"I will never forget you." His velvet voice said to me. I could no longer see him, because of the light engulfing me. I was on my knees and when I tried to stand, I fell. I grabbed for my left arm, but it was gone. "Last time you took my heart, this time you take my heart and my arm!" I said sarcastically.

My head is pounding and my arm, or what's left of it, is gushing blood. I'll pass out if I don't hurry, I think to myself. I stand and half crawl-half walk to the eluvian. I put my hand to the moving glass, "I won't loose you again." I push through to see a storage room of some kind, like back at The Sanctuary in the lake we saw earlier.

I walk to the door, clutching my elbow. My head feels like it's about to implode, but I push through. I push open the door. There is no one here, but I do recognize the room. It's the weapons room from the Sanctuary. I head for the stairs, grabbing a bandage off a table, I crudely wrap it around my stub of an arm.

"Solas!" I call, treading up the steps. The exit at the top of the stairs is covered. "Fenedhis," I curse. I can no longer see straight, I know I don't have much time. So I summon the last bit of my energy and I blast the stone covering the doorway. It crumbles allowing me to get out. "Solas!" I call right as I step into the light. But I collapse before I even hit the ground as I fall.

I awake to a grand room, even more than my room in Skyhold. The sheets are of the highest quality and the bed is soft and high quality. "Solas!" I call frantically. "Right here, Emma Lath." I follow his voice. And I see him rise from his chair beside the bed and kneel by the bed grabbing my right hand. "How are you feeling? you lost a lot of blood and suffered a blow to your head when you fell at the Sanctuary." He smiles sadly, and all I can do is marvel at his perfection.

But I quickly regain my composure. "My head hurts but I've suffered worse." He chuckle, but I continue. "Ma melava halani. You helped me. Why?" He looked at me as if I were mad, "Why would I help you!? What a preposterous notion! I helped you because I love you, and I would not see you harmed because of me." I chuckle slightly after a moment. "What is so funny?" He asks. "Nothing. You just said you loved me."

"I do... love you that is. I always have." He says slightly. "Well for what it's worth. I love you too." I grab his neck and pull him toward me. He smiles right before our lips touch. And we are enveloped in a world-shattering kiss. I pull away a time later. "Mind if I stay a while?" I ask, smiling. "Stay as long as you like."
