Old Friends and New Adventures

Chapter 1:

I looked upon the castle. These people are the inquisition. This magnificent castle, Skyhold, the home of change.

I picked up my pace towards the gates. I was met by some guards they had the smell of lyrium on them, templars.

"What is your business here?" One of the ex-templars bluntly asked

"Is that how you treat your guests?" I sarcastically stated, "but I am here to see the Fade expert, I have some information that he may find useful." I looked about I didn't expect this place to be so heavily guarded.

They looked at each other and the other nodded, "you may pass, we'll send word to the Inquisitor and the Commander that you have arrived."

I nodded gracefully, "thank you lads." They sent a soldier to run up and let the team know. I slowly walked up the bridge that led me into the stairwell that led up to the castle.

I was met by a strong glare from who I can only assume was the Seeker, Cassandra Pentaghast, I nodded and smiled towards her. The Inquisitor came up to me, "hello, I'm Ainsly Trevelyan, I was told you had information about the fade?" I noticed the sword and shield that sat nicely on her body.

"Nice to meet you Inquisitor, yes I do. I wouldn't mind discussing..." I looked at the stairs that led up into the throne room and walking down was the man I was looking for. Solas he called himself, I chucked when I heard that.

"Fen!!" I called out. He looked directly at me with complete shock. It was spread all over his face. Everyone turned to look at him as if they've never seen pure surprise on the man.

I smiled at him, the Inquisitor called out to Solas, "you know this woman?"

He glared at me, "I believe so," he contained the shock and continued walking down the stairs to greet me.

I chuckled a little, he couldn't have thought I'd be gone forever never to see his stern face again.

He stood before me, still glaring, "Old friend," he greeted me plainly, like he forgot my name.

"Solas," I nodded to greet. "Would you like to take a walk? I have much to discuss with you, it has been too long my friend."

He agreed, and we walked out of the castle in seclusion.

We slowed at a good distance from the castle.

"I feel you don't remember me Fen," concern crossed my face.

"There is only one person who calls me Fen," he smiled. Though the way his face broke when he smiled seemed like he hadn't done so in a long time.

"Fen'Harel, what are you doing here? Of all places?" He felt slightly uncomfortable with me using his name. "What's wrong?" The pit of my stomach began to ache. He's done something bad. Worse than putting our family into the prison they live in today. He stayed silent and walked a little in front of me. "The Orb?" He stopped suddenly, and looked to his feet. I gasped. "This.. This is the orbs doing?" I felt my heart drop, our family... "Who?" Anger began to consume me, I wanted to kill the one who used our artefact for this.

His shoulders dropped, "the Inquisitions currently looking for him."

I wrapped my arms around him, "Fen, everything will work out, sure it doesn't look like it and we will get the Orb back okay? But please let me help, I can use my ability to track him down. Let me feel for him. His anger is strong I might be able to pinpoint it."

Solas wrapped his arms around me in return, it was nice to feel him again. Something so familiar but I felt the difference. I pulled out and grabbed his face between my hands, "everything will be fine. Sure I can't tell the future but I can feel it in the pit of stomach, everything will turn out fine. We will work through this together. But you feel so..."
