Chapter Text
Two men approached Rei and Anders from the gate as they discuss healing magic. Anders looked up and cursed under his breath. One of the men, an elf with white hair charged Anders. Rei was just able to put up a barrier before he reached them. "Fenris." Anders muttered, eyeing the elf. Behind Fenris was a tall man with dark hair and light eyes.
"Who the hell are you two, and why are you attacking my healer?" Rei asked, glaring at the two men.
"My name is Fenris, and my associate is Carver." Fenris replied, not taking his eyes off of Anders. "We've come to exact revenge on Anders, for killing Marie." Rei sighed and quickly thought up a plan.
"Anders, on my signal, run and get my husband." Rei said, drawing frost into her soul.
"No, they're here for me, I must face them." Anders said, softly.
"Do you or do you not belong to the Inquisition?" Rei asked, getting pissed off at the mage next to her.
"Yes... But..."
"No buts damn it, I am your Inquisitor, and you will do as I say!" Rei felt frost dance on her finger tips.
"What signal?" Anders asked.
"You won't miss it." Rei let the ice loose, wrapping around Fenris's and Carvers legs. "Go! Now! Go get Cullen!" She exclaims as the ice slowly starts to melt.
"Your husband is Knight-Captain Cullen?" Carver asked, looking confused. Rei nodded, and looked back and forth between both men.
"Whatever you may think, Anders did not kill Marie. He knew nothing about the ritual we performed until it was too late. Marie didn't tell me the risk either, or I would have made her wait." Fenris marched toward her, his ice melted away.
"You... You were part of that..." He growled, his hand turning blue and transparent. Before Rei could react, Fenris plunged his hand in her chest. "You will die, slowly, and painfully for what you've done." Rei gasped, and put her hands on his arm as she tried to breath. Collapsing to her knees she looked up at her killer.
"You are as much to blame as anyone, if not more so." Rei forced out. "You left her, broke her heart." She felt his hand tighten around her heart, and tears streamed down her cheeks as she has her life flash before her eyes. The last being of her daughters and how she had recently told Cullen that they would have the rest of their lives together.
"Any last words, mage." Fenris spat.
"Tell my daughters, that I love them. And tell Cullen, I'm sorry." She replied weakly.
