#the road to el arlathan

"I heard you were talking sh*t about Cole..."

It was an idea that @sigeel suggested and I HAD TO comply. So here they are, official dad friends on a revenge mission.

Back in his days, you didn't even need staves!

(I'm having too much fun with this, expect more.)

"All right. Here's the plan. In the dead of night, you and I grab some provisions, hijack one of those… one of those carriages… and then, we go back to Arlathan like there's no mañana!"

AU: Cassandra never got them out of prison.

I don't remember how I got the idea but there you have it, this is their dynamic (well, more along the way, past the "Aisling tries to approach Solas uncospicuously, as she would a very skittish horse" phase). The more I think about it, the more this makes sense, Aisling would most definitely ask the help of the horse. And succeed in doing so. Solas probably got the idea of presenting himself as Fen'Harel, her as Herald of Ghilan'nain so they can duet It's Tough to Be a God (...which... is... fitting...)

(I had fun with the screencap redraw for Absolution, thought of redoing it with one of my favourite animated movies.)

"Solas... Did you ever imagine it would end like this?" "... The horse is a surprise-"

Going back to Arlathan like there's no mañana is proving more difficult than Solas thought.

They managed to hikack a boat while being transferred... and I think on the first time on these screens, Little Brother (yes the horse brought them the key to their cell, yes Solas remarked that it's NOT a prybar, he was bitten at the first chance).

You can imagine them both in the Waking Sea or in Lake Calenhad, as it makes you laugh more, Aisling can point on the north but she knows shit about sailing or the precise geography of the lake, so.

"It's all there! The rock… The stream…!" "You kept the map and you couldn't grab a little more food??" "Even those mountains! You said it yourself! It COULD be possible, and it really is the map to El Arlathan!" "You drank sea water, didn't you." "Oh, COME ON!"

They landed in a very tropical Ferelden coast (Decided it was, indeed, Lake Calenhad) full of skeletons very awfully killed. And mabari prints. The debate is whether a forest full of danger and possible packs of wild mabaris and hostile locals following a map they won at Wicked Grace is actually worse than going back to Haven to a very angry Seeker Pentaghast.

Of course they'll go on.

(this is the Solas-est that ever Solas-ed, enjoy this because I peaked in drawing him, that's it. All downhill from now.)

Help I can't stop.

That's the most Aisling that ever Aisling-ed, Welp. Looking at you bright eyed over some whimsical shenanigans. Here in the AU, more specifically "The map said to follow Elfroot, no I'm not sure about it but Elfroot is the best thing EVER, so.".

(problem is that she's often right.)
