WHO: fenris and those brave enough to face him.
WHAT: Angry elf. Nuff said.
WHEN: Backdated to a couple of days after the Anders reveal
WHERE: Anywhere in Skyhold
NOTES: Violent elf prone to outbursts seeks revenge. It's likely to get violent or sweary easily. Probably just as well Anders is out of the fortress...

It had taken him a couple of days to find out. His lack of reading ability had him missing the notice that had been put up, and it was only when he overheard a pair of mages talking about him that he put two and two together - and the news had him mad in an instant.

He never agreed with what Hawke had decreed was Anders' punishment. He was of the opinion that Anders should pay the ultimate price for his sins - for they were many. It was sheer arrogance to think that he would get away with it, scott free, even though he was assured that the Wardens were 'taking care of things'. Like Hawke took care of Anders, and the city burned in the aftermath.

"Abomination, show yourself!" He was furious as he stormed through the courtyard of Skyhold, sword in hand, intent on finding Anders and possibly choking the life out of him. Certainly ripping out his heart would be an option right now. He wanted to see if Justice would keep Anders alive long enough so that it was a satisfying death.

"He's not here, you know."

Is the ever so calm response from Knight Commander James Norrington, who is sitting at his make-shift desk outside, in front of some of the other templar tents. He is, of course, going through his correspondence and reports, so doesn't even glance up. Besides, he recognizes the voice well enough. Fenris, the elf who had been with him and the others at Montemps.

So he feels comfortable addressing the angry, and well armed man now, as he was addressed in that village.

"And while I would like nothing better than to watch you run him through with that sword of yours or do that odd trick with your hand ... you realize that the Inquisition cannot allow you to murder him in cold blood?"

[aggregiopavali]

"Because Anders never murdered anyone," Fenris spat out, wheeling to look at Norrington. "How do you know he isn't here?"

Given the nature of Skyhold, and the way people moved in and out of the fortress, it was likely, but Fenris was seeing red, and sense might take a while to sink in.

[judgemewhole]

"No, that abomination murdered dozens of people directly and hundreds indirectly and if I might be as so bold to pin an entire war on his robe tails, thousands upon thousands. He's a monster who should be slowly roasted over a pit of fire."

Is Norrington's blunt reply, as he puts down the report to give Fenris an even look. "Still doesn't change the fact that the Inquisition doesn't allow for retaliation in their ranks and that Anders, and the rest of the Wardens, headed out yesterday at early light. Some sort of mission."

[aggregiopavali]

"Vishante kaffas!" he spat out, his whole self tense with the knowledge that Anders had been hidden, here, with him close by. How many time had he passed that abomination without him knowing? He had turned away from Norrington, fighting for control once again as he tried to work out the logistics of chasing down Anders and the Warden party, even if he did respect some of those Wardens.

"Stupid policy that the Inquisition has." Roasting him over a pit of fire sounded like a fine solution to everyone's problems.

[judgemewhole]

"Well, I would agree with that ... but it is keeping the mages from setting all the templars on fire, and is keeping my less temperate brothers and sisters from running through the mages and the Seekers, and is keeping the Seekers from slaughtering all of us for being a threat -- so I cannot complain about sharing the blanket of protection else I find myself without it." Norrington sat back with a long sigh.

"At most, I can wait for that bastard to mess up, lose control, and then the Inquisition nor the Wardens will have any right to stop my blade."

[aggregiopavali]

He gave a snort of derision before turning to face Norrington. "You'll have to be fast to get in before me. The abomination doesn't care about anything except his single minded crusade."

[judgemewhole]

"Well, then I suppose we won't have to wait long to scramble to see who gets to kill him first then, will we?" Was Norrington's dry response, as he arched an eyebrow at Fenris, "In the meantime - we need warriors like you, Fenris. Here, taking care of the threats we can kill. Don't get yourself jailed for that ... that thing."

[aggregiopavali]

Fenris gave an angry growl, turning away from Norrington. "Did you see what Kirkwall was like?" he asked. "In the aftermath of what he did?"

[judgemewhole]

"Yes. I did. My people and I were sent in to help clean up the mess of Kirkwall in the aftermath. They needed blood mage hunters -- considering the heavy number of them after the explosion." Norrington's eyes flared, "Beyond that. I am a Free Marcher, born and bred. The chaos that ... person let loose over my country is something I want to pay him back for in kind."

"Killing him will only end in your own demise and that would be both a tragedy and a waste," it took a great deal to frighten or intimidate Fiona, who was neither by a man storming around in a blind rage with a sword at the ready to dole out justice against a man who's punishment had already been carried out. While she did not approve of what Anders did or condone it, what was done was done, an spilling more blood wouldn't help. Especially if that blood was of an elf who was not unknown to the one-time Grand Enchanter for his deeds.

[aggregiopavali]

As if he was worried about his own life when it came to things like that. Fenris was a born survivor, but if he died? So be it. Besides, he could take care of himself. Danarius made sure of that when he started branding Fenris with lyrium.

He turned to look at the elf, his expression one of typical Fenris anger. "Then it would be a worthy demise," he pointed out, stopping short of sneering at his fellow elf, but only just.

[rebelenchanter]

"A worthy demise? You think your loss is more worthy than your life and the greater good you could do?" Now that reminded her of a certain someone, not that she was any less firm in her stance. Even if he sneered at her she could honestly claim that there were worse things. Like losing an agent for the Inquisition when the world was in danger. One mage? Could not be worth the world, no matter what the crime. Perhaps that was the Grey Warden in her speaking, but that voice has always been strongest.

[aggregiopavali]

"If you die doing something worthy, then yes, I don't have a problem with that." Because he'd already had a better life than he ever thought he would, so if he went out killing Anders, so be it. Though, if he were being honest, he didn't want to. He just wanted to hurt Anders. He'd seen what the war was doing to innocents, to slavery. At least he had a root cause for the war.

[rebelenchanter]

"And what if you do not even get close, does that still qualify as a worthy demise?" Because, of course, there would be Inquisition soldiers and Grey Wardens between the two of them. Fiona could not see how he could possibly make it far enough to kill Anders, let alone get a glimpse of him.

[aggregiopavali]

Then Fiona wasn't aware of Fenris' talents on blending in, becoming almost ghostlike in his appearance. It was how he was able to get into the middle of a slaver's camp and attack them without them even realising until it was far too late. "I can take care of myself," he growled out.

[rebelenchanter]

"Oh?" Small she might have been, easily intimidated by growling men with swords she clearly was not. She was too old to be so easily put out, "storming about and demanding Anders show himself for everyone within earshot to witness does not seem like self-preservation. You will be as marked as he is, that is not a fate you deserve."

[aggregiopavali]

"I don't know why anyone else would be surprised." Commander Cullen would certain not be surprised by it, nor he suspected would the Ambassador, and the Spymaster would know exactly who he was. Besides, he knew that Isabela would stop him.

[gatheringstorm]

Upon hearing Fenris shout, Korrin pauses on her way to the training dummies. She's been there more often of late, working out her rage since she can't take it out on the abomination himself. But far be it for her to stop the elf; he was there at Kirkwall and saw it happen personally. If anyone has a right to be royally pissed off, it's him.

She heads over, though gives him plenty of personal space. "The Grey Wardens fucked off on some mission, that abomination included. Nice, huh? Maybe he'll save us all this bullshit and not come back from it. But if he does, expect the Wardens to shield him." Not derailing, honest. If Fenris wants to deal with Anders when they return, the Grey Wardens can try to restrain him. It's what they get, for shielding an abomination and terrorist.

[aggregiopavali]

Wardens. Bethany. Did she know, helped hide him in Skyhold? It would appear that he would have to have words with her when she got back. He wasn't entirely sure what he would do if he found out she had known he was here, but... he had to know.

But the Qunari. Someone who recognized that Anders was an abomination. He stopped, narrowing his eyes as he looked at her. "How long have you known?" It's a fair question.

[gatheringstorm]

Korrin scowls, though not at him. She crosses her arms, pacing.

"I just found out when the announcement was posted, just like everyone else. Like fuck I'd keep that news to myself. Fucking Wardens, shielding a primed gaatlok barrel, because that's more or less exactly what he is, isn't he? No news from them on that front, either. So much for true cooperation, they just conscript him again and that's it. We're just supposed to put up with it."

[aggregiopavali]

Silently he cursed his inability to read. He could have found out sooner, rather than wait until he overheard people talking about it. But Korrin didn't need to know about it. "I know Wardens. They have a lot of secrets. It's the kind of thing they would do." He wasn't happy about it at all, but he knew what Wardens were like.

[gatheringstorm]

Given Korrin's unchanging expression, she's clearly not happy about it either. "Anything to defeat a Blight, isn't that what they say? But there's no fucking Blight now and harboring an abomination just in the hope that he'll be useful is a damn idiotic move. Skyhold's already dealt with enough crap erupting in its walls, we don't need this, too."

[aggregiopavali]

"Oh trust me, that doesn't stop Grey Wardens." To be fair, he'd been in the Deep Roads. He'd seen what even the Blight left overs could do, so he could understand to a degree. A small degree. "But they have made their choice." Fools. It would backfire on them spectacularly.

[gatheringstorm]

"And how soon before that choice comes to blow up in our faces? That's that pisses me off; it's not just their lives on the line, it's ours, too. And those here who can't defend themselves. In case those Wardens forgot, we still have plenty of refugees."

Fools, indeed. Korrin's lips form a thin, angry line just thinking about it. If there was a Blight in progress, she could almost understand...but there isn't. Corypheus doesn't count.

[aggregiopavali]

Fenris gave a toothy grin in response. Ah, he could understand her frustrations, most definitely. Still, it would appear that Anders wasn't there, so there was no point in getting all high and mighty about it now. He would wait until the Abomination showed himself. "And we will be expected to pick up the pieces, of course."

He needed to talk to Bethany.
