Lathalam splashed cold water on her face from the basin, gasping like she had just been slapped. The morning was not getting off to a good start. She'd woken up feeling like a bear had just eaten her and crapped her out on a flaming cactus. Then she scared the piss out of some poor servant girl. And to top it all off, she still had no idea where the hell she was. Oh, sure she knew the name of the place; Haven, but beyond that she couldn't say.
And there was still a hole in the sky. She groaned as she looked out the window. "You're not helping at all." She stared down at the mark on her hand. She supposed the fact that it wasn't spitting like a startled snake was a good sign.
She looked to the staff leaning against the wall. She didn't like it at all. What the hell was she supposed to use it for? The last time she had that thing in her hand the only thing she could do was beat demons over the head with it until they burst into flames. Lathalam sighed and left it where it stood as she went to the door. The bright sun hit her harder than the cold water did. It felt like she hadn't seen it in days.
As her vision returned, she saw people lining the walkway, all staring at her. 'At least they haven't attacked me yet,' she thought as she closed the door behind her. Before she could be tempted to scurry back into her small hut, she started walking as fast as she could past the crowd.
"That's her! That's the Herald of Andraste!"
Lathalam had to stop short at that. The herald of what? She shook her head and just kept walking, nearly breaking out into a run to get away from the hushed whispers as she climbed the steps toward the chantry. She blew past the people waiting in front of the chantry's doors and nearly dove inside and closed them behind her, leaning on them to rest her head against the wood. The chantry itself was, thankfully, only occupied by a scant few people. Pushing herself off of the doors, she continued inside.
She could already hear heated voices coming from the far side, the heavy, wooden door doing little to muffle the words.
"She failed to seal the Breach, Seeker!"
Lathalam felt her shoulders slump at the Chancellor's words. Despite her better judgement, she pushed the door open and stepped inside.
"Seize her!" Lathalam stopped short, noticing the two Templars on either side of the door. "I want her chained and prepared for the journey to Val Royaux!"
"Disregard that order and leave us." Lathalan had half expected to have to run, but the Templars did as the Seeker asked and left, leaving one very ruffled Chancellor.
Lathalam pinched the bridge of her nose as the two argued circles around each other until the Seeker, Cassandra, if her memory served, slammed a heavy looking book down on the table. "Do you know what this is," the Seeker asked. "It is a writ from the Divine re-establishing the Inquisition. We will close the Breach, find who is responsible and bring them to justice with or without the Chantry's help."
All she could remember was staring at the massive document bound in leather and steel and wonder what the hell she had gotten herself into.

As soon as the Seeker and Spy Master had concluded their meeting, Lethalam had fled the chantry and found a quiet spot between two huts. She leaned against the wall and slid down until she sat in the snow, her head on her knees.
"Hello."
She jumped at the greeting, her hands flying to her sides as a near-by bush froze solid, twigs breaking off in the light wind.
"Ir abelas." Lethalam looked toward her left where a bald, elven man stood with his palms up in a gesture of good will. "I did not mean to startle you."
She let out a breath and leaned her head back on the wood of the hut. "S'ok... Solas, was it?"
"It is." The older elf gracefully sat on the stone half-wall opposite her. "What circle did you train in?"
She tilted her head. "Circle?"
"I apologize, again. I assumed because you lacked the vallaslin that you studied at a circle. What clan to you hail from?"
She felt even more lost now than she had when Cassandra had threatened to kill her.
"Where did you receive training as a mage." The older elf nearly huffed in exasperation.
She made a rude noise at the back of her throat. "I am not a mage."
"Then clearly, that bush decided that now would be a good time to turn into an ice sculpture and tumble off into the sunset."
Lethalam rolled her eyes, shrugging her shoulders as she rubbed her eyes with the heels of her hands. "Never did any of that until yesterday."
"Three days ago, actually. And you have never accidentally cast a spell? Never set something on fire during emotional distress." His incredulity was starting to show.
"I never thought they- I mean, I've never even seen a mage until now." She tried to hide her fidgeting by linking her hands under her knees.
Solas studied her face for a moment, narrowing his blue eyes until she visibly shrunk from him.
"I'm a museum curator!" She nearly shouted, her hands flinging out to her sides in frustration. "Have been for twenty years. I don't know anything about magic!"
The elder elf studied Lathalam for a moment, pursing his lips as he thought. "Then you need to be trained. If only to spare the shrubbery that remains from your clumsy wrath."
Lathalam groaned and fell to her side, hitting the snow with a muffled thump. "Fuck me."
