[thearchmageisdead-novel]

Welcome!

Welcome to the official tumblr page of "The Archmage is Dead." "The Archmage is Dead," is a novel that I'm working on.

What if you suddenly became the face of hope? For ten young mages that dream just became a reality, albeit due to bloody circumstances. The Kingdom of Origin has lost the Archmage, losing the cabinet that worked alongside him as well. Our main characters have been chosen to fill these roles, but they’re not as excited as they should be.

Join as this unlikely assortment of mages take on discrimination, politics, relationships, cults, and demonic entities😁

From Earth to Sky - Chapter 5

--

Happy Friday! I am really excited to post this chapter and that it’s Friday!

This is the first chapter were there will be references to the Red Sky in the Morning story line. I am hoping that I made it teasing enough to spark interest as well as not give any surprise twists away.

I hope you enjoy.

“Lady Pentaghast, may I have a private word?”

Cassandra eyed the Orlesian lord in front of her with distaste. “No.” The lord gawked at her, and she arched a brow. “You were hoping for a different word?”

“I…” the lord stammered, Cassandra walked away from him. She was tired of the propositions that her family name and title always seemed to come from the nobles she encountered.

She could have left the Winter Palace when Kiaya did after they had stopped the assassination, but Cassandra had volunteered to stay. Their plan of having two Inquisitors was working well; Evelyn was filling the role perfectly. Everyone wanted a dance or a word with the Inquisition’s hero. Any threat to Evelyn was low, but Cassandra wouldn’t feel comfortable until both women were safely away from this viper pit.

Cassandra made her way out to the gardens. Varric was holding court, basking in the attention of a large audience as he recounted the adventures of the Inquisitor, somewhat embellished. Cassandra stayed hidden behind a wall of ivy to watch and listen to his warm, rolling voice.

“With a roar, The Iron Bull slew the rage demon, and the Herald closed the rift with a thunderous clap of power. We had saved the villagers of New Crestwood and allowing the rebuilding of the old village to commence.” Varric ended with a flourish and bowed to the applause from the crowd around him. Cassandra barely caught herself before she joined in and stuffed her hands in her pockets.

Varric graciously declined the calls for another tale, and the group started to break up, with a few hangers-on.

“So, tell us Master Tethras, is the lovely Inquisitor spoken for?” The lord’s question had Cassandra rolling her eyes. It was a popular question tonight.

“My Lord, you are not the first to wonder that.” Varric was smooth as silk, and it brought a smile to Cassandra’s face.

“And what of your heart, Master Dwarf?” A lady purred, brushing her hand across Varric’s neck in a way that made Cassandra bristle.

Varric smoothly ducked away from her, bowing as he answered.

“It is indeed, my lady, and the rest belongs to my writing. Now, if you will excuse me, I am simply parched.” Varric quickly slipped away and masterfully vanished into the thinning crowd. Cassandra froze, trying to track where he had gone, only to jump when he spoke from behind her.

“I thought they would never let me stop. Can we get out of here? I am about tapped out of civility.”

“But, you manage it so well.” Cassandra was hoping the shadows were enough to hide the colour of her face.

“Even I have my limit, and I am standing on that line,” Varric said.

Cassandra was quick to agree. “Let’s go and find Josephine. This thing must be winding down soon.”

“This is Orlais. I wouldn’t count on it.”

—

Varric hadn’t been able to sleep after leaving the Winter Place. A storm was rattling the windows, and the fizzy drinks the Orlesians had plied him with was making the room was spin. The common room was warm from the fire, and Varric was ignoring the writing he had brought with him.

His job at the ball had been relatively easy, distract and entertain, and drum up support for the Inquisition. He usually would enjoy those things, but worry had proven too distracting. Varric shifted in his chair. Watching the Seeker run into danger without him had burned in Varric’s chest each time.

“I see you couldn’t sleep either.”

Varric turned to see Cassandra standing in the doorway. She was dressed for sleep in a loose shirt and trousers. Her hair was mussed, her braid hung down her shoulder. She was breathtaking. “I- No. Too many windows in this place, they rattle in the wind.” Varric swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry.

Cassandra nodded, and a flash of hesitation crossed her face before it disappeared. “Would you mind if I joined you?”

“Yes, I mean, no.” Varric sighed, “I would love for you to join me.”

He silently cursed his awkwardness, shifting to hide his embarrassment. Instead of sitting in the chair opposite him, Cassandra settled on the floor at his feet. She leaned forward, hugging her knees before stretching her legs out in front of the fire with a small groan.

“Are you alright?” Varric asked, his voice slightly rougher then he would like.

“Yes, just a little sore. Fighting and standing in those fancy boots were not comfortable.” Cassandra stretched her back, and Varric didn’t know where to look, “and I am drained and a little worried. It was a long night.” She was rubbing her neck, her fingers reaching down her shoulder blade, and without any thought, Varric was reaching forward to rub his knuckles along her spine.

They both stilled for a moment, Varric froze in shock at the brazenness of his hands, but Cassandra hummed quietly and then pressed herself back into his knuckles. His hands began to massage her back, without needing much input from him and Varric floundered for something to say. “What are you worried about?”

Cassandra made a noise of pleasure when his fingers found a knot, and the sound made Varric’s blood hum in his ears. He was suddenly very grateful the woman was facing away from him. It took him a moment to focus on her answer.

“Kiaya.” Cassandra sighed. “She had more control over the mark then she told us. It was disturbing to watch her use it against our enemies, not only with how deadly it was but also because of the toll it took on her.”

Varric concentrated on breathing slowly through his nose for a moment, which meant he could smell her hair, which was now very near his face. Varric swallowed thickly before answering. “Smudges has a good head on her shoulders. She is unlikely to abuse the mark's power, and it sounds like its no easy to choose using it. Maybe it was a reaction. She’s done that before with her magic.”

Varric was proud of his coherent answer when he was feeling anything but. Lavender and steel floated through his senses. He leaned back to try and clear his head, but that only succeeded in bringing his hands up to her neck and onto bare skin. Varric groaned inwardly; he was done fighting. The heat of her skin against his fingertips was intoxicating, and he leaned forward again, bending lower than before.

“Why did you stay? At the ball? After everything was done?” He asked quietly. He felt her shiver under his hands, reacting to his breathe against her neck and ear.

She swallowed a few times before answering. “I wanted to stay.” Her voice shook, “with -“

The door banged open, and the whirlwind that was Sera and Lyra burst into the room. Both were very drunk and headed straight for the bottles in the cabinet on the far wall, but Blackwall, who entered behind them, seemed less so.

Varric had snatched his hands back, and Cassandra was on her feet and out the door before the girls noticed. Varric wasn’t standing up any time soon, so he picked up his papers again and glared at Blackwall as he sat down opposite Varric. The two girls, more drinks in hand, flopped down in front of the fire.

“Wait,” Lyra looked hazily around the room, “wasn’t there someone else here?”

Blackwell coughed, a poorly disguised laugh, and Varric answered quickly. “You’re drunk, Chimes. Must be seeing things.”

Lyra pouted. “I’m not that drunk.”

“Ooooh, let's get so drunk we see things!” Sera exclaimed and immediately swallowed half the contents of the bottle in her hand. The two dissolved into laughter.

Varric shook his head and shot Blackwell a dirty look. “If you’re encouraging this, you’re cleaning up after them.”

Blackwell did laugh this time. “What kind of man do you think I am?”

Varric glared at him. “At the moment, I think you’re a smug bastard.”

—

They were close to the Shrine of Dumat. The camp was tense this evening, quiet. Everyone could feel the hum of the red lyrium on the night air. Cassandra knew that tomorrow’s battle would possibly be the worse they had seen. It wasn’t a pleasant thought.

“Hey.” Kiaya settled on the ground next to Cassandra. Kiaya was wrapped in a blanket, her boots untied. “Not sleeping?”

“I haven’t tried yet.” Cassandra shrugged. “It’s too hot.”

“And Dorian says it’s not hot enough,” Kiaya said. “Could be worse, could be the Mire.”

“True.” Cassandra looked up at the canvas of stars shining overhead. “How is Cullen handling things?”

“Better then I feared but not great. He’s asleep for now.” Kiaya sighed. ”I am worried that I made the wrong choice of letting him come with us.”

“It means a lot to Cullen to be here. I don’t think you have made a mistake.” Cassandra answered and studied the woman beside her. Kiaya looked tired and worried, but underneath there was a peace and happiness that Casandra hadn’t seen before. “It’s good to see you both happy together. Present circumstances notwithstanding.”

Kiaya smiled softly. “It’s strange, for the longest time, I believed that I was meant to be alone. But now I feel like I have a home.” Kiaya smile turned to a grin, “and I found it in the middle of this mess.”

“How did you know it not because of this mess?” Cassandra asked. She expanded at Kiaya’s questioning look.

Kiaya chuckled. “I didn’t, still don’t. But resisting my feelings wasn’t making anything easier. And maybe it’s selfish wanting Cullen as much as I do while I suspect my days are numbered but facing Corypheus feels less daunting with Cullen to go home to.” Kiaya bumped her shoulder against Cassandra’s. “So, is it really worth denying your feelings for Varric when none of us know how many tomorrows we have?”

Cassandra sighed, looking in the direction of the Shrine. “You make it sound easy.”

“I know that it’s not that simple. Nothing is, but Varric makes you happy, doesn’t he? Is the possibility of future pain really worth not being happy now? But you are right as well. It is both a gift and a curse. Being with Cullen makes facing what I have to do easier, but I regret not listening to my heart sooner, so we could have more time, and I regret what it will do to him if I die.” Kiaya stopped talking an cocked her head. “I’m not helping anymore, am I?”  

Cassandra snorted. “I’m not sure, although I appreciate the intention.”

“Well then, I will call that a win. I just want to see you two happy.” Kiaya squeezed Cassandra's shoulder and started to get up. Cass raised her arm to help her automatically to help her, it was never a smooth transition for Kiaya. “Thanks. I am going to try and sleep again, and you should too, Cass.”

Cassandra nodded, although she didn’t move to get up. “I will. Soon.”

“Sounds good!” says Josey. “We can absolutely do all of those things. I think you’re right, settling in first is a good idea. We can put your stuff down. I can point some things out on the way, and then we can go around and meet people. If you’re still up for it, that is.”

“Will I not be?”

He smiles comfortingly. Somehow, there’s still power behind even that sort of smile. “It can be a little overwhelming. If you wanted to take a nap, or spend time alone, nobody would blame you. But you don’t have to decide now. Let’s go, I’ll show you to your cabin.”

Your suitcase is still heavy, but now you have a friend to help you. Josey hoists it up as though it weighs nothing, and she begins to lead you down a small hill towards a flat, nearly treeless area. It houses a number of buildings both large and small, as well as a fenced-in swimming pool, a climbing wall, and a large, open field. As you pass through the field, Josey points things out, one by one. “The dining hall is the largest building on camp... next to it is the camp office... back behind it, that’s Lady Blackwell’s personal cabin. There’s the staff house all the way down there... the one nearby is the arts and crafts building... don’t worry, Dakota, I’ll give you a map when you turn in the rest of your paperwork.”

Your slightly overwhelmed expression must have shown. Oops. Maybe they were right. A clap on your back makes you start, and you turn to see Adora. You barely noticed her following behind you. Her smile is warm and friendly. “And don’t worry, I’ll help you out, Dakota.”

“Thanks!” you say with a tiny grin. She’s cute! Goddammit! 

Josey leads the two of you out of the large clearing and into the woods proper, following a trail. You stumble once or twice on protruding roots. Man, is it a good thing you’re not carrying that heavy suitcase. At last, the trees thin somewhat, revealing five cabins. 

Josey points to them, naming each. “Cassiopeia. Libra. Sagitta. Lyra. Crux. You’ll both be in Cassiopeia... it’s the closest to the path, so it’s easy to remember. Got it?”

“Got it!” says Adora, seemingly unaware that considering she’s been here for thirteen years, Josey wasn’t probably talking to her. 

You take a step forward, but something stops you in your tracks. Something is looking at you. Your blood runs cold... is this the ghost they talked about?... as you turn to face it.

That’s... probably... not a ghost? “Uh, is that a cat?” you ask.

Adora and Josey glance over. “Yeah!” says Adora. “That’s just Mallow.”

“Mallow?”

“Lady Blackwell’s cat. Beacon named her,” Josey explains. “She roams around. She’s harmless. We think.”

“You think?”

“Well,” says Adora, “we never see her hurt anyone, not a camper or staff or anyone, but she’s an outdoor cat and you think a coyote or something would have killed her by now if she was as sweet as she seems.”

“Ah,” you say. Mallow looks right at you, green eyes taking you in with an interest atypical of kitties.

“You’ll learn to love her. Everyone does,” Josey says as they hoist your suitcase up on one arm. You almost gasp at the feat of strength, cat half-forgotten as they open the door into a large room with ten bunk beds. You follow them in, as does Adora. “This is where the kids sleep. That door back there leads to the counselor room. There’s four staff members in each cabin. Let’s get you settled back there.” He leads you over, opening the door into a much smaller room. There’s four beds there, as promised. Three are messy... a single twin, and then what looks like two more twin beds pressed together. Hey! Where’s the fourth person going to sleep?

From the sound you hear between the beds, the answer seems like “on the floor.” The sound of snoring, light and almost comically typical, comes from the ground, and a glance shows a sleeping girl with messy brown hair and dark skin, half-wrapped in a blanket. Josey and Adora seem to suppress laughter.

It’s 0008. What are you going to do?

Thanks for following AUL! If you like us, don’t forget to support the story by liking, reblogging, and inputting. The story can’t progress without all of you!

Eye color: Incredibly dark, so brown it’s almost black. You can’t see her pupil. Her eyes are always framed by thick lines of kohl which make her big eyes seem even bigger.

Hair: Lyra has long hair, it falls down to her mid-back in a straight line . It’ s quite shiny and thick, the color as black as her eyes. She usually keeps it down, but sometimes it will be pinned up with her vast collection of jeweled clips and barrettes.

 Height: Lyra is also known to be quite short, as it runs in her blood since she’s a direct descendant from one of the founding dark-elves. A title that she never lets anybody forget. 

Skin Color: Pale skin, as dark elves tend to enjoy night and shadows. Think of her as Cinderella, skin as white as snow. She doesn’t look sickly, but she definitely doesn’t have that much pigment. Lyra is also slim, but she has a very... attractive physique. 

A little about her: Lyra is known to be very snobby. She’ s very opinionated and doesn’t appreciate it when things don’t go her way. She’s a complete trust-fund kid as she’s brethren of Viktor Blackwell, one of the most famous Dark Elves of all time. She’s the representative in the Council for Dark elves and she has a very strong voice in the crowd. Lyra is known for her style and she’s quite nosy, but she gets the job done. Cyril and Lyra have an ongoing rivalry.

Work-in-progress Wednesday

I have been slow on answering some tags of late, (by @pikapeppa @lechatrouge673 & @kemvee most recently) and probably a few farther away than that. So I am going to double up since I have been on a writing tear for the last few days and have made progress on both of my stories. (Note, they are unedited so please forgive the errors)

Here is some ansty fluff from Red Sky in the Morning (AO3) or here on Tumblr

Kiaya’s steps were heavy as she made her way back to her tent. She had just seen Hawke’s party off. They were departing early to sneak into Adamant through a back way, while the army assaulted the gate. Kiaya was deep in emotional overload. The wall she had built in her head to keep her numb and functioning was starting to fail, of course, at the worst possible time.

The sight of Cullen sitting next to the fire outside her tent brought her to a stop. Just looking at him was a comfort, even with all the unspoken things between them. His eyes were closed, head nodding forward, and Kiaya took a moment to watch him. Her Papa’s voice drifted across her memory.

Don’t be fooled by tales, real love is both a blessing and a curse. Real love is hard, it is work. It causes pain and heartache and it will bring you joy like you have never dreamed. If it is real, you have to fight for it, and it’s worth every moment.

Kiaya finally understood what he had meant. Love had been elusive for her before now. Her few relationships had been brief, physical, convenient things, that all ended with a whimper or a bang. For the first time, she found herself desperate to stay with someone and offer them everything she had to give, the good and the bad.

“Cullen, you shouldn’t sleep like that,” Kiaya said gently, and placed her hand on Cullen’s shoulder.

“I’m not sleeping,” he replied, lifting his head and blinking at her.

“Of course not, you were just checking your eyelids for holes.” Kiaya smiled, brushing a curl back from his forehead. “Are you here officially?” Kiaya waited only long enough for him to shake his head. “Can we forget everything else for now and just go to bed.” Cullen blinked again and nodded.

Kiaya led the way into her tent.

😁  And now from the yet unpublished From Earth to Sky a Varric and Cassandra love story, a little steam.

---

They both stilled for a moment, Varric froze in shock at the brazenness of his hands, but Cassandra hummed quietly and then pressed herself into him. His hands began to massage her back, without much input from him. Her actions were direct, but there were so many questions that Varric’s fumbling mind grasped on the first thing he could.

“What are you worried about?”

Cassandra made a noise of pleasure when his fingers found a knot, and the sound made Varric’s blood surge. He was suddenly very grateful the woman was facing away from him. It took him a moment to focus on her answer.

“Kiaya, not surprising.” Cassandra sighed and Varric gritted his teeth. “She had more control over the mark then she has told us. It was disturbing to watch, not only in how deadly it was but also in the toll it took on her.”

Varric concentrated on breathing slowly through his nose for a moment, forgetting that meant smelling her hair which was now very near his face. Varric swallowed thickly before answering. “Smudges has a good head on her so she is unlikely to abuse it, and the answer to why she hid it might be in how difficult it is to use. Maybe it was a reaction. She’s done that before with her magic.”

Varric was proud of his coherent answer when he was feeling anything but. Lavender and steel floated through his senses. He leaned back to try and clear his head but that only succeeded in bringing his hands up to her neck and onto her skin. Varric groaned inwardly and he was done fighting. The heat of her skin against his fingertips was intoxicating and he leaned forward again, bending lower than before.

“Why did you stay? After everything was done?” He asked quietly. He felt her shiver under his hands and against his legs, reacting to his breathe against her neck and ear.

Her breathing was uneven, and she swallowed a few times before answering. “I wanted to stay. Her voice shook, “wi-“

The door banged open and the whirlwind that was Sera and Lyra burst into the room. Both were too drunk to notice anything and headed straight for the bottles in the cabinet on the far wall, but Blackwall who entered behind them certainly did.

Varric had snatched his hands back to himself like he was burned, and Cassandra was on her feet and out the door before the girls turned around. Varric wasn’t standing any time soon, so he picked up his papers and shifted in his seat, glaring at Blackwall as he took the seat opposite Varric and the others flopped down in front of the fire.

“Wait,” Lyra looked hazily around the room, “wasn’t there someone else here?”

Blackwell coughed, a poorly disguised laugh, and Varric answered before he could say anything. “You’re drunk Chimes. Must be seeing things.”

Lyra pouted. “I’m not that drunk yet.”

“Ooooh, lets,” Sera exclaimed and immediately swallowed half the contents of the bottle in her hand. The two dissolved into laughter and drinking.

Varric shook his head and shot Blackwell a dirty look. “If you’re encouraging this, you’re cleaning up after them.”

Blackwell did laugh this time. “What kind of man, do you think I am.”

Varric glared at him. “At the moment, I think you’re a smug bastard.”
