The two kept quiet through their travel mostly because there wasn't much to say at this point. He was sure she also didn't want to think to much on this whole thing with the mage as he didn't either. He didn't want to think about blood magic and death, people in general. He just wanted to get this all done. ~~~ Maraas was up and ready to travel when everyone was and did so quietly since she felt like she wanted to get ride of the girl every time she flashed a smile and skipped along. Could she really have no remorse for harming Fenris. She moved along till they had to stop for a break, her eyes going to Fenris when Ariane decided to join. She gave Ariane the same straight faced look she gave everyone however and kept her mouth shut as Fenris spoke. When she left, Maraas gave him a raise of her brow. "You convinced her pretty well. Either that or she's stupid."

Fenris smirked at her as he watched Araine walk away to get stuff together really. "Well, two can play her game, its not hard to get where she is...Its just a game." He said easily as he kept his eyes on her as she went between groups to talk and the like. In her polite yet naïve appearance, she shook his head, how had he ever fallen for that.
It wasn't long before they stopped and he saw Araine slip of into the woods, he nodded to Maaras that is was time. "You will stay out of sight until you feel it time to intervene, however I'm sure you can judge on how quickly to do such." He said as he took his leave and went out into the woods to where he had arranged to meet with Araine. When he arrived she was looking at her nails like she was a prissy thing however he knew she wasn't. She was a mage who wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty.

Maraas nodded, willing to keep out of sight as told. She moved back as Fenris went into the woods, her eyes following the location. She didn't go until he was a good distance and then she followed. She kept back into the trees, watching him approach the girl. Her eyes narrowed as she waited patiently for the right time to strike.

She looked up when she finally noticed he was there and smiled at him. "Greetings Fenny... I'm happy you see things my way. I had a feeling you were going to be more trouble but it seems I was wrong on that." She said with a light look at him, folding her hands in a cute manner in front of her. "Your a bit wrong on that front there. I do not see things as you do. However I do see how you view things I don't agree into violating others to the point that you feel they should cave to your wants." She stood up, her smile still present," So you want to fight again? I will win." He smiled at her this time. "That is another place where you are wrong...I will win and in my noble blood I'm sure I can find it in me to judge you appropriately." Her smile was faltering at how confident he was, she didn't understand it seemed." I think I should fill you in Araine. I am a Mageister-The Makers' Hammer of the Tevinter Imperium, You can't honestly beat me." her face went slack before she yelled at him," You filthy blood mage!" he chuckled at her," I am no malificarum, I can assure you. Some form Tevinter aren't'. Now I'm sure you are well aquatinted with my friend Maaras?" He asked her out of pure curiosity.

Maraas heard herself mentioned and knew the boy was not going for subtlety. She stepped out, keeping an eye on Ariane though she gave a nod to Fenris. "My friend was slighted by you. I do not approve. You are to understand your error and remember your place." She said not sparing space or time to approach Ariane. "Fenris, is there anything else you wish to add before we get started?" She asked, her body tensing as she reading to kick the girls ass.

As soon as the Qunari stepped out of the tree line she drew her silvery staff form behind her, it was slim and small like her but it had a blue stone at its top marking it as Dalish crafting, powerful crafting. "You would dare threaten me malificarum?! And a Qunari- who would have thought of such a control over one with blood magic?!" Fenris burst out laughing at her accusations," I find it hard to call me such when I know no Blood magic. Maaras- if she tries to cast a spell- I'll ward it and counter her magic for you." He explained to her an almost sadistic smile on his lips like he was going to enjoy this, and he was.
Araine stood battle ready, her staff at the ready and a stern look on her face. As soon as her lips began to move in a spell Fenris countered it with a refection spell- sending it back at her. She dodged it quickly with an almost bewildered look," You would dare attack an apprentice keeper?!" Fenris cocked his head to the side," I am not attacking you- I'm only using defense magic..." He stated as thought it were so obvious it was elementary. She growled at him before her attention was turned back to the Qunari. ((You can roll play her if you like. It will help with the fight. ))

Maraas came at Ariane, not wasting time to give the mage the ability to strategize. Though Maraas had never dealt with magic in a fight, she would make sure she took care of this. She nodded in thanks to Fenris's course of action and instantly drew her blade at the little mage. She dodged Fenris's knock back but she was just as quick to avoid Maraa's grab. Ariane though didn't count on the handle of the axe hitting her in the back, sending the girl rolling. She popped back up however, dust on her front and her staff not exactly pristine clean any longer. She cast another spell, this one containing a green, natural aura that was probably meant to hamper Maraas. The qunari however came at her, meeting staff with axe. Ariane brought the staff across Maraas's face, the hard crack of the hit making her go to hit her again. However when she raised the staff to strike again, Maraas caught her wrist, flipping her round painfully. "Giving up yet?" Maraas asked seriously, but Ariane responded with a solid hit from a force spell that knocked Maraas back a good foot or two. Maraas shook the dust off her and gave Ariane a glare, now getting pissed. ((You can write some fighty cool stuff too lol))

((Alright))
Araine watched as she came at her again, her dress dirty- that's what honestly pissed her off more then being attacked. She let out a screech and sent a few spells at the large woman who was still coming at her. However Fenris made sure to deflect all of them for her- which only made for more difficult battle issues. She blocked a heavy blow from its' ax with her staff and shoved her off- rolling out of the way of yet another bow- her opponent not really giving her much time to recover. She however Did a spell she knew he couldn't counter- a force spell because she used it on him and got away with it- however Fenris saw what she was doing. He shouted the spell faster then she could- it sounding like gibberish and she suddenly was smacked hard into the ground- the dirt about a good area- just in front of Maaras's feet was indented a good 5 inches. However Araine didn't stand up, she looked pissed and in a lot of pain, her mouth bleeding a bit in the corner. "Filthy filthy filthy..." She said before she spat at them. Fenris glared at her- she however passed out in a few moments.

When Fenris ended up practically crushing Ariane, Maraas breathed out a sigh when the witch passed out. She rubbed her jaw where the girl had gotten her once quite hard. It hurt but it wasn't something she wasn't used to. She pulled away from the girl and looked to Fenris. "You weren't kidding. Nasty piece of work." She said, giving the girl a slight glare.

He nodded knowing what she meant. "I told you she wasn't one to be persuaded with words. Come, we need to leave- I'm sure some one will be alone soon and charge us in justly for protecting our selves." He said as he put his staff away with a heavy sigh. He felt bad for leaving her like that but she left him just the same way. They walked away from the rest of them towards the westward way. He liked the elves well enough but not if that was the only reception he can expect. ---------- Luka was more then happy to see a group in the road resting easily however when she saw they were elves she actually smiled. "Its them- let go see if he is still there." She said sounding excited. She road up, a few elves looking startled but she didn't really care- she found the one she had spoken to before and greeted him with a smile. "Greetings Elder, I came looking for my charge. I know he was here with you. Your short two mages now. We had found evidence of a struggle a bit back. We needed to speak to you about." The elf stood up and looked at her and her Templar partner. He had indeed spoken to them before and noticed that the two mages he had allowed to come were missing, as well as the large Qunari- his daughter as well. "Greetings human. Yes I did notice their absence however My daughter has been looking into it- she in fact went for a walk with the mage- however the large one disappeared soon after. It worries me." he said his brows furrowed that he might have made a mistake in taking them with him. "What kind of struggle?" He finally asked wondering what had happened that his daughter hadn't told him about.

Maraas followed, glad to see the mage girl getting what she deserved. However by Fenris's sigh, she wondered if all this really did take a toll on him. He had come to the Dalish trusting them, and here he was, yet again with his hope crushed. It was sad really and she wondered if there was something perhaps she could do to ease some of that. ~~~ Cadan dismounted with luka when they reached the large group of elves, but instantly he felt like they were the black sheep within a pack of wolves. Him being in Chantry armor already stirred the elves up, some actually grabbing their bows and daggers like he was there to harm one of them. Luka got a slightly better out look, only because she was a woman. When speaking with the elder, they came to find infact he was innocent to a lot of what was going on. This daughter of his possibly being another victim to the violence that seemed to follow them. IT worried Cadan a bit that she hadn't returned apparently after looking for the mage... When asked about the struggle Cadan spoke frankly. "A fight between mages broke out quite a ways south of here. You're party was the first tracks we followed. There was one mage dead I'm afraid, the others well apparently followed." He said before he spoke again. "Do you happen to know which way your daughter went? Perhaps even the mage she was looking for, the one with the Qunari?"

The elf looked at Cadan with a serious expression," Are you saying that mage and the Qunari with him killed some one else?" he asked bluntly and very seriously wanting to know the truth. "No, the mage with the Qunari did not kill the other mage- a malificarum did. We will track them next. However my priority is to finding my charge." The elder mage turned to look at Luka as she spoke and nodded," They went that way, about an hour ago." He stated, Luka nodded and went that way- not even bothering to say good bye.
After trooping threw the woods they came onto a clearing with a rather large crater I it with an elf in it. She was stirring and looked like she was sore. "Hello again-what happened here?"Luka said almost in a chipper voice since she assumed this girl had wronged Fenris or he wouldn't have lashed out on her in such a manner. "That malificarum! he and his pet attacked me?!" She said her voice sounding like she was pouting. That however made Luka giggle that eventually erupted into a mountain of laughter." You- You think Fenris- The maker's hammer- By the way Cadan- this is why he ahs that nick name. You think he would attack you with out cause? I don't think so- you don't know how Teveinter mages work sweetie." The pretty elf glared up at her but turned her eyes to the Templar," An apostate attacked a member of the Dalish clans- do your duty and kill it." Luka snickered," Oh no, he is already called for- and labeled- he isn't a blood mage nor is he an apostate- however it takes one to be one- huh.."

Cadan was surprised to see a familiar face in that crater, the one that had shocked him quite a bit. Seems this mage was quite powerful after all...how the elf girl survived shocked him enough. She of course was pissed however, arguing with Luka who seemed acutely annoyed with the girl. Cadan was too at the fact she blatantly lied to them and then upset the mage enough to make him attack then run off. He however felt uncomfortable when the girl looked to him and asked for him to kill Fenris. He however gave Luka a nod at her answer. He moved to Ariane, helping the girl to atleast get off her face. They needed to get her back to her people before she got hurt. He wasn't too happy with the girl but he wasn't heartless. "I'm not worried about any other apostates at the moment except for one...and I don't have jurisdiction over the Dalish...its a messy grey area. Now if your willing to be honest tell us do you know where the boy went?" He said, trying to play the card that he was 'after' Fenris to make sure he got information from the upset girl. Luka might get mad with him, but he needed answers since they were so close...

Luka watched him help the girl up and she rolled her eyes, she was wanting to leave her there. However she assumed it was his white knight complex most men had with pretty girls. Araine looked him over looking over his kindened expression before putting on a stern look. "You might not have jurisdiction over the dalish but I am a leader of the Dalish...How that brat beat me is insulting to team up on me with his brutish pet..."She looked at Cadan hard for a minute thinking his words over but not really caring for them. She stood up and shoved off his helping hand more or less," They were standing above me mocking me before I passed out- I can't help you." She stated dryly before she started limping back to her own camp. --------- Fenris and Maaras made good time west since it was down hill more or less however they ere nearing a place called loathring which was off limits by the signs about with writings of Dark spawn there. They camped off the road in a cave of sorts to figure out exactly what to go about this. They could try to pass threw however that could be dangerous as anything else.

Cadan blinked at the girl's snippy behavior and let her limp off without much expression. When she was a good distance, he stood looking to Luka with a raised brow. "Well I see now why your boy laid her flat." He said, looking back at the girl before shaking his head. "So We know he isn't heading north or east where your Dalish are headed. That leaves West to Redcliffe or South to the Wilds." He said though neither sounded hospitable. His family was just outside of Redcliffe, a few people he didn't want to see after recent events and Lothering was on the way south. A place that was decimated and crawling with darkspawn. ~~~ Maraas was happy to be out of the forest, but not when she got a chill from the air as they approached an abandoned area. The land looked scarred from battle, farm houses burned away and signs of life completely exstinguished. It looked like whatever happened here took this area down with it, and possibly all the people involved. She saw the sign that read in the language she couldn't understand, but she did understand one thing, it said 'danger' and 'darkspawn'. From their place of rest, she could see the outline of the town in the distance, its silouhette looking ominous in the night. "I don't like the feel of this place..." She told Fenris, not sure he felt this place was just...wrong too.
