Dragon Age:Left Behind

Justice: AndersxfemHawke,Sebastianxfemhawke

Something was awry; he could feel it in his whole body. There had been no attempt to cover the tracks. Anyone would have been able to follow the trail of burned grass and shrubs.

He readied an arrow and continued forward, his ears picked up the sound of a man cursing and yelling.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes; he was close now. For years had he wondered whom his arrow would strike first, the mage of his protector?

He still remember that day as if had happened just minutes ago. Yet again had he been denied justice, she had let the mage live and even sided with the circle.

Hawke had chosen the abomination over him, turned her back without hesitation.

She had not even looked after him when he left them to their fate so true had her faith in the mage been.

He had believed in her and even if he refused to admit it had he felt strongly for her.

A storm of feeling crushed against him inside as he reached the clearing where the sound came from.

The sight he met made him lower his arrow. A lone man was on his knee gripping his head in agony, screaming blurred words. His voice and tone changed as he flared up in ghostly blue and back again. Tear streamed down his face and his hair had come lose. He looked worse than that time the Templars had searched Darktown for two weeks straight.

Sebastian steeled himself; this was no time to feel pity, not now when he was so close to get justice.

" Anders! Face me!" He screamed as he aimed his bow and released the arrow.

The mage flared up in blue and was up on his feet and counterattacked in mere seconds.

" LEAVE! "

Anders's voice sounded like thunder and Sebastian immediately knew that it was the so-called spirit Justice that spoke. For a short moment were the battle tense and he barley dodged the spells that were hurled at him. But after some time did Sebastian gain the upper hand, as it seemed like Anders's body weakened. Sebastian knew he would sooner or later run out of arrows so he changed tactic. Slowly he moved closer until he was close enough to deliver a swift kick and struck down the mage on his back. He pinned Anders down with his foot and aimed an arrow at his heart.

The blue light around Anders died out as Justice slipped away, loosing his grip.

Brown eyes now stared up into blue.

" Kill me... DO IT! What is the point anymore!"

Sebastian astonished by the words from his former comrade he widened his eyes and lower the arrow. Something was wrong, the Anders he knew were ready to do anything to free his fellow mages, he never faltered in his so called purpose.

" Where is Hawke?"

His question left his lips before he could stop himself, he did not know why but the question left a bad feeling. He saw how the mage looked away, his eyes focusing on something to the left of them.

Wary he followed the mage's eyes and noticed a dirty paper crumpled into a small ball. Sebastian observed Anders carefully as he reached for the paper and unfolded it; it was from Varric.

His heart sank and ached as he read it, at first he wanted to believe that it was a only a bad joke.

But as he read it for the third time the message sank in and the world suddenly lost its colours.

Sebastian's hands shook and he threw the letter to the ground, wanting it to vanish into nothing. He dropped his bow as he punched Anders and gripped his collar.

" How could you.... HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!"

Sebastian slammed the mage into the ground in fury when he averted his eyes. There was a storm inside of him, urge to kill and urge to grieve.

" I guess.... I guess this is justice too. I lost someone close to me and you lost someone close to you too."

He felt his sanity slip a bit as a laughter left his lips. He let go of Anders's collar and sat down on the ground next to the mage. Yes, Yes this was justice; they had now both lost someone dear to them. Anders was now suffering the same way he had... so why did this affect him so much. She had turned away from him, there should not exist any lasting feeling for her after what she did. Yet he could not help but to feel like someone had ripped out a part of him.

" Kill me. I have no reason to keep on going. Get your revenge as you wanted. "

Hatred swept over Sebastian like a cold shower as he eyed the mage, death was too merciful for him. If he had not started it all Elthina would still be alive... Hawke would still be alive. If she had not turned away from the Maker and Andraste to follow the mage she would have still been in this world and by his side. This man had robbed him of everything.

" I have changed my mind, you shall not die. Not here, not today, you will live and suffer the same way as I. " He practically spit out the words as he stood up with his bow and left the mage to his fate.
