<i>Are you coming with me?<br/>
</i><br/>Those five simple words triggered something that had been long buried in his mind. Memories mostly smothered by lyrium resurfaced, flashes and flickers of thought.<i>Lana's hair shining in the moonlight. Stolen moments in the Chantry, where few mages bothered to go. Her with a mischievous look in her eye, waving a basket full of food at him, standing on a dock next to a boat. How had she found it? he asked. She just smiled. Are you coming with me? Sitting together in the moonlight on Lake Calenhad. The feel of her against his shoulder. The scent of her as she drew near.<br/>
</i><br/>The flashback ended in an instant, and he blinked as it flooded his awareness. There was something wrong with all of this, he realized. He'd always known on some level, but he'd never acknowledged it. Giving that much lyrium to a junior Templar... they had been hiding something. Something about her. And if Korbin had let her go...<br/><br/>"I am." He shouldered his spear and turned to follow her, pausing as he drew even with her. "They... forced something to change in me," he said haltingly, trying to explain himself. "After the old woman went berserk, they took me... somewhere... somewhere secret. They forced me to drink lyrium philters with every meal, for weeks on end. I... I want to remember the truth, but I don't know what that is anymore." He hesitated, hand half-lifting to touch her shoulder, but he rethought it and let it drop. "Andraste willing, I will find it again soon," he murmured, then moved past her, striding down the tunnel, his mind made up.<br/><br/>He knew the door Korbin had described. Once in ages past it had been used to deliver the raw lyrium that the dwarves mined directly to the Circle Tower, but due to one Blight or another the route from Orzammar had been blocked, and the tunnels abandoned in favor of overland caravans and merchants. He led the way to it, only stopping when they approached the stone-hewn portal, marked with dwarven runes along its edges. He glanced over at her as he came to a halt. "We're likely to encounter Darkspawn while we're down there," he explained quietly. "Have you ever faced one before?"
