 Chapter 4

Leliana's POV

Where were they? Are they ok? Those were the only question running through my head as Chancellor Rodrick and I planed what will happen next. There were injured people everywhere. Yet we don't have any healers nearby or with us at all. I signed as I focused my eyes on the table below me. What will happen next?

"But I don't want to walk no more. I'm tired." I looked up from the table to see the group before me. Solas and Varic with Cassandra and Faeth. Faeth looked so exhausted as she whimpered and held her arms up to Cassandra.

"I told you no. We are busy. We need to plan on how we are going to get up the mountain so you can close the breech." Cassandra said. Faeth cried at the rejection. I signed and shook my head at Cassandra. I carefully walked over to Faeth and knelt down and picked her up. Faeth immediately nudged herself in my arms and soon she passed out with exhaustion.

"She's much smaller then we are, Cassandra. She is much weaker then we are also. She can't just go running around everywhere. She is tired look at her!" I cried out.

"Well, none of us could hold her! Were busy fighting demons to have the opportunity to hold the very child that is suppose to save our lives." Cassandra said. I shook my head.

"Put her down! She could kill you just as easily as she did with the Divine and as she destroyed the Conclave." Chancellor Rodrick said.

"She can't be responsible for this! She's a baby! She can barley talk. I don't even think she knows how to wield a weapon or what class she is in." I said.

"She's terrified of everything." Cassandra said.

"She is a child, Cassandra. A three year old child. Of course she is going to be scared of things like this. She is probably not use to being this overwhelmed by monster and people and all these questions." I said.

"Yeah, well we need to get up that mountain and get her to the breech. Quickly before the mark ends up consuming her. She's already been having pain with it and it doesn't seem to be nice with her when that breech grows." Cassandra said.

"She does need her sleep too. So I will get a few of my scouts and we will all head up the mountain. Ill carry they the entire way so she can rest." I said.

"Ok with me." Cassandra said.

"Seeker, your harsh on the child. She's not like us." Varic said.

"She is too!" Cassandra yelled.

"I think he meant, as in her age. She is not unlike us we are a lot older and experienced with all this battle. She is still a a small child. A baby. She needs naps here and there to help her grow." I said.

"Stop coming back at me with your logic." Cassandra grumbled. I chuckled softly.

"You are not that all good with children are you?" Varic asked.

"I was the youngest! I know nothing about children!" Cassandra yelled as she threw her arms up in irritation. I laughed hard.

"It's easy. Your lucky that she is not a baby. She is only three so it will be easier to take care of her for now. Until her needs get to her. Right now all she needs is sleep." I said while moving Faeth around so I was a little more comfortable and could move around more easier. She ended up whimpering softly as she laid her head on my shoulder. I could barley hear her cry out the word "Bubba".

"Who is this 'Bubba'?" Cassandra asked.

"Might be her brother or relative." I said. Cassandra frowns.

Cassandra's POV

I know how it feels to loose a brother. I have a feeling that this "Bubba" might be her brother.

"You just got awfully quiet, Seeker." Varic said.

"Yeah, well. Lets just head up the mountain and get this over with. Maybe just maybe we can find "Bubba", if we are lucky." I said as I lead the group towards the mountain.
