I was going to warn earlier, but I'm lazy (and I forgot) so I'm posting the 'warning' here in this chapter. This is a sort of three way crossover between DAI, Pokemon, and Harry Potter. Granted, I don't plan on ever exploring either world in this book. Or ever exploring the Pokemon one. The Harry Potter one will Probably only happen in a One-Shot/drabble book separate from this one. So do be warned. Also. Don't hesitate to criticize something! (Admittedly, I'm looking forward to any flames/hate I may get.) There will be another note at the bottom.

Alexis' eyes snapped out, looking at the blurry ceiling before sitting up. She looked around, eyes snapping up at the sound of something dropping. "Oh! I didn't know you were awake! I swear!" A young even woman sputtered, backing away. She blinked, "Easy, darling. No need to panic." She held up her hands in a non-threatening manner. It didn't seem to help much as the woman fell to her hands and knees and bowed her head. Alexis felt dread and anxiety well up in the pit of her stomach. 'Oh no.' She had a feeling She knew where this was going. "I beg you forgiveness and your blessing. I am but a humble servant. You are back in Haven, my Lady. They say you saved us. The Breach stopped growing, just like the mark on your hand. It's all anyone has talked about for the last three days." The woman said. Alexis threw her legs over the edge of the bed, and tilted her head, "Are we safe? Did we succeed?" She sighed and stood up when she noticed the woman's reluctance to stand. She approached and pulled the woman to her feet. "Please don't bow. I'm only human." Alexis pleaded gently. The woman nodded, head moving jerkingly. "Thank you. Now, I hate to bother; but my previous question still requires an answer." Alexis pushed gently. "Oh, it is no bother, My Lady! The Breach is still in the sky, but that's what they say." She said, wringing her hands. Alexis nodded and pulled away from the woman. The woman began to back away towards the door, "I'm certain Lady Cassandra would want to know you've wakened. She said, 'At Once.'" Alexis cocked her head to the side. "Her location?" She asked. "In the Chantry, with the Lord Chancellor. 'At once,' she said." The woman answered, before all but fleeing. Alexis blinked, bemused, before looking down at the box she dropped. Kneeling down she opened it to see it filled with Elfroot. She took out a leaf and ate it, feeling her stomach settle a bit. She stood up and took a few deep breaths. "Right, let us see what the dearest Seeker wants." With that, after placing the rest of the Elfroot on the table, she left the cabin. Only to freeze immediately after she stepped foot out of the door. A bunch of soldiers and civilians lined the street. 'Shit.' She took another deep breath, squared her shoulders and held her head up. She kept her gaze forward as she walked forward, making her way to the Chantry as fast as she could without making it seem as if she was rushing. Alexis dipped her head to the Sister standing outside the chantry doors and entered quickly, looking around. The place seemed empty of outside presence and as she walked, she could hear the voices of Seeker Cassandra and Chancellor Roderick arguing behind the door at the end of the room.

"Have you gone completely mad? She should be taken to Val Royeaux immediately, to be tried by whomever becomes Divine!"

"I do not believe she is guilty."

"The prisoner failed, Seeker. The Breach is still in the sky. For all you know, she intended it this way."

"I do not believe that."

"That is not for you to decide. Your duty is to serve the Chantry."

"My duty is to serve the principles on which the Chantry was founded, Chancellor. As is yours."

Alexis didn't linger, pushing the door open and stepping into the room, keeping part of her attention on the guards on either side of the door. It seemed it wasn't just Cassandra and the Chancellor, as Leliana was here as well. "Chain her. I want her prepared for travel to the capital for trial." The Chancellor ordered. "Disregard that and leave us." Cassandra countered. The guards saluted and left, much to the Chancellors embarrassment. "You walk a dangerous line, Seeker." He snapped at her. "The Breach is stable, but it is still a threat. I will not ignore it." Cassandra replied calmly, but firmly. 'As you seem intent on doing.' Alexis added mentally before speaking up, "I did everything I could given the circumstances and yet you still see me as a suspect?" The Chancellor turned a glare onto her. "You most certainly are." He confirmed. "No, she isn't. Have a care, Chancellor, the Breach is not the only threat we face." Cassandra contradicted once more. "Someone was behind the explosion at the Conclave. Someone Most Holy did not expect. Perhaps they died with the others — or have allies who yet live." Leliana spoke up for the first time since Alexis entered the Chantry. Chancellor Roderick looked affronted, obviously understanding what she wasn't saying. "I am a suspect?" He asked. "You, and many others." Leliana confirmed. "But not the prisoner!" He snapped. "I heard the voices in the temple. The Divine called to her for help." Cassandra said, straightening. "So her survival, that thing on her hand — all a coincidence?" He asked, frustrated. "Providence. The Maker sent her to us in our darkest hour." Cassandra spoke as though it were obvious. 'Which it isn't. Seriously, why would a god pick me. I am neither religious nor a prime example of all things good.' "Woah, let's not. For one, I am a Mage. Odd though I may be. That's not even going into the fact I do not follow you Maker." Alexis was quick to inform. "No matter what you are, or what you believe, you are exactly what we needed when we needed it." She replied. Alexis clenched her teeth, looked at her in partial horror. 'I don't want to be a Saviour! I've seen, well read, what happens to Saviours and Heroes.' She swallowed down the bile that rose in her throat as anxiety coiled stronger in her stomach. "The Breach remains and your mark remains our only hope of closing it." Leliana said to her, probably intending it to be soothing. "This is not for you to decide." The Chancellor hissed. Suddenly Cassandra slammed a thick book onto the table. Alexis jumped a bit, looking at her wide eyed. 'Where the hell she get that?' "You know what this is, Chancellor?" She didn't wait for him to answer, "A writ from the Divine, granting us the authority to act. As of this moment, I declare the Inquisition reborn. We will close the breach, we will find those responsible, and we will restore order. With or without your approval." She spoke sharply, and with confidence, jabbing a finger at the Chancellor as she backed him up and it resulted in him leaving. Alexis winced, she was pretty sure that all of the Inquisitions from her home were all bad. She rather hopes this one didn't turn out the same way. "This is the Divine's directive: rebuild the Inquisition of old. Find those who will stand against the chaos. We aren't ready. We have no leader, no numbers, and now no Chantry support." Leliana, though she spoke sensibly, obviously was not objecting to it. "But we have no choice; we must act now." Cassandra agreed, before turning to Alexis. "Preferably, with you at our side." She added. Alexis sighed, "This was not what I was picturing when I woke. I will do what I can to aid you and yours." Cassandra smiled, sharply angled face softening briefly as she held out her hand. Alexis grabbed it with her own and they shook.

"Does it trouble you?" Cassandra asked, motioning to Alexis hand. She frowned and looked at it. "It's a bit disconcerting, but no, not particularly." She replied. "We take our victories where we can." Cassandra spoke with a nod. "What's important is that your mark is now stable, as is the Breach. You've given us time, and Solas believes a second attempt might succeed — provided the mark has more power. The same level of power used to open the Breach in the first place. That is not easy to come by." Cassandra explained, and Alexis nodded absently, looking at the Mark for another moment before letting the hand fall. "Well, there's no harm in powering something we don't have a big understanding of." Alexis spoke flatly. "Keep hold of that humour. You may need it in coming times." Cassandra replied with a smirk. They entered the designated war room, to find Leliana, a blonde man, and a dark skinned woman waiting around the table. "May I present Commander Cullen Rutherford, head of the Inquisition's Forces." Cassandra introduced. Alexis bowed her head to the man, who nodded back. "Such as they are. We lost many soldiers in the valley, and I fear many more before this is through." He spoke as way of greeting. Alexis grimaced, "Death may be inevitable, but that does not mean I will not do what I can to prevent soldiers from falling to his hand earlier than their time." The group blinked at her and she flushed, looking down. "Wise words. Now this is Lady Josephine Montilyet, our ambassador and chief diplomat." Cassandra said, her voice seemed to hold a trace of approval. "I have heard much. A pleasure to meet you at last." She said, dipping her head in greeting. "And of course you've already met Sister Leliana." She finished. "My position here involves a degree of…" Leliana seemed to hesitant on how to explain before Cassandra interrupted. "She is our spymaster."

"Yes. Tactfully put, Cassandra."

Alexis grinned at Leliana's exasperation. "Impressive titles. I'm not sure if I should be jealous or not." Alexis jokes. "So, why am I here?" She added. "I mentioned that your mark needs more power to close the Breach for good." Cassandra stated, receiving a nod from the brunette. "Which means we must approach the rebel mages for help." Leliana replied. "I still disagree. The templars could serve just as well." Cullen said. "We need power, Commander. Enough magic poured into that mark—"

"Might destroy us all. Templars could suppress the Breach, weaken it so—"

"Pure Speculation." Leliana interrupted. "I was a templar. I know what they're capable of." He replied, frown marring his face. "Unfortunately, neither group will speak to us yet. The Chantry has denounced the inquisition—" Josephine turned to Alexis, "And you, Specifically." Alexis brows furrowed in confusion, before realization sunk in. "Ah. Right. Supposed Herald of Andraste I am. That was rather quick, though." She hummed. "Shouldn't they be busy arguing over who's going to become Divine?" Cullen sighed. "Yes, it is as you said. Some are calling you the 'Herald of Andraste,' and that frightens the Chantry." Josephine said. "The remaining Clerics have declared it blasphemy, and we heretics for harboring you." Alexis sighed, 'Admittedly, you can't exactly blame them.' "Chancellor Roderick's doing, no doubt." Cassandra frowned. "It limits our options. Approaching the mages or templars for help is currently out of the question." Josephine sighed, frowning. "Will they attack us?" Alexis asked, crossing her arms. "With what? They only have words at their disposal." Cullen asked, mockingly. Alexis snapped her eyes to him, frowning at him. "Words can be incredibly powerful, especially when something is worded corrected. There's also the fact that the Chantry holds influence we do not." Alexis contradicted. Josephine looked at her, impressed. Apparently, that seemed to chastise him, as he grimaced and looked away briefly. "There is something you can do." Leliana said, looking at Alexis. "A Chantry Cleric by the name Mother Giselle has asked to speak to you. She is not far, and knows those involved far better than I. Her assistance could be invaluable." She finished. Alexis nodded, "and her location?" Leliana smiled. "The Hinterlands near Redcliffe. She is tending to the wounded there." She replied. "Look for other opportunities to expand the Inquisition's influence while you're there." Cullen requested. "As well as agents to extend our reach beyond this valley, and you're better suited than anyone to recruit them." Josephine added. "In the meantime, let's think of other options. I won't leave this all to the Herald." Cassandra said, spine straightening.

"Its empty." Alexis frowned, looking around the cavern where her family should have been. She grabbed the torch that was hanging on the Wall and lit it up. "No signs of struggle, so it means they left on their own free will." She hummed. "Do you know where they may have gone?" Solas asked. Alexis shook her head, before she caught sight of a piece of parchment. She picked it up and read the sloppy, smudged, and sometimes misspelled letter. "Ah. Their aiding at the Crossroads. Two birds with one stone than. Let's head to the Inquisition Camp, now." Alexis said, burning the letter.

They were greeted by an auburn hair dwarf with freckles. "The Herald of Andraste! I've heard the stories. Everyone has. We know what you did at the Breach." She said in way of greeting. "Everyone's a little nervous around mages right now, but you'll get no back talk here. That's a promise." She continued, grinning a little. "Inquisition Scout Harding, at your service. I — all of us here — we'll do whatever we can to help." She finished, introducing herself. "Harding, huh? Ever been to Kirkwall's Hightown?" Varric asked, lips quirked up in a smirk. Scout Harding turned to him in confusion, "Can't say that I have, why?"

"Cause you'd be harding in- ugh, never mind."

Alexis snorted as Cassandra let out a disgusted sound. "I'm starting to worry about these 'stories' that everyone's heard." Alexis says. "Oh. There's nothing to worry about. They only say you're the last great hope for Thedas." Scout Harding replied. Alexis' face fell flat, "Oh. How Wonderful."

"The Hinterlands are as good a place as any to start fixing things." She replied. "To get back on track; What's the situation out here in the Hinterlands?" Alexis sighed, grabbing her left wrist behind her back. "We came to secure horses from Redcliffe's old horsemaster. I grew up here, and people always said that Dennet's herd were the strongest and fastest this side of the Frostbacks. But with the mage-templar fighting getting worse, we couldn't get to Dennet. Maker only knows if he's even still alive. Mother Giselle's at the crossroads helping refugees and the wounded. Our latest reports say that the war's spread there too. Corporal Vale and our men are doing what they can to help protect the people, but they won't be able to hold out very long. You best get going. No time to lose." Harding said, before turning away and leaving the group to themselves. Following the path meant it did not take long for them to reach the crossroads where a group of Inquisition soldiers, plus a very familiar form of one Lucerne, were fighting off rogue Templars. "Lucerne!" Alexis called in greeting. The sole Qunari turned to them, stitched lips forming a smile at the sight of Alexis. "Inquisition forces! They're trying to protect the refugees!" Cassandra added. "Looks like they could use a hand." Varric said. Alexis nodded, pulling her sword free, and jumping into the fray.

The moment the fighting was done, Lucerne wrapped their sister in a hug, utterly relieved. "Letters are okay and all, but seeing you with my own eyes is better." they signed, shackles rattling as they moved their hands. "Sorry." Alexis apologized sheepishly. "Where are the Foxes?" She asked, realizing that she hadn't seen the duo in the fight. "Watching our new charge." Lucerne replied. Alexis looked at her in confusion, "New charge?" Lucerne nodded. "About a week after you left for the Conclave a young human boy appeared in the cave. When I finally got him to talk and not fear me, he explained that he had been running from his cousin and his cousins friends. From what I could tell he didn't have a good home life. I may have been chained and bound all my life, but at least I was taken care off." Lucerne glared off to the side, obviously pissed. Which didn't happen often considering their upbringing. "So, your family are Qunari?" Alexis turned to see Varric and the others watching them interact. "No, just them." Alexis stood back, motioning to Lucerne. "Right! Proper introduction and you will meet the others later. This is Lucerne, a former Qunari Mage. I met her in Seheron." She grinned happily. "A pleasure to meet you, I am Solas." Solas spoke first, dipping his head. Lucerne waved back. "Varric Tethras: rogue, storyteller, and occasional unwelcome tagalong." Varric greeted, word for word of his introduction to Alexis, getting an eye roll from both women. "Cassandra is my name." Cassandra nodded. Alexis turned back to Lucerne, "Can you take me to Mother Giselle? I need to speak with her." Lucerne looked at me and nodded, motioning her with her head to follow.

Cassandra split off to go and speak with Corporal Vale. Mother Giselle was speaking with a wounded soldier as the rest of the group approached, convincing him to let a mage aid him. "Mother Giselle?" Alexis called as she finished speaking to the soldier. The Mother stood and turned to face her. "I am. And you must be the one they're calling the Herald of Andraste." She greeted. "I suppose, though not through any choice of my own." Alexis replied, arms crossing. "We seldom have much say in our fate, I'm sad to say." Mother Giselle said. Alexis hummed in agreement, nodding. "You are not against magic?" She asked her. "We do not teach that magic is evil. We teach that pride is evil — and does not corrupt only mages. But I did not ask you to come simply to debate with me." The Mother said. Alexis grinned, laughing. "I like you. What did you wish to speak about?" She asked. Alexis waved away the rest of the group as she followed after the Mother. "I know of the Chantry's denouncement, and I'm familiar with those behind it. I won't lie to you: some of them are grandstanding, hoping to increase their chances of becoming the new Divine. Some are simply terrified. So many good people, senselessly taken from us…" she spoke softly, obviously mourning for those lost. "I don't care much for people I do not know, but it was still a tragedy that happened." Alexis sighed, frowning. "Fear makes us desperate, but hopefully not beyond reason." Mother Giselle sighed, Looking down. "Go to them. Convince the remaining Clerics you are no demon to be feared. They have heard only frightening tales of you. Give them something else to believe." She urged looking back at her. "Will that not just make it worse? They don't exactly like me or mine." Alexis asked, frowning. "Because you are a mage?" Mother Giselle questioned before pressing on, "Let me put it this way: you needn't convince them all. You just need some of them to doubt. Their power is their unified voice. Take that from them, and you receive the time you need." Alexis sighed, running her hand through the growing hair on the sides of her head. 'I need to find someone to reshave my head. Maybe I can convince Solas help me.' She nibbled her lips, before nodding. "Alright, I'll go and speak with them. Thank you in advance for any aid you may give us." Alexis said, dipping her head. "I honestly don't know if you've been touched by fate or sent to help us… but I hope. Hope is what we need now. The people will listen to your rallying call, as they will listen to no other. You could build the Inquisition into a force that will deliver us… or destroy us. I will go to Haven and provide Sister Leliana the names of those in the Chantry that would be amenable to a gathering. It is not much, but I will do whatever I can." The Mother said, before turning and leaving. Alexis sighed again before turning to Lucerne who had followed them. "Alright, Let me meet this new charge." Alexis said. Lucerne nodded, motioning her to follow. "He says his name is Harry, but that he doesn't like it. Can't say I'm surprised with the memories attached to it." They signed. They soon came to a stop just outside the Crossroads where a tent was set up. A young boy, maybe around four or five sat with Ignis (probably to keep warm) in his lap and holding up Alexis' old copy of the Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales. Lucerne deliberately rattled their chains to announce them. The boy jumped, and his eyes snapped up. Alexis let out a sharp exhale. She recognized him immediately. 'Well shit.' He looked at Alexis warily, squinting. "Hello, little one. My names Alexis. Lucerne says you'll be sticking with us." Alexis started, kneeling down to the kids level. The kid startled, shooting to his feet and knocking Ignis to the ground. "Yes, please! I'll do whatever you want me to! I don't want to be alone." He whispered the last part softly. "Easy, kid. You don't need to do anything. You're a kid, your meant to have fun." Alexis eased, putting her hands up non-threateningly. The boy nodded. "Come here for a moment, please. I wish to check something." Alexis requested, motioning him forward. He hesitated, looking to Lucerne, who nodded, before approaching, tightening his arms around the book. Once he was in arms reach she reached up slowly and brushed aside his bangs. She frowned when she saw the scar. She used her finger to trace it, using her magic to examine it. She pulled her finger away as if it were burned. She, nor Lucerne, was versed well in Spirit magic to do anything about the thing in his scar. "Shit. That's not good." Alexis muttered with a frown. "What? What's wrong?" The boy asked worriedly, hands coming up to cover up his scar. Alexis bit her lip, trying to decide It she should be blunt or not. She finally sighed. "There is something very bad in that scar of yours. I can't do anything about it because I am not well versed in that kind of magic." She finally answered, keeping it simple for him. The boy flinched, likely because of the word 'magic' if he had the same upbringing as his book counterpart. He swallowed, "C-Can you get rid of it?" He asked. Alexis sighed. "I can't, but I know someone who might be able to." She replied. She stood up and turned to Lucerne. "Stay here with him. I'm going to go fetch the mage I came with." Alexis ordered, receiving a nod in turn.

Alexis found the elf apostate tending to a wounded soldier. "Solas, I need you help." She called. The man finished healing the soldier before turning to her. "Yes? What is it?" He asked. "I need you to look at something for me." She said, jerking her head in the direction of her family. "Of course." He said, dipping his head.

"Hello again, little one." Alexis greeted, "This is my friend Solas, he's gonna take a look at your scar." She had explained the situation the the apostate on the way over here. Harry looked at the man, obviously trying not to oogle at his ears. "Is he going to get rid of the bad thing?" He asked, looking incredibly small. "I will most certainly try." Solas confirmed. "Do you need to look at my scar too?" Harry questioned, squirming away from Lucerne, whose arms he'd be in. "If you will allow me, yes." Solas replied, kneeling down. Harry shuffled forward moving his bangs aside. Solas raised his hand and placed it on the kids head. He let out a shuddering breath. "Yes, I see the problem. However, I can't remove it myself. I can isolate it to the scar and keep it from spreading, but thats all I can do. If we manage to find a skilled Necromancer, however, they may be able to remove it safely without harming our little friend here." Solas explained. Alexis sighed and nodded. "He's in no danger from it at the moment, I'd rather we be in the safety of Haven before attempting to isolate it, however." He added. "Okay. Thank you." He nodded before standing to leave. "Alright, I need to go and speak with Master Dennit about getting mounts for the Inquisition. Would you mind heading to Haven with the Mother? Take the kid and Ignis with you. Glaciers will stay with me." Alexis asked, turning to Lucerne. The Qunari nodded. Alexis grinned and turned to Harry, "Alright, dear. You'll be heading to our Home Base, while I'm busy. If you ever need anything, don't be afraid to ask." The boy nodded. Lucerne knocked on the tent pole, likely to wake Glacies if Alexis had to guess. Which turned out to be true, when Glacies white furry head poked out a few moments later. While they waited for Glacies to appear Lucerne had retrieved and given Alexis her Fox Staff, causing the young woman to smile. The little fox Pokemon cheered and tackled into her, knocking her to the ground. "Yes, I'm glad to see you too. You'll be staying with me while your mate and the others head to Haven, Okay." Alexis said. The Pokemon yipped, licking her cheek. "Herald! We are ready to go!" She turned to see Cassandra waving at her hand up. She nodded and turned back to her family, giving them one last goodbye before leaving them.

×It isn't stated outright, but the Pokemon are a Snowy Vulpix and a Fire Vulpix, if their names didn't give them away.

×Alexis is actually a SI and a Year older than myself, aka 19. She was eighteen when she arrived, and has stated in the previous chapter, has been in Thedas for a year.

×Dragon Age does in fact exist on Alexis' homework, it's just the first game she picked up was DAO and she lasted maybe 10 minutes before she got annoyed with the graphics and went back to Elder Scrolls (Specifically Skyrim). She never got around to picking it up again.

×Magic like what exist in Thedas does exist on Earth, but where the will needed to light a candle on Earth ended up being the will to create a large fireball on That as. So it took her a few months of practicing to get a decent handle on her magic in Thedas.

And That will be all for now. There is no set update schedule, it all depends on my will to write.
