Alnifena's eyes closed in a slow blink while she looked at the spirit, before turning her attention to the Elvhen god of rebellion.

He just said Fen'harel is Solas…..Mother told me Solas is my father…

Fen'harel stared back at Alnifena almost in equal shock, then as if hesitant to touch her she felt his aura prod at her own. As if he were testing for similarities. Her eyes narrowed at the immortal and she allowed a spark of lightning to fill her aura shocking his when he brushed against her aura again. He drew back with a mild glare directed at the young elf.

"My you are your mother's daughter. She was always full of stinging needles anytime someone touched her aura." He informed her.

Alnifena glared at him in return. Though her lips did quirk slightly as he is correct. Any time a mage so much as brushed Fern's aura with their own in anyway she shocked them. Crossing her arms, she eyed the immortal elf and felt the anchor on her hand spark before shying from green to blue.

It turned blue when a spirit was reaching out to her. This spirit felt different from Valor or any of the others she called friend. It felt a lot like…..compassion. Alnifena turned slightly and noticed it was Cole reaching out to her.

"You should return to Skyhold with your daughter Fen'harel. Take the time to get to know her and see the Inquisitor once more. Your mission has been on hold for so long now surely it can wait a few more days." Cole said.

Solas eyed the spirit dubiously before giving his agreement with a small nod. Alnifena turned and gave a whistle. Ronnove came at a run down the mountain where he'd moved to higher ground looking for more grass.

He slowed to a stop and butted his head against the Mateo's chest sending him staggering back to avoid Ronnove's antlers. Cole turned to the Mateo then his expression screaming innocence while his eyes were wide and curious.

"He is angry with you for following his mistress into the fade as you put her in danger as well as yourself. Also, the horse you borrowed from the farmers returned to where it belonged." Cole informed Mateo.

Mateo stared at Cole in shock and staggered back reaching for his sword. Cole nearly leaped back in shock as Alnifena's staff caught the blade and pulled forcing the blade to lodge in the staff. She glared at Mateo and twisted away pulling his sword from his hands.

Solas stared in shock as he watched the girl move as if she were as trained for combat as the Templar's were. Yet instead of having the ability to suppress magic she has magic.

"That thing is a demon! He shouldn't be human outside the fade!" Mateo cried.

Alnifena's gaze darkened further at Mateos words and the blade at the end of her staff kissed his throat. Her eyes were shards of ice. Solas was mildly curious as Ferns eyes were often warm no matter the situation and he had a dreamers gaze regardless of his mood.

His daughter's eyes though…left him rather...terrified. He watched from his place beside Cole as his child advanced on the suddenly wary Mateo the anchor on her hand sparking and crackling in her anger.

"He is as far from a demon as I am. He IS a spirit of compassion that worked with my mother during her fight against Corypheus, and if you so much as attempt to touch him she will bring the void down on your head." she snapped.

Cole watched in awe as she stood up to Mateo for him. Her aura was roiling with anger like a thunderstorm. But her heart held a lot of pent up sadness and frustration. She felt she had to take everyone else's problems onto her shoulders.

She held up her mother when she received word of her clans death when she was six years old. Cole felt drawn to the girl for reasons he didn't understand, however, unlike Solas he wasn't afraid to leap and take the chance.

Mateo stammered and apologized rather quickly. The larger group began to make its way back to Skyhold. Mateos and mercenaries were more wary of attacking now that Alnifena was no longer traveling alone.

Instead of beginning the trek to Skyhold as Solas and Cole expected, she instead turned toward further into the Frostbacks. Neither felt the need to question her as they would learn what she was doing soon enough. They had learned to not question a different location before returning to Skyhold from her mother.
