Fenlin and Asania
"No, absolutely not." Her father ordered with such finality in his voice. Her family sat on the few scattered benches around the fire-pit just outside Keeper Zathrian's wagon.
"I want this and really it could benefit us all greatly. Imagine if I were to find something, something that would give us the knowledge we once held." Asania argued calmly, her hands placed neatly in her lap. She knew getting her point across would be difficult, after all her possibly leaving had never been brought up before this moment. Staying with the clan though, losing the purpose she had trained for since she was small, it had all been pressuring her lately. A short reprieve from everyone and thing could do her some good.
Her father gave a loud and rude snort. "So this is how you see it?" He asked, voice rising with each word. "Well, you know how we see it? Our young daughter, a talented mage with use here in the clan, is leaving us. She's going to galavant around, alone and blind. What if you were to come into trouble with humans? Or the gods forbid, the Chantry and their Templars? They will kill you before they allow the thought of returning to us to cross your mind." Suledin let out a long sigh, trying to curb his frustration. "You are not going."
"I am not a child anymore, I know that's not the case in your eyes, but it is true nonetheless. Besides, Zathrian believes that I may be able to see more than those with true sight can." She gave her father a reassuring smile, before nodding her head in her brother's direction. "Fen will be coming with me anyway." She could feel said man tense greatly at the mention of his name. Fen would have preferred to have their father realize his disappearance only after the twins had departed. Asania thought much differently.
The sound of a fist hitting wood filled the air before loud stomping was heard leaving where the small elven family sat. More calmly than her husband, Lath stood. "You are both precious to me." She began, making her way towards her children. She placed one hand on each of their shoulders before pressing a kiss to one forehead then another. "So make sure you return safely from this pilgrimage, your father and I will be waiting.
Their departure was quiet, the only goodbyes being from their mother, Zathrian, and The First who all prayed for their safe return and success with their quest. The pair had travelled quietly for a few moments before Fenlin spoke up. "So…where exactly were you planning to start?"
"I was thinking we head towards the Kokari Wilds. We could look through the few ruins that still stand there before backtracking and heading towards the Brecilian Forest where the clan is heading. Seeing us should put mom's mind at ease, at least until we leave again." Asania reasoned.
"…Fine, but we have to be careful. When the clan passed by the area a few days ago there were humans gathering in mass at Ostagar. Also Hetra had killed a darkspawn when out on hunt in that area so it seems they're also crawling their way out of the Deep Roads." With their plan in order, the twins continued on walking to the West. They knew they would be walking into a potential dangerous situation, they just never realized that it would be as bad as it was.
