⧼ ☾✦ ⸻ ❝ Well, yes and no. ❞ She quickly said as the two walked around the wilderness of the Hinterlands. ❝ My reality is my reality but people try to change said reality by throwing in titles like the chosen one, the puppet and the elven bitch who was sent by Andraste herself. ❞ She does try and stop those rumors, it wasn't Andraste behind her, it was herself and the many allies that have helped her through the chaos she has found herself in. She denied being the Herald and then was suddenly forced as the Inquisitor.
It was the same old story for her.
She says no, she gets pulled in anyway, she says yes, she has upset someone in the inner circle. There was no winning in this game, therefore maybe the words of Hawke were right, letting them believe what they want to believe. However, she didn't want to be a story from some religion that she did not believe in. She had her Gods and her heart will not open up to the Maker nor his subjects.
❝ Sometimes fiction is just reality with minor tweaks, ask Varric about his stories of Hawke, you'll realize the writer is lying out of his arse every so slightly ! ❞ ⧽
