In relation to my Inquisitor Kyoshi artwork:
[I’m posting this on its own since I’m not sure if people can see that I reblogged it from this post]
“I learned something during my time, in my world,” the painted woman stated, in quiet severity. Her gloved hand clutched the hilt of a small dagger.
“Only justice can bring peace.”
As if to mark the statement, she thrust the dagger into the War Table. Leliana, standing on the other side, silently observed. Dim fire’s light played soft reflections in the metal of the blade, and warmed Kyoshi’s stone cold, resolute expression. It was clear she was still angry, still confused - she didn’t want to be here. Yet here she stood, resolving herself to leadership. Leliana pondered her reasoning, but for Kyoshi herself, the matter was simple. It came down to duty.
Duty to her loved ones back home above all. With any luck, fixing this world’s problems might bring her back to her own. Back to what was real.
But then, what if there was no way back home? What would her reason be to lead an army? The death and devastation she had witnessed from the Conclave to Haven, she supposed, should be reason enough; yet the aching she felt for home left her in a state of limbo.
She chose to stay, simply because she must. Without the Inquisition, there was nowhere else. No purpose.
“I concur,” Leliana chimed in, acknowledging the sentiment as her own.
“Little can be done if one does not take action. I am glad we are of the same mind.”
Her statement ended in a smile just at the corners of her mouth, but Kyoshi did not stir from her focused position.
“I still have no idea if I can access the Avatar state like this. I have no idea if I can contact my past lives, or draw on their power. From what I’ve learned, it sounds like you need an Avatar,” Kyoshi paused to collect her thoughts, and continued with a sigh.
“But I’m not sure I can be one in this state. Whatever ”magic" this is,“ she continued, presenting her marked hand, ”I feel it has corrupted my connection to the spirit world. If what we learned about Corypheus is true, I fear I won’t be of much use in the upcoming battle.“
"Nonsense.” Leliana was quick to respond.
“Your harbor power like nothing we have ever seen, Inquisitor. You must understand,” there was an abrupt stop before she continued. It seemed an idea had come to her.
“You have taken time to speak with Solas, our resident expert on the Fade, no? I’ve theorized that if he can connect you to our "spirit world”, you may no longer have to fear your broken connection. Between him and Dagna, we should be able to come up with a viable solution.“
Yeeeeeah so it was late when I wrote this and I’m on mobile rn, this is all I could come up with for now ^^; it seems like this could make a really good fanfic! If anyone picks up this idea, do let me know so I can see everyone’s works and ideas! :D
