The Day It All Went Wrong V

As we travel through an abandoned mining complex, we come across and quickly dispatch several lesser demons... Man, these guys are getting good... Or, maybe they were already good? If this whole shit storm doesn't get me killed... I may just have to hire them... I'm sure they'd fit right in with my crew... Maker... I hope they're okay... Well, after exiting the complex we encountered the missing scouting party Liliana lost. They were surrounded by demons pouring out of the rift. It's actually getting easier to close the rifts, now it's like my arm is being crushed, but the pain is getting slightly more bearable... Her name was Creiger, she was nice enough, especially after finding out I was the prisoner who fell out of the fade... We sent her and her people back the way we came... I hope they make it back alright.

And finally, we entered the ruins of the Temple of Sacred Ashes...

Which... Was currently in ashes...

Yeah, regretted it as soon as I wrote it...

Anyways...

We entered the main chambers where we were able to meet up with Liliana and her group who took the direct path...

"Glad you could make it, are you ready for this?" Liliana says heading to take up position on one of the pieces of rubble.

"As ready as I'll ever be, let's get this possible suicide mission over with... I've got places to be and people to find." Malika takes the oversized staff almost like a spear and walks farther into the epicenter of the explosion...

The rest of the temple has massive deposits of red lyrium, the size of mountains sticking out from the rubble...

"Holy shit Seeker... That's red lyrium..." Varric goes pale as we get closer and closer to a rift that appears to be linked to the Breach.

"I know Varric..." Cassandra's voice takes on hints of irritation.

"But what's it doing here?!" Varric becomes much more agitated, the closer we get to the pit.

"I don't know..." Cassandra mutters to herself.

"Hey, guys, I don't like this... It sings... Like... Lyrium... But, it's so dark... And twisted... Aahhh, it hurts..." Malika stops to rub her pounding head and her left hand begins to glow much more fiercely.

An ominous echo permeates the area, a dark voice speaking of sacrifices and then the Divine's voice... Crying out in pain... And then... I hear my voice... Saying... "What's going on here?" And everyone else stares at me... As I jump into the pit... And all hell breaks loose...

A massive demon emerges from the rift, and Liliana and her people begin to pelt the monstrosity, Cassandra charges forward with her shield, sword at the ready, Solas leaps atop a rocky outcropping, and strikes the demon from afar, and Varric and I go back to back against the minor demons pouring out every time I used the mark to try to seal the damned Breach... But it wasn't until the demon was finally defeated that I could finally concentrate enough to seal the Breach... But... It took everything out of me... And I lost consciousness... And my cheery life as a mercenary captain was never the same...
