The breach was gone, and Coryphaeus with it. The remaining rifts were sought after and closed, leaving the veil stable. Nelora saved Fereldan, Orlais, and every place in between. Peace flourished in the land, and everything was as it should be. However the Inquisition remained, taking on jobs that needed to be done, and still helping the inhabitants of Thedas.
Not everyone stayed at Skyhold though; Dorian was getting ready to head back to Tevinter to try and help his people, Vivienne left as soon as the breach was closed and everything stable, Blackwall went to officially join the Grey Wardens, but wouldn't return for a few months(he survived thankfully), Varric traveled back to Kirkwall, to continue to oversee the reconstruction, and reconnect with Hawke's friends, Sera disappeared with her Friends of Red Jenny's to do missions for the Inquisition and wouldn't return for quite some time, Cassandra started rebuilding the Seekers and would be for a while, and lastly the Iron Bull went with his Chargers and Cole to look for Solas a few months back, when the elf mysteriously disappeared after the Breach was closed.
The only few that remained at Skyhold was Cullen, Leliana, Josephine, Dorian, and Nelora. The five had a short meeting earlier that morning. Dorian said that he may have found a solution to Nelora's memory loss, but wasn't sure if it would work for a long period, or even work at all. Cullen was up to try it, Josephine was interested but Leliana was worried. 'What if this makes her memory even more worse?' The spymaster had said. 'Like you could make my memory worse.' Nelora had retorted.
It was noon now, and Nelora was sitting at one of the tables in the main hall, eyes narrowed in thought. "Get my memory back..." she mused, looking down at her drink. "It's been quite a few months since I woke up in the forests with Cullen..." After promising Cullen that she'd work with him about their predicament, Nelora had become more serious about her studies with Dorian. But their time was running out. Dorian had to leave for Tevinter in one week, and Nelora was planning on a trip to her clan's home. This was perhaps her last chance to try to get her memory back.
"Nelora?" a voice asked, and Nelora looked over in surprise. She hadn't heard anyone come in. A bulky person stood in the doorway of the main hall and Nelora's face brightened as she seen familiar horns sticking out of his head.
"Bull!" she yelped, jumping up. A boisterous laugh echoed as the Iron Bull walked into the hall. His Chargers and Cole followed soon after. Battered and beaten, but somehow still lively and bright. Nelora jumped up towards Bull, wrapping her small arms around his waist, well, half way. The qunari laughed again, and then picked her up. The elf squeaked before laughing, "It's good to see you again!"
"Aye, it's nice to see a friendly face after months of bandits and savage wildlife!" Bull said, smiling as he set Nelora back down.
"That bad huh?" the small elf asked, tilting her head.
"Nah, bandits are stupid and reckless, easily taken care of. Wolves and bears? Not so much."
"Haha! Well, it's glad to see that the wilds haven't given you too much trouble." Nelora said, before pausing as she seen a fresh nasty scar on Bull's shoulder. "That looks like it hurt." The wound was three long slashes from the top of his shoulder down to his chest.
"Large wolf, white long fur." Krem said walking up. "Beautiful creature." Nelora blinked at the soldier's words. Sounds a lot like the Spirit Wolf... She thought, before shaking it off. No, it's been how long and I haven't heard her faint lingering voice. Nelora stood up on the tips of her toes, and placed her hand on the wound, yellow light curling around the flesh, and knitting it back together. Bull felt little to no pain as Nelora healed the nasty wound, and was slightly surprised. Mage healing usually hurt, Nelora's had before, but this time it didn't. When Nelora pulled back her hand, the skin was new and scarless.
