Demon Spirit Solas Cole

Always Watching 👀

Solas left Cole and Melava and walked ahead of them on their way down the mountain and into Skyhold though he still listened to their conversation.... "I have watched you.... from before you joined the Inquisition.... you are always kind!.... and help when needed.... no matter how you are treated by them..... why!?!"  Cole tells her softly she smiles at him then replies "the world is a dark enough place without me adding my own to it!"  Cole looks at her and smiles.... Cole watches Melava as she walks around Skyhold looking at everything in awe and wonder Solas walks over to his side with a smile on his face moving his staff from one hand to the other "you've been watching her too!.... you're the one she calls Uncle!"  Cole says looking in his direction Solas chuckles then replies "yes!"  Cole walks away and sit in the grass by the stairs and Cassandra and Vivian walk over to Solas to converse about the forgotten Spirit boy....

Melava spends her time helping the nurses heal the wounded and try to make the dying more comfortable Cole walks up behind her unsure if he should "bother" her or not he's a Spirit Spirit's don't fall in love.... do they!?!.... and yet she makes him feel different he doesn't even try to read her like he reads everyone else he LIKES the "mystery" of her trying to "figure her out" on his own even though she confuses him she stands up and turns around bumping into him "oh.... sorry!.... I was just....!"  she says softly to him as she looks up into his eyes he watches her as she lifts up her arm and flicks the brim of his hat her fingertips softly brush away his bangs so she can get a better look at his eyes "much better!"  she teases him with a smile "I have to go get some things for the nurses.... I'll.... be right back!"  she says softly then brushes gently past him as she leaves he notices the Inquisitor has come to take her place....

Melava stops when she hears Cole say "choking fear can't think from the medicine but the cuts rack me with every heartbeat hot white pain everything burns I can't I can't I'm going to.... I'm dying I'm.... gone...."  he walks over to the next person and says "every breath slower like lying in a warm bath sliding away smell of my daughters hair when I kiss her goodnight gone"  Melava feel the tears flowing from her eyes as he moves on to the next person Solas stands by the steps and watches her with a worried expression for he is too far away to know why she is crying as Cole says "cracked brown pain, dry, scraping, thirsty here"  she hears the soldier whisper softly "thank you"  and a small smile curls up upon her lips then she hears Cole say "it's alright she won't remember me"  and she turns around and asks curiously "why Cole!?!"  he turns and looks at her confused "why make them forget everything!?!.... even the good deeds you have done.... that isn't right!"  she says as she walks back over to him she touches his cheek and he places his hand upon the one of hers that now touches him as she asks "is that what you have done to me!?!.... have you made me forget you!?!.... without my permission!"  with a slight tilt of her head she moves to look into his eyes "don't!.... never again Cole.... promise me!!.... that you will never make me forget you!.... I don't want to forget you.... ever!.... promise me!!"  she whispers softly he looks at her and says softly "I promise!"  though he doesn't understand why she would ask him to he thought that everyone wanted to forget him and his "strangeness" she drops her hand and once again walks away as Atisha goes back to her and Cole's original conversation....

Melava smiles when Atisha asks Cole to stay but stops once again and turns around when she hears Cole say "hurts it hurts someone make it stop hurting Maker please...."  he unsheathes his dagger she Fade Steps over to him and places a gentle hand on top of the one with the dagger in it he looks at her in surprise and says "the healers have done all they can it will take him hours to die every moment will be agony he wants mercy help"  she looks up into his eyes her hand never letting go of his as she softly asks "we don't know that for sure!.... are you truly not going to give this man a chance just because he begs for the end!?!"  he sees the sadness in her eyes not wanting her to let go he holds his dagger in mid air but points it away from her and stares at her curiously "the best we can do for him right now is to make him comfortable.... find a way to keep his mind off the pain.... show him that there are people care!.... who want him to live!.... give him a reason to try!.... if we just "give him what he wants" because he "begs" for it.... then we are no better than the rest!.... if we give up on them then why shouldn't they give up as well!?!..... all we're doing by listening to such a plea is showing and or telling them that no one cares so there is no reason to continue.... but.... if that is what you believe you must do then go ahead.... if not then let me....!"  she says softly as she walks over to the soldier Cole was about to dagger then kneels by his side she looks down at the soldier her magic already started to glow around him calming the pain "I know a few songs.... of course they are elvhen!.... which is to my great dismay a little rusty!.... but I can try to sing them in English as well.... one is a lullaby.... just to warn you!"  she starts to sing in a beautiful voice like the sun shining upon the water "Melava inan enansal ir su aravel tu elvaral u na emma abelas in elgar sa vir mana in tu setheneran din emma na lath sulevin lath araval ena arla ven tu vir mahvir melana 'nehn enasal ir sa lethalin.... time was once a blessing but long journeys are made longer when alone within take spirit from the long ago but do not dwell in lands no longer yours be certain in need, and the path will emerge to a home tomorrow and time will again be the joy it once was"....

Melava starts the next song in English and finishes in elvhen "sun sets, little one, time to dream your mind journeys, but I will hold you here where will you go, little one lost to me in sleep? seek truth in a forgotten land deep with in your heart never fear, little one, wherever you shall go follow my voice -- I will call you home I will call you home..... Elgara vallas, da'len Melava somniar Mala taren aravas Ara ma'desen melar Iras ma ghilas, da'len Ara ma'nedan ashir Dirthara lothlenan'as Bal emma mala dir Tel'enfenim, da'len Irassal ma ghilas Ma garas mir renan Ara ma'athlan vhenas Ara ma'athlan vhenas"  the soldier falls asleep with a smile on his face and Melava turns to Cole and says "soldiers are fighters Cole! give him a chance to fight! no matter how much he begs!.... not all of us live forever and we can't let fear drive us to the "brink of extinction"! if we all give up that quickly.... then what's the point in living to begin with!?!"  then she walks away this time for good passing by Solas as she heads up the stairs "I'm ok Uncle Sol.... I'm more worried about him.... he's so confused!.... lost!.... stuck in-between "our" world and his.... it's almost as though he is unsure of where he belongs.... I am unsure as to how to help him.... for in the end the true choice.... decision.... is his.... isn't it!?!"  she tells him Solas smiles at her and they walk up stone steps side by side as he heads to his room and her the tavern
