Tamras turned to see the Dread Wolf himself standing in front of them, in his full glory. Tamras stared for a few seconds, before storming forward. "Why after all these years do you call us back? Do you have any idea of the damage you've done?" He shouted, getting dangerously close to Fen'Harel. The God stared at Tamras, little emotion on his face, before walking past him, carefully avoiding bumping into him.

"I do," He said, sadness in his voice. "I'm fully aware of what it cost to drag you away from your families, but it must be done." He looked at Amaris and Tamras, examining their movements carefully. "That is not the point. The time of restoring what we lost, all those years ago, has come."

Tamras stood, trying to take in all that information. "You mean─"
"Yes. This world is going to die."

[ShadowHunteress]

Amaris watched him, "What do you mean?"she asked softly, "You are going to destroy the world to restore what?" she asked, feeling slightly out of the loop. As an elf raised in Tevinter, she hadn't learned much about their history, all she knew was what she had managed to learn while she was here.

The Dread Wolf turned and studied her a moment, looking at the markings on her face, "To restore elves, the magic we all possessed and the knowledge we all had. We were not always slaves to the humans." he said, although he didn't add they had been slaves to eachother.

Amaris nodded, "Oh." she said softly, she couldn't imagine that, but it sounded like a good world. She wasn't a fan of the humans, after all they had done. She looked at Tamras, he seemed fairly happy with that as well.

[mandalorian]

Tamras felt like he needed to sit down. His mouth was gaping open, and his eyebrows were furrowed in confusion until he put two and two together. All signs of positive emotions were wiped off his face. Not only was he overwhelmed, he just learned that his world was going to be destroyed ─ along with everyone on it. His eyes flooded with tears and he stared at the ground, afraid to make eye contact with his Elven god he refused to let down. "You can't," He said, "You can't! There are innocent people here, who didn't enslave humans! We can't get mad at humans for something they did years ago!" His face was red with anger and shock.

"You don't understand, Tamras. The humans are a necessary sacrifice in claiming what was once ours─"
"Claiming what? A world that has been destroyed? Knowledge that's been lost? We're happy like this, you can't just come in here after all these years and claim you're going to make everything better ─ not you!"

[ShadowHunteress]

Amaris watched, "It's not years ago Tamras." she said softly as she looked at him, "You have never been a slave have you?" she asked as she shook her head. "The world will be better off without them, even if some are goof, most aren't." she told him. She crossed her arms lightly over her chest, "How is this even going to happen?" she asked as she looked at the old god.

"These things will be revealed in time." he said, before he looked at them, his eyes landed on Tamras, "Sacrifices will have to be made for the greater good." he said as he looked at them both.

[mandalorian]

"I won't let you do this. No one will. Someone will stop you, you must know that. Me, the Inquisitor, Cassandra or ─ I don't know, somebody! Hawke will, for crying out loud!" Tamras shouted, before Solas shook his head gently.

"You do not understand, child. Your soul is strong and stubborn." He spoke softly, and took strides forward. "Not all people on this planet are bad. My time in the Inquisition taught me that ─ people, though not most, have their hearts in the right place. But ultimately, elves are far more important than humans. Our culture, knowledge, magic, it must be restored in order for us elves to continue─"

"─But does it?" Tamras stared, his gaze stone. He looked at Amaris. "I can't believe you're agreeing with this. I know you're from Tevinter, but not everybody there is bad! Some people actually want it to change ─ I would know!" He looked desperately between them. "We have to think about this rationally. For one second, please!"

[ShadowHunteress]

Amaris listened, she shook her head as she looked at Tamras, "They can try, but they will never win, and they still own slaves." she told him softly, "You don't know what it's like over there, what..." she shook her head and swallowed hard. "I am safe here, and if I need to go along with this to have a home, I will." she told him."I know there are some good people. but there are so many more, the ones who call us knife ear, who think we are lower then them." she told him, "They can't even accept eachother, with all their wars Tamras." she said as she looked at him, "Why do you think humans deserved to be saved? After everything they've done to us, and eachother?" she questioned him.

[mandalorian]

Tamras sighed, "What I told you in the forest was only partially true. I used to be a Dalish elf." He ran his hand over the marking on his eye, and saw Solas disapprove slightly. He continued. "As time went on, I couldn't stand being next in line for Keeper. My clan hated humans, just as you two. They thought that one day we'd take back everything that was ours and start anew." He shook his head. "I came across a boy one day while looking for herbs to mix. He wasn't... He wasn't evil like they all say, he was the opposite. Something about him made me feel safe, and when he asked me why I didn't kill him on sight, I told him how I felt, how much I hate my clan life, and he asked me, why don't you just leave?" He laughed a little bit. "Honestly, I was offended. Leave my clan? How dare this Shem say that? But he was right. Nothing was holding me back, I could just... Leave, if I didn't like it. He offered to take me in, and I agreed. He said it would be dangerous because, well, he was from Tevinter. But he was leaving with mages to join the Inquisition shortly, so I stayed undercover until it was time to leave. I was with him ever since, and I fell in love." His smile faded. "He showed me that humans weren't all selfish. He could've just left me in that forest, told me to get over not liking my clan. But instead, he offered to help... Help someone he didn't even know. And I left him, just to join this stupid adventure of yours." His eyebrows furrowed. "You don't know all humans. You are not wrong when you say they care only about themselves, but who doesn't? Who says that the elves aren't selfish either ─ here we are, willing to kill an entire world just to restore our own! That's selfish, wouldn't you say?"

[ShadowHunteress]

Amaris listened to him, her frown growing when he mentioned Tevinter, she watched him, "Do you think this will change anything? If we just go back to the humans? You will still be hated for being a mage and an elf." she told him, "They will keep taking everything from us." she said, "Isn't it our turn to be selfish? To take back what we have had stolen after all these years?" she asked as she looked at him. "I came here for better things, and yet it was barely any better, I wasn't a slave, but I wasn't treated like a person either." she told him. "You fell in love, and losing him is the only reason you hate this isn't it?" she asked as she looked at him, "Is one good person worth most of us suffering?"

[mandalorian]

Tamras shook his head, seeing that he was getting no where. “No. The point is, is that I thought the exact same thing... And got proved wrong. There cannot be only one good human out there, and it’s cruel to think so.” He crossed his arms, before letting out a sigh. “I’ll follow you for now, Fen’Harel. If this... world of yours, is truly magnificent, maybe it might be worth it.”

Solas only smiled, before walking past them. “Come now. I’ll address all those who’ve gathered and tell them of my plans, so that you two are not the only ones with knowledge.”

[ShadowHunteress]

Amaris looked at Tamras and watched him a moment before the Dread Wolf spoke again. She nodded and headed down the stairs the way they had come once more. Truth be told, she was a little conflicted, but as she said, this was the closest thing she had ever had to a home, and she didn't want to lose that. She also didn't want to incur the wrath of a god, that just wasn't a smart idea. So she would go along with it and see what happened, maybe she ould talk to Tamras more in private.
