"Let us charge then, Marius." Cassandra nodded at the young man, Marius, and began walking towards the gate as Clemencia's steps were pacing up and in a matter of seconds she was right behind her older sister. "Cassandra!" she called and grabbed Cassandra's musculed arm. She felt her sister stiffen at the sound of a familiar voice and turned around, disbelief in her eyes. "Clemencia Lucretia Pentaghast, what is the meaning of this?!" Her deep voice was raising and that made the younger sister take a step back and lower her arm.
She opened her mouth to speak but the older Pentaghast stopped her. "What in Andraste's name are you doing here? I thought I told Cullen to make sure you stayed in the Chantry!" Her gaze was getting dangerously angry but that didn't have the same effect on Clemencia as it did on others anymore. She was used to it, always getting yelled at for being a rebellious youngster. "I couldn't just stand back without knowing what was going on Cassandra! I was worried about you!" The girl fought back as she lowered her hood. There was silence for a few seconds and during that time her gaze met Marius'. His eyes widened, his crystal blue orbs examining her, realising how pretty Lady Clemencia was, now that she had taken off her hood.
"You need to stop deceiving my orders Clemencia! It is dangerous here, I cannot protect you!" Clemencia's eyebrows lowered as she clenched her fists "I don't need protection Cassandra! I know how to fight and how to handle my bow, you know that!" She yelled back at her older sister, her eyes pleading for her approval. "Let me fight by your side Cassandra, let me." Cassandra lowered her gaze and fixed her posture. Her lips slowly parted and she sighed. "I'm sorry Clemencia. This time, you're staying here. No further discussion." Clemencia felt her heart ache at her sister's rejection and she just stood there, staring blankly at the ground.
Cassandra sighed for once more and turned around to leave. Varric and Solas were already outside the camp but Marius was still standing still, looking at the hurt girl. Cassandra stiffened when she looked at him and lightly slapped the back of his head. He almost fell down from the shock and he looked at her, obviously a little scared. "Move." She ordered and he instantly obliged. Before the gates shut behind them, Marius looked at Clemencia for a brief moment, and so did she. She was still a little confused about the young boy, who was he and what was he doing with Cassandra, Varric and Solas? Why was he fighting and not her? He seemed just as young as her and that annoyed her.
She sighed and tried to think of a way to follow her sister and her companions. Then she remembered; she once heard Leliana telling her troops about a secret passage through the forward camp, something like a moving stone ... While she was thinking of that, her eyes examined the tall walls of the camp, until she found what she was looking for. "Yes!" she murmured and looked around, making sure nobody was looking at her, then made her way towards the wall. She examined it a little more before attempting to push it and in her surprise it actually moved. She pushed it until the gap was big enough for her to fit and then she exited the camp. She pushed it back inside before standing up and putting her hood back on.
She moved quickly, trying to catch up with Cassandra and she did so in no time. She saw her fighting some demons, things she had never seen before. She felt her heart race, she was getting a little scared by those things but she was determinded to fight. By her side laid a dead man, a mage. She didn't think twice before 'borrowing' his cloak in order to hide herself from Cassandra. She removed hers and put the raven one on, hiding her face and hair with the hood. She grabbed her bow and began fighting the demons alongside the Inquisition troops. The demons fell easier than she thought, they were good practise for her aiming and attack speed.
Her gaze fell on Marius, the young man was about to be attacked. "Watch out!" She called at him but it would be too late until he realised what was going on. She grabbed a dagger from her belt and threw it towards the demon, stabbing it right between the eyes. The demon dissappeared into the shadows and Clemencia was now standing right in front of the boy. Since she was that close, he realised who it was. "I thought your sister told you not to come." he commented and she tightened the grip on her bow. "That's none of your bussiness. Just try to not get yourself killed." she spoke and pushed onward with the troops.
Then she saw it. The rift that summonned the demons. She was confused, wondering what that thing could be and how it got there. Before she could think of anything else, she saw the young boy moving closer to the rift and holding out his hand towards it. A green light emerged from his palm that connected him to the rift, which dissappearead seconds later. She was standing there, lips apart, staring at him. 'Did he just do what I saw he did?' she questioned herself and swallowed. She had a lot of questions to make afterwards, back at Haven.
The troops were now gathered around the Breach, something that brought back the fear Clemencia was feeling earlier. It felt as if it would swallow them all. She hid behind some soldiers, watching Cassandra and the others closely. "Let's do this then." Marius took a deep breath as him, Varric, Solas and Cassandra climbed down towards the rift. Clemencia followed them, hiding behind the archers. Cullen and Leliana were also there, awaiting for the rest of them. The young Pentaghast climbed down, now staring at the rift before her, the color of it maching the color of her orbs.
It grew bigger as it began summoning something... Something big... She tightened the grip on her bow and felt herself tense at what was now standing before her. Something enormous and fearsome...
She stared at the Pride Demon as it stared back at her...
