Thanks for the idea, Tanky! (EDIT: Gah, formatting demons. Out, I command ye!)
Prompt: Serenity, or ‘River’s take on the Danarius battle’
Fenris (to Varania):
You led them here!
River stares, transfixed. Simon watches in horror, looking between the elves and his own sister as The Confrontation continues.
Simon (
horrified, to River): You know I will never do that. Let’s get out of here. (takes River’s arm carefully)
Hawke confronts Danarius, who taunts her. Fenris tells him off.
River (
continues to stare and refuses to move): This…this will get
messy.
Danarius and his henchlings get their asses properly kicked. A couple of henchlings get too close to Simon and River disposes of them. Engrossed, she stares at the shades, corpses, and Rage Demon, keeping a clear circle around her brother free of danger as only River can.
Fenris goes all “You are no longer my master” on Danarius. River favors him with a rare, unrestrained smile.River: Fortunate to have friends…(
Danarius gets destroyed by Fenris) Avenged on the Master. A dream. A reality. But it
did get messy.
Fenris confronts Varania. Hawke wisely stays out of it.
Simon: Wait, we have to help that girl…no one else is!
River: (Shakes her head) No! He gave everything he had for her. She tore his heart out. She isn’t worthy…(trails
off) His friend is doing the right thing.
She nods at Hawke.
Simon wavers and then continues to stand protectively near her. Fenris reaches into Varania’s chest and we all know what happens next. Simon shouts in horror, but River silences him. They go unnoticed by Fenris and Hawke.
River: And the last chain breaks.
Simon: (
still horrified) You scare me sometimes…how did you know all that again?
River regards Fenris with a sympathetic look, recognizing someone who has, in a way, walked the same path she has. She shakes her head and takes Simon's arm gently.
River: He's a kindred spirit. I have memories. He has faced horrors much like mine. Now he can find some peace. We should go.
