Chapter 1

Faeth's POV

I was curled up in my bubba's arms as he walked us somewhere. Mama and Papa told my second big bubba to take me with him to a place called the Conclave. They said I was small enough to easily sneak around and check for danger or any important stuff. I don't know what they meant by that but I just went with it. My bubba Maxwell did not look happy. Plastered on his face was a really angry and displeased frown. His dark brown eyes were filled with anger.

"What's wrong?" I asked while peeking out of his arms and looking up at him.

"I hate the fact that I have to bring you here." He said sourly. I frowned. He signed, "I mean this could be very dangerous. What if something happens to one of us or both of us?" He asked.

"I don't know." I said softly.

"What's the use. I'm just talking to a toddler who knows not much words of her own." He said softly. I frown.

"Why are you so mean, Bubba?" I asked. Tears prickling in my baby blue eyes. My eyes represented more of Mama's eyes. While his eyes took after Papa's.

"Well it's true! You're just a small child who can walk on her own but chooses not too. You don't know how to read or write. You can barley talk like a normal person. I hate the fact that our parents made me bring you here!" He yelled.

"I'm only three! I try!" I yelled with anger as my tiny body shook with tears. As he walked on farther people would stop and stare at us. I watched as they whispered softly to each other. I could just barley catch what one person said.

"Why is a child here? I certainly hope the Mage's and Templar's don't fight while she's here." A lady with light brown skin said. Her brown hair was long down her back and her eyes were brown with curiosity as she stared at us. There was a man next to her he looked similar to her but his hair was much shorter .

"Will there be fighting?" I asked softly as I turned my face to look at Bubba

"I hope not!" Maxwell yelled angrily.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked. He signed deeply as he moved his arms to where I was now facing him and he could see me. His thumb wiped my tears away as he kissed my forehead softly.

"No I'm not mad at you. I'm just very irritated that Mother and Father made me bring you here. I mean this is a place for adults not children. It could possibly not be safe either." He said.

"Oh." I said softly while looking down. He lifted my chin back up. His eyes showing love in protection in them.

"Whatever happens, it will be ok. I am here. I wont leave your side." He said. I smiled.

"Ok!" I cheered as he walked up to a chantry like building. As Bubba walked into the building a lady came up to us.

"Ah, you must be Bann Trevelyan's youngest son. Oh who is this little one?" The lady asked while looking down at me. Shyly I shrank and hid myself in Bubba's arms.

"This is my little sister Faeth." He said while rubbing my back. I peeked slowly out. My long orange hair getting in my eyes.

"Well, the Conclave is defiantly no place for a child but I can tell by the sound of your voice you had no choice but to bring her here." The lady said.

"My parents told me to bring her." Bubba said.

"Ah. Well, the meeting is about to start so I must go and get ready." The lady said. Bubba bowed as she left.

"Who was she?" I asked.

"That was Divine Justinia." Bubba said.

"The Divine? Like in the stories?" I asked. Bubba laughed.

"Yes," He said while placing me on a seat near the enterence of the door we walked into. "Now I need you to stay right here real quick while I go get us something to eat before the meeting starts."

"Ok." I said while looking around the place. He kneels down and kisses my head.

"I'll be right back." He said. Once he was gone my curiosity got the best of me as I slid off of the seat I was in and slowly walked around the place. There were huge people-like things that were hard and still here and there. They looked like the same person. Why is that? The entire building was decorative in a way to look like a chantry. I walked more and more until a a yell was sounded through my ears.

"Someone help me! Someone you have to stop him!" It sounded like the Divine. I ran into the room where I heard the noises. There I say a bunch of people with a certain symbol on their armor.

"What's going on here?" I asked as I looked around the room. I gasped in pure horror when my eyes hit this monstrous person. There was a red ball-like thing in his hands. He moved it towards the Divine. The Divine also looked different . She looked like she was.... dying? What was the monster doing?

"Intruder! Slay the child!" The monster person said. I gasped as people turned towards me. I looked towards the people and the Divine. I wanted to help the Divine. I wanted to prove that I can help.

The Divine kicked the red ball out of the monsters hand and and it flew toward me. I ran to catch it. Once it landed in my hand it turned green and it made my hand feel like it was tearing opened. I screamed out a high pitch pain as blackness consumed me.

Maxwell's POV

The building shook as large red shards grew. Everyone screamed as we all fell to the ground at the earthshaking shake. I was just about to slowly bring myself up until a certain scream caught to me. It was a high pitched child scream.

"FAETH!" I yelled as I quickly jumped up to my feet and ran. I ran all the way to the place I told her to stay at but she was not there. Instead there were red shards growing out of the seat she was in. "FAETH WHERE ARE YOU?" I called out. I started to run. I ran until I was able to find my sister. I ran until a loud noise took over my ears and the building suddenly blew up.
