//------------------------------// // Back in the game! // Story: Dragon Age: Fading Out // by The Joeker //------------------------------// As the Maker's light engulfed me he spoke to me. "You must know this world is not Andrastian, and it has magic, but there are no demons, no Darkspawn, it is a paradise, there is a reason I am sending you however, and you will see what that is soon, you will be blind for a bit, your new abilities will improve your eyesight, but it will hurt at first and you will only see light, what you are after is dark, you will know it when you see it." he said and faded out. Suddenly I was plunged into light, i saw a crystalline tree, it was clear as day, but the rest of it was blurry. I walked outside blindly, but not after stumbling into a few cave walls. "Ahh, goddamnit!" as I said that, there were a few strange things, one I sounded younger, and two my voice echoed as if I were in a large metal dome. I looked at the ground and saw it was chequered, I saw flying fish come into my field of vision, which was very limited. Suddenly in the distance, I saw, and felt a dark energy, I walked toward it, keeping my hands in front of me like a blind man, which I was technically. I moved forward and heard a strong female voice. "your playtime is over Discord!" "Oh I seriously doubt that, want to play pin th-" this strange being I could see stopped as I concentrated my energy into suppressing his magic, actually I think it was a draconequus, a legend, not as strong as a High Dragon, and it was classed as a Darkspawn but they were apparently wiped out. Oh what's this? you should see yourselves! so stoic." he said, I saw a massive power being charged up. The 2 beings shot a beam of rainbows at him and suddenly everything stopped, I could see, but I couldn't see the two beings, it was like the light had been transferred to them, I touched him with new ability, Maker's Light, it completely shut down magic in an area, and if concentrated enough, could kill. I concentrated on this dark being but something in the corne rof my yee distracted me, I turned, and instead of being dead, he was turned to stone. Suddenly I was engulfed in light again, but I knew I was elsewhere, the ground was more... natural. I saw the two beings jump in the sky and time froze again, whatever this power was, it made me very strong. I saw one of the most darkest things I've ever seen in my life, only the Archdemon and The Mother could compare. It was just so dark I could barely see it, suddenly I went Beserk and picked him up and smashed him into the ground, I saw I had cracked the ice beneath him and I picked him up and threw him in, my rage subsided and I calmed I went to talk to these beings, but the light engulfed me again. Suddenly I was presented with a blue colour, nothing, just blue, but I felt pain, hurt, anger and regret and hate, I touched it and blurred memories rushed through me, no details, just outlines... I could make out happy memories, and the last memory was... betrayal... did I have to kill this being? "There is always another way." I said to myself, I looked up to the moon for answers, the power coursing through me was not of a protective nature like before, but more reluctance, and again, hurt, suddenly I used the Makers Light to concentrate a teleportation spell fro. the being to the moon, and gave the spell enough power to send her there, she would need extra power to be sent back, unlikely to be found on the moon. After it was done, I was back in the Maker's home. "You saved the last one, why?" he asked. "In the other two I felt the want to destroy, to conquer, to control, in her I felt... good, and the desire to do so, but it was shrouded by jealousy and rage, as wa I when I found out Fergus was next Teryn of Highever when I was 14, but I got over it, I hope she can to." I said. "Good, because you saved one of my nieces, you will be called again, what will you do this time, I wonder?" he asked. "I hope I do the right thing." I said. "A statement we all wonder in our lives at least once, oh and once you're back down there you will be able to see, and you will be able to sue Spirit Warrior magic, Spirit Warriors use their connection to the Fade to levitate objects, some use it for trivial things, others use it to hurl objects at opponents in battle." he said. "But I am no mage." I said. "Mayhaps not, but you can use the Veil, no? your connection allows you to reach out and grasp items, the Fde is nonexistent down there, but you bring it with you which will allow you to still use Spirit Warrior abilities, you will be able to reach out your own Fade energy to grasp things, because the Veil is so strong around you, you can physically use it, that is to say, you can only levitate things, nothing else other than the abilities you already have." he explained. "That makes sense." I said. "Oh and, you will also need to learn to fly, the beings down there, some of them have wings, some have horns, the horns channel magic, because you are a Spirit Warrior, the Universal rules there will dictate you have magic, strength and flight, because you are so agile, strong and you Spirit Warrior abilities and your Templar ones." Before I could reply I fell, and fell, until black overtook me...
