Okay, so this is my forth fanfic. I know I suck at writing stories. This is a Yaoi story like the ones before this one. Don't like, why you still here? But for those of you that do like, go have fun!
It was very cold, now that it was winter. It had been six month since he, Garret Hawk, had left Kirkwall to its own doom. They had refused his hand when he had reached out for them. Had looked at him as if he was some kind of abomination, standing in their midst. So he had left them. He and his friends, except Isabella and Anders, had split apart and gone their own way. The only ones staying together were him and Fenris.
It had been one month since he had begun to learn the language of the Qun. He had always wondered what the meaning the Arishok's words held. Especially the one he had called him, right before he handed over Isabella, Basalit-an. He was recently told by Fenris that the Qunari only called people outside the Qun that. It meant that he was a non-Qunari worthy of respect. He had felt kind of proud of that.
"Hawk"
Garret was pulled out of his thoughts when Fenris called his name.
He put on a face as if he was listening before answering "Yeah, what is it?" Fenris frowned "I know you weren't listening, else you would had noticed the Ashaad following us". "No I admit it I wasn't listening, but I already knew he was there, I just don't want to do anything about it. As long he doesn't bother us". Garret didn't bother to stop to wait for Fenris to continue to walk, even though it only took him a second to do so. Fenris broke the silence again "Yeah I know, but you know that where an Ashaad is, either a Sten or a Kithshok is near by". This time he stopped and turned around to face him and asked "why are you so afraid, what are you afraid of?" Fenris looked surprised for a second before masking it again and answered "It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just slightly curious to why they are following us, or rather, following you".
Garret was taken aback. Where they following HIM? He knew that Fenris was good at sensing what people were up to, but that couldn't be right! Garret looked up at the rocks where the Ashaad was standing, staring right back without wavering for one second. Garret began to have a strange feeling that the Ashaad wasn't alone. True enough, there appeared two other Ashaad's behind the first, also staring at Hawk.
The Ashaad yelled so suddenly that it surprised both Hawk and Fenris. "Shanedan Basalit-an, the Arishok seeks and audience with you". Garret stared at him for a second before he looked at Fenris, who was doing the exact same. He then looked up to see all the Ashaad's waiting for an answer. 'Why does the Arishok want an audience with me? And besides, why has he come back? Is he here to take over Kirkwall? But Kirkwall isn't near here, were out in the middle of nowhere. What is he up to?' He couldn't let the Ashaad's wait too long so he just answered what he deemed to be the best decision "Then I shall go and meet you're Arishok". It seemed that the Ashaad's where satisfied with his answer. He had learned that they would do anything necessary to fulfill their orders. Garret sent an apologetic look over to Fenris, who just shrugged his shoulders.
They followed the Ashaad's over a small mountain, where the Qunari had made camp. They walked through the many various kinds of tents, until they got to the biggest one that sat in the heart of it all. The Ashaad's, except one, went their own way. The Ashaad motioned for them to follow him in to the tent. Inside the tent behind a huge desk where massive piles of paperwork where stacked on sat the Arishok.
"Shanedan Arishok, I have brought the Basalit-an as you ordered, though it seems that he has a companion with him".
The Arishok looked up from the paper he had been reading. First he looked at the Ashaad, then Hawk and lastly Fenris. "I see. So the elf that speaks the words of the Qun, followed you even when you were exiled from the very own city that you defended from me, typical of you humans". His words shook Garret in more ways than one. He couldn't stop himself from asking "Shanedan Arishok, but I would like to know how you know that I was exiled and not left on my own accord?" Hawk stared him right in the eyes, even though it took all of his willpower to stop himself from averting his eyes. "I see that you have begun to learn the words of the Qun. Did you have the elf teach you?" Hawk immediately knew that he was averting the question. "You did not answer my question. HOW DID YOU KNOW?" Hawk loved that city, and it had torn his soul apart to get exiled from it. He had to know! The Arishok stared at him for a few seconds. He then turned to the Ashaad that was standing to the side. "Panahedan, and take the elf with you". Fenris looked at Hawk, but he was giving the Arishok all of his attention, so he left. The Arishok then looked back at Hawk before answering without wavering "When I left that… City the first time, I said that I would come back to conquer it once and for all. Two months after you had left the City to its own doom, we returned. Without you and the other ‘warriors’ there to protect it, it fell to our hands in less than a day. We then asked some of the people that had converted to the Qun, of what there had become of you. I was most surprised when I found out that they had exiled you. You, the only one to stand up to me had been abandoned by your own people".
Garret felt like someone was grabbing his heart and twisting it inside of him. His former City had been conquered, and he hadn't been there to stop them. He felt as if he had failed them, even though they were the ones that had given up on him. His whole body felt numb, the 'empress blade' felt heavy on his back and his knees felt like jelly. He couldn't breathe, no matter how many times he sucked air into his lungs. The only thing he felt was the Arishok's eyes on him. What was he gonna do?
Okay, I really felt like ending right there. *Peeks up from table* please don't hate me! I'll post the next chapter as soon as it’s done.
