Stuck in another world

Chapter 6

I decided that it was a good different, can't be negative about myself. It was pleasing that Duncan seemed to support me. "Not to be rude or something, but your friends are a pit intimidating," stated Alistair pointing at the animals, "And could you explain why they are acting like that?" I thought if I should tell them what little Flemeth had told me through out my stay at her hut, which was not as much, or if I should keep it to myself. "I guess I could let you on about this little secret, but only you three right now, I may tell more people but only time will tell, but I have to warn you too, that I do not know everything, I told them for the start, "I am what some call a daughter of a god, in a way my mother is the goddess of nature and life Gaia, and that's why animals are like this, they like to be near me and they feel my emotions also they will protect me if needed," I said to them. Their faces where full of awe and surprise, Duncan was glowing with respect, which was flattering. "I also feel like you should know that I can freely command the elements around me, as they are part of nature," I added whit a matter of fact voice. If they weren't surprised before then now they were, "So you are an apostate?" Asked Alister. I sighted, "Don't let your Templar training rule your judgment."

"Your grace, if I may ask, will you be fighting against the blight?" asked Duncan with a low voice. I sighted again, "Firstly dear Duncan, pleas don't put me on a pedestal, I am just a person like you and Alistair and even the king, without the titles and the fancy clothes we are the same, we are all individuals who live on this land," I paused, but soon continued," The world which rules were once were made by power hungry men that made the society as it is now: the want to overpower someone, to get what another wants, greed - that's what made this world as it is: to shun what can't be explained and destroy what stood in the way." I told them and they listened, for the first time all three of them didn't interrupt my monologue. I smiled a little, "And secondly Duncan, to answer your question, yes, I will be fighting if needed."

Duncan smiled at me, "Your Ladyship, I thank you, but I must insist on showing you respect, your wisdom is inspiring." I sighted for the third time in a few minutes. "Can I ask what you would suggest?" he asked. I did not know for a second how to respond, I hadn't thought they would ask me for suggestions or anything regarding that matter. I was not the best strategist, tho I did like strategy games in my old world. "I would first like to ask you Duncan if you have brought a new recruit recently?" He looked a little taken back, but answered, "Yes, I came from Highever with a new recruit Alissa Cousland, she is exploring right now and then I have instructed her to seek out Alister, is there a reason for your inquiry?" I smiled sadly, "Yes, of course, it's a shame what happened to her family, no one deserves that." Continuing on, "If I were in your stead, I would call for more reinforcements where ever I could get them, the Orlesians, other Gray Wardens, I would use the treaties that you will send for. This is a blight, the Archdemon won't join the fray right now, but it is waiting in the Deep Rods. But the problem is, I don't know how much time we have, if the darkspown will march tonight we should retreat to Lothering to get us some time for more people." I sighted. "If that cannot be done, and we can't avoid the fight now, Cailan must not fight, because if the fight is lost here and the king died, there will be civil war too and not only the darkspawn to fight." The group of three men looked at me thoughtfully, tho one of them was fuming.

"The darkspawn will be dealt with tonight, we can't postpone the fight or the hoard will grow larger!" Voiced the king loudly. "You'll need all the men you could get and this glory fight you are so bent up on will end in a dreadful bloodshed." I protested in return. But my opinion was only noise to his ears. "I see my opinion on tens men was correct, I will excuse myself then, but should you want to talk I'll not leave the camp," I said to them while waiving them off. "And please don't say a word what I have told you to the advisor Loghain, you might not believe me fully, but you might feel a tingle of doubt non of the less, you know how he hates Orlesians and those papers you have aren't to pleasing for him."

As I was leaving the temple Elise joined me on my stride to look for familiar faces to talk to. Soon enough I found Wynne standing by a tent. "Hello there! Isn't it a lovely morning?" I asked with a happy face. "Hello to you too stranger, but I don't know if you are mocking me or being polite," she said with a strait face. I chuckled, "I was being polite, it is a beautiful day even when we march to war at nightfall. Little bit of happiness goes a long way sometimes, being depressed won't keep us alive." She flashed me a motherly smile, "Wise words," Wynne commented. I laughed, "I have been hearing that a lot lately." My talking partner smiled. "The clothes you are wearing are not really meant for fighting dear, you are missing your armor and proper underclothes," she said looking me dawn. "I'll be fighting with thes and I do not use armor." I pointed at my lovely white dress, sure it might get ripped and dirty, but I do not have anything else yet, Flemeth couldn't bother, she told me to get them myself when I asked if I could borrow some. "No armor? Even mages have robes, whit enchantments, but you don't even have those, tell me are you a mage?" she asked intrigued, but with a disproving frown. "I can do magic, but mana isn't my only source of power I have, lets just say I am special and that's why I am here." I gave her a big grin which reached to my eyes. She didn't seem to pleased, but didn't push the mater. "You will see soon enough." "That I will then," she agreed.
