Demon Spirit Solas Cole

When A Good Man Goes To War 🪖⚔️🗡️🏹🪄

"Do you even realize what you have done!?!.... do you CARE!?!.... they were only doing their duty.... just like you believe you have done!"  Melava asks Samson angrily she scoffs and rolls her eyes then says "no.... of course you don't!.... I have forgotten how selfish shemlen can be!"  she turns to Calperina and asks "what would your mentor say to what you are doing Calperina!?!.... would you like to know what your "new MASTER" has done to him!?!.... here.... let me show you child!"  she walks up to the ugly blond female Vint and places a gentle hand on her forehead.... using her magic she recalls what she saw along with.....

Solas, Cole, Melava and Atisha hear a man in a glowing blue globe of a prison say "the light... light the burner add a teaspoon of cinnabar...."   since Melava could feel the man's pain as he spoke so could Calperina that is how she knew it was real she gasped at the sight playing in her mind as she saw Melava turn and hug Cole's body hiding herself in the comfort of his arms and Solas take her hand to let her know that he is there as well "..."he came down in fire and splendor"-- chapter nine verse one"  the man continues looking up at the 4 who entered "so much.... pain!.... this has to stop!.... please make it stop!!"  Melava whispers softly as though she was the one feeling the mans pain looking at Solas but not moving away from Cole and holding him tighter Solas looks at her with deep sorrowful eyes as he walks over to the barrier "the barrier holding him is impressive he is no threat to us if he ever was"  Solas tells Atisha Melava lets go of Cole and walks closer to the barrier she kneels down to the mans level.... he is sitting on the ground making his already small body even smaller.... "who are you!?!"  she asks softly with a sorrowful tone the man looks into her eyes "Magister Erasthenes am I a scholar of Tevinter to Corypheus I am bound to answer questions -- gaah"  he answers as though being controlled or compelled to do her bidding "Ir abelas Erasthenes.... I do not wish to cause you any pain!"  she replies he sobs "for Calperina's sake I am lost"  he says "she doesn't know does she!?!"  she asks shaking her head "can't say I'm surprised!"  she mutters then she stands up and says "make it short Atisha.... the more questions he answers the more pain he feels.... he has been trying to fight it.... but he is losing the battle.... no one deserves this fate.... to die this way....!"  she doesn't continue as she walks back to Cole's side and he places his arm around her waist as though to hold her up and comfort her at the same time Atisha nods at her as she walks away the Magister speaks "unnh I am in ruin the jeweled husk when the butterfly leaves"  Melava looks up at Cole and teases softly with a pained smile "and people think you're cryptic!"  he smiles down at her there is a small sparkle in his eyes but sadness as well "I was the greatest scholar of the Old Gods in Minrathous -- no the Imperium one night he came to my door for my relics I thought my writings and ruins.... but instead my slave went to his side Calperina to become the vessel and save Tevinter.... she seeks a leader in Corypheus to shape Tevinters's rebirth unnh she will raise up the slaves as she was raised bring a new order with a heart of steel she could do it if she were not the vessel"  the Magister looks at Melava when he says that she nods at him "yes.... I understand!"  she whispers the others look at her confused but she just shakes her head at them all as she says with sorrowful tones "this is just a test.... practice!.... a way to see if it works.... and how long it will work.... whatever Corypheus has planned he will need her alive and will not give her a choice when it comes to staying or leaving..... he only cares for whatever his small mind has planned.... and he will do ANYTHING to make sure he succeeds!.... but we are just puppets on a string!.... a waste of space!.... not worthy of him or his "godhood"!.... it will be much worse for her than it has been for the Magister"  she walks back up to the Magister and says softly "Ar lasa mala revas.... go in peace my friend"  she raises her hand and breaks the circle then turns to the Inquisitor and says "hate me if you wish! but that man has done nothing wrong and deserved a much better fate than the one he received!.... I will be at Skyhold waiting for whoever wishes to yell at me!"  and she walks away as the Magister turns to dust and floats away in the opposite direction Cole follows her with a worried expression on his face Atisha on the other hand couldn't hide the smile crawling up the corner of her lips....

Melava tosses a scroll at Calperina after she lets her go and says "perhaps you should read these as well!.... just in case you can't believe a "fellow mages" own magic and memories.... I am no fool Calperina! but what you did is completely foolish!.... that man loved you like a daughter and you betrayed him for someone who lives on nothing but lies and manipulation!.... he WAS a Vint at one time as well after all!!.... do what you will Calperina but remember.... you are the one who has to live with your choice.... the rest of us.... we're just "collateral damage"!"  Calperina looks down at the scroll in shock as Melava turns to Sampson and says with a harsh rude tone "don't worry I know that nothing I say will change YOUR mind!!.... Cullen, Hawke and Varric told me about you! you are not just addicted you are INFECTED by the lyrium! you really CAN'T live without the "power" you believe it gives you!.... I wish I could say I pity you and hope for the best.... but I don't!"  she walks towards the Temple gates just as Corypheus' becomes reborn by stealing the life force of one of the dead Wardens..... Atisha and her group watch in shock then run towards the gate as Corypheus' pet dragon flies overhead Melava turns back around and creates a barrier of her own to stop the four of them from entering the Temple.... when I say four I mean Corypheus, his dragon and his messed up minions....

"Oh please Morrigan! stop pretending you know everything!.... he has a Arch Demon of his own that he has connected himself to! it is quite possible that he "stole" that ability from the poor dragon himself!"  Melava says rolling her eyes at the somewhat unwelcome mage who just so happens to be a daughter of Mythal.... "poor.... dragon!?!"  Morrigan answers Melava spins to face and looks into Morrigan's eyes and says "you do not feel her pain as I do!.... unfortunately just like the Magister the only way to free her is to kill her! and if you know ANYTHING about dragons you know that it will not be easy! nor will he make it easy.... so YES Morrigan "poor dragon"!.... ANYONE with a "master" a "GOD" like that demonic creature deserves all the pity in the world!.... and.... NO.... not all of those who "follow" him had a choice.... you cruel and unusual woman!.... much like your mother I'm guessing!"  Melava walks to the center of the room where a large square with many smaller squares and two stone plaques in the center of it "Solas!?!"  Melava says as she walks over to it Solas smiles at her then says ".."atish'all vir abelasan" it means "enter the path of the well of sorrows".."  Melava steps on the first medium sized square which glows and chimes as she walks onto it then the next all the way around the square till she returns to the beginning and steps off stumbling into Cole's arms.... her large use of magic before they entered has made her tired especially since she is still trying to keep her barrier up.... taking Cole's hand she walks up the steps behind them before Morrigan can fake her knowledge or lack thereof the group looks up at her Melava turns her head but keeps walking as she says "if we have questions I am sure that once we have proven ourselves they may be kind enough to answer! after all.... the ones in the Wilds were just soldiers and scouts.... perhaps they have an "Inquisitor" of their own.... or some sort of Commander.... leader.... everyone has someone they follow.... let's just hope he.... or she is in a good mood!"  Atisha chuckles lightly and follows her and Cole the rest follow close behind her Solas' smile grows as he shakes his head and follows the ladies and Spirit
