[Dragon Age] Ring
Chapter 13
Karen had a dream.
In the dream, he ran hurriedly in the ring, as if he was looking for something, but also seemed to be escaping from something.He wandered in the empty magic circle over and over again, the only sound of his breathing and footsteps in the silent corridor, the dim candlelight flickering and reflecting his own shadow.No matter which direction Karen went, no matter whether he went upstairs or downstairs, he would eventually come back here, the floor where the apprentice's classroom was located.
He walked for a long time, and Karen in the dream almost thought it was a lifetime.Just when he was exhausted, a person appeared at the end of the corridor.It's Emily.
With her back to herself, she was wearing that white dressing gown, standing there with bare feet, like a ghost.Karen walked forward, softly calling her name.Emily turned her head, the hair on her shoulders scattered with her movements, and her white skirt was stained with the same red blood as her hair.
Karen was stunned. He stepped back subconsciously, and saw a deep gash on Emily's neck, and blood was gushing out unstoppably.
"Karen." She opened her mouth, approaching herself as if she didn't feel hurt.
The blood stained her dressing gown red, dripping on the ground and her feet, but she didn't look at the blood and the wound, her jewel-like eyes stared blankly at Karen: "You promise you will protect me."
...No, it won't be what he thinks.
Emily followed his pace, she raised her hand, her slender and pale wrist was trembling uncontrollably.Emily reached that hand to his waist and drew his sword.
"Why didn't you keep your promise?"
...No, it won't be.
Karen realized that she had stopped in her tracks. Her blood was on the cold blade. The young girl raised the Templar sword high. Her usually calm and gentle voice suddenly became shrill and sharp, almost almost Scratches his eardrums—
"Why didn't you protect me!!! Why did you kill me!!!"
"--Do not!"
He opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, and took a deep breath.The fresh air in the morning quickly filled his oxygen-deficient lungs. Karen covered his face, and after a long while, he let out the breath slowly.He looked up and found that his colleagues were looking at him with inexplicable eyes, and the same young Templar asked with concern: "Are you okay, Karen?"
It was just a dream.
"I'm fine." He shook his head reluctantly, "It's just a nightmare."
It was just a nightmare, but it made Karen's heart almost sink in his stomach.
It was already daylight, and he did not go to the prayer room today.Karen knew that Emily must be waiting for him in the prayer room, and today's waiting would be more patient and longer than before.
Because tomorrow the ring will perform her painful ritual and accept the test of becoming a true mage.She would enter the Shadowlands and kill the demons within, and the process was risky.If Emily fails, she will be like the dead Fayella, her body will be possessed by demons and become an abomination.Such a process is very important for all mages. Emily is a very good apprentice. She has made a lot of preparations for the pain ceremony. Karen, who was once on duty in the library, knows it very well.
But that doesn't mean she can succeed.She must be worried, and Emily is so gentle, she will not show her anxiety and tension to other apprentices, but fortunately she still has herself.At this time, she needs to appear by herself, and needs him to hug her tightly, comfort her, and give her the greatest support and encouragement.
But Karen didn't miss her early morning appointments just because of nightmares.
Recalling the incomparably clear dream, Karen sighed in pain.
The mage's ritual of agony requires the presence of the Templars.In order to prevent a mage from becoming an abomination, a Templar is required to be fully armed and ready to kill a mage at any time.
And last night, Knight Commander Gregory called Karen to his office and told him that he was in charge of Emily's painful ceremony.
He's in charge of Emmel's ritual of agony, which means he'll place his sword on Emmel's shoulders as she enters the Shadow to fight demons.If she fails, Karen will watch her turn into an abomination, and will kill her with his own hands.Karen clearly remembered the way the Knight Commander looked at him at that time. His stern and scrutinizing eyes almost pierced him, as if he always knew what he was doing secretly, what he was doing with Emily.
Karen doesn't know how to tell Emily about this.
...but he had to tell her.
Standing by the pool, Karen washed his face, he shivered because of the coldness, and he became more awake because of it.
Yes, he had to tell Emily about it, and he had to see her before tomorrow came.
She needs her own support.It's much better to be in charge of her painful ritual than the other Templars, isn't it?Karen tried to think on the bright side, she was by her side when she was going through danger, it would give her some comfort - if she failed... no, Karen believed that she would not fail, Emily is so good , she will definitely pass this test.
Thinking so, Karen put on her armor and left her room.
He paused subconsciously as he passed the church, and then he realized that it was daylight, and Emmel would definitely not be in the prayer room.And just as he was about to leave, standing outside the church door, he found Jovan inside.
"Jovan?"
Thinking it was time for the apprentices to start their lessons, Karen called out his name.This suddenly froze the background of the young apprentice.
"What are you doing here?"
Qiao Wan looked very embarrassed, he stepped out bravely, shook the book in his hand, and said falteringly: "I left something in the church yesterday, and I came here to get it before class."
He glanced into the church suspiciously, and heard very slight footsteps after he shouted, but there must be a pastor working in the church at this time, so he nodded without thinking too much.Jovan looked relieved and turned to leave.
"and many more."
"what happened?"
Karen stopped him again. Seeing Qiao Wan's blank expression, he hesitated for a while, then took a deep breath.
"Can you...see Emily today?" He asked with difficulty.
"Of course, I can see her every day." Qiao Wan replied inexplicably, then quickly put on a complicated expression, and tentatively asked, "Aren't you and her..."
He didn't go on, but that was enough.
Karen realized that Qiao Wan's expression was telling himself that he knew, he knew about himself and Emily.It seems that Emily trusts him very much. Not only does this not make Karen nervous, but she relaxes inexplicably: "Uh, I want to see her, tonight."
He took a few steps forward and got closer to Karen: "What happened?"
"Tomorrow, her painful ritual... will be in charge of me."
"what?!"
The young apprentice cried out in shock, and Karen jumped at the sudden rise of his voice.Fortunately, there is no one in the corridor now. After shouting, Qiao Wan immediately realized his gaffe, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Why you? Is it—"
"—in the library tonight, can you tell her."
Karen responded with a helpless look.
Qiao Wan sighed: "I'll tell her, don't worry."
