Finding Love No Matter The Cost

by Genesis Vakarian

Cheesy title I know, but this is DA Awakenings. Nathaniel Howe and my OC Xena who is a city elf that he fell in love with. And what if he was given the choice of marrying her instead of becoming a Warden? Read stories by GirlyGeek. Some chapters will be a T and others M. Not for anyone under eighteen years of age. You have been warned. My idea while playing the DLC for Origins. AU.

6. Chapter 6

"Before I continue on with the story, I must say this. I never truly knew my clan because they were wiped out by humans save for me because I was just a new born who was raised by a city elf who worked as a groundskeeper for the Howes" said Xena.

"But, at least, that's how Nate and I met. As children while I was off doing my chores and such." The scribe nodded as she stopped for a few moments while tearing up since she remembered her childhood love as she was raised and and been reunited with him before the Darkspawn killed everyone at the Vigil's Keep.

"And thank the Maker that he was captured and safe at the time of our first children, Seranna and Ridoren."

"Anyway, the Warden commander dealt with the rabble by calming them down and convincing them that they'll be able to get things that they needed the most of."

And yet, looking back upon my time recording her story, I can now say that their love was true. But now, back to the story. Xena took a sip of water before continuing on with her memory. "About a month later, Anders was tending to me because of the fact that I was having some trouble with the baby inside the womb and he was a spirit healer which made things easier for us both."

"As I was gaining weight, I knew that somehow, I was bearing twins, a boy and a girl as you have recorded their names earlier."

I've been writing this as best as I could and there are times when she needed to tend to one of her grandchildren or one of her great grandchildren. But as of yet, we have not gotten to where we've spoken of the drake that is as much a part of her somehow. Back to her story

"Meanwhile, while the commander and her small group were within the fade, trying to get back home, Nathaniel and Anders both chose to remain at Vigil's Keep so they could keep an eye on me and the others living there as well. There was a master stonesmith who lived on the surface and mended some doors down in the cellars so that we wouldn't be facing another attack from the darkspawn from the tunnels that were closed off."

"But, everyone was afraid of another attack from the outside when the Mother sent her minions to kill us all off. So, all the women with rather young children and who were pregnant were taken into the tunnels to be protected. But I knew that it was time as did Nathaniel and together, he and Anders helped me deliver the twins, Seranna and Riordan."
