Cullen exchanged a few words with the Inquisitor and saw her enter the Fortress. The sounds of the battle surrounded him, and the Inquisition soldiers fought valiantly against the Grey Wardens.
He heard him before he saw him. His templar training and instinct kicked into action and he turned with his shield up. The Grey Warden attacked with his dagger where his right side would be just seconds before.
Cullen pushed him back and went for his left side, but his sword only brushed the man's armor. Without pause, he kept the pressure and, blow after blow, with both his sword and shield the man was soon down.
He returned to the battlefield, yelling commands here and there for his soldiers.
"Shield wall on the left. We need to breach the other gate-" His orders were interrupted by a fear demon.
He lowered his shield when the demon's claws went for his legs, and with the enemy's distraction, he cut its head off.
"Shield wall, now. We will push until we have more men inside." He walked among his men.
Fighting Grey Wardens was no easy task, they were trained and experienced, and adding mages and demons to the equation did not help at all.
He surveyed his surroundings. The men and women were taking the brute force of the battle, and they were doing a good job. All those hours of training were worth the result.
Leliana's spies were among the men, with their daggers and agility they were weakening the Wardens. The archers and their arrows hitting the enemies where there was no armor.
The Inquisition mages were there in force too. Lightning came down from the sky here and there. A mist of cold air crept its way into the battlefield. The screams of demons and Wardens on fire could be heard from every corner.
As the Inquisition was gaining ground, they were also losing it too. There was a Pride demon advancing on the archers, two Terror demons were near the gate, and their fearlings crawled up on the men. He looked to his left and saw an ice spike from a Despair demon, and another was running among his men. He could see his soldiers fighting a Rage demon in the distance, and they were losing the battle.
He pressed on and Demons and Wardens, one after the other he engaged in battle. He was here to give the Inquisitor time, and he would give her even if he had to lose his life.
He was panting. The fight had dragged on. Demons were, as he could see, an unlimited source of soldiers. They kept coming from wherever it was they did. He looked around, the men still stood, and he was proud of them.
That's when he saw Finley's armor. He knew it was him because he was the only one who wore a pink one.
It had been three months since he last saw them. Her. He went in his direction but the same way he saw Finley, he lost him. He searched around, his eyes focused. He kept fighting but his eyes always searching.
