[The Elder King]

I have a useless son who couldn't cast to save his life.
 
any chance you could conscript him? I figure if he doesn't die you can stick him in a library or something?
you have those don't you? or even if you don't you could use him as I don't know a meat shield.
 
I will compensate you for lifting my burden of course, If you don't, i guess I,... I don't know Arrange him to lead a scouting mission.
It's a reputation thing you see, Hardly fitting for a Magister of your stature to have offspring that can't light a candle.

Hmm. In Cumberland We generally make civilians do this kind of work, but I guess I can make an exception. I can't conscript him if he doesn't have any abilities, but I'll try to convince him to join us as a civilian.

I guess being The son of a Magister with no real abilities would be dangerous for him as well.

Whatever role you find for him i'd be grateful, perhaps it best if he dies during the joining?

*gazes silently over the room stroking his goatee in his thoughts and looks at the High Priest. He sees how the elven girl and the HP look at each other, how she gently touches him but hides it as a accident. He observes how HP eyes over her when she leaves. He registers this somewhere in his mind, just in case...*

 

*the encounter stirs something deep inside him and for a moment he wanders of into his old and painful memories...*

 

*"I made this for you" she says with a soft voice, showing a necklace made of sea shells and crystal stones, threaded on a brown string in her delicate hand. With a shy look she looks at him. Her crystal blue eyes, covered partially with her long blond and slightly curly hair, look deep into his eyes. The world could explode around them, qunari or darkspawn could destroy everything but the only thing he could see is her eyes. She wears a plain robe, like all the slaves working in the kitchen, but somehow it is the most beautiful cloth he has ever seen. World is full of scent as they sit on a flowery field. He reaches out and takes the necklace from her hands. "Thank you my love, I will cherish this forever" he says and leans to her planting a soft and gentle kiss on her lips. Her lips taste like the nectar of the Gods. He puts his arms gently around her delicate shoulders...*

 

He suddenly recoils from his memories spilling some wine from the crystal glass he was holding. His left hand reaches up and touches something witch is under his robe around his neck. Pain and loss washes over him, and leaves him with a feeling of emptiness and sorrow. He looks at his hands and remembers...*

 

*"Nooooooo you vile monster!!!" he screams and releases all his magical power from his outstretched hands  at his father in a violent burst of energy fueled by his rage and horror, over the scene he has witnessed in this small stone chamber in the cellars of his family tower. He ran as fast as he could to find them when he learned that his father knew about their love and had taken her with him, but he was too late. His father standing there blood in his hands with a cold look in his eyes. And her.. she lies on the stone table surrounded by candles... there is blood... her face is turned to the door as if she waited for him to save her.. she seems to looks at him with accusing broken eyes... even the ancient stone walls of the chamber start to melt in the hellish power raging in the room*

 

*with a deep gasp of air he pulls himself out of the memories. "it doesn´t help at all, it is in the past now" he mutters to himself wringing his hands together.

 

*he turns at the High Priest*

 

"a special service tonight you said? Count me in my good man". *he forces a sunny smile on his face*

I'd prefer Not to, because we choose only the promising and talented to go through The Joining. If he was skilled in other styles instead of magic, I'd consider. Does he know how to fight with any weapons?

he can deflect arrows with a dagger, I give you permission to test it. don't listen to his protests just fire it at him and he'll block it.

the boy got dizzy lighting a candle. I suppose its my fault, I've been to soft on him. had i proved so weak my father would taken me out to the field brought his strongest slave beat the crap out of me until i cast a spell powerful to force it to stop. where as i couldn't even bring myself to set him on fire to force my to save himself.

 

i can't have someone this weak in the family, I'm sorry monkey potential or not if the wardens don't take him, he has until the new moon to demonstrate proper magically ability or i'll indenture him to the Venatori.

thats 6days...

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED*goes to get teaching aids and secret grimoir *

He will be a force of retribution

[lordsaren101]

The Venatori will find new ways to motivate him. Magister Alexius is a powerful mage, and does not accept failure. He will teach your son the meaning of power.

[raging_monkey]

The venatori are rogue elements

* retribution* you sure the can punish the rogue magi who caused you misery and turned kara against you

[lordsaren101]

Rogue or not, there's a stark beauty in their methods.

*Retribution* even the madman makes sense
Dont you have a hole to crawel into..

* retribution* which one you like all of them..

* sighs wearyly* maker give me strength

[Tevinter Rose]

An interesting dilemma. The added power of a spirit must be a boon to you. If you are in danger does retribution protect you from harm?

Fellow magisters, the temple is having a special service tonight, do feel free to come pay your respects, I promise it will be most enlightening.

 

* I look up from the book I'm reading, "Hard in Hightown 2: Doesn't Get Any Harder Than This" when I hear word of the Temple's special service. As Keeper of the Lore I have access to the finest books in Thedas but reading trashy southern Thedas romance novels is a guilty pleasure I try to keep secret. I smile thinking if they only knew I zone out during most of the Magisterium meetings daydreaming about the books I read. I think to myself I ought to try my hand at writing one at some point. I snap back to attention when I hear wine being served *

 

Enlightening is good. I'll be at the temple services tonight

[Uccio]

*stumbles a little and has his female slaves support him*

 

I seem to be a little tipsy, I have to head home for some freshening up for this nights event. I will see you there then.

 

*his female slaves lead him out of the room where bodyguards take turn to walk him*

My good lord, it simply seems like your son needs a little tough love to become a respectable member of society. Not that he is completely void of any ability. If you would care to take a chance to salvage him, I would happily take him in at my family's compound. One of my nephews had a problem similar to what you described, a subconscious fear of his own magic. It made him quite impotent in the field, he once stubbed his toe and managed to make himself faint whilst healing it, falling down a flight of stairs and breaking his arm in the process. It would have been almost sad had it not been so amusing to witness first hand.

 

Nonetheless, with some patience and a steady regimen we managed to make something of him. As I pen this he is preparing to depart for an expedition to Seheron. Give me the boy and I shall return to you a proper man or failing that his bones.

He is an altus-born of Tevinter, not some Rivaini seeress. You would make him into an abomination like yourself. A cheap and lazy way to get results. Not to mention one with unpredictable consequences. The boy needs discipline. A mage must always be in full control of themselves and binding denizens of the fade to your body is perhaps surest way to ensure that never happens.

Boy: what is this place?

Todays lesson is anger and control. Heal yourself before your rage consumes you* respectfully agrees

Day 6: now the final test open the door * boy easily dispels barrier releasing a pride demon..* did you really think it that easy? * boy smirks in cocky grin "i got this.... brother"

Pretty dark fanfic read discretion advised

[lordsaren101]

Very dark. A good read.

[raging_monkey]

Very dark. A good read.

id love critisim on ways to improve my writing. Tbh i think i went too dark... scared myself a little bit

[lordsaren101]

Can never go to dark, you are a magister are you not?

Besides I just sacrificed a chantry mother to Dumat in my temple thread so this was definitely refreshing to see someone else go equally dark. In fact your whole character arc has taken a great twist with the onset of retribution.

nah went straight from enchanter to FE XD

Really i feel like the arc i have is getting similar to anders(like him alot da2 aswell) just dont want to fully copy just inspiration

Ive spent hours on how retribution and i met and how she went from a spirit of forgiveness to a spirit of retribution. Still finishing the details
