Reviews

Boris Yeltsin: Thanks, okay :)
Marina Ka-Fai: Thanks.
Wolfgirl2013: Thanks :)
raw666: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it; well, the only issue really with him doing that would be, the complications of such a spell, we are talking magic after all, no matter how powerful Solas is, what he's doing is already complicated enough without adding that into the mix, nevertheless, I do understand where you are coming from, I'm not sure how to make that work however.

Now onto the story.

Varric

Varric glowered, he couldn't let this happen. He quickly took aim with Bianca, an explosive bolt loaded into her, attempting to at least delay Corypheus from making his way up to the altar. Unfortunately, at that exact moment, the Dragon roared and lunged at them, ready to attack.

"Shit!" Varric cried as he, along with the others dodged.

The timing of the Dragon's attack couldn't be worse, he had lined up his shot and was about to fire. But as his finger touched the trigger, the attack came. As such his shot went wide, struck a rock, splintering it with the explosion. Scrambling to his feet he grimaced. The Dragon growled as it stalked around the battleground, eyeing each of them with it's malevolent red eyes, clearly sizing them up, picking it's first target.

"Well this isn't good." He muttered.

Arya Stark, who was nearest him, nodded, before looking over at Solas.

"Any words of advice Solas?" She asked, before looking to him. "What about you Varric, you've fought dragons before right?"

Varric sighed. "Yes, but, a dragon like this..."

"It should still have the same weaknesses, mainly the eyes and the hollow in its back, where the wings meet." Solas replied.

Varric nodded. "Alright, well, we better hurry, or we'll be too late to stop Corypheus."

The Dragon let out a roar as it moved closer and they knew this was it; their battle was upon them.

Right away, Varric knew they were in trouble; the dragon reared back.

"Move!" He cried.

They quickly dove out of the way, only narrowly avoiding the dragon's breath. The Red Lyrium expelled from its mouth crippled the ground where it hit, but thankfully none of them had been hit.

'Gotta make this count, or we're finished.' Varric noted worriedly.

He quickly raised Bianca and opened fire, launching four bolts in quick succession. But all four hit the Dragon's scales and bounced off.

"Shit..."

The Dragon turned to him in that moment and lunged. Varric quickly leapt back, just narrowly missing it's razor sharp teeth as it's maw nearly closed in on him. Luckily it missed and Arya attacked, striking the side of it's head, but missing its eye. Still her attack did some small damage. The dragon pulled back a little. But before it could turn to attack Arya, Solas attacked with his magic but it seemed to have little effect on the dragon.

"Uh oh...if Chuckles' magic doesn't work, it..." Varric began.

But then Solas struck out again; this time injuring the dragon, but only slightly. It lashed out with it's tail, narrowly avoiding missing Solas and Gendry, the latter of whom stuck out and managed to attack the tail, some of the scales cracked. It was clear this wasn't going to work, they'd need to do something quickly if they were to have any chance of victory against the dragon.

While Solas continued to try and bombard it with his spells, Varric took aim again, firing more bolts, but still not having much luck. Just then however, he saw his chance and took it, aiming carefully and. While Solas struck it with a Stonefist spell, he fired. The dragon growled, moving slightly, right into position and then it shrieked in agony. His bolt struck true and blinded it in its right eye.

"Alright, nice work!" He called out.

Solas shook his head. "Stay focused, we..."

At that moment Solas stopped, as Arya suddenly charged forwards. Seeing this, Gendry froze.

"Arry!"

She managed to leap onto one of the dragon's arms and clambered up it, as it turned it's head and roared. Varric quickly opened fire, while Solas countered with his spells and Gendry charged in, striking at the beast with his war-hammer.

"What do you think you're doing!" Varric cried out to Arya.

Arya's response was simple. "What do you think!?"

As she said that, Varric realized where she was, on the Dragon's back, directly where the wings met. With a shout she thrust Needle into the hollow depression at the base of the neck, right where the wings met and the Dragon shrieked again. Arya remained for as long as she could as the beast flailed

"Quickly, we must stop it taking off!" Solas yelled.

Varric could only watch, unable to attack without risk. Solas and Gendry aimed their attack at the wings and soon crippled them, preventing the dragon from flying away. At this stage, realizing the danger as the dragon attacked with its breath again, forcing everybody else, including Varric himself, Arya wrenched Needle out of the wound it had inflicted, before leaping off the Dragon's back.

Varric watched worriedly as she plummeted to the ground, but Gendry had managed to move into the correct position and sure enough, caught her. They quickly hurried away, Gendry putting Arya down.

"You are mad!" He was saying to her; yet grinning.

She shook her head but also smiled. They quickly regrouped, observing the dragon now. It was injured badly, blind in one eye, it's wings crippled. But it was still dangerous as it proved by trying to use it's breath on them. Leaping out of the way of the attack again, Varric spotted something that immediately worried him.

"Guys, I think we're too late!" He cried out as he straightened up.

For indeed, at that moment, a brilliant red light flared upon the mountaintop. Corypheus had clearly begun his ritual.

Solas said something in Elvish that Varric assumed was unflattering. "We must move quickly, now!"

Nodding Varric quickly loaded Bianca again. "I'll buy us some time!"

He fired and struck it's face with an explosive bolt, the explosion dazing the dragon. Using that opportunity, the group quickly began to advance. But then, Varric spotted something.

"Everyone, look out!" He called out.

But he was too late; for although the others were able to dodge, Varric wasn't able to save himself. The tail of the dragon struck him head on and the next thing he knew, was blackness.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
