She is created for Abel De Riva Companion AU idea belongs to @scalycat 💜

Story if Avis is here but be careful! It’s pretty gory and dark^^

You don’t have to read it if you don’t like things like that)

Kind of - because it would be story of Avis ^^ Careful! Story is pretty dark and gory ^^’

Original idea of Abel being companion belongs to @scalycat 💜

(sorry if tagging troubles you, I could put it away if you wish and you don’t want to read such dark things^^)

And sorry for typos^^’

So. Legat Charon Mercar found an elven child on the battlefield and brought her home. Their only son has left family house by that time so lady Mercar decided to raise herself a companion. She was taught almost everything young noble lady should know - ow to read, to wrute, to play so music, to make some simple potions on how to tak care of someone's health. Since she remembere herself Avis was standing aside other house slaves. But not nearly a "person", progressiveness of Mercar family did not spread that wide. Avis was something like a lady's beloved educated pet. A bit later some spark of magic gift started to reveal and that took light interest of legat.

And years later the son of Mercar family has returned from Minrathous.

Late child and the only heir, they loved him madly. But he was the embodiment of exactly every worst tevinter cliche. Greedy for power and status, insolent, ambitious (but not in a good way), envious - asshole to put it short. And he saw Avis.

When she was a little girl he paid no more attention to her than to house cats. But now, when Avis has grown up and bloomed - pretty, not exhausted like usual slaves and not so wash-out like bedroom ones - untouched by anyone...

As I said lord and lady Mercar loved their son unconditionally. And all other slaves and servants did not love Avis. Nobody protected her. Every time young lord paid a visit to his parents Avis ended in his bed. She was raised an obedient slave but she was hurt, she felt scared - and betrayed. Since those times lady Mercar began to suffer from nightmares, full of guilt, terror and someone's painfull touches. That blown up her health, phisical and mental, and lady began to fade quickly. Eventually legat Charon figured who was the reason of his wife untimely death. It turned out Avis was a somniari - untrained but powerfull, she involuntarily dragged in her own dreams the only close person she knew. Needless to say, his sympathy to Avis drained out after that.

She was given to young lord Mercar for good.

Next few years was a nightmare to Avis. She was so desperate that she even tried to resist - she tried to affect her new master, to twist his mind and to make him leave her alone. He noticed, of course, he was a mage himself. And that was when physical punishments went into action. But not too cruel - Avis turned out to be a valuable item because of her gift. Young lord did leave her alone though. When she became pregnant by him.

As I mentioned before young lord Mercar was not only envious but ambitious and fawning over his superiors as well. He beame pretty close to his patron, magister Halward Pawus who shared with his yong friend his sad consern - unapropriate behaviour of his son Dorian. Young lord Mrcar was happy to help. He offered a ritual - blood magic ritual, powefful and horrific - that would definitely fixed Dorian's "defect". And he manage to persuade both Halward and his father to take part in it.

Of course itual wouldn't "fixed" anything. At best it would turn Dorian into a spineless puppet - and that was exactly the purpos of young lord Mercar. Avis knew that. One of a few preks of being slave - nobody watches their mouth near you. And when magister Pawus arrived to Mercar's estate with his son, she found a way to warn Dorian. What Avis did not know is that ritual required an enormous amount of power. Amount that could be provide by sacrificing of unborn mage child. She saved Dorian - but there was nobody to save her.

In the middle of ritual it turned out that Dorian has fled, magister Halward had panicked and ran after him, destroyed the ward spells - and everything turned into a bloodbath. Terrors, demons of Fear and Despair, Rage demons tore into pieces everyone who was in the mansion - all summoned by tiny elf forgotten and dying in the pool of her own blood on the floor.

Dorian did not forget his savior though. He managed to warn his friends about the ritual - they called the authorities. When templars arrived Mercar mansion was on fire already. Neighbours was terrified by blood-freazing screams coming from there. Yet miraculously Avis was found alive among the burned ruins. Barely - but still. Maevaris took her under her care and Avis's body recovered suprisingly fast. The hardest part was to recover her mind. To find and to bring her back from where she has ran to. And that was he merit of young son of Vesperian family who was not the leader of Shadow Dragons yet but tried to help already)

Avis recovered with time and with help of her new friends. She has to learn many things about the world and about herself. She did not became a frontier fighter like Tarquin but she is always happy to help others find calmness and comfort near her.

And yes that was difficult at some points X))) And sometimes surprising. But not very much XD

Okay, Alistair is love of my life, picking him is kind of reflex XD Varric is the best friend ever. Cullen is my fair knight number two and Inquisitor’s beloved husband (now do you understand why I was so surprised by Rook’s choice? X))) Zevran, mi amor, he is the first Antivan Crow I’ve met - and he is number one since then. (Even more breathtaking than you, Viago, sorry)) Aveline and Cassandra are cool) Tough women with gentle hearts 💜 Dorian and Josephine are precious Inquisitor’s friends, almost like younger siblings)) And Anders - oh, Anders, Garret’s troubled broken heart^^

I would like to ask you if you'd like me to draw you some fanart/art of anyone of your request in any way you request (we can talk it over in our dms).

And if you feel as if this is too kind a request on its own, I am willing to do an art trade with you — it can be a fic, art/fanart of your own of one of my characters/ocs, or anything you are willing and wanting to do in return.

I hope you accept my request, and if not I appreciate you letting me ask anyway ❤️

Oh, can I ask you to draw or to write anything about your Velasco and my Rook Mercar?) Anything that ck es to mind - friendly interaction, some Crow routines maybe or just chilling ( ah, she likes Crows, doesn’t she^^’)) ? Alecto is welcome if you and @alystrin03 would like))

Of course, you don’t have to do anything that doesn’t inspire you 💜

DA Kiss Week is on its way.

So… Are any of your Rooks willing? ^^

Original idea belongs to @scalycat 💜

Avis insisted Abel should be shirtless. For some magic science, I’m sure XD

I’ve remembered meme from Chucky’s Bride and I couldn’t resist X)))
