Demon Spirit Solas Cole

Abelas And The Well Of Sorrows ⛲😭

"Would YOU not protect your home from those you don't know or have no proof that they mean you no harm!?!.... if you had one that is!.... this is all that stands of what once was!.... and I'm sure that some elves are still dutiful in their own way..... WE are the strangers here MORRIGAN!!.... not them!.... they speak in a dialect so ancient that even I only know very little but was able to somewhat understand what they could possibly have meant and answer to the best of my ability!.... we are very fortunate that they listened!.... for they seemed formidable in their ways of fighting.... and in someways better than many of us!.... including you!.... the "all knowing" mage because she read a few books!.... tales may have been known to hide the truth within the lies!.... but how do you know what part of what you read is truth and what part is lies!?!.... the thing about stories and "legends".... each are told differently depending on who is telling them!.... and how old they are!.... for while much is remembered so much more is forgotten!.... also.... who in this blighted world wants to be remembered as "the evil one", the "enemy" the "bad guy"!?!.... take your pick!... many always find ways to make themselves and or their people as "the hero" or the ignored!.... well I'm sure with your "brilliance" you get the idea!.... the world is their enemy and they are the mistreated and possibly misguided ones!"  Melava says as she walks into the next room while listening to the conversation that Atisha was having with Morrigan "dear woman even I know better than to believe everything I read!.... much less hear from others.... the world is built upon one lie after the other!.... it's a wonder no one really knows the truth!.... take this man for example....!"  she says as points to a wolf statue at the far end of a small room hidden in a corner "they say he was "the enemy" Betrayer, God of Rebellion, Lord of Tricksters, The Great Wolf, Roamer of the Beyond, the Old Wolf, Bringer of Nightmares, He Who Hunts Alone.... The Dread Wolf.... how do we know that what they said is true!?!.... for all we know he could have been the one who was betrayed!.... tricked!.... perhaps WE are the reason he HAD to walk alone!!.... we know NOTHING of this man except what we were TAUGHT!!.... are TOLD!!.... what we READ!!.... we do not KNOW this man!!.... so what gives US the right to say such things about him!?!.... for all we know there may be more to the story than what the tales "teach" us!.... but there must always be an enemy for the hero to conquer!.... vanquish!.... whatever word you prefer!.... I just wonder... the fact that he allowed it to happen.... does that make him brave, stupid or both!?!"  she walks out of the room Solas follows her with a grin on his face....

Melava walks through the other rituals with ease she makes it through two of the three before the others make it over to her for Atisha decided to look around "wait by the door.... I am almost done!"  she says to Atisha who smiles at her "this place!.... these people!.... they deserve our respect!.... things could have been much worse.... it is quite possible that my "ways of persuasion" could have failed!"  Melava says Atisha  laughs then replies with a smile "unlikely Lava!"  Melava smiles and heads off to the last and biggest ritual area of them all when she finishes they all walk into the Temple and hear a deep male voice echo "Venavis"  as Melava walked past the Sentinels who had their arrows drawn at her friends and Morrigan the man who spoke watched his Sentinels lower their bows as she passed them and he looks at her curiously from his high vantage point of an upper balcony in the large once empty room her friends turn to see what he was looking at Cole smiles brightly and starts to rush toward her "he said stop Compassion!"  she teases him with a smile and soft laughter in her tone Cole stays put as she walks toward him and takes his hand and teases "though he never said that to me so I suppose I have free reign!"  she squeezes his hand then lets it go walking closer to the man hidden behind a golden leather hood and starts speaking to him in elvhen "we mean you no harm.... but there are those who come after the Well.... it is only our wish to stop them from retrieving.... while hopefully avoiding more bloodshed!.... I have tried to respect this place and your people the best I could.... though I have been half tempted to steal a few flowers of the ground and make a gift for a friend with them!"  the elf tilts his head at her curiously realizing that her last sentence was a tease "I would never do that of course.... this is sacred ground after all!.... who knows what would happen if I tried!"  she says Solas chuckles softly and says with a playfully scolding tone "Melava!"  she smiles then says "sorry.... sometimes I can't help myself!"  Atisha chuckles "I am Melava, this is Solas, Compassion or Cole.... if you prefer.... Dorian.... Iron Bull.... Varric and the Inquisitor Atisha .... oh and of course Morrigan!.... there is much to explain.... but not much time to explain it!.... I don't know how much longer I can hold my barrier that is keeping them out up.... I don't even understand how it is working as well as it has...."  Melava introduces end "perhaps the magic within the land is....!"  she mutters to herself as elf answers without taking his eyes off her "I am called Abelas we are Sentinels tasked with standing against those who trespass on sacred ground.... I take it that you are the one who....!?!"  she nods Abelas places his armored fingers over his chin and says "interesting.... you must tell me how you did that!"  Melava laughs then replies with a smile "that shall be a tale for another day Abelas"  he nods at her then says "we wake only to fight to preserve this place our numbers diminish with each invasion"  he notices the sadness in her eyes as he speaks "what is you wish of the Vir'abelasan?"  he asks her "only to do what we must to make sure those who don't deserve it.... will.... mistreat it.... don't reach it!.... even if it must be destroyed!"  she answers "NO!!"  Morrigan screams at her Melava turns to face her and says "then perhaps you shall leave behind my barrier as well Morrigan!.... you are not the one in charge!.... this is their home!... we shall abide by THEIR rules!!.... and if you are incapable of doing so then I'm sure these men wouldn't mind escorting you out!.... do remember that they are ancient beings and have had many more years to protect themselves from idiots such as yourself!.... even ones with magic.... there's will also be much stronger than yours!.... so ask yourself Morrigan.... do you wish to test them!?!.... for I asked them to make sure no harm comes to my friends!.... and YOU dear girl.... are NOT my FRIEND!!"  Morrigan scowls but doesn't say anything else Abelas' eyebrow raises curiously as he jumps down then says "come.... I shall guide you to it"....
