Chapter Text
Narya sighed and looked into sunset. A faint memory came up to her mind and she sighed again. She was feeling sad,still sad, after almost two years. A lot had changed since that day, there was a new Divine, freedom for all mages and peace. The Inquisition hadn’t corrected all the wrongs to rights yet though. There was still work to be done.
But two years ago. He had left her. Right after the battle, right after defeating Corypheus. No explanations, no nothing,. Just some words that were to assure her ,that all they had was true and real. But had it been ? Or had it all been just another illusion made by him ? Another trick in the Fade?
Narya sighed again. She had tried to forget it all during these long months. She had failed at it since the pain was still there. She could feel it tearing her heart apart. His words back then echoed in her mind still hurting”I can’t do it, I’m sorry.” How she had begged, cried, asked, him to stay and he still had left. Leaving her alone.
After that Cole had spent a lot of time exploring their thoughts . He had been trying so hard to heal the pain in both of them, never succeeding in it. And finally he had shut Cole out. Towards the end, he had been more distant every day. But still, in rare moments, he had looked at her, his eyes were filled with love and affection. It confused Narya. It had confused then and it did so now.
She leaned on the balcony railing. The sun was already set, coloring everything red. She felt a warm breeze on her face. It was warming, comforting, blowing away all her sorrow and sad thoughts. "You are still so beautiful." a soft voice behind her said. Turning over, with her heart rushing it’s beat ,she gasped from shock and surprise.
Familiar small smile greeted her. Those familiar eyes. The ones that held secrets in them and now looked at her as if pleading for something. Forgiveness maybe? Everything in him was like it had been. His gentle hands which held her once. Those lips that she had kissed so many times. He looked exactly the same as before.
“Solas” Narya exhaled out. Still stunned and shocked, looking wide-eyed at the man she loved.
