  • (—he remembers the chill of the frost and snow biting at bare skin, its usual pure white now tinged a horrid pink from the blood on his hands. He's far away from them now, the danger and the pain and everything else, but the blood will forever be on his hands no matter how much he tries to wash it away.

    His father had been right all along. He truly was a monster of the greatest kind.)

    QUEST: THE ASHES UNDERNEATH HIS NAILS (PART I)

    The message had come swiftly, the letter itself hastily written with a shaky hand. The request itself was simple; a plea for help from a village at the outskirts of Emprise du Lion, whose people have been mysteriously disappearing over the last few weeks. Considering the ongoing civil unrest that's still transpiring in Orlais the Inquisition made its decision to send out a team of agents to look into this message and see exactly what was going on.

    The eight agents tasked with the mission were given enough time to prepare for the trip ahead. They would all meet up first at the Inquisition camp set within the Emprise and from there travel for about a day until they reached where their destination was - Fromage, a quaint little village that rested at the outskirts of the area.

    From that point on, it was up to the agents of the Inquisition to solve this ongoing mystery. The mission: to discover the truth behind these disappearances - and to stop it, if possible.

    Raylan spent probably longer than he should have squinting at this one paper, but eventually he gave up with a frustrated sigh and moved to the nearest (non shadowy) shelf, looking for anything different.

    Raylan made a noise of interest and flipped one open, reading it carefully. He knew they probably didn't have a lot of time, but he would probably get more out of carefully taking in a piece of the puzzle than trying to skim all of it, probably understanding nothing.

    Raylan glanced at the list again, confirming what he thought, and dread filled the pit of his stomach again. "Someone was studyin' dead bodies," he reports, loud enough so everyone else can hear. "I don't think they died of natural causes, either."

    Hermione had sat herself down by the shelf, trying to make sense of the writing and not liking what she was able to make out. Raylan's confirmation didn't do much to help settle her gorge.

    "I don't know that there would be enough benefit in studying the bodies of those who just happened to have died of unnatural causes," she murmurs. "Something had clearly been done to them while they were still alive, and the deaths had just been... a matter of circumstance."

    Very carefully he's picked up a few shards of red lyrium with some scattered sheets of paper, bringing them over and joining the others at the table.

    "I'll give you three guesses as to what they're experimenting with, and the first two don't... Oh Maker." He's caught sight of the notes now, and they're not good. At all. Not like he expected them to be, with the word 'experimenting' and all of the red lyrium creatures outside, but somehow seeing notes makes it worse.

    As much as Hermione tries not to, she can't help wondering just how it is that, without the benefit of widespread in-depth medical and anatomical knowledge, the person who took these notes seemed to know where all the major organs were. If she were more naive, she would have assumed that the circles simply pointed out places where the victims had experienced pain or visible physical abnormalities, but not only is that not cheerier, but she's not nearly that naive.

    "They're forcing red lyrium on people," she murmurs, remembering all those creatures who seemed to have the bright red rock growing right out of them. "Planting it in them and watching it grow, like some sort of weed."

    Even the Death Eaters hadn't done anything so awful. If one didn't willingly follow along with their ideals, they were merely tortured and/or killed. That seems like a kindness, now.
