LET NO SOUL HUNGER FOR JUSTICE: SONG FOR THE SOUL

[fleurdesel]

WHO: Anders, Bethany, Nathaniel, Leliana, Kallian, Sina, Beleth
WHAT: The First Ritual
WHEN: 1st of Bloomingtide (May 1st)
WHERE: half an hour outside Skyhold
NOTES: plotting thread.

The clearing is not all that far from Skyhold- only half an hour's ride. They don't anticipate anything going wrong in this particular ritual but familiarity with the location and a fear that something might go wrong in the future is more than enough to give it a solid once over before they begin. On it's own the ritual is absurd- but there'd been notes enough to make it seem, if not entirely credible, worth a shot. After all it will work or it will not.

Won't it?

RITUAL PREPARATION & RECRUITMENT

[fleurdesel]

[ Either by note, a discreet call on the sending crystals, or a personal visit from any of the three involved in tending to the ritual; Leliana, Kallian, Sina, and Beleth are gathered.

The ride out is easy, no weather nor strangeness impeding their travel. It's a good sign, right? Right.

Once at the clearing Adelaide begins working on the necessary precautions, a circular barrier for Anders and Justice to stand inside- skins of water, copies of the song for everyone's reference. Everything seems in order. ]

THE RITUAL

[fleurdesel]

[ It's a simple enough song, a steady harmony in old Tevene- or close to it as far as they've been able to figure. ]

'Fecit, docebit nos
Andraste, dirige nos
Fecit, docebit nos

In carne relinquere laboravi
Nunc autem requiem vultus tui
Tempus nunc est unmesh
Non opus est timere

Fecit, docebit vos
Andraste, docebit vos
Fecit, docebit vos

Factum est autem nunc per velamen,
Revertere ad locum tuum
ubi non tam fragili
non necesse habetis, ut non veniemus

Olim in te amplius
Post hoc somnium post euigilans
A semet autem eorum
Ite et vos in qua non definitur

Hardcover, evolvatur, fac,
Nec ossa, nec sanguinem, nec os illius
Voluntatem tuam vitam, dicamus

Fecit, docebit nos
Andraste, dirige nos
Fecit, docebit nos'

[ There is absolutely no reason it shouldn't work. Aside from being absurd. ]

AFTER THE RITUAL

[fleurdesel]

[ Well, that went just as planned.



Didn't it? ]
