The next day Logan sends them through the portal towards Redcliffe with a letter for Arl Eamon from him. Saying that he will be in Denerim in the Alienage solving a problem. So when they arrive there will be only one problem left.Logan and Darrian go through a portal and find themselves in Darrian"s house. Darrian was looking around not seeing anyone he thought they might be at the market but Logan knew it better and walked out seeing a mop in front of an old house with Tevinter mages around it and Shianni outside protesting against it. Arriving there together Shianni sees them and walks towards them saying, "Thanks to the Maker you are back. We need your help the guards won"t help us and the others are blinded by sickness." "Where are they?" asks Darrian Shianni, and Shianni answers, "They took them when they returned from the market yesterday. It began three days ago since they appeared as you told us. But the Guards don"t want to help us."
"That"s because they are in the pocket of Rendon Howe that why," says Logan and walk over towards the mages with Darrian and says in a cold tone, surrounded by an aura full of Bloodl.u.s.t and a smile on his face, "Make way or die trying to stop me." The both walk at the Tevinter mages and their Guards when suddenly one of the mages wanted to do something and the next his head was flying through the air. Darrian followed killing to Guard and Logan killed the other mage.
They entered the house and searched for clues once found and liberating the caged elves they keep going through a small pa.s.sage that leads to another house entering the house they killed all slavers inside and continued on their way while releasing the bounded or caged elves. Once done with the house they leave it and entered a small courtyard where they killed the stationed Guards after entering another house and killing their way through they found the Slaver that is the head of this operation.
"If I were you I would give up and give us everything or die like the others," says Logan covered in blood from his enemies. Darrian finally found his wife Nesiara and his father as well the Hahren Valendrian and some other elves caged.
"You can"t do this Regent Log-" says the mage Caladrius but got killed by Logan while Darrian goes into a rage and kills the rest of them Logan searches Caladrius body and take a doc.u.ment from him were Logan willingly sells the elves for war funds. Then Logan goes over to a chest and takes everything that is inside almost a 1000 sovereigns. "Loghain wasn"t paid yet or at least so it seems ao much money."
Then Logan helps Darrian to free the Elves. Darrian embraces his wife and Father and then go together to the Alienage with Valendrian and the other elves, while Logan goes to the docks.
Arriving at the docks he looks around for the ship of the slavers just to be sure that no other elf was taken by them. He asked the Dockmaster if a new ship arrived three or four days ago and the Dockmaster scared seen a man covered in so much blood pointed to a big ship that could transport at least 100 slaves in one go. Logan goes to the ship and sees some people with weapons and looking like the ones he killed in the Alienage. He goes on a killing spree on the ship and looks for some elves after liberating them and leaving the ship he set the ship free so it wasn"t near the docks and then he throws a sol hammer at it. It caught fire and burned down. Then he returns to the alienage and meets with Darrian once inside Justice cleans him.
"Now then where is the baby boy or girl," says Logan to them and Shianni comes through the door with a little girl in hands.
"I gave her to Shianni before they caught us. So if you didn"t come in time she would be safe at least," says Nesiara to Darrian, who walks over to Shianni and takes his daughter in his arms and kiss her forehead and says, "Now dad is home little Adaia and will protect you for a bit until the others arrive." "If she is half as beautiful as you two and I have a son how about a marriage between them," says Logan joking and Darrian says, "Never!" "That hurts you know," says Logan to Darrian.
"Where is Soris?" asks Darrian and Shianni answers, "He was taken prisoner by the new Arl of Denerim." "Arl Howe moved already we need to wait for the others or it will be messy he won"t die just tortured and questioned we can heal him with the help of Wynne and Solona so don"t worry too much," says Logan in the group and Darrian ask another question, "What about his wife? Is she safe?" "The both aren"t really together any longer since she doesn"t want Soris to be childless," says Nesiara and Logan says, "So she is sterilized." "Yes she didn"t know they tried really hard but she didn"t get pregnant and she could live with that she left saying it must be her fault," says Nesiara and Logan says, "It can be both faults it a matter of time in my world we have let"s say healer that plan your circle were you are the best to be pregnant or worst day to do it. Also, the healers can see if the sperm is alive and dead or if the woman has no eggs in her any longer."
They begin to talk about many thinks and Logan could take little Adaia into his hand too. "I will try my best to help you all survive the battle in Denerim so you can see your father at your marriage with my son if I can get one. I will blackmail him somehow so don"t worry and get healthy and beautiful like your parent just become more like your mother and a little like your father."
After a week the other arrived at Denerim and a little argument between Loghain"s side and Eamon"s began in Eamon"s Mansion in Denerim. Loghain"s group then left and Logan and Darrian entered the mansion.
"Nice to meet you again so what was so important that you came here before us?" asks Eamon Logan, who answers, "I needed to kill some slaves and get some evidence that Loghain was involved in it." Logan hands a doc.u.ment over to Arl Eamon he looks over it and says, "That should help us against Loghain in the Landsmeet. What do we do next?" "Wait someone will come and asks for our help," says Logan and after some minutes a maid came to Eamon"s Mansion and asks for help for Queen Anora that is held in the Arl Howe"s Mansion in Denerim fearing for death in it.
Logan, Eleanor, and Eamon were making up a discussion so the maid thinks they want to help Anora out of her clinch. After the fake talk, Logan takes Daveth, Darrian, and Alistair with him and follows the maid through the mansion in disguise she brought with her. Arriving at a door that was magically reinforced she asked for help because she can"t open the door if the mage is not dead that performed the magic when suddenly Logan says, "Stand back from the door better go to the side since it might go flying towards you if you stand in front of it." Logan goes over shining bright and uses his fist to hit the door that breaks in two and flies into the room Anora comes out and thanks Logan for opening the door. She leaves in disguise with her maid and Daveth while the rest go deeper in.
"I remember this place like it"s yesterday when they kidnapped the women," says Darrian and Logan says, "Yes but this time you are here for your cousin and Alistair for his future brother-in-law." Alistair goes red and says, "It"s not even decided yet if we are going to mar-" when Logan interrupts him saying, "It is you know when I left when you were training I was with Eamon and Eleanor planning your marriage with Elissa and your coronation after the battle against the fifth blight." "Wait what you did all this behind our back," says Alistair and Logan answers, "That and much more that you don"t know do you want to know who your mother really is." "You know who my mother is?" asks Alistair and Logan tells him that she was a Grey Warden and not a maid from the castle and that he was a wanted child. He also tells him that they might meet again someday.
"Well let"s walk deeper in," says Logan and the other two followed him. Pa.s.sing the Arls bedroom they find someone in a cell. "Now the Arl has some weird fetish don"t you think," says Logan to the man in the cell, who answers, "Very funny no let me out of here." Darrian breaks the lock and helps him out.
"Thank you very much my name is Riordan and I"m from the grey warden of Jader and you are?" asks Riordan and Logan answers, "Commander of the Grey in Ferelden for now Logan that here is Daveth who will lead them after I"m not around and the one who helped you out is Darrian everyone here is a warden. We still have things to do here if you want to talk we can do that later in Arl Eamon"s Mansion. We need to go in deeper from here." "Then I await you there," says Riordan and leaves while they continue into the cellar.
"Well, the decorations are nice what do you think. Does he bring his wife down here?" says Logan sarcastic and the other two have a smile on their face holding their laughter down the throat and begin walking again. Killing the guards and getting the keys of the cells Logan says, "Now we only need to find the cells they are in."
Walking in the cellar the find some people like crazy Templar and Soris. Darrian tells Soris to bring the man to Arl Eamon in the Market District and he leaves then they look through all rooms and find a young man bound on a torture toy of Howe. They free him and he runs after promising to help them against Loghain in the Landsmeet. The keep looking and find Howe surrounded by guards and mages torturing a man that didn"t even scream just laughs at him and says, "Is that all even the Darksp.a.w.n can do better."
Logan and the group ambush Howe"s group and killed everyone exception from Howe who will be killed later. Logan goes over and says, "And you are?" "Fergus Cousland is my name can you free me from these," says Fergus and Logan says, "Well I would but I will let your brother-in-law do that." "Who? I don"t have a brother-in-law," says Fergus and Logan replies, "Not yet but soon."
Alistair going over a bit red in the face helps Fergus down from the wall Darrian puts Howe on his shoulder and carry him. Then they go up but are awaited by a woman and five elite guards, she says, "Stop you broke the law of Denerim give up now or die trying to resist."
"Why should I stop only because someone that sell elves to Tevinter slavery and betrayed his king when he needed him the most commands you Cauthrien tell me," says Logan and Cauthrien shocked asks, "How do you know my name? I never told you nor the other in this room." "Oh know much about everyone in this world if they are important that"s it. I only know your name but I will leave you alive and the others since you will be useful for the fight against the blight." Logan snaps with his finger and Quicksilver begins he takes them all out without killing them after 45 seconds and snaps again and he stands behind the guards who were lying down on the floor sleeping after that Logan and the others return to Arl Eamon"s mansion.
"Here you have a special delivery. Darrian put him down and call Solona or Wynne to help for Fergus," says Logan when suddenly Elissa and Eleanor hug Fergus who begins to scream out of pain and says, "Mother please not so hard, you too Elisa I"m delicate right now." Leaving them alone Logan goes to the study where Eamon was surrounded by Banns that want to rebel against Loghain after betraying them with imprisoning their son and brother another was there because if the elf scandal. "Can you leave us two alone for a moment," says Logan to all in the room and they left leaving only Eamon and Logan alone in the room, "Anora has accepted to marry Alistair as you said and we are preparing to push Alistair and Elissa together. Elissa already said that she would marry him and Alistair is still shy about this but will accept it since he loves her too." "Then I will take care of Anora once the Landsmeet is over. Also, I brought Howe he is with Eleanor and the rest of the Cousland so I hope they don"t ruin your furniture will torturing him and then killing him," says Logan and Eamon says, "It"s not really a problem since I need to change it at home too since the mage that poisoned me died on my furniture to thanks to your friend that killed him swiftly on it."
After a short talk, Logan leaves the study and walks a little through the mansion seeing Alistair and Elissa together after coming from the market. "He must have met with his "half-sister" don"t even know if she is really his half-sister but I think no is the right answer to this. But he needs this to get more mature."
He walked out of the mansion and goes to the Pearl were he meets Isabella that was drinking with Zevran. "So you are the Grey Warden that I heard about from Zevran the one that defeats his opponent easily with his hands alone." says Isabella looking charmed by Logan, and Logan replies sarcastic "Yeah something I do for fun to not kill my subordinates or it would be me against the blight alone. Now don"t look at me like that I"m taken." "She doesn"t have to know," says Isabella and Logan says, "Oh but she will with your big mouth so no."
After drinking a bit and refusing Isabella the whole time he leaves for the mansion again where he meets Riordan they talked briefly about what happened in Ostagar and other things.
Then he talks Sten that was eating cookies in the dining room. "After tomorrow only some days until we defeat the blight for this time what do you think?" asks Logan Sten who answers, "I think that if the battle comes I will help with everything I can to show my thanks for finding my sword." After that, he goes to bed.
The next day Logan stands up and goes with the other to the Landsmeet. Cauthrien awaited them and Logan stopped and was prepared to attack her again with nonlethal methods when she only said, "I give up you are right in going against Loghain he has lost control over himself since the battle of Ostagar just don"t kill him he is still a great commander that can be used." "Well, i didn"t want to kill him since he still has a purpose to serve in this world," says Logan and pa.s.ses her.
They entered the halls where Loghain hold a long speech against Eamon and Eamon a speech against Loghain after that evidence where shown and even Anora talks bad about Loghain. Then Loghain wants to use force but was held down by Logan, who knocked Loghain out. After all this Alistair was put as King to be and Elissa as Queen to be after the blight that didn"t go well with Anora and she dared to go in a civil war that was called off when she saw the bloodl.u.s.t Logan directed at her. The Banns that survived Ostagar recognized Logan and thanked him because they are still alive thank to him. Alistair and the others were against it making Loghain a warden but Logan and Riordan were for it. So they accepted it unwillingly. After that, he calls Riordan and Eamon to his side.
"Now we have some time to prepare for the fight we will fight to save not only Ferelden but Thedas. Riordan, I want you to go back and bring the Wardens from Orlais to Redcliffe so all can attack together," says Logan, and Eamon asks, Why attack shouldn"t it be defend?" "No Redcliffe will be a distraction they will attack Denerim with the whole army and send a battalion to Redcliffe that why I send all to Redcliffe it"s better to attack than to defend against the Darksp.a.w.n. I will be here defending with the Guards of Denerim and its Soldiers until you arrive to flank them from behind. It could be the last time we meet so G.o.dspeed to you two." says Logan and leaves calling Cauthrien to show him the barracks thinking about to make Denerim soldiers into killing machines so we have still an impossible battle to fight but not impossible. He sees the troops and thinks "We will need more than one miracle to survive this."
Logan tells Cauthrien to call everyone that can fight to the troop be it elf, human or dwarf if he lives in Denerim he will defend Denerim. Cauthrien follows Logan"s order while Logan is already planning the battle.
After two months of training and preparing the Darksp.a.w.n have shown itself near Denerim led by the Archdemon itself. The preparation where done. And the civilians were brought to Fort Drakon it was the easiest place to defend. With reinforced walls and ground so no surprise attack could happen. The Market District and Alienage were full of traps for the Darksp.a.w.n to fall in or burn down and the Gates were all reinforced with steel it is harder to close put also harder to penetrate. "Everything is ready and the Soldiers and Guards as well the Militia should be able to kill some Darksp.a.w.n before falling. Now let them come I will burn them all down if I have too."
