My Dear Commander

Red Lyrium

(Levallen is the nickname for the elven inquisitor in the game so I'm gonna use that from now on, enjoy reading lol)

Fabian was 5 years old, living his best life. Cullen was an amazing father to him and always helped out when Levellan couldn't do something since she had one arm. Solas hasn't dared to show up, he was probably planning something. Dorian and Bull loved to visit every once in a while, making sure the family were happy where they were. Cullen's brother and sister often visited and sometimes volunteered to be a nanny so they could get a little break with each other, possibly to make Fabian another sibling (wink wink).

Levallen kissed Cullen's neck as he thrusted one final time inside of her, releasing his seed. They moaned softly as she gripped onto his back. Cullen gently bit her neck, leaving a love bite. He gently pulled out and giggled, then he quickly looked around a tree. He saw Bull and Dorian playing with Fabian, not knowing what they did. Levallen smirked, gently tapping him on the shoulder.

"We still have more time, care for another round?" She said seductively.

Cullen immediately got hard and almost dove on her, accepting the offer. They made sure to keep quiet whilst they had their 'break.'

Fabian chased Dorian who had his thumb in between his fingers, "I got your nose!"

Fabian giggled and kept running after him as Bull watched. Bull noticed some of the bushes rustling then sighed, knowing what was going on. The pair eventually got dressed and fixed themselves before coming out of the bushes to join the rest. Fabian had clinged onto Dorian's leg, stopping him from running away. They both laughed as Bull looked at the couple.

"You both have fun in there?"

They looked at each other and started giggling. Bull just sighed, smiling. He loved how fresh their love were, as if they were unable to fall apart. Dorian picked up Fabian and held him above his head, making him 'fly' as he ran around the garden. The couple sat on the bench, cuddling up with one another. Bull handed Levallen a letter.

"Varic told us to give this to you urgently." Bull said.

Levallen opened the letter and looked at it. Her eyes began to widen. She looked at Cullen.

"Take Fabian to your sister. Now."

Cullen nodded, sensing the fear in her. He picked up his son and quickly left. Dorian came and sat by Levallen, confused.

"What's going on?"

Her face was pale as she stared at the letter, "Orlais... red lyrium is growing... fast... it'll soon come to Ferelden if we don't try to stop it.." she gulped.

Their eyes widened. They looked at each other before standing up. Dorian quickly caught up with Cullen to walk with him to his sister's house. He informed him of what was happening which made him speed up. They finally came back from dropping off Fabian and they got down to business.

"How can we destroy the red lyrium?" Bull asked.

"I don't know. We need to get rid of the red templars that have set up camp to the west of Orlais, see if there's information on red lyrium too." She commanded.

Cullen loved this side of her, the commanding, stern side. He can tell that she's focused on an objective, her drive to saving people and the country making him happy. Dorian started to pack food and supplies, as Bull gathered firewood so they can make camp wherever they go.

"We can't stay here. I suggest a cave or something that the red templars don't know of. We must warn the others."

Cullen held her hand, "I'm sure Varic will be doing that as we speak."

She nodded, breathing shakily. She was terrified of losing her friends and her family to this destruction. The four set off to Orlais after saying their goodbyes to Cullen's family, and headed straight to Emprise Du Lion where the heart of the red lyrium was.

Time pass

The four set up a camp in a cave after killing the giant spiders and deepstalkers that stood in their way. They weren't near any red lyrium so they were safe for the time being. They sat by the campfire, discussing their plan of attack. Levallen sat away from them as they argued about their plan.

"If we charge straight in we'll all die, or worse!" Cullen said.

"If we flank we will be too slow!" Bull argued.

"We need an army, the four of us can't do this by ourselves!" Dorian added.

"How long will the others take huh? Months? Ferelden may be destroyed by then. I say we go now." Bull said.

Levallen started to sniffle. They all looked over and saw that she was trying not to cry. Cullen immediately ran over and hugged her. She sobbed in his shoulder, clinging onto him. The other two walked over and comforted her. She felt so much pressure, but she couldn't sit by and do nothing...
