				Coming from the forests of Ferelden marked the young woman as a Dalish Elf. The world's view on her and her people were scattered, some thought they were majestic in the ways they kept close to the earth. Others seemed to think that they were wild, rowdy creatures with no morals or a conscience. Their stories were vague, their history broken, and the communication they had with outsiders was very little. In the midst of it all, in the under brush of a beautiful green forest was a female named Rae. She had long, flowing, thick brown hair and bangs that swept down over her forehead and skimmed her long lashes. Her eyes were hazel, a mixture of dark green, caramel brown, and light, honey golden swabs of colour. Pointy, and adorably elven ears would protrude and at times show through her veil of hair. She was short at five foot one, and had a thick, curvaceous form. She had full, ample hips, thick thighs and muscular calves, with an ample bosom and soft tummy, she was definitely all woman but beneath the tanned flesh laid more to her.<br><br>For this woman had the gift of magic, she had been given it at a young age with traces of blood with magic flowing through her veins. Rae had at first scared her people, for a mage who went unnoticed could either end up as an abomination, a Chasind, or a prisoner of the Templars, or perhaps a member of the Chantry. And if that were to happen, well, things would go very wrong. Yet, this woman was hand picked by the curious Maker himself it would seem. For after a life of sharpening her skills and living with her mother who hid her along with her people and helped her hone her skills, she was noticed by a Grey Warden, named Duncan.<br><br>The man had helped her in a curious case, deep in the mountains, and after the death of her friend and the killing of curious dark spawn, she was poisoned, but agreed to go with Duncan to Ostaghar and to cleanse her body as well as join the Grey Wardens. She had been in it for several months, learning more of her gifts from the magi who would frequent around the area and not report her on her ways. Wynne, an elderly woman in particular, was like a mother to her in the magic arts, and had worked with the woman to improve her skills. When Rae was alone, she often worked on figuring out more spells and trying to decipher ancient words and figure out more ways to exude her magical ability.<br><br>As time passed though, the dreams became worse, and the appearance of the arch demon would frequent her dreams. Duncan was often coming back and forth, bringing new recruits, or grim news. Today, Rae had a feeling in her stomach, one of joy but also anxiousness. She felt that soon, the Blight would officially begin, and that with Duncan would come the last of the recruits that he could manage for the mean time. Dressed in Dalish armour, Rae sat by the fire, having just eaten, she was now staring into the flames, manipulating the way the orange licks of fire moved, her full pink lips tilting up in a bit of a smile with dimples sinking into her cheeks.<br><br>Snapping out of her reverie, she heard the word that spread quickly, Duncan was heading back, and he had someone new with him. And he was just down the road.

				He was a street rat, that grew from the slums of Denerim.&nbsp; Never having known the comfort of a warm bed or a roof over his head. Leon fought daily to survive. In one day he could be involved in several bread snatchings, along with a few purses.&nbsp; As he grew older, he realized that stealing purses would not sustain him. Perhaps it was fate or some bizarre consequence that would lead Leon down the path to becoming a hero. One day whilst the young lad went about his daily routine of stealing bread, for himself and the other orphans,&nbsp; his hands found themselves in the pocket of a snake. Mr. K was a rather infamous figure around the city of Denerim. Mr. K was an up and coming crime boss who ruled the underworld with an iron fist, also a nice sharp blade.&nbsp; Leon gulped at the realization of what he had just done.&nbsp; However, the man did not seem to notice the brown haired boy slinking away into the crowd,. Until a voice called out to him, “Young lad…Yes you with the brown hair and blue eyes. I need you to return my wallet”. Leon stopped in his tracks, and his thoughts began to race. One thought in particular, “I am a dead nug”.&nbsp; Well the man did not kill the boy instead, he took him in and showed him the ways of a thief. Sometime passed and things began to change once again. <br><br>Leon wasn’t sure how long it had been since he was taken in, but he found himself in the shackles of a ruthless Lord. Arl Howe, had caught Leon when he and three others from K’s group ventured onto Howe’s land. Now he was no boy , he was a muscular young lad that stood at six feet. His hair had grown out wavey to his shoulders and his frame was marked with nicks and scars. He his hips had slendered out, while his legs were shaped with muscle. A bit tall for a rogue, but it mattered not.&nbsp; So there Leon was about to meet a man that would change his destiny.&nbsp; It was a cold dark cell in the basement of Howe's manner. Screams could be heard at all times of the day. Morning or night, Howe would not cease his retched activities. Leon over heard bits and pieces of the conversations. Apparently, the arl was trying to over throw another house, which Leon found interesting. He had all this land and property, yet he was not happy.&nbsp; That was where Duncan came in. Catching wind of the raid, he came to see one of the infamous K's rogues. As much as this was to Howe's displeasure, he could not refuse the warden. <br><br>First, Leon noted how similar their eyes were. It was as if they were the same person. Duncan's were much older and had several years of experience on Leon.&nbsp; Leon jumped at the chance to join the wardens. He would no longer be known as Leon, but Grey Warden or Leon the Grey Warden.&nbsp; Howe was tempted to make the warden enforce the right of conscription, but after a stern word from his head mage decided against it. Duncan an understanding man, gave Leon a set of&nbsp; Leather armor with one of&nbsp; his daggers and an Iron dagger. It was not much, but Leon had survived using less.<br><br>On the way to Ostagar, Duncan pointed out several of Leon’s faults, as they killed vicious wildlife and tainted beasts.&nbsp; He even showed Leon a few pointers to disarming traps and finding weaknesses. As they reached the entrance of Ostagar, Duncan turned to Leon and said, “From here on out, rely on your own skills”. That was the last bit of instruction Duncan would give Leon.&nbsp; Following the broken white bridge, Leon was greeted by a guard, who was fully covered in armor. The man offered to guide Leon around camp, but he declined saying, “I need to figure these things out on my own”.&nbsp; Once in the camp, a huge bonfire caught his attention. It was one of the largest he had ever seen, although his attention was quickly stolen by a female, but she had pointy ears. “Could she be an elf”, Leon thought running his eyes over her full bosom and voluptuous curves.&nbsp; He knew he was staring, but manners were not exactly his first nature. So, his eyes continued up her curves to her caramel brown hair&nbsp; and hazel eyes. His mouth was a bit dry but he managed to speak, "Hello, are you one of the other recruits?", he questioned looking into her eyes.

				When the two men entered into camp, Rae stayed right where she was while the king and others went down to greet them. She knew that if Duncan had anything she needed to know, he would find her and tell her, it was not that large of a camp after all and since the Kocari Wilds were closed off, she could not get very far. Still at the fire, she simply watched it now, no longer interested in the magic but in her thoughts about the oncoming evils and the Blight that threatened her very home and the homes of many others. They did not have long, it would be soon that things began to truly go south and they had to be left to deal with it. It was alarming to think of all the things that could go wrong, but Rae had a feeling, a knowing in her spirit that as long as they kept to their beliefs and their skills, then surely all would go fine.<br><br>Sensing that new blood had entered, her eyes lifted and she saw Leon, a handsome man, human, with a certain agility and strength to his form. Rae admired his long,dark hair, always finding that a man who grew out his hair to be very good looking in her eyes. Yet there was something more to him, and when he looked at her, she saw the way his blue eyes moved across her thick form. Well good, the man was very straight, and very intriguing. When he approached her, she remained silent, watching him, tilting her head and then feeling her full lips form into a smile that had her dimples appear. Rising from the log she sat on, she brushed her bottom in case anything like leaves or splinters were on her armour, she would flip her hair back and sigh. <br><br>"I am, yes, I am a Grey Warden, my name is Rae, I am a Dalish Elf, specializing in, well, magic." She smiled and then winked at him before saying, "And I am guessing that from the smell of your newness, you are the man Duncan has returned with. Leon, is it? I have heard bits and pieces of who you are, a formidable rogue, which is very useful in the travels of a Grey Warden. You would not believe the things some people keep in shoddy chests and cabinets." With a giggle she put out a hand, "It is a pleasure to meet you. I hope you are ready for the ritual that is to be had soon, we will need to talk with Duncan, I believe he told me I was to lead a small group out into the wilds later, searching for items needed and something else as well, though he was very vague. But first, are you hungry or in need of anything?"

				The reason Leon could make it at as rogue was because he was observant person. So when she stood and flipped her brown her over the exquisite armor. Leon's eyes had not seen anything like it, there were intriguing patterns spread over the light armor. His attention was drawn away from the armor by the jesting tone of her voice after she finished he playfully responded, "It is truly a pleasure to meet you Rae, I'm Leon. I must agree, I am an outstanding rogue, and once I found a nice dagger. It sold for a Sovereign ". Leon thought for a minute, was their anything that he need? Responding to her final question, "No, we ate earlier. Most of it may have been a dry salty nug jerky, but if was enough to fill me up", joked Leon before looking around the camp, his thoughts were not of a nutritional need, but those of a more carnal nature. He stifled them and spoke up, "You said there are other recruits. So, I won't be the only one going through the joining then?", he asked her, and his muscled arms clad in leather armor crossed in front of his chest. He heard many things of the joining on his way here, but none of them were specific enough to give him any idea of what was going to happen. Rumors flew about of how how you had to enter a haunted tomb and face down the ghosts of past or kill a hundred darkspawn. So many that no one could discern which ones were true, if any.&nbsp; He could have to face down a dragon, for all he knew. It heard it was a harrowing process and that its activities were not be spoken of afterwards. <br><br>"To that note how long have you been a warden?", he continued to ask questions, because he found himself curious about the woman. Partly because she was an elf and partly because everything about her just seemed right.&nbsp; It was not love at first sight, that was for sure. Leon did not believe in such things. She was just interesting, that was all and very attractive, especially&nbsp; her full curves.&nbsp; Anyways while he was full of questions, and he was sure that she had her own for him, so he decided to keep his thin lips closed. <br><br>Leon didn't know it, but the very recruits he asked about were just down the path and near a merchant, who sold standard supplies to soldiers and not so standard supplies to those that knew it. Daveth was flirting with a woman and Jory was just up the white ramp getting spiritual help from one of the clergy.

				Rae enjoyed the way Leon spoke, an interesting rogue who knew how to pop jokes, which was always useful when walking through morbid paths and coarse routes. Sometimes, light hearted conversation was needed, words needed to be said that could lighten the spirits of your friends, and Rae known for her optimistic and nature and the need to make jokes and smile, often lightening the mood in dark, tense meetings between Grey Wardens. Rae's sharp sense of sight caught how Leon looked down across her armour, special made from her own people, it was not surprising to her to see how interested he was. Dalish made things were not very popular in places like Denerim, they were often frowned upon by the elves who lived in the Alienage. At his question the elf nodded,"Correct. There are two others here, as well as another Grey Warden, Alistair, which we will need to find him as well though I believe he is being a menace at the moment with a few magi. The idiot," Rae sighed and shook her head before smiling. "The other two are also very skilled fighters, one is a rogue, like you, and another is a knight, or was, they are both rather good at what they do, and I hope all three of you make it...although," she trailed off.<br><br>"Anywho, um, almost a year, eight months to be exact, have I been a Grey Warden. It is no easy thing to be my friend, but it is a life you come to love even with all of the fighting and the threats of dark spawn, you learn how to make it through. Anywho," she smiled, turning a bit,she motioned for him to follow her. "I have been learned in skills for a long time, though coming here has taught me much more. I believe I have gained far more experience just from this past year then I have from all the years I have lived in the wilds. I believe that once you join with us, you too will become far more skilled then you could ever hope to imagine." Lightly she elbowed him in the side and laughed, "You might even become a master thief some day, if you think your skills now are grand, just you wait."<br><br>They walked through the camp and Rae would not to some and wave to others, smiling as they passed by Wynn who would beckon them both over to say a hello. After some words with her, Rae kept walking up towards a white path and to a semi-circle where the blond wonderboy stood talking to a magi. Rae sighed and shook her head, the templar and herself had gotten off on bad terms since he thought at first she belonged to the Circle or in the hands of a templar, but after a while of talking and fighting beside him, the man she had come to know was more of a brother. Once the older magi ran off in a huff, Rae came up to him and nodded towards Leon, "Alistair, meet Leon, the new recruit."<br><br>With a smile, Alistair nodded, "It's always nice to see new faces, please don't tell me you're some runaway magi as well who is best friends with Pointy over here," he waved to Rae. Rae rolled her eyes, "No that is not the case, Leon, Alistair here is a polite type of warrior, Alistair, Leon is the skilled rogue Duncan went after, learn your manners. Anywho, I came to fetch you so that we might move on and begin the ritual, after all, we don't have much time until the fight begins, we need all the hands we can get."<br><br>Nodding Alistair said, "Right of course, let us find Duncan then."<br><br>

				Leon followed along with the elf, who he know knew as a skilled mage . Rea was moving along the camp at a brisk pace, but Leon was able to take in her conversation and the surrounding scenery. A wooden stage was built off to his right, on top of it was a chantry member preaching the chant. The chantry, was the main religion source of Thedas and thus kept quite a leash over their mages with the use of templars. All this because of the alleged actions of a group of Tevinter Imperium Mages. Leon did not consider himself devout nor even a member. His mind was a blank slate when it came to religion. Past that they came to another mage, Winne. She was an older woman, with white hair. She greeted Rea, with the kindness of a mentor and properly introduced herself to Leon.&nbsp; The next continued walking towards the back of the encampment. There they met a man by the name of Allistar, he seemed rather knightly. His attitude towards mages, seemed rather sarcastic. Did he have a bad experience with them, Leon wondered.&nbsp; He seemed to be in a hurry to meet Duncan, "Alistar, do you treat all people this brashly or just mages?", he asked the knight who was fully glad in chain mail and on his back was a Templar shield with a longsword. It apeared to be basic equipment, unlike Duncan's equipment.<br><br>"Am I brash?", he repeated back. "Well yes, but when your taught that mages can turn into ghastly beings, at a mere fault. You become weary of such people", he stated as they walked. They were currently heading back the way he came and towards the bonfire. "Yes, I could see how that would be unnerving", he replied. He never really thought about it. But in a way, the mages to Alistair were like corrupt lords to Leon. They just did not mix. In fact Howe was already on his shit list as it was. "See, See?", he questioned Rea, "I am right, I'm not the only one".

				Rae glanced back at Alistair as they walked with a roll of her eyes, "How joyous for you, you know Alistair, just because you are not alone it does not make it any better. In fact, there's a whole army with the same thoughts as you, however, just because this is true, it does not make it any better, you are all still a bunch of idiots who at times hunt down innocent people. Templars have come after me too ya know, but even so, they were not strong enough or smart enough to catch me. Apparently an Elven Mage is probably ten times worse then a human one. I just think of people like rather intriguing, don't you." With a laugh at the way Alistair looked at her, she said gently, "Come on. I don't have time for the chit chat of unlearned little boys."<br><br>They rounded up the other recruits and met with Duncan at the bonfire. After coming to him the older man smiled and gave them instructions. Simple as they were, there was still an interesting part when they were ordered to find the papers that would make it so they had the right to call upon help from elves, dwarves, humans, and magi. They were rather old papers but still in effect since the last blight with Grey Wardens. "Be careful in the Kocari Wilds," Duncan spoke, "There are many dark spawn."<br><br>With that word of inspiration spoken, the group set off. Rae seemed to lead them all, walking a bit faster thanks to her elven blood line despite her heavy curves, she moved with ease and grace, and passed through the gates with no trouble. Taking out her staff, she felt the thrill of power rush through her bones as they set off.

				Alistair was speechless which happened on few occasions. Which followed by a verbal kick from Leon, “Yes, I can see how you would have a warped opinion on mages, with such an upbringing. However, I do not have anything against mages”. The two men followed the elf quietly to meet Duncan. On the way to Duncan the other two recruits joined the group, one Daveth an outspoken individual and Jory a quite and reserved person. Jory was apparently a knight of some kind and Daveth was a rogue, Leon knew that just from his eyes. They arrived at the bonfire where , Duncan was waiting for them. Duncan a man of Leon’s build except with the addition of a straight black beard. No doubt caused by all of his travels, through the lands of Thedas.&nbsp; His instructions were to travel through the Kocari Wilds in search of&nbsp; three vials of dark spawn blood, and to retrieve the pacts the Wardens maid a long time ago. After his final words, Leon quickly rushed off after Rea. She might have been capable of moving more swiftly then Leon. However, he wasn’t about to let his name be tarnished yet, he kept on her heels and out of the gates they went.<br><br>It was a quick journey, into the Kocari Wilds, however; Leon felt it would take more the brevity that it took to reach the wilds.&nbsp; Just too Leon’s left was a huge mound of earth and beyond that laid a pond.&nbsp; Filled with cat tails and the such.&nbsp; Trees were scattered everywhere and it felt like eyes stalked him from them.&nbsp; His thoughts were distracted by a howl off in the distance. Wolves, Leon thought reaching for his daggers. The others had caught up to them at this point and good thing, because more howls followed the loan one. The first wave of wolves rushed from the background.&nbsp; Alistair rushed ahead of them, to perform his tanking duties.&nbsp; Leon followed quickly behind, as Alistair would draw the wolves attention, Leon would quickly stab them and from behind….

				The fighting in these woods were rather easy, the wolves that rushed to them were nothing but little animals, easy to kill. Rae enjoyed warming up on animals like these, even though she was always a bit sad to see furry, beautiful creatures go down, it was still survival of the fittest, and fighting these animals allowed Rae to watched the newbies much more. Especially Leon, her eyes seemed to be glued on him when she was not casting an Arcane bolt on a poor animal or freezing them just to let the others kill them. Tilting her head, her long lashes lowered a bit before she hummed and then said, softly as they went back to walking a brisk pace, "You're fast." Looking at Leon, Rae smiled, "I'm impressed."<br><br>However, a pulse ran through her and she looked up to see a gang of darkspawn, "How peachy," she grumbled as they took after the horrible things. They were disgusting in appearance and their smell was putrid. But Rae had fought harder, so she stayed back, allowing Alistair to lead the attack and healing her party members when needed. After a few more moments of fighting, they had their three vials of blood, and soon they were walking even deeper into the wilds.<br><br>They came upon a fallen temple like structure, how odd to see such a thing, but Rae approached it first, glancing around and seeing a broken chest, she peaked inside and frowned. It would seem that whatever was here, was now gone.<br><br>"Well, well," a sultry female voice sounded out, everyone looked to see a woman with dark brown hair and mysterious eyes, she had on purple robes and held a magic staff, Rae gripped her own staff a bit tighter, eyeing the wild woman who smiled and said, "What you are looking for is no longer there,woman." The stranger's eyes swept across the group, "How interesting to see so many different types, and only one with even the smallest sense of common sense,"she looked back to Rae, "Magic, good choice. Now tell me, why are you here?"<br><br>"Where are the pacts," Rae replied, "Surely you must know."

				"Your not bad yourself", he replied quickly keeping pace with her. As they came to the first patrol of dark spawn, Leon couldn't help but wonder what made the foul creatures. No matter, Leon's blades still tore into their backs the same. One in particular, he finished with a doubled blade slash to the throat. Leon found that he had started to find vulnerabilities a lot easier since his travels with Duncan had begun. As they cleared through the dark spawn in front of a broken spire. It would have once looked magnificent, Leon was sure. The chest was empty, all that hard work was for nothing or so he thought, that was when a women scantily clad in black appeared. Her staff made of a twisted branch.&nbsp; <br><br>Alistair felt the need to interrupt, "I bet she is a witch of the wilds", he stated. This caused Jory, to stiffen up. <br><br>"She'll take us and put us in a pot, she will", he stated rather adamantly. <br><br>"Better in a pot then this cold forest", Daveth quickly replied.<br><br>"Come now, are you scared of one woman. Even if she is a mage, she is still a human being", Leon added. Now if this had been an Arl or such he might have disagreed. He then added, "The names Leon, any information you have on the Pacts, would help us", he stated looking the mage in the eyes.

				Looking back at her companions, Rae felt a bit shamed at the men, all except for Leon who seemed ready to try and speak with the witch in mature terms. The woman laughed, a witch like cackle that moved out as she jumped down and walked around to where they were. "You are not the type of men I like to cook up, no no, mine always have a bit more meat on them." As Leon spoke up, her brows rose, and she nodded, "My name is Morrigan, and what of you, woman, who are you?"<br><br>"Rae, it is a pleasure to meet you," The elven mage replied, and Morrigan eyed the silver like staff, before saying, "The elf manages to have more manners then the men who surround her." She grinned and then said, "I am surprised but also very glad at this." With a sigh she said, "I know where your pacts are, though they are so very ancient, I hardly doubt that they are even in effect. My mother has them, if you would like to see where, and if you would like to retrieve them, then I suggest you follow me."<br><br>Rae looked back to Alistair who seemed intent on not going, but she said, "We have to see where they are Alistair, you can stay if you like but the ones that are truly afraid may stay back however I am going on." With that said she kept on walking and in time they all decided to follow, thankfully, because truth be told, Rae was a tiny bit nervous about going in there alone.<br><br>In time however they came to a swamp like area with a hut, in front of it was Morrigan, but there was also an older, odd looking an old woman. Coming up to her, the old woman smiled, and then said, "Ah, we have such interesting visitors I see, Grey Wardens, as real as can be...here, these are your documents, you are looking for these, yes? The seal broke ages ago so I came and picked them up.<br><br>Taking the documents, Rae would look them over, "Wow. All this time...thank you so much."<br><br>

				Alistair would have retorted, but the elf and mage, who Leon now knew as Morrigan had taken off. The human mage was clearly a resident of these wilds. She practically did not even look at the path she was traveling, as if she knew every stone or piece of debris that laid in front of her.&nbsp; Leon quickly caught up with the group of mages as they came to a swampy area. A hut was neatly place at the edge of the pond and seemed to fit there nicely. A older woman was waiting to greet them. She had scraggly white hair and beady eyes. Even in her frail state, Leon's senses were electrified, with a sense of power. As they conversed, the others had joined and Alistair chimed in, "Ah, I knew your some kind of sneaky witch their!". Jory and Daveth looked to him and seemed to nod in agreement.<br><br>Leon replied, "She was keeping them why, because the spell gave way along time ago".<br><br>"Oh", he replied with a bit of embarrassment. He crossed his arms and sighed, "believe whatever you want".<br><br>Daveth turned to Jory and said, "We are out of luck, they don't have a pot big enough for all of us". Jory just looked discerningly at Daveth.<br><br>Leon walked past then said, "Thank you for keeping our documents, but we most be going. We still have other tasks to be completed", he politely told the elderly, "Just may we get your name before we go?", he asked.<br><br>

				The talk of the dense men was frustrating, Rae would look back with narrowed eyes at the lot of them, appalled at how rude and how loud they were being, they at least could have whispered to themselves. But she was satisfied at the nerves that came from Alistair, he had been shown the error of his ways and she hoped he would learn to stop saying stupid things. <br><br>Leon was the only one who seemed to use his brain and Rae would smile at him before nodding, agreeing on asking who the old woman was, the mother of Morrigan laughed, "Names are pretty things, but so useless...however. If you must know, some call me Flemeth."<br><br>For a moment there was silence until Rae said, "You are THE Flemeth, one of the most powerful witches in the world?"<br><br>The old woman shrugged, "Am I? I would not know, haha, I am just a woman living in the wilds to herself, and yet your men are ready to shake themselves out of their boots." Rae looked back again and saw how shocked they were, Rae was also a bit afraid as well but she simply nodded and said, "Well, you are a feared and respected image, I can imagine why but, thank you for this, we shall be on our way."<br><br>Morrigan showed them out and Rae would sigh once they reached camp, tired, but feeling successful, she looked to Leon as they trailed behind the others now that she was relaxed, with a smile she asked, "So. While that was hardly much of a quest...what did ya think?"

				The name Flemeth had all the guys except Leon in a tizzy. Leon having only heard a few myths or folktales, but he never invested much thought into them. "Are you guys really buying into some silly legends?", he asked the group. They looked at him as he was the crazy one. Although if she really was that Flemeth, then the feeling that Leon got was correct. Soon after they left and were led out by Morrigan, who was the resident of the area. Reaching the bonfire again they listened to her question and in the meanwhile Alistair went to fetch Duncan.&nbsp; Jory spoke up first, "Those creatures are Horrid beings. It was quite unnerving seeing them up close.". <br><br>Daveth spoke next, "Yeah, but they are not very skilled, atleast the ones we fought. Their technique is rather rudimentary". <br><br>True and they die just the same as we do", Leon added. "Overall it was a boring task", Leon stated, although it was the first time he had done anything like this. After he finished talking Alistair returned with Duncan.<br><br>Duncan spoke, "I am glad you all returned safely. Are you ready to begin the joining. I have had the circle magi working since you left to prepare for it.&nbsp; Come to the meeting at the back of the camp when you are ready", he stated walking off, after his speech. Leon followed behind walking at a relaxed pace. He was trying to control his nerves, it all comes to the opening of his journey as a warden here.

				Rae laughed a bit, "I see. Well. Remember this day boys, pretty soon you'll be craving a boring day out in the field." She saw Alistair nod in agreement and smiled at him before they met with Duncan. This was always a hard thing to see, the joining of a Grey Warden was at times majestic, powerful, intense, other times it was scary, dark, questionable. Rae said a small prayer that they would all make it, but she knew that it was something stupid to hope for. <br><br>She sighed as they made their to the back of the camp, walking together, solemnly as well. Soon they had gathered, a true ceremony would be taking place, a sacred ritual that could not ever be spoken of in public. The cup was ready and the air was grim, but Rae hoped for strength for these men as it began and the words from Alistair was spoken.<br><br>Daveth went first, a brace, secretive man, who took in his first sip. At first it seemed as if it might come through, Rae was sure he would, but the moment he stiffened and he turned an odd color, her hope was lost when he did.<br><br>Jory was next, but, he was afraid. He refused to go through with it and much to their horror, Duncan killed the Knight, Rae closed her eyes and turned her head, ignoring the pain of seeing such cruel acts, before Leon was up next.

This all seemed so dark and mysterious. The way Duncan spoke seemed so cold and Alistair's speech was almost like an eulogy. Leon's eyes met the cup, which was a silver vessel for the tainted blood. They did not leave it until Daveth dropped to the ground hunched over and pale. The chalice laid on the ground before Daveth's body. He did not make it. Leon watched Duncan move to Jory, with the silver cup next. Jory, who was obvilousy afraid, backed away. He kept refusing to drink from the chalice. "You fool, drink!", Leon thought. Next the fear drove Jory to do something he would regret, his hand reached for his blade. But it was to late, Duncan was quicker and his dagger pierced Jory's stomach.&nbsp; Jory clutched his stomach were the dagger had punctured him and fell to the ground. There were only two options drink and have a chance of living, or be struck down. Duncan had prepared the chalice for the third and final time. Receiving the cup from Duncan, Leon stared down into the black blood that filled the cup.&nbsp; It was almost as it was calling to him, without thinking Leon gulped the contents down, as some spilled out of the edge of his lips. His body convulsed with the influence of the taint. He fell to the ground, and passed out. The next minutes or hours was but a blur. He saw flashes of dragons and horrid creatures. He saw armies of Dark Spawn and towering giants. He could could not help but wonder what it all meant when he came to. His hand rubbing his head to persuade the headache to leave. "Uhh...", he exclaimed shaking the cob webs from his head. The taste lingered in his mouth, it was putrid metallic taste and Leon disparately needed a drink. The event from the night past flowed through his head and he stopped to bow his head. He wasn't a spiritual man nor a sentimental one, but he had fought with them, even if it was only once. Raising his head, he looked to see if he could spot Rae or Alistair.<br><br><div align="center">Join us brothers and sisters.<br>Join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant.<br>Join us as we carry the duty that can not be forsworn.<br>And should you perish, know that your sacrifice will not be forgotten.<br>And that one day we shall join you.</div><br>

				The moment Leon had fallen, all three of the Wardens' shoulders sagged in relief. He would make it through. They wait for a few minutes, watching him closely incase there were any changes, but soon he came to. Rae smiled brightly that Leon was one of the three, he had been the most skilled so far, and the most calm, while the bodies of Daveth and Jory had already been done away with, Leon's remained. As he looked up he would see Rae there, bent over and smiling with Duncan and Alistair behind her.<br><br>"Well hello," she piped and then stuck out a hand to help him up. Once he was to his feet, she brushed off his simple armour and then asked, "How are you feeling my friend? Better, worse? In between?" The joining had always been a rather scary even, when hers had came around she had the visions of dragons and ogres, tearing off the heads of innocents, of animals and people, such gruesome terrors had haunted her mind, she just hoped the same would not pass on to the man in front of her, but she was sure it would. Her and Alistair, as well as Duncan, had exchanged the images of horrific dreams.

				His eyes caught Rea's as he looked up, at first her questions seemed to be far off in the distance. Although she was standing directly in front of him. Her brown hair&nbsp; with honey color scatter through out neatly tucked away behind her ear. Her chest was rather noticable from this angle, causing Leon to advert his eyes for he had already been caught staring at her once before. His rough hand took her soft one, which he decided was one benefit of being a mage. With her help he lifted himself to his feet. His head still fuzzy he spoke in response to her question, "It was nothing I could not handle". <br><br>Alistair came up to him and said, "Lets not talk about this now, we must meet with the king". It was like he could sense Leon's reservation. Leon was not sure of himself right now and did not feel like answering question. The images were unclear and caused his he to explode with pain.<br><br>Leon looked to Rea and graciously thanked her, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine. Lets go and meet with the king". While the king did not seem to be a member of the corrupt ruling class. Leon could not put his past experiences behind him. He would not say a bad word about the man, but he looked to the other wardens and said before they left to meet with the king," Anyone else get the feeling the king is being a bit naive?". Leon had this unshakable feeling, after the nightmares, that something was going to go wrong. He scanned over the faces of his three companions. Duncan looked away with an agitated look and Alistair spoke up.<br><br>Alistair responded playfully, as he had recovered from his earlier bashing, "Naive is such a strong word, lets say that he is a kid at heart".&nbsp; Truer words were never spoken by the knight, which caused Leon to wonder why he deflected so many questions with jokes or light hearted banter. That being said Alistair was a professional when it came to killing Darkspawn and rather good at it too. Next Leon turned to Rea for her response.

				Leon's eagerness to keep moving and to keep it all hidden impressed Rae. When she had first awoken from her Joining, she sat for two hours, trying to process it all with Duncan by her side, answering any questions she may have had. But she supposed with such pressing matters at hand, sitting around and talking about their feelings and fears was not much of an option. She smiled and then nodded towards Leon, "Good. Let's go." They all walked along together, Rae joined Leon at his side and her brows rose at what he said.<br><br>She nodded a bit and said softly, "Just making sure my team mate was feelin' alright, but you're right, let us go." She sighed,King Cailan was a good man, handsome, and eager, also compassionate, but he was not her favorite. He was always making careless assumptions and heading into things without much thought. It was dangerous, the way he worked, but Rae just had learned to get over it in time.<br><br>At Leon's question, she blinked,listening to Alistair and seeing the look on Duncan's face, she smiled and then told Leon, "The king...is, well. He's dedicated to his people, and to his army. But he is also dedicated to the idea of going out with glory,of having his figure made into a statue and have legends of grandeur told about him for centuries. He is a little naive, yes, but he is pure in heart, that can not be said about many kings."

				As they walked along, Leon listened to his companions' words. Their words combined with the gestures of Duncan, who was fond of the king, Leon decided it would not be a bad thing to follow the king. It was very true, that he carried traits that several of his predecessors and kin did not. Broken white stone walls now surrounded them and out in front of them was a long oak table, which was surrounded by several members of the king's council. The king stood at the center of the long earth brown colored table, which contrasted with his gold plated armor that seemed to have the design of a dragon's snout running down the front of it. On the King's back was a two handed sword, which was the king's primary weapon. A few magi from the circle, who wore blue and yellow robes with silver staffs hanging on their back. Next to the king stood a man in ornate silver armor, from what Leon had heard that man was Loghain - hero of Riverdale. This was Cailan's top advisor, from the look of Loghain's displeased gestures he was not being listened to. The king was set on staging the final battle of the blight here, and Loghain was suggesting some other strategy, that Leon did not hear. When the Grey Warden's reached the table, Cailan greeted them as always. "Ah... Grey Wardens, you have a new full fledge member", Cailan stated looking to Leon. <br><br>"Yes, your majesty. He passed the joining and now stands with us", Duncan added to fill Cailan's curiosity. <br><br>"Good we will need every blade to win this battle. It will be a glorious occasion, and the bard's will sing of this day for several years to come", enthusiastically spieled Cailan. "Ah, of course we need every mage too", he added looking towards Rea. King Cailan looked back to his advisors, "Wardens, help me quell the fears of these men. They say it is foolish to play out our big conclusion. But this is the perfect place to end this blight is it not wardens?", Cailan inquired turning to gauge the expressions. Leon remained silent and stood at the back of the group waiting for Duncan, Rea, or Alistair to respond. Leon had never been in this type of situation, nor did he yet fully understand the magnitude of the battle they were about to engage in.&nbsp; <br><br>Duncan responded first, "Of course, your majesty. We will give it our all to end this here and now, so the blight will not ravage the lands as it has in the past". His words were spoken confidently and seemed to be infallible.&nbsp; It could have been Leon's unclear head, but he truly believed that they would come out of this victorious. <br><br>Alistair spoke up next, "Yes your majesty, we will not fail you". Leon did not know if Alistair spoke these words for the king or Duncan. He seemed to admire Duncan the most out of the group. But then again, he had been a warden the longest besides Duncan himself. Leon watched the King's face begin to glow with excitement. His companion's words obviously being true, the king was searching for glory.

				King Cailan was never an unpleasant man to speak with. He had a rather honest spirit about him and his optomistic views on the world were uplifting. However his thinking was rather childish and for him to believe that he could stop the Blight was nonsense, especially since it was fact that only a Grey Warden could kill the ArchDemon. However, Cailan was king, and while his thoughts were pretty out there, he meant it for good, not for evil, entirely.When the king motioned towards Rae as a mage, the elf just smiled and nodded her head to him she had often seen him eying her like a piece of meat, and he had flirted as well, but Rae had made their distance very clear.<br><br>Then again, a voluptuous elf who could wield magic was a very nice toy to have around. It did not phase her anymore when men or women tried to see more of her and tried to make passes. The only men who had not so in this camp was Duncan, Alistair, and the quartermaster. "Thank you your Majesty," she regarded Cailan with respect but her eyes glazed a bit as he spoke of glory and war. Here we go again...<br><br>She inhaled sharply as it was her turn, she smiled and then nodded, "Better to stop it as it's making head rather then wait I always say, what better time then now?" She ran her fingers through her hair and kicked at the ground before her hip bumped against Leon, urging him to talk some more.<br><br>Looking back up she smiled and then said,"We won't fell you, your Majesty, we promise." With that said, Loghain and Caillan began to bicker back and forth about strategies, Loghain definitely knew what he was talking about and Rae was going to ask something but Cailan cut in and put in his own ideas, completely messing up anything the advisor had conjured up.<br><br>"The grey wardens will go, Leon, Alistair, and Lady Rae, into the towers to light the beacon once my signal is given and we are in need of more men."

				Leon felt Rea's hip against his own, he was not sure exactly what it was meant for, but he thought it was some sort of encouragement. The king's words surprised Leon. He wanted the wardens to light the tower. Leon wondered why, after all, the wardens had the sole duty of fighting the darkspawn. What was the point of sending them off to a tower away from the battlefield. His questions would have to wait though for Alistair was clearly dissatisfied with the King's decisions. "The tower your majesty?", Alistair was the first to interrupt the king. "I do not understand, we should be down on the field with the rest of the men", Alistair pushed. His face was contorted to show his disapproval. Leon decided to back Alistair's play. <br><br>"Yes, I agree, the warden's should be fighting the darkspawn. Would we not be more effective on the ground fighting?", he asked very straightforwardly, causing the king and his advisor to stumble for words. He was never one to mask his statements with flattery or etiquette. Well, unless he was conning some one of their coin purses or pursuing pleasurable desires. <br><br>Their words would seem to be in vain when the Loghain barked,"You there, you could try to act as though your in the presence of royalty". This was the type of noble, Leon hated. He did not know what it was but the man made Leon's blood boil. <br><br>Causing his sharp tongue to become rather candid, "Better to speak my mind, then be a mindless cad". <br><br>After his words, Duncan intervened, "Now you two, this is no time to be bickering among ourselves". Duncan knew of Leon's jaded past and felt it would be better to stop this all, before it went any further. "Leon, you could use some mannerisms. Not all royalty is corrupt.", he stated. "I do apologize, he is a little hot under the collar when it comes to the matter of royalty and nobilities", he explained.<br><br>Next the king spoke, "Its quite alright, I have never like such mannerism anyways. Also Loghain had no right to correct the young man. If I had a problem, I would of handled it myself, isn't that right Loghain?", he asked the Teryn. <br><br>"Yes, your majesty, I am sorry", he stated rather dejectedly.<br><br>Leon then did the same, "I have had a bad run, I was too quick to judge". The king then walked around to the edge of the table, "The lighting of the tower is an important job and I would trust it to no one other then the Grey Wardens. You must not falter", he told them. <br><br>"Now may the Maker be with you all", he added as he left the table to get ready for the coming battle.

				The news of the beacon was not at all what Rae wanted.She had wanted to test out her newest spells and combat skills on the field! Not become some other pawn in the play of it all. She was one of the best magis here, she had more to learn of course but her talent was growing by the day! She wanted to fight darkspawn and have a part in all of this, not become some restless, mindless character who had to set something on fire...this was degrading.<br><br>Rae wanted to say something, but Alistair and Leon were saying enough, to caddy words and bickering made her tense, Loghain was to be respected, he had spoken to her before one on one about combat tactics, because she was an elf and grey warden, they had their differences but she upheld the advisor in a specific light, and to hear him be degraded, it made her unsure, uncomfortable.<br><br>However, the situation was brushed off and Cailan left, with the plan of going to light the beacon still in effect. Rae closed her eyes and sighed, turning to her friends, she smiled and shook her head, "Sorry guys, I know how badly we all wanted to go out there and kill things but alas, that...doesn't seem to be the plan. Anywho, we shall make the best of it, shall we not? Come, let's get our gear ready," despite her annoyance she was firm in the idea of trying to make this evening work.<br><br>When the night fell and the armies were in their places, Rae, Leon, and Alistair stood there ground, waiting for the moment when it would all begin, she sighed and looked around nervously, tapping her feet, licking her lips, grasping her staff and pulling on her armor. She hoped this would all go well.<br><br>Suddenly, the darkspawn appeared and the battle roared into existence, Rae inhaled and went forward at a quick pace, she seemed to be leading the group but really she was trying to get out of the way of the huge, flaming boulders.

				Fierce fiery boulders rain down overhead, as the group made its way across the bridge to the tower. Leon felt the excitement run through his vein and his heart pound. It was beating as face as a hummingbirds wings, but to him it appeared time had slowed. It was as if he could stand still and still be miles ahead of time itself. All around them bangs, clatters and overall booms shuddered the landscape. A battle was taking place and Leon loved it. Behind him a massive boulder, sent rubble into the air and past Leon's helm. He kept pace with the group as they crossed the white bridge, where an assortment of Circle Magi were launching an assault of magical spells. Fireballs rained down into the cluttered darkspawn lighting several on fire and killing more on the spot. In the distance, howls of the mabari war hound could be heard.&nbsp; At times Leon felt much empathy for the hounds, because he was very like them. They were smart, quick and talented at killing, just as he was. The thoughts were pushed out of his mind by a chilling scream, that was close to the tower. "They're here!", the voice rang out.<br><br>"What is here?", Leon asked the guard who wore brown armor, like Alistair's armor. He was clearly distraught and in a panic. <br><br>"They tunneled into the lower level of the towers. The Darkspawn!", the guard answered.<br><br>"Well, we still have to get to the tower, we'll just have to move faster. Lets get going", Leon commanded, not wanting to waste time. He left the clearly fearful guard behind moving toward the tower. Ahead laid a group of guards being attacked by Darkspawn. Leon rushed in to take them by surprise. One wielded a double bladed battle axe that matched any great sword in size. His armor was gold and hid most of his deformities. Leon slid behind the creature and hit gaps in his armor pinning him, so the knight that was under attack could finish the creature. Leon could here the blade and feel the energy from his other teammates beginning to fight. They would have to fight their way into the tower if not all the way to the top of the tower.
