❛ I lost him. I did it on purpose. ❜

It had been a tense situation from the start. A missive from Knight-Commander Meredith to not only hunt down a dangerous Maleficar, but to do so with one of the most powerful mages in Thedas. The Hero of Ferelden. She’d almost been tempted to ask if the Warden had seen her distant Amell cousin, but the haunted look of the elf’s eyes made her rethink it all. Hawke’s family had dealt with the Blight, yes, but the Warden struck it down personally. There was no telling what horrors she had seen, and it was best to leave those memories where they rest.

Hawke had stayed behind, battling demons conjured from the fugitive’s desperate attempt at escape. He had been so young, a split moment of her blood-shot gaze meeting that of Hawke. There was so malevolence or craze, like those of Quentin, only fear and loneliness. She’d sent the Hero forward while she finished the last of the abominations by flattening them against the Earth. Force Magic had its perks when used in the right situations.

Finding Mahariel without the prisoner was confusing, but the statement that followed was even more-so. Had Varric been present, he definitely would have taken the opportunity to record the blatant look of shock on Hawke’s face.

“ You…what? “

❛ Survival is a talent. ❜

❛ Crazy isn’t being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever. ❜

❛ Who has the courage to burn themselves? ❜

❛ Is insanity just a matter of dropping the act? ❜

❛ Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? ❜

❛ You need to be well fed, clothed, and housed to have time for this much self-pity. ❜

❛ When I am supposed to be awake, I am asleep; when I am supposed to speak, I am silent. When a pleasure offers itself to me, I avoid it. ❜

❛ There is thought, and then there is thinking about thoughts, and they don’t feel the same. ❜

❛ In a strange way we are free. We’ve reached the end of the line. We have nothing more to lose. ❜

❛ The world won’t stop because we aren’t in it anymore. ❜

❛ I can’t answer the real question. All I can tell you is, it’s easy. ❜

❛ I am lighter, airier than I’ve been in years. ❜

❛ I am not dead, yet something in me definitely is. ❜

❛ You meant that as an insult but I am taking it as a compliment. ❜

❛ What life can recover from that? ❜

❛ It’s a fairly accurate portrait of me. It’s accurate but it isn’t profound. ❜

❛ Pull yourself together! There’s nothing wrong with you. ❜

❛ It’s quiet. It’s like― I don’t know. It’s like falling off a cliff. ❜

❛ Once you start parsing a face, it’s a peculiar item: squishy, pointy, with lots of air vents and wet spots. ❜

❛ I lost him. I did it on purpose. ❜

❛ It’s a mean world. There’s nobody to take care of you out there. ❜

❛ Reality is getting too dense. ❜

❛ I’m ambivalent. In fact that’s my new favourite word. ❜

❛ I can’t come up with reassuring answers to the terrible questions you raise. ❜

❛ A spring day, the sort that gives people hope: all soft winds and delicate smells of warm earth. Suicide weather. ❜

❛ Twenty-five chocolate chip cookies would be the perfect dinner. ❜

❛ A thought is a hard thing to control. ❜

❛ Life demands skills I don’t have. ❜

❛ Light like this does not exist, but we wish it did. We wish the sun could make us young and beautiful. Most of all, we wish that everyone we knew could be brightened simply by our looking at them. ❜

❛ It never stops, even at night, it’s my lullaby. ❜

 She returns his smile with one of her own, though hers is one of shy courteousness. While she’d faced many a foe in her years, of varied social status, it wasn’t often she was face to face with another ‘hero.’ And this one with an entire historical crusade at the tips of his fingers, legions ready to stride forward under his banner. She once had the people of Kirkwall behind her, but this was an entirely foreign (and somewhat frightening) level of devotion.

He likely had his own circle of close companions, perhaps even one that stole his attention more than most. Holding those people and memories close would be in his benefit. Fate had a knack for ripping them from you when you least expected it..

“ Hawke. Nova’lee Hawke. If Corypheus’ return has not done that, then the discourse enjoys following in his prints certainly shall. “

Her eyes darted to the bustling courtyard below them, merchants and soldiers alike going through their daily routine. So many people, yet every single one had a part to play in the machine that was the Inquisition. He led them justly for a noble-born, something one rarely saw anymore. Varric’s letters had been eye-opening, and see it all in front of her made the situation all the more clear. If Corypheus was to be stopped, they had to make it happen as one united force.

“ Your hold is beautiful, Maxwell. The air, snow. It reminds me of Ferelden’s winter months. The snow always made the fields dazzle like crystal. “ There was a slight tone of homesickness to her words, gaze holding a fond light.

How Varric managed to smuggle one Fereldan’s most sought-after mages into Skyhold, under Rutherford’s keen watch, she would never know. Perhaps a slip of coin here, a dance of a silver-tongue there. The dwarf was always one step ahead of those around him, even while pressed under the thumb of his Nevarran jailer. Something told her when she met the woman, sparks would fly. Not necessarily good ones, either.

Skyhold’s imposing silhouette reminded her somewhat of the Gallows with its white stone peaks, yet it resonated with ancient energy. Any mage would be able to sense a long-forgotten tale hidden within its walls, perhaps even a templar. One could only hope the story of this place was not founded upon the backs of others, as Kirkwall had once been. Thoughts of home left a melancholy taste on Hawke’s tongue. Ten years had come and gone since she had last seen it, and yet the world seemed to remain in a constant state of chaos. That was why Varric reached out to her. Another staff, another voice to assess the situation and influence the masses. History once again drew upon its reluctant heroes, this time the threat was personal. She vowed to return the Magister to his grave, permanently.

Varric’s fond introduction finally broke the mage from her wall of thoughts, spine straightening as she descended steps to finally meet the fabled Herald of Andraste. The years were not kind to Mother, I now understand why she greyed so early. Strands of silver wove themselves into the mass of curls she kept tightly pinned atop her head, the occasional piece slipping free. Her gaze swept to the significantly taller man, piqued with a mix of curiosity and understanding. Young, thrown head-first (literally) into a title that would eventually define him, whether he liked it or not. Hopefully he would use it well, not squander it for fame or riches. Maintain his sense of duty, instead of descending into a red madness that would leave behind nothing but the echoes of a tortured scream. It made her shiver unconsciously, such thoughts creeping up unexpectedly. Her voice, timid but firm, spoke in spite of the fleeting memory.

“Varric, you know I no longer go by that title..You’re the Herald, if I’m not mistaken? The secrecy, you hopefully understand. After what they did..we had to be certain something similar woudln’t occur. Varric is much more compliant than I..”
