Disclaimer: I dont own DA characters. Fun fact: I was going to write about an Ice Dragon, but as I dug more into the lore, I saw an opportunity I had to take. I have so many fics in the works already that I wasn't too sure if I should attempt this but sod it all, let's do it! Currently homeless while writing this. It helps. I have Cerebral Palsy which hinders writing so I try to tell a story with a few words as possible.
I woke to a place and a body that was not my own, with memories I never had crashing down upon me like a tsunami. The sights and smells were foreign. Speaking of smells, something stank.Just where the hell was I? I tried to open my eyes, yet my body disobeyed. I could instantly tell I was not in my body because this one felt heavy and just…. wrong. With a mental sigh, I settled for sleep and hoped tomorrow would be better. Maybe, this was all a dream.
This world was not mine either, but it looked familiar somehow. The sky was green which was odd yet soothing. I rose from my place and immediately, I stumbled back onto the ground. I was too heavy; I shouldn't have been; I've been following a strict diet for months! I looked down, fully expected to see the new shoes I had just bought yesterday, but no. I had fucking talons! The hell?! I opened my mouth to scream, but a powerful roar came out instead. I'm a fucking dragon. I do not know how to handle this. How the hell did this happen and why?
I surveyed the area, marveling at both my new keen eyesight and the surroundings. There were colored mist like things coming closer to me, along with something bigger. What even? This time, I got up at a slower pace while trying to adjust to this new form. This body felt wrong but strong, yet it also felt right. This was not the skin I had been born into, but this body felt so liberating yet terrifying. Dragons had always been written as dangerous beasts so why were everyone and their mother closing in on her? The number of things approaching had increased and closed in fast. 'Stay away!' Another roar instead.
"We have not seen one of your kind here in many ages." a soft voice spoke as it closed the gap.
Naturally, I was sure as hell startled by a talking mist thing and shrieked as I backpedaled and tripped over my feet.
"Be at ease, Ancient One, lest you attract demons." another added.
Hold up, demons? I tilted my head to indicate confusion.
"You do not know where you are? This is the Fade, the realm of spirits." the first one said gently.
Oh my fucking god. The Fade. This only meant one thing: I was somehow isekai'd to fucking Thedas!
