READER'S POV

We arrived back at Haven and we were all exhausted from the fight from the Envy demon and getting the Templars to ally with us. I was still a bit shaken up by the memories I saw when Envy tried to take control of my mind and body including the future that would've happened if Envy had became a fake me. We got back and then I dismounted Blaze before I heard a familiar voice.

"Big sister's back!!"

I smiled when I saw Dylan running towards me and then I picked him up in my arms before giving him a big hug.

"Hey buddy."

"Big sis, what's wrong?" Dylan asked.

"Oh, I just needed a hug from you."

"Did it end badly?"

"Nope, we got the alliance with the Templars but...I saw some things not a little kid like you should see..."

'Well, that and I needed reassurance that you're okay, and not some fake,' I thought to myself before I gently rubbed his back.

"Thanks buddy, I needed that," I told him before we pulled away from each other.

"I'm glad I could help big sis," Dylan grinned before Cassandra came over to us.

"Herald, we should inform the advisors about what we have found."

"Yeah..." I mumbled before we headed for the chantry with Dylan in my arms. I didn't want to leave my side just yet. We got into the war room and explained what happened and what we discovered while helping the templars.

"Wait, the man that we saw in Val Royeaux wasn't the real Lord Seeker? he was a fake?" Dylan asked.

"That's right Dylan. Even I didn't see it until we stopped him."

"I guess that explains why he was so mean that lady before."

I nodded my head in agreement before I placed Dylan onto the ground.

Cullen looked over the notes that we found and said, "What you found in the Captain's quarters means the officers were willingly blighted half their knights with red lyrium."

"Even before some of them realised the Lord Seeker was replaced by a demon," Cassandra spoke with a frown.

"Which puts us in a position to demand more from our alliance. You should have consulted us first."

"I didn't have much of a choice. The order was in chaos. We had to shape it going forward or risk losing it entirely," I told Leiliana.

"An alliance with the Templars was our desired outcome, may we discuss their imminent arrival?"

"A few dozen veterans are coming ahead of the rest, to help seal the Breach."

"How soon until these veterans arrive?" I asked.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared which jump scared us and then a familiar figure appeared on the table.

"They're almost here. Templars don't like to be late."

"Ahh! demon!" Dylan shouted before he hugged my leg.

"Maker!"

Cullen shouted as he and Cassandra drew their swords and pointed them at Cole.

"Wait!" I stopped them before they could do anything.

"I came with you to help. I would have told you before, but you were busy."

"Its all right Cole. You just startled us, appearing out of nowhere like that," I told him.

"I wasn't air, I was here. You didn't see me. Most people don't until I let them," Cole spoke before he got off the table.
