Sereda was finally back home at Orzammar, she can't describe the feeling. It was hard to believe that a year ago that she was accused of murdering her brother and was sent to her death to fight the darkspawn. In some ways she was still suffering that punishment, but now she was back and still part of the proud House of Aeducan.

She was at the moment in the Assembly as they were discussing certain events. Those invents including making both her and her lover, Faren, Paragons.

"Making Sereda Aeducan a Paragon is understandable, but a casteless?" said Lord Volleny.

"Watch it Volleny," said Bhelen narrowing his eyes at Lord Volleny. "That is my brother-in-law you're talking about."

"Forgive me, your Majesty, but I'm just saying that making him Warrior Caste is surely enough."

"I disagree," said Bhelen. "He's a capable warrior which he proved in the Proving and he wiped out the local Carter gang. He was also there during the final battles of the Blight and fought the Archdemon itself."

"No one is questioning his ability," said Lady Dace.

"Enough," said Bandelor, the Steward. "I think it is time for us to put to a vote."

Sereda looked at Gorim, her newly reinstated second. "How do you things will play out?"

"Hard to say, but I doubt many would agree with Volleny, he's always been a bit too traditional," said Gorim.

Sure enough Gorim proved to be right as many deshyrs raise their hand and agreement of making Faren a Paragon.

"It is decided," said Bandelor. "Faren Brosca is hereby made a Paragon and as search all his relations are now a Noble House."

Out of the corner of her eye Sereda saw Volleny grumbling angrily about the decision.

"With that done we have other matters to discuss," said Bhelen.

As the months went by Bhelen acquired a few changes that made several Nobles slightly uneasy. These changes included more trades of the surface, opening their doors to anyone wishing to do business and allowing casteless to join the army.

Sereda had just returned from Kal'Hirol ready to present report to Bhelen. With this new information that she had enquired from the thaig it will change the views of the casteless completely.

"Ah, sister, what news of Kal'Hirol?" Bhelen asked when she entered.

"Terrible news," said Sereda. "Firstly there were talking darkspawn."

Bhelen looked up. "Talking darkspawn?"

"That's not the worst of it, there was also new breeds the likes of which I've never seen and it looks like two warring tribes fighting one another."

"What of the members of the Legion of the Dead that accompanied you?" Bhelen asked.

"Only one survived and she's joined the Grey Wardens," said Sereda.

"I've never heard of a member of the Legion of the Dead joining Grey Wardens," said Bhelen.

"Nor I, but I fear the surface has not yet finished with its trouble of darkspawn," said Sereda. "I, however, have found this."

She then pulled out the engraving she made at Kal'Hirol with all the casteless names. "It's a list of names that held the line against the horde when Kal'Hirol fell, all casteless. If it weren't for them Orzammar would have fallen as well."

"This must be given to the Shaper of it at once," said Bhelen. "This very well might prove to the Assembly that the Casteless are not as worthless as we make them to be."

Several months later had passed and the Assembly had finally made a decision of re-taking Kal'Hirol. Bhelen had placed Sereda in charge of the retake and their forces were not only backed by members of the noble and warrior caste, but they also have the casteless and Faren's Grey Wardens which were being led by him himself.

They were at the moment fighting their way through darkspawn into the Deep Road that connected Kal'Hirol with Orzammar.

"Push them back!" Sereda yelled as she plunged his sword, Vigilance, into a hurlock. "We must recapture Kal'Hirol!"

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Faren smashing a few genlocks with his maul, which used to belong to a brother. Beside him was Sigrun and Orghen, who were cutting their way through a pack of hurlocks. An emissary was about to cast its magic upon them, but an arrow, shot by Nathaniel, landed straight in its forehead and it crumbled to the floor.

An ogre then came charging towards them angrily, knocking aside several dwarfs and was about to kill way noble from House Dace, but out of nowhere a casteless drove his sword into the beast and it collapsed to the ground.

The dwarf from House Dace just stared at the casteless, who had just saved his life. A shriek was about to stab her, but Gorim plunged his sword right through its chest.

"Watch yourself, my lady," said Gorim.

Sereda nodded and knocked a genlock back with her shield.

They kept on fighting until they reached into the thaig itself. Most of the dwarfs were staring at it in awe, doubt this was the first great thaig apart from Orzammar that they had seen.

"Spread out!" Sereda commanded. "We're going to retake this thaig today. Each squad should have a Grey Warden in their ranks so that they are not ambushed!"

She could hear the cry of the dwarfs and they ran to retake the thaig.

Faren was accompanying Sereda and her men and she felt quite confident having him in her ranks. It somehow made her feel safer and she can help but admire the war he had become. To think she first met him when he was a Carta thug, but now he was a Paragon and the Warden Commander of Ferelden.

"I'm pleased that you were able to join us," said Sereda as sliced off the head of a hurlock.

"Wouldn't miss it," said Faren as he knocked a shriek backwards with his maul.

"I'll be sure to award you once this is done," said Sereda.

"You're just saying that so that I won't die," said Faren as he use the hilt of his maul to block the sword of a hurlock.

"True, but I was sincere about rewarding you," said Sereda as she stabbed the hurlock through the chest.

"I'm holding you to that," Faren smiled.

"Then you just have to make sure you don't die on me," said Sereda.

"I'll promise that I'll try not to die," said Faren.

Sereda gave him a coy smile. "I suppose is the best going to get."

It took an entire week, but the eventually managed to conquer Kal'Hirol and drive the darkspawn away. The casualties were high, but they would have been a lot worse if it wasn't for the Grey Warden and the casteless soldiers in the ranks.

Both Sereda and Faren return to Orzammar together to give the report. With the recapture of Kal'Hirol it raise the morale of every dwarf in Orzammar, giving the impression that if they were able to conquer one then they can start with conquering every single thaig in the Deep Roads.

Sereda then invited Faren into her room at the palace, an invitation he was quick to take. Sereda was standing in the middle of her bedroom wearing her nightdress and Faren appeared, still wearing his armour and just stared at her transfixed.

"Are you only going to stare or coming into bed with me?" Sereda asked slyly.

It took a few seconds for Faren to snap out of his trance and he quickly removed his arm as he approached the bed and removed her nightdress and underwear.

Faren had his face in her womb and digging his tongue into it. She breathed deeply with every lick and felt quite ticklish with his beard brushing against her legs. Faren then grasped both her breasts with his hands giving them a deep squeeze on causing her to moan even deeper.

Slowly Faren began to trace her body and then plunged his length into her almost breaking her mind. Slowly he began to push in and out, but that is appointed her more than anything else.

"Come on, you can be a bit rougher than that," said Sereda seductively.

"Be careful what you wish for," said Faren.

He then began to pick up speed and Sereda felt her body being ripped in two. However, she was feeling more pleasure than pain with each and every first. As he pushed and pulled Faren grasped one of her legs with his hand with the other squeezed her one of her breasts.

This caused her to arc her back as the rush of pleasure rushed into her. However with each and every thrust she also felt disappointment, because their duties made it almost impossible for them to be with one another.

Though she was confident that he would make the odd visit here and there, but she imagined they would mostly be for recruiting more than anything else. With that being said, this only meant that they would be more rough with one another and therefore more enjoyable in her opinion.

The mine rushed back to Faren who now pulled into a passionate kiss, but she wasn't gonna let him win that easily and while he was distracted with the kiss she forced him to roll over so that now that she was on top.

"Let me show you how it's done," she said leaning in towards him.

She then began to move her hips and moaned with each and every movement and felt his hands tracing around her ass, squeezing her buttocks. Her hands traced around his hairy chest and she wrapped around her fingers around the hairs.

They weren't sure who came first, but both of them were exhausted from this enthusiasm. Sereda then fell down on top of him and she felt his arms flapping around her.

She couldn't help but smile at his handsome face and slowly the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. By the Ancestors, she was probably the happiest dwarf alive and there was no way she would give up this evening for anything in the world.
