Dragon Age: Redemption Page #2

---

No need for coddling.

I'm useful.

How?

I can do this.

Maker's blood!

- I have the gift!

- The curse, you mean!

My uncle trained me,

I know healing spells.

- Apostate!

- No, wait.

You say you're a healer, little elf?

Yes, lady.

A good one.

Prove it.

Go on, heal.

Anytime now.

Good boy.

You stabbed me!

You wanted to prove a point,

I proved it was my point.

You can come along,

but the mage is our priority.

Let's go.

I am not working with an apostate!

My job is to lock them up,

or exterminate them!

That boy is extremely dangerous!

You'll have to come along

to keep an eye on him then, won't you?

You're going the wrong way.

My uncle would have protected

our clan from the attack

but he was taken months ago.

We hope that he escaped the Chantry.

Find his way back to us.

Few escape the Templars.

That's funny, the Saarebas did.

Maybe you met him!

A Dalish mage imprisoned in Kirkwall,

he's name is Yevven.

Dead.

The Chantry killed him?

Of course not!

He was being...

...examined.

He was killed during the escape.

Saarebas did it.

To hide his trail to the Dalish camp.

The Keeper told Saarebas

where to find the mask?

Of course.

Try to keep up.

Josmael?

You've been silent for leagues.

Doesn't seem your specialty.

With my uncle Yevven dead...

That means besides Fina,

everyone I love is gone.

Better to happen young.

It's less painful that way.

A follower of the Qun feels not love,

for nothing should tyrannize

their heart.

Religious?

Just like to hear myself speak.

Love doesn't tyrannize!

It's the only thing that matters

in this world.

Without Fina, I'm nothing.

You two are old.

- Thanks!

- Thanks.

So you probably don't remember

when you first met,

the feelings you get

when you look in each other's eyes!

Ohh!

- That's, uh...

- You...

- You have it wrong.

- No...

The Templar and I are not together.

But you love someone, right?

I loved my family.

Loved?

As Templars we're not allowed to marry.

We're wed to the Church.

Sometimes... that's lonely,

but its the life I've chosen.

Our stations have that in common.

The Qunari assign us partners,

if we are ever allowed one.

It's much easier that way.

Feelings just, uh...

They lead to trouble.

I'll find Fina if I have to walk

to the ends of the Earth,

down the deep roads

into the abyss of...

Alright, well, I don't think

we'll have to travel that far.

We're catching up.

The Phylactery is pointing to that cave.

Saarebas is in there.

And he's not alone.

Come on, let's go.

As a drowning man knows the sea,

so does a mage know magic.

Wonderful magic.

Trapped.

Perfect!

We go around the right,

get the girl out of danger first.

Our only goal is the mage,

you said that yourself.

Calm yourself, child.

This small sacrifice...

Bards will tell tales of you.

What is a little blood...

For a lot of power!

Fina!!

Maybe I should have let you kill him!

It's not too late.

Incapacitate who you can

and stay in the back!

I'll annul the mage's magic

with the Phylactery,

you punch him and get the collar on.

Good plan!

Rouges?

I'm here to save you, love!

The Saarebas!

I'll show you magic, elf.

You.

Reaver, earn your fee!

The first step...

The mask.

Josmael, leave it!

It's my duty!

Saarebas, remember this?

Never again!

I serve the Qunari no more!

I serve myself!

Blast you, mage!

Rogues!

No! No!

Stop!

Why am I the only one

that has to clear rubble?

Because you're the one responsible

for us being trapped, infant!

Keep digging!

I'll make this simple:

Help us, you live.

Live? In that pit of a prison?

Unlikely.

How did you get caught up with Saarebas?

You got coins, lovey? 'Cause chopping

or stabbing is the same to me.

A mercenary...

I can respect that.

What the mage buy you with?

Freedom.

Looks like it was just a loan...

Lovey.

What's he doing with that mask?

Where is he headed?

I got hung out by him, sure,

but my lips don't move for free.

Again!

Put some arm into it next time.

Hold on!

Can't you see she's a Reaver?

Pain means nothing to her.

And if I'm in the right mood,

then pain is alright.

You wanna go?

Pass.

You're old news to a girl like me.

Leave her.

I'll send guards later.

Hey!

Light!

Hey, it's stinkin' dark in here!

A little information would be nice,

but we don't need her.

We can follow the mage

with your tracking device.

No...

The phylactery was broken during

the fight. There's no salvaging it.

You're kidding, right?

Oh, I'm sorry...

You wouldn't joke about anything.

So we don't know where he's going,

what he's up to,

even why he's got a hostage?

[Nyree laughs]

I do!

We need to shorten this process, Reaver?

Stop!

You're hired.

Half now, half after

we capture the mage.

I assume that's about 20 times

your regular rate...?

Name is Nyree.

I'm yours, elf. Command me.

Where did you get that?

Oh! Your Keeper's wagon.

That's my clan's savings,

you can't just steal it!

Can't what?!

Hire up a set of hands that helps us,

rather than near kills us?

She's right!

If it wasn't for your incompetence,

I'd have that mage's corpse

on my shoulder by now!

I thought the Chantry

wanted him alive...

Of course!

I remember your sorry face

from the prison...

I was there...

What of it?

Shoving those mages

up and down the hall, back and forth.

Even had bets on what went on

in that weird cell...

Our task is to manage magic users!

Alright, you two!

We're gonna play nice together, got it?

You! Tell me where the mage is going.

An elvish ruin.

The cinder mount?

Sure...

What's with the cinder mount?

The mask...

A sacrifice.

Ripping the Fade open.

He must be using blood magic,

as he did here.

That's why he has Fina.

He'll...

No.

No!

Let's keep digging.

We should have never have left her,

we should have ran!

How far is this place, Nyree?

We were on our way down Rowan Way,

about a day into Wildervale.

My blade will sure smile

slicing through that mage.

Tall and sinewy.

Will be hard for us to catch them.

I made a mistake back there.

We won't consider that elf girl again.

If you win our duel...

Of course.

There's a shortcut

through the Vimmark mountains.

We can be half a day ahead if we hurry.

How do you know about this shortcut?

My people have no home but the road.

We know all the byways, just...

Let's hurry!

[Cairn] What do you know

about these ruins?

It's an ancient place of power

from our people's time in Elvhenan.

Not our, yours.

Continue.

The veil between the Fade

and our world is thin there.

Using that mask gonna create

an army of demons, he said.

Heading to Kirkwall,

destroy the Qunari...

And then the Chantry.

And from there, who knows?

Sounded like the side to be on though.

But why?

He's pissed at the world!

Raised as an animal...

Collared...

Used as a weapon...

I'd destroy

all that's in front of me too.

There! In the valley,

that's the inn I spoke about.

Let's eat.

Gather our strength.

We shouldn't linger...
