Across the beach, I walked all alone.
I reached for shells while I feel the winds blow.
Closely, I put the shells to my ear.
It's far away, but your voice I can hear.
Those feelings, I remember not telling you,
I will give you a clue,
As I sing this song of my feelings to you…
Hello, hello ~
Don't worry I'm right here.
I'm waiting for you, with the memories that I held to keep you near.
Even if our promise is something others will repeat.
I will be waiting forever, and that's something that I intend to keep~.

"Getting any better?" Garrden asked sitting in a chair holding an unnecessarily full glass of wine and shaking the glass in a way for the wine to whirl around in. Leliana looked over to Cogdale who was still lying on the orlesian settle with his eyes closed. He said not a word and only shook his head. "My vision is still injured." He sighed and crossed his arms. Garrden shrugged and took a sip from the wine. The elf may act unruly but his upbringing
The Fullmetal Beginning I stared at my feet as I walked down the dirt road that led away from the house. My brother and friend giggled and talked, but I just kept my gaze on the ground below. I felt my sibling's hand on my arm, "Brother….. Ed….," he whined. I closed my eyes for a moment, then snapped them open again. I was awakened to see my small room instead of the vast field I was in a moment ago. Ah, it was a dream, I thought to myself, then looked towards the young boy beside me. "What is it, Al? I said as I sat up in bed. "I… I have to go potty," he whimpered. I always took him to the bathroom at night.

The dreams had started when she was very young. As a small girl of six, she lived in a world of princesses and love and happily-ever-afters. Before this time, her dreams were of childlike fantasies and distorted delusions of what life held in store.

Back at the Encampment, Cain was greeted cheerfully by Akara. The two of them seemed to be old friends, by the looks of it. Cain went into Akara's tent, and the Priestess beckoned Leona to follow. Curiously, Leona obeyed, following the two of them into the large tent. Cain and Akara were sitting at the same table that Leona, Garrodin, and Kel had been sitting at the other day. Akara beckoned Leona once more, and the young paladin sat beside her.

Curse of the Werewolf pt15Alistair, Sten and Berwick made their way back to the Dalish camp several days after Witherfang was slain. Of the three, Berwick looked to be the most severely injured. Berwick was limping, his one arm not bound in a sling wrapped over the shoulders of a Dalish elf from Tamlen and Mahariel's clan for support. Alistair wore a bandage that covered half his head, but other than that, he looked fine. Sten strained a little as he walked. The way the qunari walked suggested several of his rib bones had been fractured while fighting the werewolves. Aenian would later learn that Sten only just sustained some bruising, that not a single bone inCurse of the Werewolf pt151 year ago in Profiles More Like This
Curse of the Werewolf pt5The mysterious blond elf slowly stirred himself conscious after Alistair nudged his ribs with a kick. He earned a harsh scolding from Leliana, who looked to be pitying the bound and gagged elf. The elf that was tied up was very handsome, with facial features that would make anyone swoon. The elf had a twin curved line tattoo on the left-hand side of his face that snaked from above his left eyebrow all the way along the left cheek and ending at the chin.Curse of the Werewolf pt51 year ago in Profiles More Like This

Curse of the Werewolf pt1The Grey Wardens and their companions had stayed in the arling of Redcliffe for close to a week after the whole incident of Connor's possession. Isolde had been heartbroken at her teenaged son's death, but found small closure that his soul had been saved. The demon that had possessed the boy had been destroyed upon Connor's death, and that was of tiny comfort for the arlessa. Bann Teagan too was heavy in heart on Connor's death, but he was possessing of common sense and a clearer grasp on the bigger picture to be dragged into the pits of despair over the death of his nephew.Curse of the Werewolf pt11 year ago in Profiles More Like This

Aenian stumbled backwards from the blow. He shook his senses back and deflected a swing from Sten's greatsword. 'How will you end it?' the qunari warrior asked, questioning the elf how the Grey Wardens intended to defeat the Blight.

The morning sun was shining over head, rising over the distant castle where the undead menace that butchered dozens of villagers and a couple of Redcliffe's knights came from. The undead had been repulsed at great expense, with nearly a fifth of the villagers responsible for the town's defence dead, and half the surviving men who braved the undead onslaught wounded, some with minor wounds, some needing amputation of a limb or two, and some that were so badly wounded that they would likely be meeting the Maker before nightfall.Siege of Redcliffe pt61 year ago in Profiles More Like This

From the top of a large hill on the Imperial Highway Aenian and his companions beheld their destination. Redcliffe was relatively large in the way that villages were. The several villages that he had passed on his journey to Ostagar a couple months ago weren't even half the size of Redcliffe. The elf thought that the large village was probably as big as Denerim, but thinking that would be a bit of an over-exaggeration. The viSiege of Redcliffe pt21 year ago in Profiles More Like This

"Of course, The Wardens who visited before gave some good words about Montsimmard. About how perfect their Templars and how well disciplined and orderly the mages are. It saddened them that they couldn't recruit more from this city." Cogdale said giving a small half expressed bow to the Knight-Commander.

Aenian would see small jolting sparks fly from the enchanted blade whenever the two blades met. The Grey Warden found the flying electrical sparks dazzling.

Sten was sitting in a meditative state on the sleeping bag, the fine steel greatsword held in the qunari's hands.
