Chapter 29: Meeting old Friends, Helping an Elf and Bertrand's return
Waking up Logan sees that the twins were out of bed while Abigail was still by his side. "How was it yesterday, what did you do after rescuing the Qunari and sending them back," says Abigail and Logan says, "I was taking care of some Bloodmages that Cullin's friend needed help with." "Do you mean the one that kills my mother?" asks Abigail and Logan says, "Yeah he is no problem anymore since he is dead as well as his student."
Abigail kisses him and says, "Thank you." "How about you how was your day?" asks Logan and Abigail says, "We needed to split up after finding Javaris because of some slavers that wanted to take Fenris with them. Have you seen the elf that is now working here poor girl lost her father to them in a blood magic ritual. I have given her a job with a nice pay as our maid while Fenris misunderstood it at first he apologized after that. Carver and Merrill where together hunting some mirror shards and Anders was with Solona hunting some templar that needed some punishment for using the rite of tranquility on innocent mages. After that, we all meet again with Varric at the docks to find the one responsible for the stolen formula before they could use it. And that's all we need to see the Arishok today."
"Hoped to have some days free to rest a bit," says Logan and Abigail says, "Come on it just some days after all that you can rest for three years again." "I just hope so don't want to make a big scene when we have so much to do," says Logan and Bodahn knocks on the door and says, "Logan you have visitors." "Who could it be there is only one person that it can be," says Logan and dresses up the same does Abigail and go to the living room where they found a redhead and a blond elf waiting for them.
"Leliana and Lyna nice to meet you again," says Logan and Leliana says, "You look good for a supposed dead person how have you been." "I'm fine here this is my wife Abigail," says Logan and Abigail nods and says, "Nice to meet you my name is Abigail Hawke through you know that already Sister Leliana." "Yeah, it been long since I have seen you Abigail but I'm not a sister any longer. Well technically yes but not at all. That over here is Lyna you didn't meet since after meeting the others wardens they left together Lothering." says Leliana and suddenly the twins came into the living room with Leandra.
"Mom," says the both hugging Abigail's leg and Leliana asks, "Those are yours?" "Yeah, she brought them two years ago to the world," says Logan and Lyna wanted to hug Evelyn only to find out that Evelyn didn't want but Malcolm jumped straight into her arms and Logan says, "These are your aunt Leliana and Lyna both helped your Dad when he was in trouble so be nice to them alright Evelyn." And Evelyn nods and gives a hug to Lyna after hearing this.
"She is more of a tranquil and suspicious type is she?" says Leliana and Logan says, "Like my brother, in the beginning, it will change with time also Lyna have you meet your clan they are in Sundermount and Merrill is in Kirkwall." "No I just arrived today and since you told us if we needed help to come to see you," says Lyna and continues asking, "Why is Merrill in the city and not with the clan?" "Because she is rebuilding the eluvian against Marethari order to leave it be. That why she is in the city so I can keep an eye on her so nothing bad happens," says Logan and Lyna understood what was going on and says, "Can I meet her?" "Maybe later but now why are you here?" asks Logan and Leliana says, "It's about the Qunari and Kirkwall tension as well as the tension between the mages and templars here the Divine is worried and wanted me to look into it."
"The Qunari should be no problem since they will soon be taken care of and the tension between mages and templars will explode in three years," says Logan and Leliana says, "Informed like always I can see." "Leliana, whatever happens, it needs to happen do you understand many will die but there will more die if it doesn't happen understood," says Logan serious at Leliana and continues with, "We all will lose many people while walking this path I already lost my first friend to the Darkspawn. Lyna would have lost her clan if I didn't intervene with some demon problem they had. And Abigail would have lost her mother but you need to understand that in the future someone near to you will die maybe not in 5 years but I think it is at 10-13 years from now and when it happens don't go on your knees to pray hoping he will hear you in this nightmare, but look for a man or woman of any races that will come out of the fade with a green scare on his or her hand he or she will help you until its time for me and Abigail to return and help you. Varric will know when it is time for us to return trust him."
"So you want me to keep a cool head in a situation where I lose someone dear to me." says Leliana and Logan says, "Like I did when Duncan died." "Fine," says Leliana and Logan says, "If not you will kill the poor fool that was just at the wrong time at the wrong place."
"So now what are their names you didn't tell us," says Lyna holding the two in her arms. "Malcolm and Evelyn after our parents," says Abigail taking Evelyn back since she was struggling to go down.
"Now that you are here why not stay for today and leave tomorrow in the morning while I entertain you. I will be right back," says Logan and leaves the room and makes a clone of himself and sends it back in while waiting for Abigail outside.
"Now Abigail how about you leave for work while I look after them." says the clone taking Evelyn from Abigail's arms and sends her away. Abigail leaves only to find Logan outside.
"Is it a clone or you in there?" asks Abigail and Logan says, "It's a clone powerful enough to destroy everything in its path to save the two now let's go."
Both leave the house towards the docks to meet with the Arishok. Entering the compound the talk to the Arishok about what happened. "So a crazy elf and a crazy templar were responsible for everything that happened," says the Arishok and Logan says, "Told you so that the dwarf wasn't it. He might be greedy but not crazy enough to do it. So what will you do now." "Nothing we wait as we did three years ago. Panahedan you two." says the Arishok and both leave.
"Varric needs some help with his brother he returned yesterday but we didn't do anything since you were away hunting Bloodmages," says Abigail and Logan says "Anything else to do is Varric's problem all for today." "Should be all Anders problem was solved as well as Merrill's and Fenris. Sebastian already cleared his problem I think with Dino and Bethany last time I visited with the twins. The Bone Pit Cave business was taken care of by Carver with some help and Isabella has a hunch were her artifact could be, though we know it's the Tome of Koslun that she wants. Why does she always find trouble for us? *sighs*" says Abigail and both wanted to go to the hanged man to drink something when Merrill suddenly appears looking for them in front of the Hanged Man.
"Hawke bad news Keeper Marethari need help with Feynriel, he is trapped in the fade," says Merrill and Logan says, "Right I forgot about the dreamer and the trip to the fade." "Wait we are going into the fade?" asks Abigail and Logan says, "Yes just as spiritually not physically." "You gave me a scare there."
They enter and picked Isabella up and told Varric they will meet him later for his brother. Then they leave altogether following Merrill towards the Alienage to the house of Arianni were Marethari was waiting for them.
"Andaran atish'an Logan and Abigail and your friend too. I hope Merrill told you why you are here," says Marethari and Logan says, "The dreamer has some troubles am I right." "Yes, he needs your help," says Marethari and Logan says, "Let's begin do you three wanna come too or just me having all the fun." "We are all going so forget about going alone," says Abigail and Marethari calls Logan and Abigail over to talk privately with them.
"If you can't bring him back it's better to make him a tranquil it is safer for him and the world too. If he has a strong spirit then bring him back otherwise he could become an Abomination and kill people," says Marethari and then returns to prepare to perform the ritual.
"What do we do?" asks Abigail looking a little sad that she might have to tranquilize a poor boy because of his rare magic ability. "If he is strong then you don't need to do it.
Don't forget I can also seal his abilities away so he doesn't become unemotional like the others he will be a normal man," says Logan and gets kissed on his cheek by Abigail, who says, "I will recompense you later."
Marethari performs the ritual and everyone landed in the fade that shaped itself like the Gallows they looked around finding a shade that wanted to talk but it got cut down by Logan before it could say anything. "Now here is the thing there are two demons fighting over Feynriel body a pride demon and a desire demon one on the left the other on the right," says Logan while pointing at the doors.
"So run in and release the boy that is really easy," says Isabella and Logan says, "Yeah easy it would have been but he is a prisoner of an Illusion that we have to break first." "Still easy with your eyes," whispers Abigail lowly so only Logan could hear her. "*cough* Let's make it fast so he will not be traumatized by the demons," says Logan and walks to one of the doors while the others follow.
Opening it you see how Marethari was with Feynriel giving him the charge over the elves at camp. And Abigail took the form of another Elf that Logan recognizes to be First Enchanter Orsino and begins to talk and brings Feynriel to reason. Feynriel freed himself from the demon Illusion and disappeared from the room leaving only Marethari and the group behind. Marethari begins to take a new shape and became a Pride Demon it tried to seduce Merrill but it didn't work because of the fear she has from Logan. When they trained for two years Logan never has gone serious against them all when it was a fight 1 vs all and he always won.
Just having him as an enemy gives Merrill shivers. She attacked first then the others followed killing the demon then they walked to the other side and opened that door this time Feynriel was still a kid learning how to read and write beside him was his father Vincento teaching him while Abigail transformed into Arianni in this room. She begins to reason with him again but this time it needed some more time than in the other room.
After Feynriel remembered that he was fooled by this demon he disappeared again and only Vincento was left in the room with the group and transformed into a Desire Demon and it began to bargain this time with Isabella with no success since she felt the same as Merrill when it comes to Logan and attacks it with the group.
After the fight, they return to the Hallway they started and find Feynriel fighting with his mind to wake up. "Thank you for helping me but you need to make me a tranquil I can't live with this power, please," says Feynriel and Abigail says, "Well we have a better solution for you were you will not lose your emotions how about that." "As long as I don't have to pass through the same thing again I will take the option," says Feynriel and Logan begins to make hand seals so fast that the other couldn't see how his hand moved.
Logan the puts his hand on Feynriel's abdomen and seals all his magic power in the seal reinforcing it three times. "That should do it you should return now your mother is worried about you," says Logan and Feynriel only knees in relieve thanking the group for their help in freeing him.
The group awakens at Arianni's house and Marethari asks, "How is he?" "He should be fine my husband has sealed his magic abilities he will now be a normal man from now on," says Abigail and continues saying, "You should go to my house in Hightown there will be a surprise to you Merrill should go too."
"What could that be?" asks Marethari and Logan says, "It's a person once there don't say you saw me here." And Marethari and Merrill leave Arianni's house while Arianni says her thanks to them. And the other three leave for the Hanged Man to meet Varric to help with his brother conflict.
Arriving at the Hanged Man they drink ale and then move out again with Varric towards Bertrand's Estate in Hightown. Once there Varric opens the door with his prestidigitation and they enter only to find out that everywhere were dead Dwarves lying on the floor of the Estate. Demons appeared like it was ritual and they had to fight the undead that raised from the ground fighting themselves a way to Bertrand's bedroom. Entering it Varric only saw his crazy brother talking to himself.
"Is that really the best we could do?" asks Varric and Logan says, "There are two options from here now. Let him live while living in an asylum or killing him your decision he is your brother." "If I put him in the asylum will he get better?" asks Varric and Logan says, "That's something we have to find out ourselves. It was nowhere written that he couldn't recover so you still have hope. You took your decision." "Yes, it will be the asylum," says Varric and Logan walks to a bookshelf and tries to feel the tainted Lyrium. Once found he takes it and says, "Varric it would be best if I trust you with this keep it locked up in a safe place that never will ever find." "Now I need to find someone to clean this all to sell it.*sighs*" says Varric to the group and takes his brother away to send him away.
After that, they all part ways and Logan returns with Abigail to the Amell Estate to find the kids already sleeping while the clone was still entertaining the guest. "So you return and don't think we wouldn't recognize when the real Logan isn't around," says Lyna while Leliana says, "Evelyn could tell the moment the clone hold her she wanted to jump out of his arms that's when we realized it wasn't you." "*sighs* Should have known that my daughter is to intelligent like my brother. At least Malcolm comes to be like me to trustworthy to everyone until I got older and I found out who to give my trust and who not to," says Logan and Abigail begins to laugh at him and says, "You should have known that she would be suspicious the moment you went out and returned shortly after. She might be two but she can read auras around bodies already. Your clone and you look the same but give out different auras from your body. You give the aura like a father while the clone an aura of protection pretty easy to distinguish the two."
"Does that mean that my little angel is a mage it is it her instinct that tells her that," says Logan and sits down on a chair in the living room and Abigail says, "Too early to be determined if she is a mage until she is six nothing manifest really. Do you know how I burned the barn down without knowing that it was me if not for my father I would have been taken away a long time ago."
"How was the surprise we send you Lyna?" asks Logan and Lyna answers, "Thank you for this it has been a long time since I have seen one of my family members. We talked a bit and I lectured Merrill a bit about her stubbornness with the mirror it's almost an addiction for her. Why did you let her continue with it?"
"Why not the harmful think was already destroyed by me 3 years ago. And everyone needs something to do in their life. So let's leave her with the mirror until she finished and finds out what it can do she might as well destroy it again." says Logan and Abigail asks, "You never told us what it could do. So what can it do?"
"It can open a door to another eluvian or the fade itself trust me you don't want to enter the fade physically it's not a nice view have seen it once and Abigail will see it in some years," says Logan and Leliana says, "You mean with the mirror you could enter the fade and even the black city." "That's right I could tell you a secret about the fade do you wanna know it?" asks Logan and all three nods wanting to know it he continues and says, "The fade was not a dream world before it was on Thedas mixed with this very realm why do you think the elf lost their longevity it was because someone sealed the fade away with all his power and then six idiots entered the golden city a taboo known by the elves of old but not to men and everything got downhill. Who do you think was the one sealing the fade away? Lyna you should know it."
"Who was it? Was it maybe one of our gods." says Lyna and Logan says, "Half right they were strong but not really Gods they were only powerful mages ruling over their people some good some bad. Mythal was a good ruler everyone of the others had envied her and they attacked her triggering this event that would change the elves forever. Fen'Harel himself angry at the others betraying Mythal a close friend of him used a powerful spell sealing the fade away from everyone. Before demon where spirit but after eons, some changed while others still keep their spirit form. Before there were more mages even the first Inquisitor was a Dalish Elf and a Mage on top of it." "So you say Fen'Harel used a powerful spell that robbed us of the fade sealing it away. Now I need time to think about everything," says Lyna and the other to were holding there head to just thinking about it.
"Oh, and two of you already talked with Mythal herself some years ago," says Logan and Abigail says, "Do you mean Flemeth." "That's right a soul fraction entered her body like in the story told have you forgotten it telling she found a demon and made a deal well it was Mythal after all she was justice under the elves am I right Lyna," says Logan and Lyna nods the Logan says, "Well its time to sleep so see you tomorrow morning."
Logan carried Abigail that was still thinking about her meeting an old elven God not to long ago to bed and lied her down beside Evelyn and he got to the other side to sleep next to Malcolm so they don't roll off the bed and goes to sleep.
