“In the dawn of the universe there was nothing, then boom! Big Bang sent six elemental crystals hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence.“
I don’t know where to begin. The horrible
truth of what took place in the Approach stunned us all as Valerie recounted
what they’d seen in detail. Warden Alistair was not wrong. There is a darkness
overtaking the Grey Wardens and the Venatori may very well be the cause. It
means we indeed march to war.
What shook me more took place in my office during
a private conversation hinted at days ago in a message. Valerie sat, nervous
and preoccupied, and I did nothing to offer comfort enough for her to speak
plain. Until it happened. Valerie admitted she finally understood something I’d
said months ago, but instead of allowing her to continue I ended the
conversation pushing her away.
Is it possible? Could Valerie truly understand
what I’d meant? It was a slip on my part. We’d only just arrived at Skyhold and
Hawke had tried to gain the upper hand against her. The night remains as clear
as if it happened only hours ago. I had placed my hand against Valerie’s back, as
a sign of support, not comprehending what it might mean.
Hawke’s proposition to her had angered me
enough to step away, and it was in that moment I’d spoken without thinking. Valerie
couldn’t have known my thoughts. She couldn’t have realized at that point I’d
accepted the emotions I carried. The fault of silence and lack of admission to
her then was mine. I thought it ill timed and despite wanting to share my
thoughts? I had said nothing.
Valerie did not appear for our usual
time at the Rest earlier and I sought her out. I heard her words before she left me. I care for you too. She’d said it. Not
me. And the fool I am said nothing in return? After everything? I can’t let
this go. Not now. Valerie may still be at the Rest. I must find her.
