"The joining ritual is a closely guarded secret. Not all who go through it come out." Said Flemeth in a sinister tone. "That doesn't sound good..." Lexi said, a little concerned. "It is worth it in the end, for all Grey Wardens can feel the Archdemon and sense the Darkspawn. It is an invaluable ability." Lexi nodded, but said nothing. "But enough of Darkspawn, Archdemons and Grey Wardens" Flemeth said, and Lexi noted that she never seemed to smile. She laughed just fine, but there were few happy thoughts in this woman's mind; her laugh was more condescending than joyful. "Tell me, where have you come from?" "I don't think you'd believe us" Lexi was saying, but Flemeth retorted quickly. "Try me" Lexi shot a look to Kina, shrugged and nodded a little.

"I come from a different plane called Valhalla, which exists in the same space as a planet called Earth. My friend here, comes from the Underworld."
Kina watched the woman carefully for a reaction but she seemed to give nothing away.

"Oh, indeed" said Flemeth, sounding interested "How is it that you both came to be here together?" "We work for an association that deals in discovering worlds and ensuring their safety, while maintaining the balance of each individual world." "And how did you get here?" "We came through a portal" Lexi said, trying to keep it simple. "Ah, the light in the marshlands" Flemeth said with a smile. Lexi nodded. "And you have only recently discovered this little corner of the universe, correct?" "Correct" Lexi confirmed.

"In fact, that's why we're here," Kina replied, "To see what this world is like, and then to report our findings to our association."

"Ah, but of course" Flemeth said with a nod "Well, the night is a dangerous time-" she eyed their weapons "-though I don't believe you would have much trouble with it." She smiled to herself. "You may rest here, or be on your way, it is of little concern to me. Travelling north from here will take you to the city of Ostagar and the Imperial Highway, from there the larger cities and towns are mostly signed, though anyone in Ferelden will be able to give you directions." "And Ferelden-?" "-Stretches from the Brecilian Forest and the capital city of Denerim in the east to the Frostback Mountains in the west. Orlais is beyond the mountains." "...Right..." said Lexi, a little unsure. Flemeth sighed and went to one of the chests, retrieving a scroll and handing it to Lexi. "A map, so you do not get too lost. You may keep it, I have several." "Thank you" Lexi smiled, grateful for the gift.

Kina smiled at the woman, "It is much appreciated."
Though to her, this place was already getting complicated.

Lexi looked to her friend. "Wait for morning or get going?" she asked. Since they'd only just arrived, Lexi was inclined to just go ahead, but she knew her eyes would be a lot better than Kina's in the dark, so she gave the choice to her instead.

Kina weighed up the options but knew that for her at least, it would be better to wait until morning. "Morning?"

A portal burst into life and a robed figure fell out of it into the middle of the Korcari Wilds. The figure had the hood of their robes pulled up to conceal their identity and a black metal mage's staff strapped to their back. Something moved in the undergrowth, in fact it was several things. The figure's hand went to their staff and they held it ready, the red gem in one end of it bursting into light.
**
Flemeth looked to Kina and Lexi with a cruel smile on her face.
"Another of your kind is here but the Darkspawn are closing in fast. Nothing happens in these Wilds without me knowing. You may wish to go save them, I sense an ogre hungering for mortal flesh"
**
Out in the wilds the gem was wrapped in flames and with one flick of the staff it shot a fireball into a Darkspawn. The figure spun the staff around shooting out more fireballs into other Darkspawn then they held it steady in both hands as a jet of flames lit up the night. Heavy footsteps crashed steadily through the undergrowth, branches snapped and what animals were left fled in terror. The Darkspawn retreated but not enough to allow an avenue of escape for the mage.
Then it emerged into the clearing, an ogre, three times the height of any man and that excluded it's great horns that jutted out of the top of its head. It threw its shoulders back and roared with pure bloodlust. No one in the clearing dared move.
"By the Gods this is going to sting" The figure whispered

Lexi looked to Kina, wide-eyed. "They didn't tell me there was anyone else to wait for..." she said, hesitantly. She moved to the window and saw the jet of flames. "...We have to help, c'mon!" she said, flinging the door open and racing off into the night, calling her thanks back to Flemeth as she did so, and assuming that Kina would be close behind her.
