2	6117986	It never ends.
3	6117987	
4	6117989	I escaped a land of dark magic only to have it hunt me at every turn. It is a plague burned into my flesh and my soul.
5	6117990	
6	6117992	And now I find myself in the company of yet another mage.
7	6100382	
8	6117993	
9	6117994	
10	6117996	
11	6117997	
12	6117999	
13	6118000	
14	6118002	And now I find myself in the company of even more mages.
15	6118003	
16	6100341	You can speak to me directly.
17	6100342	
18	6118005	Are... you talking about me?
19	6118006	
20	6100353	Ah, here it comes.
21	6100354	
22	6100356	I saw you casting spells inside. I should have realized sooner what you really were.
23	6100357	
24	6100385	Tell me, then: What manner of mage are you? What is it that you seek?
25	6118008	
26	6118010	I'll let you figure that out for yourself.
27	6118011	
28	6118013	I don't know. What do you think I seek?
29	6118014	
30	6118016	You want me to tell you and spoil all the fun?
31	6118017	
32	6118019	You are skilled—I know that much.
33	6118020	
34	6118022	You have an issue with mages?
35	6118024	I have an issue with magic and those who are careless with it.
36	6118025	
37	6118027	Fame and fortune, like anyone.
38	6197422	
39	6197423	
40	6118029	I see.
41	6118030	
42	6118032	I'm just trying to get by.
43	6118034	Yet I have seen many crimes done in the name of survival.
44	6118035	
45	6118037	I'm not <emp>seeking</emp> anything.
46	6118039	Yet danger will undoubtedly find you.
47	6118040	
48	6118042	
49	6118043	
50	6118045	If you have a problem with my brother, you have a problem with me.
51	6118046	
52	6118048	If you have a problem with my sister, you have a problem with me.
53	6118049	
54	6118051	Not all mages are alike, or I'd be the first to act.
55	6118052	
56	6118054	We're not all the same, nor are we worthy of your scorn.
57	6118055	
58	6118057	Hawke isn't the only mage around here.
59	6118058	
60	6100359	You harbor a viper in your midst. It will turn on you and strike when you least expect. That is in its nature.
61	6100360	I don't remember you objecting too strenuously while we were fighting.
62	6100376	I know the danger.
63	6118060	Well, thank you for the vote of confidence.
64	6118061	
65	6118063	We <emp>all</emp> know the danger.
66	6118064	
67	6118066	No pressure or anything.
68	6118067	
69	6118069	
70	6118071	I didn't ask for your opinion.
71	6118072	
72	6118074	My friends are my business, aren't they?
73	6118075	
74	6118077	And this affects you how, exactly?
75	6118078	
76	6118080	My sister is stronger than you think.
77	6118082	You tell him, Brother.
78	6118083	
79	6118085	You tell him, Sis.
80	6118086	
81	6118088	Some of us may surprise you, Fenris.
82	6118089	
83	6118091	Merrill's quite capable of handling herself.
84	6118093	I am? I mean— yes, of course I am!
85	6118094	
86	6118096	And she isn't the only one.
87	6118097	
88	6118099	You're talking about a Grey Warden and a healer.
89	6118101	And a few other things. But let's not mention those.
90	6118102	
91	6118104	I'm not blind. I know magic has its uses, and there are undoubtedly mages with good intentions.
92	6118105	
93	6118107	But even the best-intentioned mage can fall prey to temptation, and then their power is a curse to inflict upon others.
94	6118108	
95	6118110	No one's stopping you from moving on, you know.
96	6118111	
97	6118113	Is that how you feel? It's terrible what those mages did to you.
98	6118114	
99	6118116	Considering all the curses inflicted on <emp>us</emp>, I'd say it's an even trade.
100	6118117	
101	6118119	I imagine I appear ungrateful. If so, I apologize, for nothing could be further from the truth.
102	6118120	
103	6118122	I did not find Danarius, but I still owe you a debt. Here is all the coin I have, as Anso promised.
104	6118123	
105	6118125	Should you find yourself in need of assistance, I would gladly render it.
106	6100276	You've said Danarius is a magister, but little else.
107	6100278	In Tevinter, the magisters hold all the power: over the Chantry, over the Imperial Court, over life itself.
108	6100279	
109	6100281	It is nothing for one to own a slave. Danarius had many, but none he valued so much as me.
110	6100282	Then how did you get away?
111	6100284	Is it not enough that I did?
112	6100285	
113	6100287	I carved my path to freedom in blood. I left that life behind, yet his bounty hunters follow me no matter where I go.
114	6100288	
115	6100290	I will run no longer.
116	6100291	Your old master must want something more than just a runaway slave.
117	6118126	He doesn't want me at all, just the markings on my skin.
118	6118127	
119	6100233	They are lyrium, burned into my flesh to provide the power that Danarius required of his pet.
120	6100234	
121	6100236	And now he wishes his precious investment returned, even if he must rip it from my corpse.
122	6100237	Seems like a waste of a perfectly handsome elf.
123	6100239	<desc>Chuckles</desc>
124	6100240	
125	6100242	You aren't afraid I'll sell you out?
126	6100244	I am now.
127	6100245	
128	6118129	Not so far.
129	6118130	
130	6100247	Perhaps you can find a way to pay him back?
131	6100249	I will pay him back— in blood.
132	6100250	
133	6100252	You have no idea what he's done to me, what I went through just to get away.
134	6100255	How could I? I don't know the first thing about you.
135	6100257	I was only trying to help you.
136	6100259	I think I'm beginning to get the picture.
137	6100261	I... I'm sorry. That was unworthy of me.
138	6100262	
139	6100264	I don't see that going very well for you.
140	6100266	Neither do I.
141	6100267	
142	6118132	The truth is I know nothing of the ritual that placed these markings on me. It was Danarius's choice, one he now regrets.
143	6100306	Do you think your master will keep chasing you?
144	6100308	He is too proud not to.
145	6100309	
146	6100311	Perhaps one day the hunt will cost him more than he is willing to pay, but I doubt that matters any longer.
147	6100297	I've seen some of your abilities. Do they come from those markings?
148	6100299	Some.
149	6100300	
150	6100305	All I know is that, even in the Imperium, warriors such as myself are rare. Perhaps they believe I should feel honored?
151	6100320	I'm planning an expedition I might need help with.
152	6100322	Fair enough.
153	6118133	
154	6101941	Should you ever have need of me, I will be here. If Danarius wishes his mansion back, he is free to return and claim it.
155	6101942	
156	6101944	Beyond that, I am at your disposal.
157	6068129	
158	6100312	I think it's time for us to part ways.
159	6100314	As you wish.
160	6100315	
161	6100317	Banavis fedari. May the ground rise to meet your feet.
162	6100318	
163	6118135	You didn't seem all that thrilled with me a moment ago.
164	6118137	You are not Danarius. Whether you are anything like him remains to be seen.
165	6118138	Are you going to have a problem with my companions?
166	6118140	You should know some of my companions are mages.
167	6118142	
168	6118143	
169	6118145	I will watch them carefully if we travel together. I can promise no more.
170	6098892	
171	6098893	
172	6098895	He sends spirits to do his fighting for him.
173	6098896	
174	6098898	Danarius! Can you hear me? Your pets cannot stop us!
175	6098899	
176	6067899	
177	6067900	
178	6067902	Danarius! Show yourself!
179	6067903	Danarius!
180	6067904	Come and face me!
181	6098901	Where are you, "master"?
182	6098902	I am not afraid of you, Danarius!
183	6101945	
184	6101946	
185	6101948	No one has left the mansion, but I've heard nothing within.
186	6101949	
187	6101951	Danarius may know we're here. I wouldn't put it past him.
188	6101952	I could stand to know a little more about this Danarius.
189	6101954	He is a magister of the Tevinter Imperium.
190	6101955	
191	6174755	Oh, is that all? Nothing to worry about, then.
192	6174756	
193	6101957	There, he is a wealthy mage with great influence. Here, he is but a man who sweats like any other when death comes for him.
194	6101958	We shouldn't wait any longer, then.
195	6101960	Agreed.
196	6101961	He may have prepared some magical defenses.
197	6101963	They will not keep me from him.
198	6101964	What's the worst that could happen?
199	6101966	I do not fear death. That does not mean we should be reckless.
200	6101967	
201	6097038	
202	6097039	
203	6097041	What took you so long? We must enter quickly, before anyone has a chance to escape.
204	6067144	
205	6067145	
206	6096176	I apologize.
207	6096177	
208	6096179	When I asked Anso to provide a distraction for the hunters, I had no idea they'd be so... numerous.
209	6096180	<emp>You</emp> were responsible for this?
210	6096191	I'm the reason you're here, yes.
211	6096192	
212	6096194	I take it these men were looking for you.
213	6096196	Correct.
214	6096197	
215	6096199	
216	6096201	We've faced worse.
217	6096202	
218	6096204	It appears we're unscathed.
219	6096205	
220	6096207	Don't worry. We do this sort of thing often.
221	6096208	
222	6096210	Impressive.
223	6096211	
224	6096213	My name is Fenris. These men were Imperial bounty hunters seeking to recover a magister's lost property, namely myself.
225	6096214	
226	6096216	They were trying to lure me into the open. Crude as their methods were, I could not face them alone.
227	6096217	
228	6096219	Thankfully, Anso chose wisely.
229	6096220	Everything Anso said was a lie, then?
230	6096407	Not everything. Your employer was simply not who you believed.
231	6096222	That seems like a lot of effort to find one slave.
232	6096408	It is.
233	6117921	Does this have something to do with those markings?
234	6117923	Yes. I imagine I must look strange to you.
235	6117924	
236	6117926	I did not receive these markings by choice. Even so, they have served me well. Without them I would still be a slave.
237	6096224	If you couldn't fight them, why not just run?
238	6096409	There comes a time when you must stop running, when you turn and face the tiger.
239	6096226	I don't appreciate being lied to.
240	6096228	If they were really trying to recapture you, then I'm happy I helped.
241	6096413	
242	6096414	
243	6096416	I have met few in my travels who have sought anything more than personal gain.
244	6096417	
245	6096230	Anso's job did seem a little too easy.
246	6096419	Perhaps the deception was unnecessary. If so, I am sorry. I have become too accustomed to hiding.
247	6096420	
248	6096422	If I may ask: What was in the chest? The one they kept in the house?
249	6096423	
250	6096425	It was empty.
251	6096426	
252	6096431	I suppose it was too much to hope for. Even so, I had to know.
253	6097047	You were expecting something else?
254	6097049	I was, but I shouldn't have. It was bait, nothing more.
255	6097042	I've done what you wanted. The job's over.
256	6097044	Not just yet.
257	6097045	
258	6117927	You didn't need to lie to get my help.
259	6117929	That remains to be seen.
260	6117930	
261	6096432	All that for an empty chest?
262	6117932	No. There's more.
263	6117933	
264	6097052	
265	6097053	
266	6097055	It's as I thought. My former master accompanied them to the city.
267	6097056	
268	6097058	I know you have questions, but I must confront him before he flees. I will need your help.
269	6117935	It sounds like you intend to do more than just talk.
270	6117937	Danarius wants to strip the flesh from my bones and has sent so many hunters that I have lost count.
271	6117938	
272	6117940	And before that, he kept me on a leash like a Qunari mage, a personal pet to mock Qunari custom.
273	6117941	
274	6150715	Ouch.
275	6150716	
276	6117943	So, yes, I intend to do more than just talk.
277	6097059	
278	6117944	If it means fighting more slavers, I'll help you.
279	6207017	
280	6197037	
281	6207019	
282	6197369	
283	6207021	
284	6117947	Let's do this.
285	6117948	
286	6117950	Very well. I'll help you.
287	6117951	
288	6117953	Looks like it's going to be a long night.
289	6117954	
290	6097061	
291	6117956	We're done here.
292	6117957	
293	6197411	
294	6197412	
295	6197040	
296	6197041	
297	6117959	I'm not going to help you kill someone.
298	6117960	
299	6117962	I think I'm already too involved.
300	6117963	
301	6117965	Please. I... am not used to asking for help, but I am asking now.
302	6117966	
303	6117968	Danarius will never stop hunting me. This is my only chance. I cannot do it without you.
304	6117969	This is going to cost you.
305	6097068	I already gave you my answer.
306	6067195	You did. Here, then, is your payment. You did as you were asked.
307	6097070	
308	6097072	May the wind speed your travels, my friend.
309	6067196	
310	6097073	If I'm compensated for my trouble, then I'll help.
311	6197372	
312	6197373	
313	6197043	
314	6197044	
315	6097075	I will find a way to repay you. I swear it.
316	6097076	
317	6067187	The magister is staying at a mansion in Hightown. Meet me there as soon as you can. We must enter before morning.
318	6067191	
319	6117971	You lured me into a trap, and now you want my help?
320	6197046	
321	6197047	
322	6117973	If Anso had told you to divert an ambush of Tevinter bounty hunters, would you have done it?
323	6117974	I would have charged more.
324	6117976	My funds are limited, but I will find a way to repay you if you help me now. I swear it.
325	6117977	It should have been my decision.
326	6117979	Good point.
327	6117981	Had I known of you earlier, I might have asked you personally. I had only Anso to rely on, I fear.
328	6117982	
329	6117984	I am not lying to you now. Please help me do this.
