"A witch of the wilds is not to be trifled with. You made me a promise...now, KEEP IT!"
Marian sat up out of bed with a start as the gravely voice faded from her mind. In her mind’s eye burned the amulet. She lept out of the bed she shared with Bethany and began going through the drawers, tearing through their belongings as a person possessed. Bethany sat up rubbing her eyes. “Sister? What’s wrong? You alright?”
“The amulet. I forgot to give it to the dalish.” Marian answered urgently, pulling open a second drawer.
“The amulet? Are you talking about that thing the witch gave you in Lother

They had a goal. They needed money, and they needed a map. A map that would allow them a better entrance into the deep roads. Varric walked side by side with Hawke that cool brisk morning as they followed the directions of a local doctor to the hidden clinic where a mage grey warden was caring for the poor’s sick and injured. Every now and again he’d glance up at the inspiration of his most current string of tales. They’d been working together less than a week and things had already been interesting.
Kip padded happily behind them, sniffing anything and everything and occasion marking his territory. From what H

“You’ve done well, Hawke. Been the best damn smuggler I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.” Athenril said, plopping a final bag of coin into Hawke’s hand.
“Thanks, Athenril. Out of all the people we could’ve been indentured too, I’m glad it was you.” Marian replied, putting the coins in her pouch.
“Speaking of which, I’d like you to consider joining my crew as an equal member. You’ll get an equal cut like the rest of us and we’ll watch your back like you watch ours.”
“Ah, well. Thanks for the offer but I think me an

“Happy Birthday, Carver, Beth.” Marian raised a pint of Mead.
“Happy Birthday, Twin.” Bethany raised her mug of non-alcoholic cider.
“Happy Anniversary, Wesley and Happy birthday, Bethany.” Aveline raised her mug of ale. The three women took a long drink of their selected brews and set them down. “How old are you today, Bethany?”
“24.”
“Still so young. You act as if you’re older.” Aveline noted.
“Well, you have to grow up quick when you’re...like me.” Bethany whispered the last few words and they all knew she meant A

The witch kept her word and got them to Guerren where they took a ship. They sailed north across the Waking Sea lashed by terrible storms that made even the strongest stomached person sea-sick. Two weeks they spent in that dark hold, cramed in with the fearful and the desperate. Just when Hawke was beginning to think it would’ve been better to face the darkspawn, she saw it... Kirkwall, the city of chains. Long it ago this city had been part of the Imperium, slaves coming from far and wide to work the quarries. Now, it was supposedly a “free city”, but as they sailed through the black cliffs, their only welcom

The Hawkes, joined by Wesley and Aveline continued their journey over the mountain pass, taking the southern paths when possible. The darkspawn sightings were growing in number. They were being delayed too much by the skirmishes. Marian feared to even stop for the night lest they were overrun in their sleep. She knew they should’ve left sooner but mother had insisted the King’s men would stop them before they got this far. Leandra had been wrong. Despite Marian’s protests they were forced to stop for a break a few miles from the top of the mountain. Weasly had begun to look sickly and Bethany’s attempts to

CHAPTER ONE
Marian stood at the grave of Malcolm Hawke, fingering the dual Hawk shaped pendant around her neck. Her father had given it to her five years ago on her 20th birthday. He said it was their family crest and that she should always wear it with pride as a Hawke. She had and she would continue to do so in memory of him. She knelt at his grave, kissing her hand and touching the cold stone. “The darkspawn are coming, Father. I’m getting Mother, Beth and Carver out of here before they reach us. I’m sorry I
