All Calista Ryder could hear after she woke in SAM node after dying was why was the rookie chosen for Pathfinder? If Alec Ryder had to die why did he choose her? Why not Cora Harper his Asari huntress-trained second who had trained and planned to follow in his footsteps for years. Now here Calista was standing in front of who was left of the Nexus and Initiative leadership and all she could hear was what remained unsaid. If a Ryder had to die on Habitat 7 it should have been Calista Ryder, the rookie, not Alec Ryder, the hero and Pathfinder. Her rounds in Operations merely cemented that feeling with the Director of Operations, Addison, deman

Kalina walked into Riften Karliah's words echoing in her mind. The dark elf had said that by the time the Imperial made it back to Riften Brynjolf and Mercer would have a lead on who had tried to take them down through Maven. There was a nervous tension running through the brunette's body. Lying to Mercer was no problem, lying to Brynjolf was another matter in itself. Although hopefully there would be no outright lying to the red headed Nord and more of an omission. The Imperial thief entered the Guild by the secret entrance in the little graveyard and as soon as she entered the Cistern she could feel the tension. It was thick enough to cut

“So where are we going, Morrigan?” the newest Warden questioned wearily. So much had happened in the past few weeks. The auburn haired woman often wished it was all a nightmare, that she would wake up and her family would still be alive, Howe wouldn't be a traitor and there would be no Blight. Sadly this was the green eyed woman's reality now and no amount of wishing or dreaming would bring her family back. “There is a small village nearby called Lothering,” the witch replied. Karina frowned, “Is that wise? Lothering is within Loghain's Teyrnir. Isn't it possible that some of his men may still be stationed ther

Unfortunately Kalina's plans on heading to Whiterun than back to Riften were interrupted by an urchin who shoved a piece of paper into her hand as soon as she left Windhelm. Before the Imperial could even form a question the child was gone. Opening up the paper all she was a simple symbol and beneath it the letter K. That same symbol, a cloaked dagger, had been on the bill of sale from Goldenglow and Sabjorn's promissory note. To someone else it might not mean much but to the Thieves Guild member it reminded her of the other task she had set for herself, to find Karliah. Although from the note apparently Karliah was taking matters into her ow

Alistair paced worriedly outside the little hut him and the recruits had been lead to and from what seemed like a lifetime ago but in reality had been mere hours while Karina's mabari watched.  His hazel eyes flicked towards the door that led into the hut where the last Grey Warden in Ferelden, other than himself, was resting. The Witch's mother had assured him that Karina would live despite the injuries she had taken at Ostagar. He wasn't sure how though, her injuries had been severe. His heavier armor had protected him but the leather armor the rogue favored didn't offer quite as much. He had expressed his fear and worry to the old woman th

Kalina shivered and pulled her cloak tighter around her as the wind whipped up. The wagon she'd hired to carry her from Solitude to Windhelm bumped over the snowy ground approaching the Stormcloak leader's hold. The Imperial rogue was hoping that she would find Torsten Cruel-Sea outside of the walls and therefore not have to enter the city. The instant Kalina set foot inside the walls of Windhelm Ulfric would know and from there it would be a game of cat and mouse, her being the mouse. The wagon slowed and eventually drew to a stop at the stables outside of Windhelm. Grabbing her pack Kalina jumped down and headed straight for the stable han

Duncan glanced at the young woman he shared camp with. Tomorrow they would reach Ostagar and she had yet to say more than a few words to him. He wondered if perhaps the shock of her parents' death had broken something inside of her, if perhaps his estimation of her strength had been wrong. "So we should reach Ostagar tomorrow shouldn't we?" his companion asked. "Yes." He waited for some further comment but her eyes were on the fire and her mind seemed to have wandered again. The Warden leader wondered if there was some way to draw out the fire he sensed and seen in her when they had first met. The woman lifted her green eyes to the Warden

Kalina stopped outside Whiterun gazing up at the walls that had once been home to her, now Riften, despite all it's troubles, had claimed that title. Still, Whiterun held a special place in her heart and she still needed to make her presence known here, not only because she was Thane but also because she was Harbinger. Her thoughts drifted back to the last time she was here, and the words Aela had spoken to her. "For the sake of the Companions and the Circle you and Vilkas must mend the rift that is between the two of you." It had been months since she had stepped foot inside these walls. The Guild, and
