Briala
Standing and observing her surroundings, the ruins of the battlefield, the bodies being moved away from the dense foliage and vegetation, seeking a less dangerous place for their pyres, Briala let out a slow careful breath.
'We did it, we have been victorious.' She reflected. 'It cost much, many lives were lost...even before we reached this battlefield; so much happened, so much changed. So much still needs to change, and yet...I feel like we have a real shot at peace now.'
A soft smile finally forming on her face, Briala turned away and began making her way back to the command tents. It was dusk, the sun almost completely set.
Her thoughts continued. 'Everyone we lost here, died, giving their all for Orlais and Ferelden, for all of Thedas. Be they human or Elf, we all made this possible.'
She just hoped that in the end, things would work out, for she knew there was still a long way to go. Reaching the command tents, she approached Celene's, looking around carefully before entering. Inside she saw Celene, she had changed into a new outfit, the one she wore to battle hanging up, showing it's battle scars. Briala smiled, Celene was thankfully in perfect health, her wounds had been superficial and easily healed.
'They worked miracles with my injuries too...I actually thought I was going to die.' She recalled.
Shaking her head she approached Celene who spoke without turning around.
"I said I didn't want to be disturbed until it was time to pack up and leave."
Briala grinned. "Well that makes me happy, now I know we won't have anyone walk in on us."
Celene spun around, eyes wide, but then smiled upon seeing the Elf woman.
Briala couldn't help but enjoy how she still managed to surprise Celene, to be possibly the only person who could.
"Briala...I'm glad you made it." Celene said softly. "I thought you should know, I've already prepared for our next step."
Briala raised an eyebrow, moving closer to Celene. "Our next step?"
The Empress nodded. "Yes...things need to change, not just in Orlais, but all of Thedas, and these new lands too. Essos, Westeros, things need to change for all, human, dwarf, elf...everyone. We need to reach an accord."
"We certainly do." Briala agreed with a wide smile.
Seeing her smile made Celene's widen as she then moved closer, pulling Briala too her. Briala let herself melt into the kiss that followed, her arms snaking around Celene. Secure in knowledge that Celene had ensured they would not be disturbed. Finally, after so long, in ways should understand or begin to explain. Briala felt that she was at peace.
End of chapter and of Briala's storyline, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
Well, this will be my last pre-Christmas chapter, the remaining six chapters of this story will be done starting the 26th, right through to the end of the year. Tomorrow there will be no uploads as today, despite trying it, I couldn't get a good Christmas themed story. Anyway, that's all from me for the uploads until the 26th, so, Merry Christmas all :)
