The week passed as Vincent was quite a loving father to the dwarves he adopted. Arthur was quite surprised to see that while Kirvena and Karliah weren't really.
"It's time to leave Orzammar," says Vincent as the children were quite scared because of the stories they heard that the sky would be eating them making Vincent smile as he says, "But you eleven will be going somewhere else. I informed my uncle, the Emperor, about your arrival in the palace. He will take care of you until I return to Tamriel."
Suddenly a blue portal appeared in the room as Vincent says, "You just have to walk through this portal and you will arrive at the White-Gold Tower. You will be treated well until I arrive so don't worry about it. I will return in less than a year."
The children hugged Vincent and their mothers before entering the portal as Vincent waved while saying goodbye to them. Once the portal closed Arthur asks, "Are you sure that you aren't a mage?"
"Pretty sure. Mages are far better than I am," says Vincent as he never saw himself as a Mage but a Dragoon with sub-specialties.
At the same time in the White-Gold Tower, Naosane was awaiting the Dwarves as eleven came out of it. He saw the oldest holding a baby and says, "You must be the oldest of them. Welcome to your temporary home sister."
"Sister?" asks the woman confused as suddenly every knight in the room kneeled before the eleven Dwarves as Naosane nods.
"My father has to be quite secretive in Thedas since his position could jeopardize the mission. That's why he is going as Ambassador and not as former Emperor. I, as his fifth child and firstborn, welcome you to Tamriel your new home. We will take care of you until father returns," says Naosane as the children were quite confused.
"I'm not adopted," says the woman as Naosane takes the letter of his father out and hands it over.
"In this letter, it states that he adopted 11 Dwarves. You are eleven that means that you are also his daughter," says Naosane as the woman began to cry in happiness since she thought she would be separated from her son once he was old enough but now she found out that she was also a Highwing.
"Don't worry sister. You should follow the guards. They will show you your accommodations until father return," says Naosane as the woman only said "Thank you." over and over again.
In the letter was also something for the training of the children having the oldest train by making push-ups and stamina training as well as language training.
"He really is my father," says Naosane to himself as he read the letter and walked back to the council were his nephew was waiting.
Back in Orzammar, Vincent already said his goodbye to King Endrin and Sereda as he was ready to leave with his men.
They walked through the city while people were wondering where the children were thinking that Vincent might have eaten them.
They were back to the surface when the Gatekeeper says, "Welcome back, Ambassador. Your people are over there."
The Gatekeeper points at where the camp was as the people seemed well-rested and quite in a good mood when Vincent asks, "Did some bandits attack?"
"No, but they helped me quite well against some gravediggers around the area," says the Gatekeeper as he was pretty much happy that the Legion took care of the people.
Vincent nods and walks over to his people and says, "Alright everyone. We are marching again. This time its the Circle of Magi."
"Really, you want to go to the circle. It isn't safe for you to go," says Arthur as Vincent smiles at him.
"Don't worry," says Vincent with confidence as he mounted Behemoth and continues, "I'm going there to see how Mages are treated on this continent. I have to inform the Empire about it and seeing it first hand will help me a lot."
Arthur was now really nervous as he asks, "What will you do if it isn't like you expect?"
"That has the Emperor to decide," says Vincent when suddenly a letter from Hrotti arrives.
Vincent reads it and says, "Everyone we change course towards the Korcari Wilds."
"The Korcari Wilds, are you sure. We could encounter Avvars or Barbarians in our way," says Arthur as Vincent laughs and Arthur realizes it who he was talking to and sighs as he jumped onto Behemoth's back before they began to march.
They arrived at Lothering as Vincent says to the men, "You will rest here. I will return in four-five days."
"We are also staying behind?" asks Karliah as Vincent nods.
"Yes, Hrotti said something about a powerful mage but could escape before the mage could catch her. If I go alone it should be alright," says Vincent as his wives nod.
Arthur was happy that he didn't need to join him as he sighs in relief when Vincent says, "You will be following me."
"What?" asks Arthur as his dream of sleeping soundly in an inn was shattered.
"You will be coming with me. You are my guide after all," says Vincent as Arthur again sighs but now not in relief.
They began to ride on Behemoth as they took two days to reach the place Hrotti mentioned. There was a rundown house beside a little lake in the swamps. Vincent could feel that something wasn't right as he jumps down and says, "Behemoth take Arthur back to Lothering."
Behemoth protested for a moment until Vincent petted him and says, "We have no time for this."
Behemoth then runs as fast as possible away with Arthur on his back. Vincent then turned to the house and walks towards it while his armor appears on him as well as his spear.
Then an old woman comes out of the house and says, "Oh, we have a visitor and he is even highly armed."
"How about you drop the act. I can feel that you are strong not as strong as that Mer I killed but still strong," says Vincent as he points his spear at the woman.
{What do you want here, Dragon?} asks the woman all of a sudden making Vincent smile.
{It's Dragonking. Alduin is long dead and I took his place,} says Vincent as the woman opened her eyes wide.
{I never thought he would ever die. His father was always so protective of him,} says the woman when now Vincent laughs.
{He is also my father so why should he favorite one and not the other. Alduin made a mistake and wanted to end Nirn. I just stopped him by my father's will,} says Vincent as the woman was now a little nervous.
"How about you tell me why you can talk in Thu'um and why you tried to take my granddaughter captive," says Vincent as he showed his anger.
"I didn't know she was your granddaughter. My name is Flemeth," says Flemeth as she bowed towards Vincent trying to calm him.
"Flemeth like the one the Thedasianer talk about, The Witch of the Wild?" asks Vincent as Flemeth nods.
"One and the same," says Flemeth as Vincent hits his spear against the ground as his aura showed.
"Lies," says Vincent as Flemeth looked at him confused why he would say she was a liar when Vincent takes a book out and reads it for a moment before saying, "You are Mythal. Another fake god of the elves. I already killed one of them and stole his secrets."
Vincent then takes Solas' Ball out and shows it making Flemeth's eyes open even bigger as she was scared. She recognized the ball and says, "No, it can't be."
"Solas or how you called him Fen'Harel is dead," says Vincent as he walked towards Flemeth. He puts the ball away and says, "I know your story. I read it after Solas died and my friend compressed everything in books. You were betrayed by the others."
Flemeth was scared she wanted to escape but couldn't because of what was inside the house when Vincent says, "What if I tell you that they will be returning soon."
"What do you mean?" asks Flemeth as she didn't move while Vincent passed her.
"What I told you. They will be returning in a short time. Vaermina won't be able to select who will be a mage and who won't. Soon the Veil will collapse and the war between the Elves and the Humans will begin anew just that this time the Qunari and Darkspawn will be in their mids while the Empire will watch it unfold and once the war is over we will strike," says Vincent as he looked at her like a snake eyeing its prey.
"I will give you a chance. You could join the Empire and get your revenge," says Vincent as Flemeth knew that she would have to pay a price when Vincent continues, "You just have to join the research team under Mannimarco."
"Only that?" asks Flemeth as Vincent nods surprising Flemeth.
"I need time to think a blight is coming," says Flemeth as Vincent nods.
"I know," says Vincent as he looked at the house and asks, "Do you live with someone?"
"My daughter," says Flemeth as Vincent walked towards the house when Flemeth stops him.
"You must be planning something with your daughter to fight the blight am I right," says Vincent as he saw through her.
"Yes, I wanted her to help the Grey Wardens," says Flemeth as Vincent smiles.
"That won't be necessary the more chaos there is the better for the Empire," says Vincent with a smile that could scare anyone.
"You would let the Darkspawn slaughter everyone," says a voice coming from inside the house as Vincent looked at the beautiful woman.
She had yellow eyes and short hair. Her clothes were quite small showing some skin here and there as Vincent says, "I would. We are already working on an antidote."
Suddenly a letter arrived in his hand surprising the two women when Vincent opens it and says, "And it seems they finished it already. Grey Wardens won't be necessary any longer."
"Now I will ask one last time. Will you join the Empire or die," says Vincent as his spear was on Flemeth's neck.
"We will join the Empire," says Flemeth as Vincent puts the spear away.
"Wise decision. Your daughter is quite beautiful maybe she can marry one of my grandsons," says Vincent as he takes another look at her and asks, "What's your name girl?"
"Morrigan," says Morrigan as she was right now disgusted by what Vincent said.
"Trust me, there are worse fates than marrying into my family," says Vincent as he looked at Flemeth and says, "We will leave in two days. I want you to pack everything up. If you make one wrong move and death will follow you, understood."
They nod as Vincent entered the hut. They noticed that Vincent now had a softer face as he says, "What do you think I like to play the bad guy. I'm a human too. Just that to fulfill my objective I need to be colder than a Tyrant."
This made it clear to the two that Vincent wasn't really evil but needed to be it to fulfill his objective.
