시작의 새벽/Dawn of Beginning

Chapter Twenty-Four

Sirena watch as Evelyn walked past with what looked like determination on her face. She glanced back down at Varric to see him peering over at someone. It was then she realized that whatever conversation they were having had died. She then saw the dwarf look up at her. The American knew they had the same line of thought going through their heads. Something was going to happen.

"Both Curly and Evelyn are walking towards the chantry. What was said during the last meeting?" He asked hoping to get some answers.

"The veteran templars are coming sooner than the others to settle in and help with the breach. Evelyn was advised to talk to them and all that she needed to do to prepare for the closing of the breach." Sirena informed Varric in on what had was said in the war room.

"Is there a way she could prepare quickly?"

"It would be impossible honestly... Though, I would not put it past her." She said before shrugging her shoulders.

"You may need to head over to the war room." The American nodded her head in agreement, taking a step backwards. She didn't want to miss the next meeting, that much she knew.

"I may or may not be able to chat later. I don't know what's going to happen." That was clearly a lie since she did know what was going to happen; she did play the game multiple times. Her blue-green eyes caught sight of Varric waving his hand at her like he was telling her to get going.

"Yeah, I get it. You might end up getting busy with Inquisition stuff. Don't just stand there and get going, you don't want to keep them waiting." The Herald's "cousin" nodded her head again then ran off towards the Chantry to catch up with the Herald of Andraste. It was fairly easy to run when there was a clear path where the snow didn't cover the ground. That meant less chance of slipping and falling on her face. When she looked over towards the Chantry, there was Evelyn Trevelyan in front of the doors. Sirena ran towards the woman who took her in as family which she found very odd still. Why trust someone she didn't know? If the shoe were on the other foot, she would have sent herself to be questioned. After she was standing next to the older woman, the American spoke up so she could know what was going on.

"Hey Evelyn, what are you doing at the Chantry?" Trevelyan glanced down at the girl before answering her question while taking a deep breath.

"I have prepared myself for the closing of the breach. I have also talked to the templars and they had already come up with a plan so here I am on my way to the war room to discuss it with the others." Sirena watched her push the doors open before making her way to the room they needed to go to and it was going to be the time Evelyn was to become the true Herald of Andraste.

As soon as they were inside the room where they assigned missions; they had moved to their designated spots. The outlander looked over the map and noticed there were not a whole lot to be done for reports. It was then she heard the door open behind her as footsteps were also heard. Seemed like the meeting would commence soon after everyone showed they were paying attention. The young American looked around to see everyone in their spots, waiting for their Herald to speak while silently passing their reports to her. She raised a brow at everyone and shook her head before skimming the words on each report before passing them back to the owners while giving one nod of approach. Sirena then gave them new assignments as they continued to wait for the Herald to speak.

"It's time." Evelyn simply said with her head held high and the foreign to Thedas knew what that meant. It meant it was time to close the breach.

"Are you sure you and the templars are ready? You must be certain." The Commander asked not believing it was enough time for them to be ready to close the breach.
