My rook's, Isha Thorok, tarot card. I love my sassy dwarf. Please don't focus too hard on the actual tower in the back, it's my first time doing backgrounds 🥺
I wanted to have a go at these codex prompts specifically #30 A note/letter that Rook never sent. The letter is heavily inspired by the letter that lemony Snicket sent Beatrice.
She was going to read out the letter to Emmrich after the tearstone battle. He'd eventually find it in her office.
My dearest Emmrich,
My brother suggested I write this letter. Something about getting all my thoughts in order and before you tell me off, yes I went to see avi by myself but the streets were surprisingly calm considering the sudden eclipse. I just needed to go somewhere where I wasn't rook, I was just Isha.
I'm not very good at jotting down my innermost thoughts and I'm probably just going to be rambling. I suppose I should get on with the reason for this silly letter.
I'm sorry for the words said in our argument. Personally, I wouldn't call our disagreement an argument. In my experience arguments usually ended with a black-eye but that's neither here nor there.
Either way I shouldn't have said it but the truth of the matter was is that I'm scared. I'm sodding terrified.
I'm scared that I'm leading you to what could be your death. I'm scared we won't succeed in the fight against the gods but mostly I was scared you didn't want me anymore, that you finally came to your senses and realised that I'm just a silly dwarf.
And before you interject, yes, I know I'm being daft because you’ve never made me feel small or stupid. I've never felt anything like how you make me feel, you treat me like I'm a precious gemstone or some goddess. It is very intoxicating.
I lost my chain of thought. What I was trying to say is that I know you're scared too and that's ok because we can be afraid together.
I know you think yourself a burden, a chore I would have to labour through, but my dear wonderful Emmrich you are a gift sent by whatever divine being there is and if the price for your love is grief then I would pay it tenfold for you.
Honestly I thought the conversation was going to go in a different direction. I thought since we were nearing the end of our adventure you were pondering the future, our future.
I assumed you'd ask me to join you nevarra and that you would panic that it was too big of a ask and I would make a joke that you had nothing to worry your brilliant mind about.
I never thought about what would come after, I just assumed that I would die in the fight against the gods, we are facing terrible odds, and if not afterwards I'd thought I’d go to my calling but that's not what I want now.
What I want is to join you in Nevarra, to see all your favourite places, to teach Manfred wicked grace and tell him stories at night, I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up with your scent on my pillow because let's face it I'm not going to wake up with you, what kind of madman wakes up at 4 in the morning. You are but that's besides the point.
I want it all, Emmrich. Every last morsel that you'll give me. I want to see the world through your eyes and be glad for the insight it gives me into your beautiful soul.
Whatever happens next, I want you to know that I love you and I will love you forever. Till I die and after I'm embraced into the stone, and when I find my way out of the deep roads, I'll drift about forever, till I find you again..
I will love you with no regard to the outrage of whoever opposes our union. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as we grow older. I will love you no matter what happens to you or me. I will love you if we succeed. I will love you if we fail. I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.
I love you always. Continuously and without reward or witness.

Hello dragon age people. I've just finished playing DA:O for the first time and I need to show someone my warden Brosca. I love dwarves and think they should get more love.
