#inquisitor aether

I pray every day now.

Not for myself, but for my people.

Not just my people, the Dalish. Not just my people, the elves. Not just my people, the mages.

I pray for my people.

I pray for the men and women who carry the banners of the Inquisition, these humans and elves and dwarves and qunari, Dalish and Andrastian and Ancestors, Circle and Apostate.

I pray for these people who are going out into the world and fighting with my name on their lips. For the Herald. For the Inquisitor. For the Inquisition.

I pray for their sake.

For their safety.

I pray to the Creators, to Andraste and her Maker, to the Avvar Old Gods, to the Stone, that someone, anyone who might be listening will hear me and protect these people.

I am scared.

My advisors tell me to trust in the people of the Inquisition, the soldiers, spies, and diplomats that are working for me, and I do trust them, but I worry.

Someone, anyone, if you hear me, please shelter these people in the times that my reach is too far. Save your children from the evil I am forced to face. If I am to face this horror, I beg of you, please, let me suffer in their stead.

I will never want to stand at the back of this army on a pedestal while they fall to the arrows and swords of my enemies.

Please, let me stand before them so I might bear the blows in their stead.

Let me kneel as though in worship as I spend myself to the bottoms of my mana well so that I might mend their wounds and wash the blood from their dying lips, so that these people can look me in the eyes and know I did not wish this on their last breaths.

Because we are not a separate people any more.

They are my people.

And I am theirs.

I pray every day for my people.

3, the one with the prettiest eyes might be a tie between Aether and Tierian. Aether has these shimmery green eyes with the faintest edges of green-blue framed with long blond eyelashes, meanwhile Tierian has hazel eyes, green-brown, with a large golden fleck of heterochromia in his right eye.

4, Assan is physically the strongest, she’s a tank :D Shanedan and the wtnc version of him (Shane) are the most fit though. He is my biggest athlete because of basically being a gymnast, able to do all sorts of flips and tricks with his body.

And tagging

It was a curious vision, Solas thought as he observed the Dalish man who looked up at the Breach in childlike awe and wonder. It was such a different reaction from the horror and fear the humans expressed with eyes so green they could only be compared to elfroot glowing in the reflected light of the looming Rift. Glancing down at the other mage's hand, he noted the distracted wince as the Mark flared, but it did not distract this man from whatever thoughts he entertained. He was not afraid of the unknown. He was not afraid of the wrath of heaven that stood before him. And when he closed his eyes, Aetherius, he said his name was, drew a steadying breath, and then he turned his gaze to Cassandra. "Let's find a way down."

He was ready to face the Breach. And perhaps this time he would seal it properly.

"Take care of your brother, Suledin," Aether said with such fierceness that it startled her still.

He never raised his voice unless he was scared, that someone got hurt or was going to get hurt, and already so many people were hurt as they cowered in the Chantry.
