Author Note: Hello and welcome. This is the sequel to my other story Blood Bond. It follows the Awakening story line, but there will be a lot of AU things going on later. I will try and update this story every week, but it may not be possible with my school work. For those who haven't read Blood Bond yet, here is a quick summary of what happened. Zelda (Human Noble) and Arawin (City Elf) became Wardens and killed the archdemon together. Zelda became queen with Alistair, and Arawin went traveling with Zevran. My other origins may also show up as well, such as Lisha (Dalish Elf) who is the main protagonist in this story. Thank you for reading, and reviewing is always appreciated. Prologue The courtyard of the Vigil was busy as soldiers ran about, preparing and gathering for the battle that was to come. Lisha stood in the middle, shouting out orders and directions. The statue of Andraste loomed over her like a giant sentinel, its white marble reflecting the light from the lit torches. She hated that statue. More bad things had happened around it than she would have liked. Lisha looked back at the Vigil. Everyone inside was rushing, the darkspawn would be on them soon. She could feel it too, the taint starting to become thick around the keep. It was that corrupted taint, the one that was different from the usual type. Lisha focused on it, feeling its strength as the creatures got closer, as they prepared themselves as well for a fight to the death. It was still strange to her, these talking darkspawn. It was one of those things that took awhile to get used to, if one could get used to it at all. “Incoming!” She heard the warning and looked away from the keep straight to the sky, moving out of the way just as a large fireball landed next to her. It exploded, hitting the statue and shattering it to chunks. Lisha had covered herself, gotten out of the way of the fireball just in time, but the statue fell on her. She felt a bone in her arm break, and she cursed in her elven tongue. “Damn darkspawn.” “Commander! Commander! Are you all right?” Varel ran out to her. He helped her stand when he noticed she was holding her left arm. “I'll be fine, Varel,” Lisha said as she stared up into the sky, looking for any more incoming fireballs. She hugged her arm to her chest, feeling it already beginning to swell. “Commander, maybe you should go see--” “Varel, continue to get the men ready. The darkspawn are obviously here.” Varel eyed her suspiciously. He hadn't known her for very long, but he knew enough not to question her orders. “As you wish, Commander.” He bowed to her, but before leaving picked up her bow and handed it to her. Lisha nodded her head in thanks. As he left, she looked at her arm. It was broken in the forearm, leaving her in no condition to fight. She would eventually have to go and find a healer, especially if she wanted to fight. But she didn't want to go in the Vigil. That's where Arawin was, and the pain Lisha was going through right now was nothing compared to hers. It was something Lisha could feel sympathy with. She just hoped Arawin would recover from it. Looking away from the Vigil, Lisha stared back to the sky. Zelda was out there, another going through pains that none of them should have been going through at such a young age. Lisha felt sorry for the queen, and hoped that once the matter with the darkspawn was taken care of, she would be able to handle her problem. “Commander, quickly, we need you!” Lisha saw Sergeant Maverlies gesture for her from the other side of the courtyard. Putting her bow on her back, Lisha made her way over as she passed through a line of knights. “What is it, Sergeant? Are all the preparations ready?” “Yes--” The keep shook as more fireballs flew through the air, hitting the walls and exploding in the courtyard. “Yes, Commander, we just need your word to open the gates.” Lisha could hear the twang of arrows as the archers on the walls began firing into the darkspawn on the other side. She hugged her arm closer to her chest and looked back and forth from Maverlies to the keep and then to the courtyard beyond to the gate. She could feel her fellow Wardens down there, waiting for the orders. “Alright, open the gates. They'll swarm in, but we'll be ready for them. These darkspawn will learn one way or another.”
