Alistair's pov
I walked over to where Liliana, Elizabeth, and Whynn were standing and chatting. As I approached the conversation stopped. They all had a smile on their face as they looked at me and her. Questions raced through my head, but none of them reached my lips to be spoken.
"What were we talking about?" I managed to say finally. I felt Elizabeth's beautiful blue eyes watching me as I said those words. I just wanted to talk to Elizabeth alone again but, I doubt that was going to happen with these two around.
"Hey Elizabeth, I'd like to talk just me and you." I said. She faced me and smiled. "Lead the way." She said.
I walked with her back towards the campfire and we stopped next to it.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Elizabeth asked.
I couldn't help but stare at her beauty. Her eyes were enchanting, her face flawless and beautiful in every way, and her body... So beautiful and trimmed, I have no words to express it. She must've noticed my staring because she smiled up at me and started to blush.
"Ahem...um...I just wanted to give you this." I said as I pulled out a rose that I had put a preserving spell on.
She took the rose with a look of surprise. She held it gingerly and smelled it. "I think it's a lovely gift Alistair." She said. Before I could reply she had reached up and smashed her lips against mine. At first I stood shocked trying to comprehend what was going on and when I came back to my senses I started to kiss her back. The kiss felt so amazing, yet deep inside it felt wrong. I was a Templar, or at least I used to be, and she was a mage.
" A mage, of all things, why a Mage? " I thought. Mages were unpredictable and could become a demon at anytime. That makes them dangerous. Their link with the fade makes them venerable to possession by a demon.
I pulled away from her and slowly backed away and walked away. As I turned away from her I felt an extreme sadness when my eyes met hers. They were filled with utter confusion and pain. I don't know what I had been thinking. How could I be with someone like her?
