I don't anything but the story in my head, BioWare's toys mixed with my ideas:)

After I heard two thuds of bodies falling to the ground I got to see the horrid scene: my beautiful Hawke bleeding away on a maker damned operating table, her knees were gone and she wasn't responding to Isabella.

"Anders! Get your butt over here and heal her! She's dying!" Anders ran to Varric's side, his hands shaky and unsteady.

"I need lyrium. I have some in my pack-"

I spoke for the first time in four days, "No need, I brought some for her in case she needed it." I handed Anders the lyrium and stood by her head. She was unconscious though her eyes were wide open, staring into oblivion. Barely hanging onto life itself. I cupped her porcelain cheeks as Anders began healing her. "Oh, my beautiful Marian." I felt my tears burn my markings, but the normal anguish didn't come with the burning sensation. All I could feel is sadness. Pain.

Heartbroken.

"What did they do to you…?" Varric demanded Carver to get Marian's bag.

"Search the whole damn place, Carver! We need to find her bag!" My tears dropped to her face and when I tried to speak, all that came was whimpers and whines.

I looked into his red eyes, I held on to what I could. Fighting the urge to let go. My sight faded in and out slowly soothing me to say goodbye. My hands lifted to Fenris but dropped when they got half way.

"Mage- Anders! Please, whatever you're doing, it's working!" He took my hand and prayed in Tevinter, no doubt for my life. "Maker. If you're there, please hear me in my time of need…."

Blood poured from my mouth as I spoke, "Fenr-l" His finger covered my lips.

"Hush, Marian, we're trying, just hold on." His face turned towards Anders, "Anders, if you save her I will owe you my life. Just please. Please, save her."

Anders took one look at Fenris and immediately we saw Justice. He started spewing orders at Carver and Merrill, things he needed and what they needed to do. My skin tingled, sort of an electrical shock took over as I faded to black.

I looked over the table at my own lifeless body, gasping for air as Anders tried desperately to heal my body. "Oh, Fenris, please don't cry for me. Please, darling. I love you so much. I knelt beside him for just one moment before rising and walking to the opposite side of the room where Carver was. Time didn't seem to pass at a normal rate. I felt as though everything was molasses. I put my hand on my brother's shoulder and cried with him, knowing I was going to die. This had to be the Maker's way of letting me say goodbye.

I knelt down to my pack and pulled it from his grasp, his fingers were ice cold and felt like glass. I placed a kiss on his forehead, "Take care of them, baby brother. Take care of Fenris." I slowly walked passed Merrill who hasn't moved the whole time. "Goodbye, Merrill. Thank you for being such a good friend." I small whimper seemed to come from her as I walked away, but deemed it my imagination.

"Ah, Anders. What a crazy fool you are. Don't waste your lyrium on my worthless body. You and I know full well I am way beyond repair." I looked at his figure, which didn't seem all that healthy. His ribs were poking out from his robes and his face showed a skull-like feature to it. Something I haven't seen in years. A scoff came from his raspy throat. "So, my friend…" I couldn't seem to find the right words to suit our situation. So instead of words a hug is what I gave him. Pulling a silver band out of my pocket, I took Fenris's hand and placed it on his ring finger. "I love you always. Now and forever."

The door blew open and as I walked toward it, I accepted my fate. I was no longer needed in this world, I would finally be with father, and Bethany. After all this time. No more fears. The white light that emitted from the door way was blinding, but I walked to it without hesitation.

"You have done a brilliant job in this life, honey. I am so proud." Father?

"Great job, sister. I couldn't have done it any better." Bethany!

With one last look at those I knew I took a leap into a world I didn't.

I opened my eyes, but she was gone, and I knew it. Though when I looked down, I saw a band on my finger. It was engraved with…. Te Amo Perpetuo, Nunc Et Semper, I love you always, now and forever

"Oh, Marian."
