[Dragon Age] Under Six Feet

? Time did not give her a chance to breathe.

Kellyanne was unexpectedly quiet all the way to Amarantine, which was very strange, because even though she was carrying a short sword and dagger, she was never a silent assassin, rarely sneaked, and would even jump up and down to provoke the enemy ——This is also the reason why she always needs someone with a shield in front of her. Sometimes even if she is in the same camp as her, Logan can't help but have the urge to teach her to be a human...to be an elf.

But along the way, she hardly spoke. Originally, Logan just thought she was not in the mood.But it wasn't until Sleepless Fortress, when they cleaned up the dark descendants rushing up and confirmed that there were no more enemies emerging from the ground, that Kellyanne fell down.

Yes, she just fell down.In the hall of Sleepless Fortress, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Logan, who was walking in front, felt that she was pulling him. Just when he turned around and thought she had something to say, Kellyanne bumped into his breastplate superior.

For a moment after catching her, even Logan didn't know what happened.

She never fell down, even when facing the big devil, she had to cut off the dragon's head first with the arm-long cut behind her back.Logan has always felt that Kellyanne has a terrible resilience. She is not afraid of death, let alone suffering. She doesn't care about other people's eyes and doesn't care about fame and fortune. Such a person will only truly fall to his knees when he dies.

And at this time, almost, almost, she fell to the ground.

The apostate mage they met on the road came over and showed a surprised expression when he reached out and touched Kellyanne's skin: "Have you ever encountered a demon before?"

Another demon.

I knew it was like this, and the matter of coming to Military Peak would not be over so quickly.Logan frowned: "What's the situation?"

"Some negative spells from the Shadow Realm." The mage shrugged, and then continued in a slippery tone, "This is just a small problem, I think what we should consider now is...she fell, who is the mess in the fortress?" To clean up?"

Then Logan found that everyone present was looking at him.

He and Kellyanne were the only two gray guards left in Ferelden. The commander fell, so she had to let her helper stand on top.Moreover, Logan was a lord before, and it was not a matter of every minute to deal with the affairs of the Sleepless Fortress. Such a choice sounded reasonable.

It was reasonable, Logan spat in his heart, he couldn't help but mocked: "Of course the gray guard will 'thank' me well when he wakes up."

And the small question that the apostate mage Anders said made Kellyanne unconscious on the bed for three days. On the fourth day, she finally opened her eyes, but at the same time she developed a fever.Anders said this was a normal phenomenon, but Logan really didn't dare to call the situation of a woman with a high blood debt lying sick in bed "normal".

Her horse-dog, a tireless guardian, had never left Kerian's bedside since Kerian's death.When Logan pushed the door and entered, the war dog immediately raised its head, flicked its tail after seeing the comer, and barked happily.

"Don't wake her up."

Logan lowered his voice and lectured, but it was too late, even though he was feverish, Kellyanne still sharply propped up her body and raised her head.

On weekdays, Kellyanne's pale cheeks had an unhealthy flush. After seeing the person, she curled up under the sheets again, mumbled "Logan", and her voice was surprisingly fragile. I don't know if I really regained consciousness, or if this is just a raving in my illness.

"Kelian?"

She opened her eyes again, meeting Logan's gaze.The light-colored pupils were covered by a mist, but when she touched the man's scrutiny, she frowned and blinked, the moisture in the eye sockets dissipated immediately, and the amazing sharpness emerged again: "What's the matter?"

He reported to her the situation these days.From the clean-up work of the Sleepless Fortress to the intelligence of a few nobles, Logan explained everything succinctly. He doubted how much Ekelian could hear and understand in the current situation.However, the level of people in Sleepless Fortress is very good, even according to the lord's critical eyes. When she recovers, there will be no major problems in the handover.

"Someone wants to kill me." After hearing the situation, Kellyanne broke the silence, "I knew it."

"What are you going to do?"

"Just help me deal with it."

As she spoke, she turned over and raised her head to the ceiling.

"Amarantine was given to the gray guard by the queen, and you are also the gray guard. I can't manage it for the time being, and you can manage it. It's normal."

"I'm afraid your landlords don't think so." Logan sneered a few times, "It's really a good idea to let the former traitors regain power."

She hummed inexplicably.Logan is used to Kellyanne who is always in a tense state and always speaks sarcasticly. At this time, she looks like she is unable to speak or does not want to speak, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

"I repeated that hallucination every night I left Military Peak."

She babbled, and it took Logan a few seconds to realize what she was referring to.He raised his eyebrows: "You should have said earlier."

Kellyanne glanced at him, still sharp, but the redness of the corners of the eyes and cheeks took away the aggression.

"What's the use of telling you? You are not a mage, and I don't know that I have been under the magic of the devil. But... this may not be a bad thing."

As she spoke, she withdrew her gaze and continued to scan the empty ceiling in the room.

"I was thinking, what have I gained along the way?"

Logan looked up in surprise.

Her war dog jumped onto the bed, and Kellyanne reached out and took the huge war dog in her arms, leaning against its soft belly like a confused and wandering little girl.

She was just a little girl, Logan thought, innocent of course.

"I killed my enemy, but I lost my fiancé, and I had to say goodbye to my family; I killed the big devil, but the ending is just to be separated from my companions," she paused, Logan thought she would turn to look at him, but Kellyanne didn't move, "Each go on with their own lives."

"No one will stop for anyone."

Kelly Ann smiled: "Yes, no one will stop for anyone, you have a lot of experience."

Of course he is very experienced.From childhood to now, the relationship that Logan thought would be eternal is always so easily shattered, family, friendship and love - the most ironic thing is that shattered not because of the fragility of feelings and changes in human nature, but because of the passing of life It is often understated and irreversible. No matter how much emotion and mood, without the sustenance of the body, it is just a handful of dust in the memory, which is useless except to increase the burden.

"Kelian," he said, "you've come this far because you don't want anything."

No need, no scruples, no one can stop.

She nodded: "Yes, but..."

Finally willing to look away from the ceiling, Kellyanne turned around, and Logan was subconsciously startled, before she could stop her, she said, "But I still want to leave something behind."

What do you want to leave behind?

Gray Guard's gaze was so direct that Logan didn't even have room to change the subject.He looked at Kellyanne quietly, the young elf, lying tired and embarrassed on the bed, but even a high fever couldn't block the blades and flames in her eyes.He knew what she wanted to leave behind.It was this kind of Kellyanne who defeated all those who stood in her way, and came to the present without forgiveness... It was this kind of Kellyanne, once she spoke, Logan knew that he would not reject her.

"You'd better get well soon, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to do."

He stood up and ended the conversation.

Fortunately, Kellyanne didn't care, she looked back nonchalantly: "I know."?
