King looked up at the sky and sighed, pushing open the metal gate to be greeted with angry men.

"It's the Herald!" One of them yelled causing a soft smirk of King's lips.

"Well at least they know me." King grinned, allowing Cass to run out in front of him. He danced around the group, dodging arrows and fireballs. The bear leaked into his fighting, allowing him to fight with a fierceness that spooked even his allies. The five of them made quick work of the men.

He pushed open the door, and sighed as The Noble began speaking. A grin crossed his lips as the female elf began speaking and shot The Noble.

"You glow, right?" She spoke quickly.

"So some would say." A small smirk played on his lips.

"Good. Now they're coming. No breeches!!" She laughed, maniacally.

He joined her, letting out a loud laugh. "That's bloody brilliant!"

He laughed as he danced around the flames and arrows, letting Koda slightly take control but still allowing himself to lead. He movements were quick and thoroughly thought out. He didn't allow his mind to wander to the families of the men. It wouldn't help anything.

"Sera!" He approached her, happily. He had slipped again. "Shit.." He murmured.

"How do you know my name?!" She said pointing her bow, an arrow docked at him.

"He sees the future," Varric spoke, covering quickly for King.

"Uh.. That's just freaking weird!" Sera's eyes bulged and her face crinkled.

"I had no idea," King quipped with a wink and a grin.

"Oh," She smirked back, "Then let me explain just how weird it is."

"Please do!"
