A year of drawing the trio 💜💚💙

I can't believe I have continued to draw these three for about a year now. Honestly that has never happened before. But I love that these three have helped me focus and get through another hard year. As well as everyone in the DAADY, RRAU and Dragon Age community for their support, especially @jupi-tercreates @hedgiestail @sleepingtodream. I may not really celebrate the holidays much anymore due to personal loss, but I am very grateful and love you all.

I hope to continue to draw the trio in the new year as they continue their adventures. As well as drawing more of their additional growing cast of supporting characters.

Double Dragon (Fire+Ice)

Part 2 - Second Dragon

The moment came sooner than expected for Arty and his crew. The following day, the Veilguard had gathered to take on one of the Elven God’s blighted dragons. But things got a bit more complicated when Ghilan'nain showed up with not only another blighted dragon, but an army of darkspawn. Everyone was here. Everyone would be distracted. Now was the time.

As the leader, Rook and their companions fought off the dragons down below in the pit, the others dealt with the many darkspawn that appeared around the battlefield up above.

Enrico cut down yet another one as he glanced around at everyone fighting. He had got separated from those he loved during the fight. He hoped they were handling themselves okay and that this would not be another repeat of Weisshaupt. He turned around, raising his shield ready to take down another darkspawn, but this time, it’s not a monster he faced. Well. almost not one.

“We meet again, Enrico,” Arty says, standing across from him on the battlefield, his staff in hand and prosthetic sentinel arm clutched into a fist.

Enrico huffed in annoyance, it wasn’t the first time they had met again since he took their arm, but still didn’t make it any less awkward. “Can’t say it’s a pleasure, but if haven’t noticed, we are in the middle of a battle.”

“Oh I have noticed indeed that everyone is too busy to save your ass this time,” he smirked, his magic flaring up.

“I’d like to see you try, but you can’t,” he taunted. “Not with that spirit attached to you.

As if on cue, Arty’s eyes light up orange as the spirit of disruption that shared his body, took over. “That’s right. Hi Riri,” the spirit, known as Chaos, happily says and waves their possessed hand. “He can’t hurt you.”

They clutched his head again as Arty pushed through the fade to take back his body, even just for a moment. “I may not. But they can.”

Enrico raised his eyebrow at that. “They?”

At that moment, an arrow landed by his foot. Enrico looked down at it confessed before it suddenly exploded, not enough to badly hurt him, but knockied him back down a slope by the side of the battlefield, into the pit where Rook fought the two dragons.

“Mierda,” Enrico cursed, holding his head, looking up at the top of the slope to see Arty looking down at him with two others beside him. One was a bearded blonde dwarf wielding a hammer and the other a tall Qunari wearing goggles and holding a bow.

“Oh you haven’t met my crew, have you?” He smirked down at his rival. “Roderick and Axell here are under my command and are just as keen on revenge as I am.” He nods to his two crew. “You know what to do.”

“Yes, Captain!” Axell and Roderick both say as they jump down the slope ready to attack Enrico.

“Shit, Riri!” Chaos takes over again in a panic, ready to help.

“I think you have other things to worry about,” Arty taunts in their mind as another wave of darkspawn hit the battlefield, blocking his way from helping. His just hoped Enrico would last until he was able to track down some help.

Back down at the bottom of the pit, Enrico was having trouble with his two attackers. He had dropped his shield when he was blasted away and only wielded his sword now. Damn these two were good. Plus he not only had to avoid their attacks on him, but the dragon battle going on along side them as fire and ice were blasted everywhere.

He just about managed to knock back the dwarf, but the Qunari had him on the ropes when they switched from their bow to a dagger.

“Today, I avenge my captain!” Axell yells, managing to get Enrico pinned as was about to strike his dagger down, when he suddenly stopped, his hand going to their chest. The pendant he wore around his neck, the one enchanted to find his family, it was vibrating hard and glowing.

“What-“ was all he managed to say before he was hit by a fireball, knocking him off Enrico.

Enrico blinks and looks around for his savour, just in time to see Esmee land a short distance away from them. Her hand still outstretched from the spell she just casted. “You get away from him!” She boldly yells.

“Esmee! Took you long enough,” he says, accepting her hand up. He looks around to see his other friend, Tish slide down perfectly.

“Here to save you again,” Tish says, unscathing her own daggers, pointing them at the two pirates who were picking themselves up. “In case you haven’t noticed, there is a fight going on.”

“We are always here for you. Good thing Chaos managed to find us on the battlefield in time,” Esmee says, turning her attention to the other two. “You two, we are meant to all be on the same side, there are bigger things going on.”

Roderick glares up at her, “Orders are orders lass,” he grunted, griping his hammer. “We can take ya all on if needed.” But before he could make a move, Axell puts out his hand to stop him. “Kid?”

In Axell’s other hand, he holds his glowing pendant, staring down at it in disbelief. “I don’t believe it…” he whispers, finally taking off his goggles to get a better look at Esmee. “You…Do you…Do you know me?”

Esmee raised her eyebrow at the fellow Qunari. “Should I?” She asks, confused.

Tish looks between the two, noting their similarities. “Same eyes, same horns, even same freckles,” she pointed out.

Enrico is staring slack jawed at them. “Esmee? Don’t tell me…”

Esmee looks back at her friends, taking in the information herself. Also remembering what the mirror showed her of her past. “You? Are you my-.”

Axell nods. “Esmee? Is that what you go by now? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, not going by your name when you probably don’t even know it. Not that I’m any better, I go by Axell now,” he clears his throat. “Esmee, I’m your brother.”

Everyone stares at each other in shock for a moment until Tish hears something coming at them. “Second dragon!”

“You’re telling me!” Enrico comments, still watching the reunited siblings.

“No you idiot, I mean actual dragon! Get down!” Tish yells at him just as the second dragon’s tail came swinging at them as it was busy fighting off Rook. They all managed to duck out the way from it.

“We can play happy families later, We need to move back upwards!”

“Right, right!” Esmee blinked back from her shock, she had so much to ask, but now they need to move. She reaches her hand out towards Axell. “Please! Put aside your differences with us and help!”

“Us?” Axell questioned, looking at the trio, all of a sudden made sense. The trio his captain wanted revenge on for taking his arm, included a Qunari, that he now knew as his long lost sister. “Right…” he looks to Roderick for assurance. “We need to help!”

Roderick had been watching this is all play out and gives a sigh. “Oh the captain isn’t gonna like this, but ye can explain it to him.”

The five of them out aside their differences to work together to get of the pit where the mighty Rook took on two dragons at once, back up to the darkspawn infested battlefield to rejoin the fight to aid their significant others as well.

———

After everything was over, both dragons defeated by the aid of the Crows and the Shadow Dragons arriving and the two Elven Gods fleeing.

They were all gathered together, all six of them. Tish, Enrico and Esmee on one side, Arty, Roderick and Axell on the other.

“So all this time, the amount you searched, she was right here the whole time,” Arty cursed, rubbing his temple, having just been filled in about everything.

“I guess so,” Axell lightly chuckles, rubbing the back of his head. “But isn’t this good news?”

“Not for our little side mission,” Roderick points out, glaring at Enrico.

“Bring it, see what happens,” Tish says, stepping in front of her silver haired friend.

“Enough!” Esmee pleads with them all. “We all need to stop this. Draw a line.”

Arty scoffs. “Easy for you to say, you didn’t loose an arm.”

“Too which I HAD to do to stop you from killing us,” Enrico pointed out in a huff.

Axell gives a look at his crew. “Captain, I…you know I would do anything for you. But…I can’t.” He hangs his head in shame, not sure what to do.

Roderick reaches up to lay a support hand on the Qunari’s back. “It’s okay, lad.”

“I’m not okay with it,” he scoffs. “But I won’t ask you to cut down your own sister, not after you just found her.” He turns away from them all before glaring back at Enrico. “But that doesn’t mean we friends now either.” With that, he walks off.

“I think that’s you getting off lightly, for now at least.” Roderick lightly chuckles before following his captain.

Axell sighs in relief. “Thank goodness, I never wanted to kill anyone in the first place. I’m so sorry,” he says to Enrico.

“Eh, I have killed for less in the past, as long as you’re cool with us at least. That’s all need,” Enrico smiles at him, patting Axell on the back before turning to Tish. “Come on, short but mighty, I’m sure there are others we need to see to while these two catch up.”

Tish nods in agreement as they both go off to seek out the others they have become close to in the Veilguard to make sure they were okay as well.

“I’ll catch up with you two later,” Esmee waves after them. She takes a breath and turns to her brother. Her twin brother, she still can’t quite believe it. “I have so much to ask, but for a start…” She pulls Axell in for one of her famous hugs.

Axell is taken back at first, but accepts the connect and hugs her back. “It’s a good start.”
