Lady Jess, that is too tragic. I could never do that to my bro. And your writing brings the pain out even more. Well written piece.

Thanks! I hate doing it but I want all possible endings. Except ones where he dies, or I die. I refuse to do those. I blame Bioware for being mysterious thus making ME feel the need to have every ending except death saved...lol

"There were times Alistair almost wished he'd never left the Chantry."
 
There were days when Alistair longed to be back in the Chantry.
 
Alistair sighed and shifted, but was careful to keep himself between the cell door and the unconscious woman curled at his side. Waking up sprawled out on the cold floor of a cell had been bad enough. It was worse seeing Lya in the same position. So he’d carried her over to the back of the cell, and placed himself in a position to try and protect her, as little good as it probably was.
 
Speaking of which, he hoped she would wake up soon. It was worrisome that she hadn’t yet, and he hadn’t been able to rouse her. He had checked her for injuries, and she was a little banged up, but nothing that seemed life-threatening. He wished Wynne were there, or even Morrigan, to check on her and make sure.
 
His fingers drifted down to brush the knot on Lya’s skull, just above her ear. It was the reason she still slept, and he couldn’t do anything about it. All he could do now was wait and pray. And hope that help came before Loghain did.
 
He leaned his head back against the wall, his thoughts turning inward.
 
A templar would never have snuck into an arl’s estate to rescue a queen.
 
A templar would never have surrendered in order to let said queen escape.

A templar would never have ended up locked in a cell in Fort Drakon.
 
There was a slight movement as Lya shifted and then she groaned. He reacted instantly, rolling onto his knees to help her sit up. “Easy,” he murmured, settling her against the wall. “How do you feel?”
 
Lya blinked at him, shaking her head slightly to clear it. She didn’t answer him immediately, instead looking down, flexing and testing limbs and joints. Touching the bump on her head, she winced.
 
“All right,” she replied. “Nothing’s broken, except maybe my pride. Where are we?”
 
“Fort Drakon.”
 
“Oh, yay,” she said dryly. “I’ve always wanted to visit. Hmmm.” She hummed thoughtfully, looking around. Spying the lone guard, her eyes narrowed in thought. Then her gaze landed on the rather substantial chest next to him.
 
“Is that what I think it is?”
 
“If you think it’s our armor and weapons, then yes. I heard a couple guards lusting after it earlier.”
 
She thought a moment longer, and Alistair could see a plan forming behind those clear, green eyes and he knew that whatever she came up with was almost certainly going to be wild, reckless and probably take years off his life. Like fighting a high dragon for practice.
 
Getting to her feet, she turned and grinned at him, excitement brightening her features. “What do you say we get out of here?”
 
He answered her grin in return. That expression was impossible to resist. This was going to be wild, reckless, terrifying and awesome.
 
And as she walked towards the bars of the cell, calling to the guard, he thought, yes, there were definitely days he wished he’d never left the Chantry.
 
Today? Not one of those days.

@LadyDamodred: Aw, I'm glad that she woke up ready to plan an impossible escape and, despite his earlire melancholy, Alistair decided he was glad to be where he was after all.

[Briiel]

I wish I had talents for story telling like you wonderful Ladies do ! Keep up the good work !! =)

[LadyDamodred]

I figure the good outweighs the bad most of the time.

[Tigress M]

@Yankee - Awesome!  I love not only the image but the style as well.  Nicely done! 

@Klarabella - Yeah, he's not real comfortable in that role, as you can tell. 

@Sarah - I love the open ending!  I think you did a great job of capturing Alistair's feelings.  Nicely done.  

@Lady Jess - I could feel his pain.  That's such a sad ending for him and you really brought out all the emotion of it.  

@Briiel - Excellent concept!  I am sure that day was a difficult one for him.  

@LadyD - Loved it!  Especially the line about killing a High Dragon for practice!  That's exactly why my first Warden did it.  And a nice twist on the ending.  

[TotoroTori]

*looks at prompt* okay let me get my thinking cap on

[LadyDamodred]

*grins at Tigress*

I've really go to write that conversation down.  Because Alistair thinks Lya is completely insane and she's all  "Well, do you know how to kill a dragon?"

Edit:  Also, loving everyone's work so far!  Naked Oghren riding the mabari had me in a fit of giggles.

@ LadyD, very nice take on the Fort scene.



@ Bri, seeeeeee!

[Yankee23]

Wow, great job everyone!! It looks like our first prompt is a resounding sucess, keep 'em coming!!

And kudos to Skyl4rk for getting it all organized and off and running!

Thanks for all the nice comments...when I read Sarah's prompt the first thing I thought was that it had to be accompanied by a facepalm, lol.

@Yankee:

OMG!! Yours is my favorite by far!! Forgot about the no judging thing... 

I wonder if he also got Dog drunk in order to ride him.

 Yay, the first prompt has started!  I haven't had time to read any of the written responses.  I'm storing them up, so when I get a break, I can enjoy a reading binge.  

@ Schratty - I love the very sad Alistair face!  <3

@Yankee - OMG, it's a Drunk Derp Dog!  

[Skyl4rk]

@Maria13: That was a beautiful take on the lead up to the rose conversation. 
Wonderfully done!

@Schratty: Awww...I feel for the man. The emotion on his face is heartbreaking. Great job! *sniff...*

@Tigress: Babysitter Alistair...poor guy being surrounded with rascals, lol! Cute ending to the piece, though . Very good “awww...” moment.
@Rage: LOL! That is perfect! I can’t stop laughing! It’s like a scene out of National Lampoon’s Animal House. 

@Reika: It never cease to amaze me how well you write out your scenes.   I can almost feel Alistair’s really bad hangover .   And him throwing up on Oghren is sweet justice! Haha!

@Yankee: I don’t know what to laugh the hardest at. The numerous empty liquor bottles on the ground, or naked Oghren riding Dog. The way Alistair stands there holding his head (either covering his eyes or nursing a headache, or both) is the cherry on top. I love it!

@Sarah: Excellent first prompt! It spawned such excellent submissions here, and we’re only on the first day! Your take on the prompt fill is very well detailed on that particular ending. It’s a very good depiction of a hardened Alistair – shows he is a far cry from the reluctant leader and good Chantry boy that he was. Well done!

@Lady Jess: That was heart wrenching! I still haven’t tried that ending, but after reading your piece there, I don’t know if I’ll ever will...

@Briiel: Id’ say, using a screen capture would have the hardest job to fill a prompt ‘cause of various limitations. But you’ve made it work seamlessly here. Excellently done! Now, I’m just wondering, that look on Alistair’s face there, was it because Cailan wasn’t using Rage’s mod? :

@LadyD: lol at High Dragon practice. It’s sweet that he finds her insane antics endearing, and that he can be as equally insane as her. An enjoyable read indeed

I really can't believe this is only  the first day.  I can't wait to see the rest.  So excited!

Thank you Yankee   You know I couldn't have done it without the help from you guys!  You all made it so easy.

@Sky: Maybe that's why Wynne was smirking before i cropped that .

Hehe, when you mentioned where that screenshot was, my mental image was him saying "Oh Maker, that's a really bad case of rigor mortis."

[Lady Jess]

I found some Alistair in my garden today.



By me.

Haha, I don't mean to be a prompt hog, but after reading several of my fellow Alistairans' submissions, I was inspired to flesh out my original idea. I hope you guys don't mind.

edit:I've included it in my original submission post.

Ok that was sadder than MINE!

[RagingCyclone]

Lady Jess, that shot reminds me of Leliana's vision.

"When I woke, I went to the chantry's gardens, as I always do. But that day, the rosebush in the corner had flowered...Everyone knew that bush was dead. It was grey and twisted  and gnarled--the ugliest thing you ever saw, but there it was--a single beautiful rose. It was as though the Maker had stretched out His hand to say: 'Even in the midst of this darkness, there is hope and beauty. Have Faith.'"

Unless you count the grand cleric.  XD

@LadyJ - Awwww. That's beautiful.

@Schratty, you didn't need to try and improve your first submission, as it was heart wrenching enough, but your second piece just stuck the knife in a little farther.

@Wulfram - Hahaha! This is very true. That would be one good reason to have stayed there, eh?
