Welcome to Gaia! ::

Your hazy surroundings alerted you that, once again, you were in the Fade. Justice leaned against the outer wall of the Hanged Man, and you stomped over to him.

“It was you! You were the one who egged him on! Who made him, who made him—” You were so angry you actually lost the ability to speak. You couldn’t even think through the haze in your mind, or really see anything through a red fog that blurred your vision.

Barely, you noticed Justice shake his head. “No, that was Vengeance.”

“Vengeance?” you repeated the word as if it held some meaning, but couldn’t decipher it at the moment. However, as the haze cleared and thoughts began to normalize, you recognized it. “If it was Vengeance that made him destroy the Chantry, how are you Justice now?”

“Once I was free of Anders, I had time to return to my true nature. The Fade healed me.”

“I managed to convince Anders to give up his plan, but Vengeance stopped me. Vengeance is going to make him do it.” You inhaled sharply, shaking your head. “I don’t know what to do. How can I compete against an apparition that’s on the verge of possessing him entirely?”

Justice’s voice rang clear. “There is a wise woman who can be found atop Sundermount. Go to her and inquire as to the rites of exorcism.”

“Exorcism? You would have me separate you from Anders?”

Justice nodded gravely. “He is too far gone for any other option. This is the only way.”

Your gaze turned downcast as you processed his words and what his request entailed, and you shook your head as realization dawned on you. “But the only known methods of exorcism involve a lot of lyrium and mages or a live sacrifice. I have no access to the former, and no desire towards the latter.”

“That’s why I’m sending you to this wise woman. She may know a different way.”

“Okay…okay…” you took a deep breath, preparing yourself for the trials ahead. “I’ll do it.”

Romancing Anders...I have yet to do that...I think I'd go for Shale before Ander **giggles**

Damn nice short story tho!
