The Anti-Hero's Savior: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

At first, I was not sure what had just happened. I raised my hand from my abdomen and was shocked to see it was covered in blood, I had been shot. It all felt like a movie, like at any moment a director would call cut. As I fell to the ground the world had seemed to slow down. I saw all the other patrons, men, women, and children, all watching in horror as my body went limp. I hadn't realized my body hit the floor when I turned and saw the shooters waving their guns around yelling. I couldn't quite hear anything as my heartbeat was the only thing my mind could register.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the pain overtook my senses as the heat radiated through my body. So, this is what it was like to die, to finally meet your end. I never thought that something like this would happen to a shut-in like me. My only regret is that I didn't do more with my life. The room was starting to fade to black and all the commotion that was around me was loud for only a moment before it too started to fade as well.

It was cold and dark wherever I was, this must be the afterlife that everyone is so afraid of. Honestly, now that I was here it was not so bad. It was not like I had any family left that cared from me, or any friends that would mourn my death, I had just hoped that I could have done more with my time, make a difference in someone else's life, I guess that is all over now.

"Who said that it was over for you?" A strange but powerful voice called through the void.

"I'm dead, what else is there for me?" I answered back to the voice.

"You still have the chance to make a difference, however it will be a great challenge, and you may not be able to accomplish it. Would you still accept it if even if those things were to happen?"

That was a strange question but, to have another chance at life and one where I can help, that was something I wanted more than anything.

"Yes, yes I want another chance."

"Then so be it, make this count."

Before I could ask any other questions, a small white light began to appear in the distance. It grew in size and was hurling towards me faster than I could fathom. I raised my arms to cover my eyes as the light blinded me and then.....

"Hey, you, kid, you better not be buzzard food, it will cost me if the law found out about someone dyin' under my care."

Where was I, why did it smell like a mixture of fresh cut grass and what was that? I sniffed the air carefully not to overload my sense of smell. My eyes spring open just as I sit myself up rather quick ready to throw up in the nearest clear direction. That was manure, a very pungent smell of manure. The last time I smelled anything like that was when I was a child living in a trailer house near a farm before my parents got divorced.

"Well, it looks like you ain't dead yet. You best hurry and get yourself busy before I send you to the pit."

I looked up and saw an older woman dressed like that of a nun back in the 1800's. Then it all came crashing back to me, I was in the 1800's. I was born here in Blackwater where I have spent the last seven years of my life under the eyes of Mother Helena, the woman who looked after the poor children who parents could not take care of them or didn't want them. I was climbing a tree with Thomas, as we decided to take a break from all the washing that we had to do. But I had miss stepped and came tumbling down. I hit my head so hard that my past life came back to me, as if it had just happened only moments ago.

I look up at the tree and see branch where I was supposed to step safely but, there was no branch there. There was a huge gap in the tree where I had placed my foot. I could have sworn that when I was climbing, I had grabbed that very branch to hoist myself up. I shake the thought from my head and pick myself off the ground.

"I'm sorry Mother Helena, I was just hoping to take a break from the washing, it was just too beautiful out."

Mother Helena looked at me suspiciously before gesturing me back to the building. I ran like my life depended on it and quite frankly it did. Mother Helena was not known for her kindness despite being a nun if some renown. The kids that were under her care were known for being one with the Lord, though we didn't have much choice in that matter.

As I get back to the orphanage, I make my way back to down to the cellar where the rest of the children are, washing and folding all the laundry that people would drop off for the nuns to take care of. I think the people knew that the children were the ones doing all the work but in typical old western thinking, they turned a blind eye. Most children here were beaten in some way shape or form but as Mother Helena would say, it builds character.

"I'm real sorry I left ya Alaine, I just didn't want to get in trouble with Mother Helena again." Timothy whispered to me.

Timothy was long and skinny, not a lot of meat on him. His hair was red like a fire, and deep green eyes the shade of grass. He was handsome in his own way, but he was ultimately a coward and not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

"It's alright, if I were you, I would have done the same." I lied.

"Well, hey I found somethin' that you might like while the mother was out. If you want, I can fetch it to you later?"

"Yeah, I would like that very much."

Timothy was at least good at one thing is he had quick hands. He could steal you blind before you even realized that he was there. He rarely used this gift of his but when he did, it was usually to get something for someone else. I have had him show me how to do it but, thanks to my dress and shoes it was hard to maneuver in the same was that he does.

******

That night when it was quiet and everyone else was asleep, Timothy came and sat in bed with me.

"Here, this is for you."

Timothy reached around to the back of his pants and pulled out a leather book. I looked at in confusion for as far as he knew, I couldn't read. That was the case, but I find that getting my memories back helped remember how to read and write. I took the book from his hands and when I opened it, I was surprised to find that it was empty.

"I know that you can't read but, I saw you drawing and thought that you would like this so you know, you could practice."

"Thank you, Timothy, I really like it." I gave him a hug and shooed him to his own bed.

As I lay in bed I thought about the voice that rang in my ears when I was in that black void. I was here to make a difference but how was I supposed to do that when I was only a child. You would think if I was going to be thrown into a new life that I would take over the body of an adult or something like that but here I was, a small helpless little girl. There must have been a reason that I was put in this time and was actually born into it.

"Alright Alaine, think, where and when are you?"

It was the year 1879 and I was in a town called Blackwater. Blackwater, why did that name sound familiar, was it something that I learned about in history class in my previous life, or was it a place I visited? I thought back on my memories of my past life and at first it was a little fuzzy but when I concentrated hard on the name Blackwater, it began to clear. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, I was in my all-time favorite game, Red Dead Redemption 2! Blackwater was the town that Dutch, and his gang reside before the events of the second game.

How could I not have forgotten something like this? It was the one thing that kept me sane through the entire 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. I had spent thousands of hours playing and uncovering the secrets of the game. That's when I knew, if I was here to make a difference in this world, then there was only one reason that I was brought here, to save Arthur Morgan.

Dragon Age: Dark Age Chapter 3 (Edited)

Cullen paced back and forth as he waited for Evelyn to be ready and bring Alyndra to the throne room. It was her name day and all nobles from far and wide made it to Alyndra's name day. Only a week had passed since Alyndra was born and it was nothing but chaos. Josephine had a handle of most of the planning but of course Cullen and Evelyn had to make many of the decisions. Josephine made sure to remind Cullen how important this was as it was their first ball since they were named Tyern and Tyreness. All the nobles would be gathered at Skyhold to welcome Alyndra.

Finally, he sees Evelyn exiting the door to their chambers. "She looks so beautiful," he thought to himself. She wore a beautiful royal blue dress that was long-sleeved with a velvet touch. A light blue sash with a gold broch hung around her waist, and a gold circlet crown wrapped her beautiful chocolate brown hair. It was still hard for Cullen to get used to the fact the Evelyn wears more dresses than she does her Outerwear she wore during the age of the Inquisition.

Evelyn hooked her arm through Cullen’s and carried Alyndra in her other. This would have been impossible but there was a mage that was able to somehow give Evelyn back her arm after the mark was removed. They did not know who this mage was as they never saw her face, but were grateful all the same. 

As they approached their thrones, Josephine announced the Rutherford family. Evelyn placed little Alyndra into a beautiful ivory and gold crib, a gift from the King and Queen of Fereldan. 

"Everyone, if you could please gather so that we may commence the name day ceremony. "

Everyone became quiet as Josephine bowed and gestured to Cullen and Evelyn. They stood to address the assembly hand in hand. 

" On this day the Maker and Andraste have smiled and blessed us with a  beautiful baby girl." Evelyn says beaming with happiness.

" On this name day we ask that each of you pay your loyalties to the new lady of the Rutherford household. Today we would like to introduce to you Lady Alyndra Rutherford, Heiress to the land of Skyhold." 

Everyone applauded and  began to come forth to present their many gifts the little lady. Most were extravagant dresses, jewelry, toys and even betrothal offers to some of the most esteemed families. Some of them Cullen recognized from when he had received the same request at the Winter Palace during the civil war negotiations. Cullen knew that as soon as the festivities were over these requests would be kindling for their fire. Many of the lower class citizens gave them food, animals, and anything that they could bring abundance to their land. 

Then the King of Fereldan made his way to meet Alyndra along with the Queen and their son and only heir Prince Duncan. The prince would not have been born had it not been for the help of a group of Grey Warden mages wanting to give a gift to the new King and his Queen. One of the mages sacrificed their life so that the Warden Queen could conceive a child. Unfortunately for the King and Queen they did not have a choice in the matter as they had performed the ritual before they were to face Alistair and his Queen. For the mages they were given their lives but were sentenced to fight in the Deep Roads to pay for their crimes as Blood Magic was still outlawed despite Mages gaining the freedom they had always wanted. 

Alistair was the first to look upon Alyndra and the first thing he did was to make faces and coo at her so that she would laugh. However, her big blue eyes were locked on to Duncan as the Queen held him. When the Queen lowered Duncan to Alyndra, both babies began to laugh and look as if they were trying to play. 

"Our congratulations on your daughter's name day. You are welcome to come to Denerim should you require anything and know that our doors are always open to you and your family."

" Thank you, your Majesties, we are deeply honored for your consideration."

They bow to the King and Queen as they head back into the crowd to mingle with their people. 

As the festivities continued on and the nobles were almost done with giving their gifts, a dark black smoke began to fill the floor of the throne room. Everyone became quiet and watched as a woman dressed in a black dress  with silver elvan trimming sauntered into the throne room. She was tall and pale as the moon, eyes black like the night sky and red lips the color of blood. 

" How quaint, a little brat gets more respect than that of a Goddess." she said with an evil grin.

Cullen drew his sword as he stood in front of Evelyn as she grabbed Alyndra to protect her. The soldiers of Skyhold and the Kings guard surround the mysterious woman. Alistair, the Queen and Duncan hurried beside Cullen and his family. Alistair also drew his sword as the Queen kept her hand on her hip where her sword was holstered.

" Who are you! What do you want?" Cullen yells at the woman.

"You really have no idea who I am, do you? My name is Andruil, Goddess of the Hunt and it was my instruction to find both the King and the Lion of Fereldan.” She said with an evil hiss to her voice.

" There is no way you are Andruil, all the Elven Gods were locked away in the vail that separates us and the Fade." Said Evleyn as she cradled her daughter.

" Yes that was true, but Fen'Harel has freed some of us. We are here to make sure that there will be no resistance in tearing down the veil and here we will find the key to release my family." 

Just as she had finished her sentence a wave of shadows that looked like people made their way through the crowd killing many of the nobles. Screams filled the throne room as the soldiers charged on Andruil and the slaughter began. Alistair yelled for the Queen and Duncan to run away as him and Cullen engaged the shadow warriors. They managed to escape off to the side as they were not the prime target of Andruil. Evelyn tried to run away as well but was stopped by the shadows. 

Andruil made her way through the crowd of scared people trying to make their way out of the keep. She did not care for the young people she only cared for Cullen and Alistair as they were her biggest game she was commanded to kill. Cullen and Alirstair fought the shadow people to protect Evelyn and Alyndra as there was nowhere they could escape. Andruil dissipated into nothing and then appeared behind Evelyn. 

Evelyn turned around and then instantly felt a sharp searing pain spread throughout her abdomen. She looked down only to see an elvish dagger buried deep into her flesh. Andruil smiled as she took a screaming and crying Alyndra from her arms. Upon hearing his daughter's screams Cullen turned around to see Evelyn fall to the ground, blood pooling around her body. Cullen tried to rush to his wife's side but was dragged out by the last of the guards knowing that their lady and her child were dead.

Dragon Age: Dark Age Chapter 2 (Edited)

Long were the months that passed as all of Fereldan waited for the arrival of the new baby of Teyrness Rutherford. In fact, it brought new friends to help them with all the chaos that was about to erupt with a new noble baby. Josephine had made her way back to Skyhold as if she had never left. She had left to help her family with all the new trade that was being circulated after Evelyn was able to help Josephine get trade in Ferelden. She was once again the ambassador that was going to handle all the affairs that came with having an heir. Countless betrothal requests were coming in for baby Rutherford even though they were not sure if was a boy or girl. With the Teyrn being so new there was much to organize and facilitate that Josephine was eager to help with.

As the days grew closer to the arrival of the new baby, many came in the hopes that they could at least greet their new lord or lady as well as pay respects to the new Teyrn and his wife as there had not been a proper ceremony since Cullen and Evelyn had become the higher nobility of Fereldan. Evelyn had been very sick throughout her pregnancy, and many feared for her life and the life of their unborn child. So, it was directed by many healers that she remains in bed and or not doing anything too strenuous in order to keep her and the baby safe. Cullen was left to deal with nobles, land squabbles, and anything else that would be required of Evelyn as she was the only one that had experience in the matter.

Cullen loathed each and every day as he had to listen to the pettiness of many. He knew he was not cut out for this but if it meant Evelyn and his child would live then he had no issue with it. Or rather he was less inclined to get up and leave in the middle of the meeting. Many days he would imagine helping with the soldiers that were under his command again, but Josephine was always there to bring him back to reality reminding him that this was all for his family.

It was a bright morning on the morning of 9:48 Dragon and Cullen have already had his fill for the day of politics. Vivienne, who was the first mage who volunteered to help with Evelyn and the baby’s health promptly came downstairs to lean into Cullens ear and whisper, “It's time."

Cullens eyes open wide as he nods to the guards and at Josephine to clear the throne room.

"I must take my leave as a very important matter needs my attention." As he stands up and bows out.

He nods one last time at Josephine to take over and without seeming to be in too much of a hurry he heads up to Evelyn's chambers.

As he makes his way up the stairs, he hears the words "Push, push!" As he heard this along with the moans and cries of his wife, he froze.

He didn't know if he wanted to go into the room. How can he see her in that much pain? He had almost lost her twice in the span of three years, what if he loses her today?

" I need Cullen, where is he?" She asked as she pushed through the pain.

" He should be on his way, my lady."

With that, he knew he needed to be by her side. He hurried the rest of the way up to their chambers and saw her on the bed pushing as the midwife was looking under the sheets to preserve her modesty. As soon as he saw her he hurried to her side and offered his had that Evelyn was all happy to take.

"It's alright I am here now." He said as he moved her now long hair out of her face.

****

Hours passed and Evelyn was barely making any progress. She was exhausted and it was beginning to look grim. Evelyn was growing pale and even the healers knew that the baby was not going to hold on much longer. Cullen dropped his head and prayed to Andraste and the maker for help.

"Maker please, don't let it end like this. I have been faithful; I have fought for so long in your name. Please if I could ask for one thing, it would be to save my wife and my child, please."

Then a light caught his attention. He looked up in a swift motion and what he saw looked almost like the bright silhouette of a woman. Just as fast as it appeared if it flashed towards Cullen and Evelyn. He closed his eyes and held his arm up to shield his eyes from the bright light. When he opens them, the light is gone, and Evelyn begins to scream in pain. The healer quickly lifts the blanket over her and looks stunned.

"Listen, the baby's head is halfway out. I need you to push hard my lady, push like your life depends on it."

Evelyn nods her head, understanding what she needs to do. With the next contraction, she pushes with all her might lifting half her body up to help. Then she falls back onto the bed. A moment of silence that seemed to last far too long, when finally, a baby's cries filled the room. Cullen let out a breath not realizing that he had been holding it.

"It's a girl!" The midwife exclaims as she wipes off the girl and hands her to Evelyn.

"Thank the Maker, she's alright, you are alright." exclaimed Cullen as he kissed Evelyn's head.

The baby was placed in Evelyn’s arms and as soon as the baby was against her chest she immediately calmed and began to root. Evelyn moved her tunic off to the side and the baby was able to latch onto Evelyn's nipple to be fed.

As the healers made sure that they would be alright they left the new family to bond. Cullen stroked his child's head gently and then kissed the top of Evelyn’s as he saw that the color finally returned to her face.

“I thought I had almost lost you.”

“I was so afraid, Cullen. I was so afraid that the baby was not going to make it, but then it was like a burst of energy entered my body and I was able to push through it. I am not sure what happened.

Cullen was shocked as he realized that Evelyn had not seen the woman or the light just before the baby was born. He didn’t know what to make of it and would be asking around later, but right now he was just relieved that who ever it was helped save his wife and child.

“Would you like to hold her?” Evelyn asked looking up at Cullen.

He reaches out to his daughter and then pulls back. " I have never held a baby before.” It was true as even though he had nieces and nephews, he never held them. He only got to meet them when Evelyn forced him to go and visit his family.

"It's alright, I will help you."

Cullen gives Eveyln an unsure look. She slightly nudges him to hold their daughter when he finally takes the little girl slowly into his arms.

"Mind her head," Evelyn says.

Cullen looked down at his daughter and everything in the world seemed to stop. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. She was so small and fragile, yet it took so much for her to come into this world. The Maker and Andraste answered his prayers. He began to sway her back and forth smiling as she seemed to fall asleep in his arms.

"What should we name her?" Asks Cullen.

"Well, I was thinking about Alyndra."

"That is a beautiful name. What is it from?"

"It was my grandmother's name."

Welcome to the world my little lady. Alyndra.

Dragon Age: Dark Age (Edited)

It had been four years since the Inquisition was dissolved and there still had been no sign of Solas or the missing elves from many of the Alianeges. Not even Leliana knows where they might have disappeared to. Without any leads as to any unrest with the Elven community Cullen Rutherford and his Bride, Evelyn Trevelyn returned to Skyhold after being away for a year visiting Cullen's family. Cullen wanted to return immediately back to Skyhold but was forced to stay by Evelyn since he had not seen his family for many years.

Even though the Inquisition was dissolved It was home to many that were in the ranks of the army. It even became for a handful of Evelyn's companions. Sera stuck around still running with the Red Jenny group. In fact,she was declared Red Jenny since she was the one that they seemed to report to after she joined the Inquisition. Then there was Iron Bull who found solace in the stone walls of the Inquisition after he was declared Tal Vashoth and was no longer part of the Qun. He spent most his days trying to learn what to do with his life now that it was a time of peace. Of course the chargers stayed with Iron Bull as well as they were more his family then anyone else. Iron Bull and hus Chargers would occasionally take on Mercenary work as long innocents were not getting hurt in the crossfire of their work. Lastly, here was Cole. When he had returned from the Winter Palace, had married the bard Maryden. Together they would travel Thedas and preform for many nobles and royalty. When they were not traveling however they called Skyhold home.

Cullen and Evelyn were finally beginning to relax and call Skyhold home when a messenger came saying that they were summoned by King Alistair and the Warden Queen to discuss the future of Skyhold and its people. For many Skyhold had become home and this summons was an ominous warning that they were all about to be thrown out by the crown as it was still considered to many within the Kingdom, a dangerous threat. Even though they had made this journey many times, this one seemed to be the longest. It felt like years had passed by the time they had made it to the capital. Since the time of the last blight, Denerim had grown larger and its walls seemed to almost have grown taller. Fereldan had flourished under the rule of King Alistair and the Warden Queen. That was very clear as the castle was no longer a small meager size.

As the carriage stopped in front of the castle doors Evelyn were surprised to see King Alistair waiting for them.

"Thank you for making this journey but it is important that we address one remaining from the disband of the Inquisition. So if you please follow me I will escort you to the throne room.”

“King Alistair, if I may ask, why did a person of such importance such as yourself greet us instead of someone else?”

King Alistair stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face Evelyn. “If I am being perfectly honest it was getting kind of stuffy in there and” he paused looking side to side “the cheese ran out.”

Cullen rolled his eyes as Evelyn let out a small chuckle. If there was one thing that King Alistair was known for it was that he was not a very serious person. Once they had made it to the throne room, Evelyn and Cullen were surprised to see that every noble in the kingdom had gathered as well as some of the common people.

King Alistair continued on to sit next to the Warden Queen who was holding Prince Duncan who was still a small baby. Standing next to the King and Queen was Arl Teagan, advisor to the throne. He was the one that called for the disband of the Inquisition. If he was here that would only mean trouble to the future of Skyhold.

“Now that the quests of honor are here we can now begin the Landsmeet.” King Alistair proclaimed.

" I hear that congratulations are in order. I am told that you Evelyn Trevelyan, and you Commander Rutherford were married in secret at the Winter Palace?” Arl Teagen asked with no expression on his face.

"Yes my lord, that is true. With everything that was going on at the Winter Palace we decided that it was better to do it in secret." Evelyn replied to Arl Taegan.

"Now as it stands Evelyn of house Trevelyan it would be wise to say that, that makes Commander Cullen here of Noble blood is that correct?" Asked King Alistair'

"Yes, that is your highness."

"Good, this will make things much easier. As it stands Skyhold was once home to the Inquisition and now it is occupied by those who still call it home and have nowhere else to go. Even though they were disbanded we must acknowledge that in a time of crisis they were the ones that saved all of Thedas. If such event we must reward the Commander and Lady Trevelyan for their heroic efforts. I say that sky hold is to become officially are accepted as one of the noble houses, as Teyrn and Teyrness of Skyhold. Shall we bring this to a vote?”

One by one all of the Nobles of their regions voted “aye” in favor of Evelyn and Cullen joining the Teyrnirs of Ferelden and not a single “ney” was heard. Even Arl Teagan was one of the many aye’s that was heard.

“Then it is settled. Please come forward Lady and Lord Rutherford.”

Cullen made a slight groan as they approached the king. He was still not quite used to hearing lord in front of his name.

“Will you please help me with this, my Queen?” Alistiar asked as he stood up.

“I would love to, my King.”

“Please come and kneel before us.”

Evelyn and Cullen approached the King and Queen and kneeled before them. Alistair and the Warden pulled their swords out of the sheaths that the servants held out to them.

“By the power invested in me I name you Teyrn and Teyrness of Skyhold. May you uphold the sacred laws and duties that are bestowed upon you. Now rise and greet your subjects.”

The throne room burst into applause and cheers. Both Cullen and Evelyn looked at each other and could not believe what they were hearing.

"You are now both Fereldans and have the responsibility of maintaining the laws and customs in which have been placed in keeping order. Today we celebrate with a feast in your honor." The warden Queen said as the cheers began to fade.

The feast was held for two days until it was time to get back to normal politics. Evelyn and Cullen shook hands with all those that were now looking at them to lead. It was going to be easier than trying to save all of Fereldan that was for sure. Now Cullen and Evelyn could not wait until they got back to share the new s with everyone even though they were already sure that word made it back to Skyhold.

As they were making their way back to Skyhold Evelyn fidgeted with her fingers looking nervous at Cullen.

“Cullen there is something that I have been wanting to talk to you about but with all that's been going on I just have not found the chance to be able to say anything.”

“What’s on your mind? I knew you seemed somewhat distracted these last few weeks.”

“Cullen, I’m pregnant.”

Dragon Age: Dark Age Chapter 4

Dorian guided Alyndra away from the tent so that the Commander and Duncan could speak in private. She had explained all that she knew about the Elven Gods but it was not much more than what was public knowledge. The Elven Gods were secretive even to her despite her being the best tool to use for those who disrespected them and the elves. As she was brought back to her tent she contemplated what was happening to her. IN one day she was taken from the only home that she knows and finds out that she is actually human and not an Elf.

She paced back and forth as a thousand different questions riddled her mind. If she was actually human then where was she born, where did she come from, and most importantly, who were her parents? There were so important as she had no idea that this was even possible. Although with the veil ripped open, almost anything was possible. She walked over to the mirror again to see what she looked like. She tried pinching herself to see if this was a dream, she rubbed her eyes to see if maybe she was hallucinating but no matter what she did it changed nothing. She was really human.

********

As Cullen watched Aneirin leave the tent he looked over to Duncan who looked just as frustrated as he felt. Then once the tent opening was closed, he sat down in his chair and looked at Duncan.

"That was a near-complete waste of time. She only knew what everyone else knew which is not very much." Cullen said.

"Well from the way it sounds they have been secretive with everyone in fears that they would be trapped in the fade again should someone know too much. Also,I wanted to ask you something."

" You never asked my permission before so what is stopping you this time?"

"Its just that, she looked an awful lot like the Herold did she not?"

This is what Cullen was afraid of. He should have rejoiced at this moment, he wanted to run to Aneirin and tell her everything but he didn't know how that would affect her. How was he supposed to tell her that she was his daughter. How was he supposed to break it to the men that the one person they all wanted to see dead was his flesh and blood. The only ones who would recognize her were all elsewhere gathering information and those who would join the rebellion. The only person that he could talk to about this, was Dorian.

Just as he thought about that Dorian walked into the tent with a rather serious face.

"Duncan, could you please give me and the Commander a moment?"

Duncan nodded and left the tent. As soon as he was out of earshot he began to yell at Cullen.

"What are we going to do about this Cullen, what are you going to do about this? If my eyes do not deceive me that it Alyndra, yours and the Herolds daughter. I thought she was killed along with Evelyn?" HE said not sure how to compose himself.

"I know Dorian, I was thinking about that the entire time she was in here. The second I saw her change into her human form, I thought it was a hallucination from the blood mage. Once she entered the tent again I knew that it was her. She has her mothers eyes."

"And she is also a spitting image of you, it wont be long before the men figure out who she is. Then they may turn against you thinking that you are siding with the Elven Gods. We need to do something about this quick before it gets out of hand."

" You dont think I thought of that? I want nothing more than to tell her who she is, I want nothing more than to embrace my daughter as it was her and her mothers death that started this whole rebellion. As of right now that is not my daughter as my daughter died the day my wife died. We need to come up with a plan before she decides to become less cooperative."

Dragon Age: Dark Age Chapter 6

"What do you mean she is not what she seems?" Both Cullen and Duncan asked at the same time.

"I can tell that there is some heavy magic radiating off this girl. I suspect that blood magic has been used."

Both Cullen and Duncan looked at each other when Duncan nodded his head to Cullen.

" Is there anything was can do to reverse what was done with her without blood magic?"

"There is however it will take too much time that we no longer have. I heard that Andruil and some of the elven gods are looking for her. I, for one, don't want to see if this elven goddess lives up to her name."

Cullen, Duncan and the other gentleman grouped and decided what to do. Cullen nodded and the other man left the tent. After a few minutes went by and the mysterious man walked in with what looked like a wanted mage. Alyndra recognized his face for being a rebellious sympathizer as he had been missing for months and was assumed to have joined the rebellion. He was known to dabble in blood magic which was still frowned upon even though the Elves took over.

"Untie her Dorian, and hold her still so that he can do what he needs to do. After that, his sentence will be carried out."

Dorian untied Alyndras hands from above her head and put them behind her back. Dorian had her kneel down so that the mage could work his spell. The mage cut his arm and a swirl of blood began to encircle Alyndra. Then everything started to hurt. Alyndras head felt like it was going to burst as the mage struggled to find what he was looking for. It was like he was trying to find the end of a tangled string to unravel all that was hidden or changed.

Finally, he was able to find the end and unraveled everything that was changed to make Aneirin. There was a burst of blood and light as the spell was released. Alyndra fell to the ground breathing heavily and barely concious. You could hear a pin drop as everyone waited to see if anything had happened. Then there was more change than any of them had expected.

Aneirin's hair began to change from a dark brown to a beautiful golden blonde color, her ears began to shrink from elf ears to normal human ears, and even the build of her body began to change by getting longer and a bit more muscular like that of a human. Slowly Alyndra began to open her eyes and when she did, they were a bright blue with a golden ring.  

She saw both Cullen and Duncan standing over her with distraught and confused faces. All she heard were muffled vocies before she passed out.

*******

When she awoke she was in a small tent and the man named Dorian was sitting next to her watching her. She felt dazzed and as if she was hit had by a Druffalo.

"It seems passing out is a habit for you." Dorian said as he swapped a damp rag for a cloder wet one.

"What happened to me? I feel very strange."

"Well lets just say you are now a completely different person."

Alyndra gave him a weird look and sat up quickly to find a mirror to look at herself in. There was a small mirror that was attached to a wash basin. when she saw herself in the mirror she was stunned. She touched her face and studied what she looked like. The biggest thing that she made her want to cry is that she was actually human. Growing up she always felt that there was something about her that did not feel right. Now she knew why.

As she looked at herslef there was also something else that she noticed had changed. She felt less angry. No matter what she did or where she was, there was always anger that would linger inside her. In fact it was fuled her to the assassin that she was, Her mother also encouraged her anger as well so that she always had a reason to kill rebels. Because she had felt this anger for so long it almost felt as if there were was a weight lifted off her shoulders.

She was in a trance till she noticed that she was no longer in the clothes that she was in previously. She was now in a white night gown that went down to her knees.

"How did I change into these clothes? What happened after I passed out?"

" We moved you here to recover and one of the ladies changed you so that you could rest eaisly. You have been through a lot and we figured we could get to questioning later. I have laid some new clothes on the bed for you, also if you try running, just know I have an enchantment on you that will keep you from leaving the camp, just in case you had any ideas."

Alyndra understood the predicament that she was in and agreed not to run. Through all the years that Alyndra had been an assassin she knew when she could not do anything. All she could do was plan and wait. Dorian left to let her get dressed and she she did, a million questions ran through her mind. Did her mother know that she was actually a human, if she did why did she not tell her, how did she turn into an elf anyway, if she was not an elf then who was she? This time a small amount of ander came back to but this time it was directed towards Andruil. There were too many questions that needed to be answered and she was the only one that had those answers,

Once she was dressed she left her tent where Duncan was waiting for her,

"Follow me." Duncan said as he started to walk away from the tent.

Alyndra followed Duncan over to a tent that was reletuvely bigger that the rest of the tents and in the middle of them. She figured that this was the Commanders tent. Duncan held open the fabric that acted as door to the tent for her to go in. When she went in, Commander Cullen was kneeling before a statue of Andraste, praying. She could not tell what he was saying only that he seemed desperate for some sort of answer.

Once he was dine praying he stood up and walked over to the portrait of the old Inquisitor and stared at her for a second. When he turned around and saw Alyndra he turned as white as a ghost. He didn't say anything for what seemed like an eternity till finally he cleared his throat and motioned for her to some closer.

"What do you know about the Elven gods?"

Dragon Age: Dark Age Chapter 5

There was something that was going on that her mother was not telling her. Alyndra had trained long enough to notice when there was unwelcomed guests. She did not cause a scene nor did she mention that there was anyone there for she did not want to cause a disturbance to let the intruder know that she was on to them.

"Mother, there are some intruders, should I eliminate them for you?" She said as she leaned down whispering into her mothers ear.

"No, what I want you to do is go into the crowd and wait. I have a plan."

Alyndra looked at her mother in confusion.

"Did you really think that I through this party without some sort of gain?"

Alyndra knew that there was no way that her mother was going to give her a party even after all this time. She walked out into the crowd and waited for the first strike. However there were so many people that it was hard to keep track of anything. As soon as she was in the crowd she was bumped into by a man in what looked like a farmer. Well worn with a ton of mud stains. There was also hay attached to the bottom of his legs. He must have been in one of the near farms. As walked past him she began to feel off. The feeling was almost as if she was walking through water. As she staggered just a bit she heard a man from somewhere in the crowd shout "Now!"

She perked up a little and saw a dozen men rushing her. Those that were not involved with the assault screamed and ran. These men wore the symbol of the old inquisition but with a lion encompassing the symbol. She knew that this was the rebellion that sought to end the rule of the elven gods and bring back the days of the chantry and to reclose the veil. She killed the first few that tried to get her and then she began to feel her reflexes slow. She knew that she had been spiked with some sort of potion. As she looked up fond the next attacker she saw that there was no one there sitting in on the throne.

Alyndra felt her heart drop as she knew that her mother ran from the fight and left her there to fight. That little piece of distraction was all the soldiers needed in order to take her down. Tackled her, took her weapons and held her down. She looked up and saw a man in a lion mask loom over her then, everything went black.

*******

Sometime later she woke up in a strange place. It was all blurry at first and then she could tell that she was in a tent somewhere out in what was once the Hinterlands. It was not much of a forest now since the fade and the waking world were not considered one with the veil being torn down. She tried to move her arms but they were tied above her head on a post. She struggled to get free but still lacked the strength to even hold herself up. She looked around to take in her surroundings. A desk was opposite of the entrance of the tent. It was made of a tree trunk with a flattened area with papers strewn about. Next to the desk was a bed roll and a chest and the foot of it. There was also a painting of a woman that was behind that desk. It looked as though it belonged in a castle or some nobles home. Yet there was something familiar about the woman in the painting. Her bright blue eyes reminded her of someone but could not think of who.

As she thought on it she heard someone enter the tent. She did not turn around, in fact, she waited until they were in front of her so that she may try and escape this place. she held down her head as if she were still sleeping and as she saw someone around the corner she kicked her legs up and around the neck of a young man. He grunted in pain as he fought to breath. Alyndra could feel her strength once again begin to fade. The man must of felt it too as he was able to get out, pull out a beautiful decorative knife and hold it to her throat. The looked at each other with furry but before the man could slit her throat an older man with blonde curly hair combed back came in and told the man to stand down.

"She tried to kill me sir!"

"Well just be happy that she was unable to and the potion that Dorian spiked her with worked."

The younger man put the blade away and walked over next to the older mans desk. This was the first time that she was able to actually look at the younger man. He was tall, had dirty blonde hair, and emerald green eyes. He looked very familiar too buy could not place where she had seen him before. As for the older man there was something about him that made her heart almost cry. He wore a armor that was wrapped in a red brown and gold cloth with some type of rur around his neck and arms. She didnt have to wait long to know who they were.

" My name is Commander Cullen of the resistance and this here is Duncan, My Lieutenant, and you are Aneirin the blade of Andruil." Cullen said as he looked her up and down.

" Well now I know who I have to kill in order to end this little rebellion in order to bring peace back to the land." Alyndra said already coming up with 10 different ways to kill them both.

"You think that you will get out of this alive? Once we get the information we need you will be put to death for your crimes." Duncan said furiously.

Just as Duncan looked as if he was about to kill her on the spot a man walked in with a bottle with a strange color that Alyndra had never seen before.

" Before there is any killing I think it would be best to get the information we need, no?"

Duncan stood down as the tall, tan, strangely handsome man gave Cullen was Alyndra could only guess was a truth potion or something like that. Before the man left he stopped and studied Alyndra. Then his eyes went wide and turned to both Cullen and Duncan,

"This girl is not what she seems."

Dragon Age: Dark Age Chapter 4

The years following the Harold of Andrastes death grew long and dark. All the lands that once belonged to Fereldan were now occupied by the elves and humans were now the slaves, for those who survived the purge. All the Elves were lead by Fen'Herel also know as Solas. He carried with him an ancient elven staff made of bone and raw lyrium. He used the staff along with thousands of mages across all of Thedas to power up his staff so that he may tear down the veil that separated the Fade from the waking world.

The first to fall was Orlais with the Death of Gaspard and Celene. Briala was killed in the chaos as she gave her life trying to save the woman she loved, Celene. Then Fereldan fell to Solas and soon to follow was Tevinter and the Free Marches. As the veil tore, all of the worlds were consumed by spirits both good and bad. Many cities were destroyed in the chaos and many humans were enslaved by the elves. They were treated as the elves had been treated for so long. Magic was free and had gone unchecked as templars were the hunted now.

Many of the Elven gods took over the thrones that the humans had. Andruil, in particular, took over Skyhold and of the lands that it once held. After she had killed Evelyn she took Alyndra as her own daughter. She grew up isolated from the world and was trained to be Andruil's personal assassin. Andruil had renamed her Aneirin so that she had no connection to the humans that once inhabited the world. With blood magic, Andruil changed the look of Alyndra. Her hair was changed to a pitch black color, her eyes changed to a very dark brown, and her ears were enlongated to look like that of an elf. Many great lengths were taken in order to cover Alyndra's identity.

Alyndra was rasied to be Andruils master hunter, others saw her as Andruils personal assassin. It was her job to find and hunt down anyone that opposed the Elven Gods that have taken the rule of the Thedas.

No would dare question the word of the Elven Gods as the were afraid of Aneirin the Blade of Andruil. However no one knew who Aneirin really was, they didnt know where she came from or her story as none were close to Andruil. There was only ever one person that knew anything about Aneirin was her Nan.

On a misty morning it was announced that on the follong eve people of the land were to gather for a special celebration for Aneirin. It was Aneirins 20th name day and all were to attend. This was unheard of as Andruil had never celebrated a name day for anyone. Many were very suspicious as to why these celebrations were being held. As for Alyndra it was her duty to attend no matrter haw she felt about it.

Alyndra stood looking out her window out to see many people coming in the gates to Skyhold. It had been namy years since there was a crowd at Skyhold. She felt cold and isolate as she watched every elf from all over the province pour in.

Nan knocked on the door but there was no answer. She cracked open the door and peeked through to see Alyndra staring out the window. She let her self in and laid fresh garments on the bed. She stood there in silence waiting hoping that Alyndra would notice her presence. After a minute or so of the deafening silence  Nan cleared here throat.

" Oh, I am sorry Nan I didnt hear enter." Alyndra said startled to see Nan standing at the foot of her bed.

"My lady I've brought your uniform as well as a your sharpened blades that you ask for."

Alyndra moved over to the bed and looked that ensamble that was brought to her. It was a black and gray skin tight suit with buckles to hold blades strewn through out it. Alyndra browsed over what she was given and made sure that everything was in order.

"Nan, I am not sure that I want to do this. Everyone knows who I am and what I do. I am sure that the last place that many of theses people want to be is at a murders name day celebration."

"Hush child, you are not a murder. Your mother is as she is the one that orders you around."

"That does not make this any easier. I am hoping that we can get through this fast."

"It will certinally be a day to remember. Here I wanted to give you a name day present that I have been working on for many years."

Nan held out a bottle that was small and round with a blue liquid inside. Alyndra took it from Nan and examined it closely.

"What is this meant to be?"

"It is meant to reverse anything that it comes into contact with. It can even bend time if one has the will to do so."

"Thank you I will make sure to save it for the right moment."

Alyndra was dressed and made her way down to the throne room where she stood next to her mother Andruil. There she waited as the Andruil made the announcment for the ceremony to take place.

*********

Outside of Skyhold there was a samll band of men that were lead by Cullen, leader to the new resistance against the elven gods. They had been planning and attack on Skyhold for the past few years. Strategy wise Andruil held the ultimate weapon, on the other hand he wanted revenge on the elf that killed his wife and daughter. When it was announced that there was to be a name celebration for the Aneirin Blade of Andruil, it was too good of an opertunity to pass up.

Cullen had grabbed enough men to take on Andruil and to hopfully subdue or kill Aneirin. Either way he wanted them out of the picture as it was going to bring them that much closer to finding a way to close the veil as well as bringing down Solas.

As the the festivities were announced to start Cullen and his men maid their way into Skyhold. They made there way through the kitchens and up the stairs to where the throne room was. Cullen could hear the music playing within the hall but there was very little in the way of conversation. This was expected as much since everyone was there because they feared what would happen if they didnt come.

Cullen put his men into place. He placed two mages at the top where Lady Vivvine used to be. There they were to take out as many of the guards as they could. The other men were ordere to get everyone out as Cullen was gong to take on Aneirin.

Dragon Age: Dark Age (Chapter 3)

Cullen paced back and forth as he waited for Evelyn to be ready and bring Alyndra to the throne room. It was her name day and all nobles from far and wide made it to Alyndra's name day. Josephine planned it all out to make sure that it would go smoothly. If Cullen knew anything, this was only going to end in disaster.

Finally, he sees Evelyn exiting the door to their chambers. "She looks so beautiful," he thought to himself. She wore a beautiful royal blue dress that was long-sleeved with a velvet touch. A light blue sash with a gold broch hung around her waist, and a gold circlet crown wrapped her beautiful chocolate brown hair. It was still hard for Cullen to get used to the fact the Evelyn wears more dresses than she does her Outerwear she wore during the age of the Inquisition.

The assembly gathered as they saw Evelyn approach her throne. She laid Alyndra down in the wood and gold crib that was placed between her and Cullen. Despite all the voices and the noise, she slept peacefully.

"Everyone, if could please gather so that we may commence the name day ceremony. "

Everyone became quiet as Josephine bowed and gestured to Cullen and Evelyn. They stood to address the assembly hand in hand.

" On this day the Maker and Andraste have smiled and blessed us with a  beautiful baby girl." Evelyn says beeming with happines.

" On this name day we ask that each of you pay your loyalties to the new lady of the Rutherford house hold. Today we would like to introduce to you Lady Alyndra Rutherford, Heiress to the land of Skyhold."

Everyone cheered and appluded as Cullen picked up his daughter from the crib and held her gently in the air so that all can see her.

Cullen laid Alyndra back down into her crib as many began to form a small line to give their gifts and blessings to the new Lady. Many of the noble families offered their first born heirs to be Alyndras betrothed, many gave gols, land or expensive gifts that only a true noble could afford. Many of the lower class citizens gave them food, animals, and anything that they could spare.

Then the King of Fereldan made his way to meet Alyndra along with the Queen and their son and only heir Prince Duncan. The prince would not have been born had it not been for the help of a group of Grey Warden mages wanted to give a gift to the new King and his Queen. One of the mages sacrificed their life so that the Warden Queen could concieve a child. UNfortunetly for the King and Queen they did not have a chioce in the matter as they had performed the ritual before they were to face Alistair and his Queen. For the mages they were given thier lives but were sentenced to fight in the Deep Roads to pay for thier crimes as Blood Magic was still outlawed despite Mages gaining the freedom the had always wanted.

Duncan approched the baby girl and smiled at her as he saw that she was first smiling at him. Her big blue eyes were locked on to Duncan and he began to make faces at her so that she would continue to smile and laugh.

"Our congratulations on your daughters name day. You are welcome to come to Denerim should you require anything and know that our doors are always open to you and your family."

" Thank you your Majesties, we are deeply honored for your consideration."

They bow to the King and Queen as they head back into the crowd to mingle with their people.

They went on when out of no where a dark black smoke begane to fill the floor of the throne room. Everyone became quiet and watched as a woman dressed on a black dress laiden with silver. She was tall and pale as the moon, eyes black like the night sky and red lips the color of blood.

" How quaint, a little brat gets more respect then that of a Goddess." she said with an evil grin.

Culle drew his sword and stands on front of Evelyn as she grabs Alyndra to protect her. Many of the soldiers surround the mysterious woman and Alistair goes to Cullen too help him with his family.

" Who are you! What do you want?" Cullen yells at the woman.

"You really have no idea who I am do you? My name is Andruil, Goddess of the Hunt and it was my instruction to find both the King and the Lion."

" There is no way you are Andruil, all the Elven Gods were locked away in the vail that seperates us and the Fade." Said Evleyn as craddled her daughter.

" Yes that wa true but Fen'Harel has freed some of us. We are hear to make sure that there will be no resistence in tearing down the veil and here we will find the key to release my family."

Just as she had finishedher sentance a wave of showdows that looked like people making their way through the crowd killing many of the nobles. The soldiers charged Andruil trying to land blows and kill her. They tried to fight hard to protect their Lord and Land but one by one they fell till one a couple were left and they went to protect their Lord and Lady.

Andruil made her way through the crowd of scared people trying to make their way out of the keep. She did not care for the young people she only cared for Cullen and Alistair as they were her biggest game she was commanded to kill. Cullen and Alirstair fought the shadow people to protect Evelyn and Alyndra as there was no where they could escape. Andruil disappated into nothing and then appeared behind Evelyn.

Evelyn quickly turned around and she did was greeted with the end of a blade, As Evelyn fell to the ground, Andruil took Alyndra into her arms as Alyndra began to scream and cry. Cullen turned quickly to see his wife fallen and his daughter along with Andruil were gone.

Dragon Age: Dark Age Chapter 2

Long had been the months that had passed as Cullen and Evelyn awaited their little one. Josephine hearing the news that the Commander and the Inquisitor were expecting their first child she had to help plan the name day celebration and the handling of any betrothals that came their way. With a new Teyrn placed in Fereldan, there would be many families that would want to match their child in order to gain power or status. To be married to the child of the Harold of Andraste whether it is a boy or a girl was something that anyone would wish to brag about in their family.

As the days grew closer to the arrival of the new baby, many came in the hopes that they could at least greet their new lord or lady as well as pay respects to the new Teyrn and his wife as there had not been a proper ceremony since Cullen and Evelyn had become the higher nobility of Fereldan. Evelyn had been very sick throughout her pregnancy and many feared for her life and the life of their unborn child. So it was directed by many healers that she remain in bed and or not doing anything too strenuous in order to keep her and the baby safe. Cullen was left to deal with nobles, land squabbles, and anything else that would be required of Evelyn as she was the only one that had experience in the matter. Cullen loathed each and every day as he had to listen to the pettiness of many. He knew he was not cut out for this but if it meant Evelyn and his child would live then he had no issue with it. Or rather he was less inclined to get up and leave in the middle of the meeting.

It was a bright morning on the morning of 9:48 Dragon and Cullen has already had his fill for the day of politics when Vivienne comes down from Evelyn's chambers and whispers in his ear,

"It's time."

Cullens eyes open wide as he nods to the guards and at Josephine to clear the throne room.

"I must take my leave as a very important matter needs my attention." As he stands up and bows out.

He nods one last time at Josephine to take over and without seeming to be in too much of a hurry he heads up to Evelyn's chambers.

As he makes his way up the stairs he hears the words "Push, push!" As he heard this along with the moans and cries of his wife, he froze.

He didn't know if he wanted to go into the room. How can he see her in that much pain? He had almost lost her twice in the span of three years, what if he loses her today?

" I need Cullen, where is he?" She asked as she pushed through the pain.

" He should be on his way, my lady."

With that, he knew needed to be by her side. He flung the door open and ran to her side and grabbed her hand.

"It's alright I am here now." He said as he moved her now long hair out of her face.

Hours passed and Evelyn was barely making any progress. She was exhausted and it was begging to look grim. Evelyn was growing pale and even the healers knew that the baby was not going to hold on much longer. Cullen dropped his head and prayed to Andraste and the maker for help.

" Maker please, don't let it end like this. I have been faithful, I have fought for so long in your name. Please if I could ask for one thing, it would be to save my wife and my child, please."

Then a light caught his attention. HE looks up in a swift motion and what he saw looked almost like the bright silhouette of a woman. Just as fast as it appeared if flashed towards Cullen and Evelyn. He closed his eyes and held his arm up to shield his eyes from the bright light. When he opens them the light is gone and Evelyn begins to scream in pain. The healer quickly lifts the blanket over her and looks stunned.

" Listen the baby's head is halfway out. I need you to push hard my lady, push like your life depends on it."

Evelyn nods her head, es, understanding what she needs to do. With the next contraction, she pushes with all her might lifting half her body up to help. Then she falls back onto the bed. A moment of silence that seemed to last far too long, when finally a baby's cries filled the room. Cullen let out a breath not realizing that he had been holding.

" It's a girl!" The healer exclaims as she wipes off the girl and hands her to Evelyn.

" Thank the Maker, she's alright, you are alright." Exclaimed Cullen as he kisses Evelyn's head.

" Would you like to hold her Cullen?" Evelyn asks as she holds their daughter up to him.

He reaches out to his daughter and then pulls back. " I have never held a baby before.

" It's alright, I will help you."

Cullen gives Eveyln an unsure look. She slightly nudges him to hold their daughter when he finally takes the little girl slowly into his arms.

"Mind her head," Evelyn says.

Cullen looks down at his daughter and everything in the world seemed to stop. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. She was so small and fragile yes it took so much for her to come into this world. The Maker and Andraste and answered his prayers. He began to sway her back and forth smiling as she seemed to sleep.

" What should we name her?" Asks Cullen?

" Well I was thinking Alyndra." " That is a beautiful name. What is it from?" " It was my grandmother's name."

Dragon Age: Dark Age

It had been four years since the Inquisition was dissolved and there still had been no sign of Solas or the missing elves from many of the Alianeges. Not even Leliana knows where they might have disappeared to. Without any leads as to any unrest with the Elven community Cullen Rutherford and his Bride, Evelyn Trevelyn returned to Skyhold after being away for a year visiting Cullen's family.

Even though the Inquisition was dissolved It was home to many that were in the ranks of the army. It even became for a hand full of Evelyn's companions. Sera stuck around still running with the Red Jenny group. In fact,she was declared Red Jenny since she was the one that they seemed to report to after she joined the Inquisition. Then there was Iron Bull who found solace in the stone walls of the Inquisition. Evelyn had become family to him and she was alright with him staying. The chargers stayed too of course knowing that there was still work to be done from the days of the Inquisition. Lastly, here was Cole. Once he became more human he was able to fall in love Maryden as well as become like a little brother to Evelyn. He would always be there for her when she could feel the weight of the world on her shoulders.

When Cullen and Evelyn were finally settling in there were summoned by King Alistair and the Warden Queen. There was no context to the summons other than to talk about the future of Sjyhold. This summons was almost too ominous and did not bode well for all who lived in Skyhold/ They made their way to Denerim where King Alistair himself greeted the Rutherfords.

"I am pleased that you were able to make it here. We have been eagerly awaiting your presence. If you could please follow me the Landsmeet is ready to start.

Cullen and Evelyn looked at each other confused as they were not informed that they were to be apart of a Landsmeet. They were only called when something big was happening.

As they made their way into the throne room, they could see that every house had gathered that was of any importance. King Alistair made his way to his throne where the Warden Queen was already waiting. A familiar face was seen standing next to the king's throne and it was Arl Teagan, Arl of Redcliff and advisor to the throne. Tegan was the one that pushed for the dissolve of the Inquisition. To see him here only meant trouble as there were still a great number of soldiers at Skyhold.

" I hear that congratulations are in order. You two were married in the Winter Palace were you not?" Arl Tegan asked.

"Yes my lord, we were in secret and had only told those recently of our union," Evelyn replied to Arl Tegan.

"Now as it stands Ms. Evelyn of house Trevelyn it would be wise to say that, that makes Commander Cullen here of Noble blood is that correct?" Asked King Alistair'

"Yes, hat does your highness."

"Good now before I get into it we have summoned you here to discuss what is to become of Skyhold now that the Inquisition has officially been dispanded. We will never forget your courage and your sacrifice for saving all of Thedas. Skyhold has become a home to you and Landsmeet has decided that for your heroic efforts we grant you the lands of Skyhold and that surrounding it. We name you Tyren and Teyrness of Skyhold." King Alistair proclaimed.

The throne room burst into applause and cheers. Both Cullen and Evelyn looked at each other and could not believe what they were hearing.

"You are now both Fereldans and have the responsibility of maintaining the laws and customs in which have been placed in keeping order. Today we celebrate with a feast in your honor." The warden Queen said as the cheers began to fade.

The feast was amazing and just as soon as it started it was over. Cullen and Evelyn stayed for about a week before they made their way back to Skyhold. Their land and the land of their heirs.

" Cullen there has been something that I have been meaning to tell you but with all the excitement I haven't found the right time to talk with you."

"You have your serious face on so this must be important." Cullen teased.

"Cullen, I'm pregnant".
