What Now?

Morrigan Wishes To Speak With You

As you climbed the stairs and entered the keep, you had a content feeling come over you. With a feast come and gone, you came to realize just how much things have worked out for you. You may not have found a cure for the dark spawn taint you carried but you now lead one of the most powerful groups between Ferelden and Orlais. As you took a seat on you throne you let out a small chuckle to yourself, the throne was also quite an addition and perk for your new command. It was at this point your ambassador came walking up to you, "Warden," She said courteously, "After you...took control as Inquisitor, we've done our best to inform the two countries of our state of affairs. Ferelden as been most pleased with their Hero taking control of this Inquisition but Orlais has expressed concerns on where you loyalties may lie." She said as she looked down at her clipboard,

"Really? Do they think I serve Ferelden?" You asked with a raised brow,

"No, I wouldn't exactly say that but they do feel if both countries needed assistance you'd pick Ferelden without a second thought." She replied, "Now I've tried to contain the situation but many nobles are asking to come here and meet with you."

You let out a little sigh, you remembered how bad nobles could be when your father used to have to entertain many at once, you could only imagine this would be ten times worse. "I...understand, of course if I can alleviate any concerns I am happy to do so." You said trying to hold some diligence.

Josephine looked up at you a little surprised, "Truly? You wouldn't mind entertaining some Orlesian nobles?" She asked with a smile, you nodded firmly to her, "That is refreshing to hear Warden, the last Inquisitor often ignored the politics of his position."

"I am just doing what is best for us all." You replied simply,

"I agree." She said with a nod, "And I have you one other thing to inform you of." She said as she checked off a few things from her clipboard, "We've received word from the Warden's of Ferelden. They understand and accept that you will remain here as Inqusitor but you being one of the more senior members, and for that matter most skilled, they wish to send a Warden to keep you apprised on Warden affairs."

"Absolutely," You replied firmly, "I serve here of course but I must know if the darkspawn are threatening us once more. Tell them to send this Warden at once." Josephine nodded and quickly left the room to write not only invitations, but a letter to the Grey Wardens.

"Well, well, look at you. Acting like a posh noble." Morrigan said as she seemingly snuck up to your side.

You peered over and smiled, "If you recall, I was raised in a noble home. I grew up with people acting like this, though I never had a taste for it."

"Say what you will but it seems to fit you quite well." She said with a little shrug,

You chuckled, "So, after how quickly you left earlier, I am hoping you are here to let me know what is happening."

Morrigan's face lowered and her cheeks slightly reddened, "I- yes, I am ready to speak to you." She stammered out,

"Okay," You said while watching her for a moment, yet she didn't speak. "Morrigan, this isn't a very compelling conversation." You said breaking the silence,

Morrigan took a slow breath, "Please, follow me. It would be easier to show you." She said holding out her hand. You reached out and stood from your throne, following Morrigan out of the main hall.

Where Is She Taking You?
