I loved Fenris, complicated, sweet, fragile and fierce all at the same time. So I thought of a possible future for him and my Hawke;
After leaving Kirkwall, Fenris and Hawke remained at each other’s side , stopping briefly only to rest , eat and to help free slaves, and mages along the way. Fenris, although still wary of mages has accepted that not all mages are bad and will resort to blood magic. He understands now that the plight of slaves and mages are very similar in that it is always wrong to strip a child away from their parents, that all deserve a chance to be free. This understanding only came after the birth of their first child, Imawyn, who was born a very powerful and special mage. Fenris loved her from the first moment he saw her. He knew at that moment he would do anything for her and that if anyone tried to take her from them, he would rip them to shreds. It was also then he finally understood how similar forcing a mage to go to the circle was to slavery. Hawke and Fenris also quickly learned after her birth that their children would be special. Unlike Fenris, who endured a very painful process for his Lyrium tattoos, Imawyn was born with the Lyrium tattoos all over her body, passed directly from father to daughter. With this & the powerful magical gift her mother also passed to her, even at a very young age she is able to perform spells and magic no other mage has ever been able to perform before. Trained by her mother; by 10 years old she is deadly and the most powerful mage the world has ever known. She can enter and exit the fade at will & take as many others she wants with her at a time. Unlike a “dreamer” as the Dalish call it, she is not affected by the temptations of demons and has an uncanny ability to block their influence. She can even control demons for short periods of time, and sense them and expel them from other mages. Demons therefore do not seek her, but avoid her as even they do not understand and fear her abilities. She can also bring back mages who have been made tranquil, and this talent alone has made her a target of the Templars which with their lack of understanding of her gifts; fear her. She also never needs to replenish her mana as her direct line to the fade constantly replenishes it. It was also with her birth that Fenris and Hawke realized they could never stop moving, and that they needed to teach their children how to defend themselves in an ever more hostile world if they were to survive. With the birth of their second child; Maccon, once again the Lyrium tattoos were passed from Fenris to their son. Maccon, which means “son of the wolf”, was born a rogue, and also showed abilities and gifts no other rogue has ever had before. He can vanish & teleport himself, along with one other if needed, to any place he can see or has seen before. He does not enter the fade, but does this by traveling at great speeds between the fade and the physical world. He also can slow time for brief periods, and can sense the presence of other beings. Even tell if they are friend or foe from a distance. He also has an endless supply of stamina. Trained by his father in advanced weaponry and fighting, along with some assistance from Varric when he could, Maccon has mastered fighting and stealth techniques well beyond what most rogues would dream of acquiring in a lifetime, all by the tender age of 7. Maccon is the pride of his father who loves his son’s mischievous nature. Hawke and Fenris love their children and know they will someday be unable to protect them from the world around them. A world that is changing, and a land in turmoil with Dragons darkening the sky, and mages now fighting back in vast numbers against the Templars. For now they will stay hidden, and protect their family until their children are old enough and strong enough to fend for themselves…..the inquisition is coming.
