She dove into a corner of the ruins with Solas, and he covered her with his body as the temple crumbled a little at the impact, making him grunt as stones struck his back.

"Solas!" She gasped out, clutching at the front of the elf's robes, and he smiled a little, although he was grimacing.

"Cullen would be very disappointed if you are hurt, Alex." Solas told her as the dust settled and he pulled her up. And she laughed a little, "Thank you."

But the moment of peace was cut short as she heard a growl, and she looked behind the elf to see that the Archdemon was still alive, but it was wounded and bleeding. It let out an exhausted roar as it shifted, readying its limbs for a fight, and she heard Cassandra sigh in exhaustion as she raised her shield, "Well… so much for our dragon."

Alex laughed a little as she brought out her Spirit Blade, "More for us then!" She said as she charged.

"You're spending way too much time with Tiny, Rosy!" Varric commented as he shot, and Alex laughed as she and Cassandra danced around the dragon's various limbs and tail, hacking and slashing at it. "Yeah, and after this, I'm going to owe him a drink! All that dragon-slaying with him is proving useful!"

The archdemon growled at her, opening its gaping maw and showing rows of sharp pointy teeth, but Alex dived instead, getting underneath the dragon's vulnerable neck. With a shout she used the sword-like end of her staff and slashed at it, making it growl and she forcefully stabbed upward, firmly embedding the entire length of her staff into the dragon. It let out a frustrated and hurt roar before it crashed down, deceased with its blood flowing down to the ground. She huffed as she grasped the blunted end of her staff, and tried to pull it off the corpse's neck, but it was stuck into its flesh, and Cassandra had to come over and pull her by her waistband, and the staff came out with a squelch.

The Seeker laughed a little, "Perhaps you should consider letting me stab the dragon next time, Inquisitor."

Alex winked at her as she wiped the dragon's blood away from her staff with an already soaked handkerchief. "And miss out in the fun? Perish the thought."

But a red light emerged from the dragon, floating through the air, and they watched it as they headed up towards the battlements towards Corypheus, who roared out in frustration as he raised the foci with a hand, "Let it end here! Let the skies boil! Let the world be rent asunder!"

"Come on!" Alex said as she mentioned at them, and Varric huffed out a tired breath as they ran up the stairs again towards Corypheus.
