Cal had never wished for a moment more that he had some sort of magic. That he could better protect Orlaith, that he could somehow make sure they would be okay. Another roar echeod behind them, the sound of the dragon reaching over the crumbling stone. Every step they took seemed to spurn the...

Cal glanced back one last time, looked above them. His breath caught in his throat. His eyes squeezed shut, and then he darted after Orlaith. He moved as quickly as he could, he ran faster than he had ever thought he could. With panic in his heart he moved after the love of his life, dashing...

It was a nightmare. A hellscape. What many back home would have seemed like an eternity in the abyss. Heat. Smoke. It lingered within the air, bit at the lungs, carved at the throat. Cal could feel it. It scratched at his skin, tore at his very soul. They would be burnt out. They would be...

Fuck. Cal knew it was no doubt a lie, but the fact that this one took the time to even tell it told him something; he was likely a man of authority. It was an offer that no soldier would make, not when their orders were cut and dry. He briefly glanced up, searching for the drake before shaking...

Cal twisted his neck just enough to see the Drake fly above them. A quiet curse left his lips, head shaking in disbelief. He wondered why they wanted her so much, why they chased her so far. The Inquisition was thorough, they would go far, but this far? They had already lost two of their...

His fingers wrapped around hers as he shouldered their things. "Lets." He agreed with a nod of his head, glancing back for a moment before he tugged her towards one of the nightstands besides the bed. From it he plucked an odd-jeweled broach, likely left there in a panic. "Memento." Cal said...

Cal froze with his hands on her hips, lips thinning for a brief moment as he watched the ceiling shudder slightly. "I think..." Lips thinned. "It's time to go." There was a pain in his voice. He had wanted days in this place. Weeks perhaps. There was no telling what that sound was, no saying...

Cal smirked against her lips, shaking his head. The night was spent exploring each others bodies, intertwined and interlaced in luxury Orlaith had never been shown before. By the time dawn came, or rather, by the time that they awoke Cal found his love half wrapped around him, the heat of her...

His lips pressed against hers, widening in a grin as he slowly drew himself on top of her. A thousand different fantasies he had never thought that his life would end up like this. He had never thought it would be possible to fall in love with a mage. He had never thought he would kill an...

A small smirk touched his lips, mirroring hers. "You think so?" For a brief moment he looked around the ball room, searching for a new door that they hadn't yet used. He found one eventually, and then suddenly before Orlaith could do anything about it she would feel his arms wrap around her...

"You do." Cal said softly. He knew that she couldn't use her magic, that it was sealed away. It was another torture, another thing taken away from her along with everything else. The thought made him angry, and a wave of it flickered over him as he fought to compose himself. A breath filled...

Cal felt a pang ring through his heart. It was a feeling of anger, of love, of every color and range of emotion that a man could feel. On his worst of days he could hardly comprehend putting someone like Orlaith through the torture that those men had put her through. She was so sweet, so kind...

Cal moved slowly across the dance floor, clutching Orlaith so she didn't falter even once. It was a moment he wanted to savor, to hold close and have with her for the rest of his days. Even if they were short. His fingers tightened gently as they moved, slowly dancing across the floor in that...

He smiled at her, gently tugging her close as they reached the center of the dance floor. Though his family had fallen far before his birth, Cal had still been taught the facets of being a noble. He'd attended Gala's, parties, and all sorts of events in his life. Teaching someone to dance...

Cal smirked as his gaze dropped from the ceiling and fell to her. "Well." He asked with a small smile, stepping over towards her and gently taking both of her hands. There was a surprising...calm, in this city. He felt none of the urgency he had in the other steps of their journey, not of the...
