Naruto was content, he'd been able to do it, he got his fiance, her family, his friend Aveline, and her husband on board a ship headed to Kirkwall.

Just a mere hour ago he had put a subtle sleeping spell over the others as he did his self imposed duty of being the guard and staying alert for any dangers.

The young Fire-bird did this for six hours before he felt a big ass finger tap his shoulder that he knew belonged to Daniel.

Naruto chuckled quietly. "Let me guess, Bethany broke out of the spell and released you from it to get me to go to sleep?"

The redheaded elf heard his future brother in law snort. "Well of course, she's powerful in her own right. Look if it helps, I'll be staying up now and taking watch."

Naruto sighed. "You're only saying this out loud as a way to tell me i have no choice huh."

It was a statement rather than a question but he got an answer in the form of a pat on the back.

Sighing he got up and walked over to Bethany where he sat down beside her.

When sat down he layed his head on her lap and closed his eyes. "You know i had to do this right Naruto? You wouldn't sleep if i didn't go straight to getting either Carver or Daniel to get you to sleep."

Naruto nodded his head slightly. "Yea though I detest the method i understand the reas (yawn) reasoning. Now go back to sleep, we'll be at sea for at least a week if not a month."

The two fell asleep like this with peaceful smiles on their faces. Daniel looked at their peaceful looks and smiled. 'You don't have to worry about us father, Naruto here has proven that he will not let this family be harmed by anyone and we'll do what we can to keep him safe even from himself.'

(1 month later)

From the front deck Naruto could see what he knew to be the gallows, a place he knew had been a housing area for slaves when Kirkwall had been apart of the imperium. "Holy mother of the creators." said Naruto quietly.

Bethany stood beside him confused. "What did you just say? And why does it sound like I should be worried?"

Naruto didn't look away from the building they were slowly approaching. "They are bringing us to a place where many have been enslaved years prior, a place that has been turned into a stopping point to control the flow of immigration and… into the Kirkwall circle of magi."

Bethany seemed to get scared until Naruto's hand was felt on her waist, pulling her in front of him where he hugged her from behind with his chin resting on the crook of her neck. "Breath Bethany, everything is going to be alright. There's no way they will ever even know, we use physical weapons, both of our staves are in my pocket dimension, and we'll only be in there long enough to get permission to enter the city. I have 348 silvers right now so if we really need to i can easily bribe someone. "

Bethany physically relaxed, leaned into Naruto, and smiled. She didn't know how but she just knew that he'd make sure everything went right and it comforted her.

When they docked the ragtag group unloaded and moved passed the large group of refugees and one guard silently at the redheaded elven males insistence.

When they got into the area they found a guard of higher standing than the one they just snuck past talking to a few other refugees.

Naruto being the person that he was went up to the guard with the most disarming yet somehow also creepiest smile ever. "Hello sir, i can see that you're very busy these days and apologize for the interruption but I'd like to know if…" At this point he pulls out a bag of a hundred silvers. "... This can be sped up and me and my companions can be allowed to enter the city with full citizenship."

The guard grabbed the pouch and counted it all out with wide eyes before nodding. *cough cough* "Yes, welcome to Kirkwall."

The group the guard had been speaking to started to protest until Naruto turned the smile towards them causing them to stand stock still. "This won't be a problem will it gentlemen?" His smile got even creepier if at all possible by being impossibly wide with his eyes closed.

The leader of the other group shook his head negatively while backing up. "No problems, none at all." The entire group turned and walked away.

The man looked to Naruto gratefully. "Thank you, that could have gone terribly wrong if not for you."

Naruto shrugged it's nothing, I'd just rather not have to spill blood when i just got here, not a good first impression to the people i may have to work for soon.

The guy nodded. "True enough, is there anything I can do to repay you for the help?"

Naruto looked to the others and Leandra nodded before stepping up. "Can you have my brother Gamlen Amell told to meet us at the docks?"

The guard nodded and led them to a small boat that they all hopped into, he brought them to the docks of Kirkwall where had them wait until he returned.

For an hour the group sat on the edge of the dock waiting in silence when the guy returned with a guy around the same age as Leandra.

Said woman had Daniel help her up and hugged the man. "Gamlen!"

The guy smiled. "Oh Leandra, it's good to see you again."

Gamlen looked around as if to find someone. "Where's that big bag of jokes Malcolm at?"

The sad looks on the Hawke family and Naruto told him all he needed to know. "I see… my condolences sister, he was a good man no matter what mother and father thought."

Changing the subject Leandra looked her brother up and down. She remembered exactly what he had looked like before, a short lanky boy with not a hair on his face along with chocolate brown hair that was always unnaturally neat without a hair out of place, and perfectly smooth hands, he used to wear nothing but the best and finest quality clothes tailored specifically for him. Now he was a tall lightly muscled man with a scraggly beard, disheveled graying hair, and calloused hands. He was wearing a uniform of a dock worker.

His biggest change though were his eyes, they used to be filled with nothing but happiness and life, now there was a pain and sadness that was hidden behind a mask of happiness that was a mere shadow of his former self.

"What happened Gamlen, why are you wearing such a uniform?" asked the Hawke family matriarch in worry.

The man chuckled hollowly. "Well when mother and father disowned me i had to make ends meet and it was either this or mercenary work. Now don't get me wrong, i did the mercenary work for a while but i had to stop that for my little girl Sally's sake and started working at the shipping company here moving crates."

Gamlen looked over to the guard. "Can you please bring these seven to my place while I go to work, my daughter would love to meet them."

The guy nodded. "Of course serrah."

They were about to leave when both Wesley and Aveline stopped. "We apologize but we'll need to be going, i need to report to the templar headquarters while Aveline goes to Hightown to join he guards." said Wesley before jumping back onto the boat.

Aveline smiled and started to walk away. "We'll have to meet up again and swap even more stories Naruto, maybe over some ale after a spar."

Naruto chuckled while nodding. "Of course Aveline though it will have to wait until we are all settled into our new lives here."

And so they moved, they walked up a large set of stairs into Lowtown and walked up to a nondescript house where they were greeted by a brown haired girl with fair skin in a well tailored if not low to mid quality dress. "Hello, who are you people?"

Naruto stepped up. "I'm Naruto Fire-bird and you must be my future cousin in law. These people behind me minus the guard are the Hawke family, your cousins and aunt."

The young elven male stood back and watched the introductions after that with a small and unnoticeable smile, well… unnoticeable to all but Bethany.

Said girl stepped back and stood beside him as they walked into the house (With the guard leaving) and spoke quietly. "You may be able to hide it from the others but i know you too well hun, this is what you've been hoping for huh? For all of us to be happy again."

Naruto nodded slightly. "Yea, and I have an idea on how to keep it that way though you may not like it."

The female mage sighed. "Let me guess, you're planning to propose to go into the mercenary business?"

Naruto grinned. "Do i even have to answer that?"

The girl shook her head in exasperation. "No not really, can you at least bring Carver or Daniel with you?"

This is where he smirked. "I actually planned to bring both of them and make a team with them. I plan to make a name for us where the mere mentioning of us has qunari shaking in fear."

Bethany rolled her eyes. "boys, always trying to look tough."

The day went well and when Gamlen returned Naruto spoke to him and he recommended talking to an old friend of his that ran his own group of mercenaries called the red iron."

(1 month later)

It had worked out well, the boys had joined up as a team and within the month they already had a name for themselves for taking out anyone they were sent after without a single person getting away.

Now Naruto was standing in front of Bethany, both of them in fancy clothes, beside Naruto was Carver as his best man, beside Bethany was Aveline as the bridesmaid, and in front of them was the Grand cleric Elthina.

"We stand here today we stand in the chantry to see the bringing together of two souls under the power of the maker, if anyone has any objections to this marriage speak now or forever hold your peace."

Both Bethany and Naruto glared out at the crowd as if daring anyone to say anything.

Elthina continued on. "Then may the presenting of the rings commence."

Naruto was handed the ring he was to present to Bethany by Carver, he had been prepared for this day for a long time and made this ring (solid gold band with a fairly large diamond on the top) and memorized his vows.

He spoke as he placed the ring on Bethany's out stretched finger. "May this ring signify the bonds we have made over the last couple of years, the memories we have shared, and the love we have discovered. May these words not be a mere vocalization but a true unbreakable vow of what is to come."

Aveline handed Bethany the ring she was to present (onyx band) that she placed on Naruto's outstretched finger as she spoke. "May this ring represent the happiness that you have brought me and the happiness i hope to have brought to you, the fullness of our lives after you proposed, and all of the happy times yet to come."

The two kissed, then all of those invited (Wesley, Aveline, Daniel, Carver, Leandra, Gamlen, Sally, and the entirety of the red iron) danced and laughed as merriment filled the chantry.
