1st Story [voice]

[Unfortunately, Leliana had arrived during a time without a welcoming committee. Though she saw the flyer, she didn't have the immediate confrontation she needed due to the importance of the event she was taken from. Within the journal, she could only see a few entries and none were telling her that this was a completely different world. It's not like it was something she would come to the conclusion of while waking up in an unknown port town, and the great importance of the event she was taken from caused her to quickly add her own entry to the journal. She could have written it in the magical book, but it wouldn't have really captured the tone of her voice. Its desperation and urgency were very important. She pushed aside her initial uncertainty on the capabilities of the book, and spoke to it.]

So this legend, that poem... is true?

[She sounds almost disbelieving of it, but quickly goes on.]

I've never heard of it before, in any of the places I've been or people I've met. If it is supposed to be our only way back home, and it's been shattered, then I can only say that there's no time to find the pieces! There must be another way. All of Thedas, no, all of the world is in great danger! The blight... it must be stopped, before it grows too large.

[She wasn't sure what the light meant. She hoped that it had meant the end of the archdemon, but it could have been something else. It could have been the distraction needed to capture her and who knew who else, for example. Until she was sure, she had to make sure others knew of the potential danger.]

Everything you know, everything you've lived for will be destroyed. Killed or corrupted beyond recognition. All the beauty in the world, gone.

[She paused for a short moment.]

There is a small chance that the archdemon has been destroyed, but I don't know for sure. I was taken before I could find out.

[Her voice grew a little rougher for that last sentence. Her disproval very clear in her tone.]

But we can't take the risk if it wasn't destroyed!

[sheparrrrrd]

Your world too, huh?

For what it's worth, it looks like things aren't as dire as they should be.

[The universe isn't being destroyed, for one thing.]

[blue_satin_shoes]

No, it's not. I've found out that the archdemon was destroyed.

But what do you mean my 'world'? Are you from across the ocean?

voice

[sheparrrrrd]

Not exactly. Most likely I'm from another planet, unless you're from Earth.

[blue_satin_shoes]

We don't call it that in Thedas. But what makes you think it's another planet?

[sheparrrrrd]

Well, we don't have an archdemon for one.

[blue_satin_shoes]

No? Not even any stories of them? Old gods or darkspawn or mages... how about Tevinter?

[She was sure one of them had to ring a bell...]

[sheparrrrrd]

Sounds a bit old-fashioned compared to what I'm used to.

The sort of ships I'm used to travel between stars and entire planets, for instance.

But anyways, glad to hear you don't have anymore "archdemon" problems.

[Whatever the hell that is.]

[blue_satin_shoes]

You could actually travel between the stars?

[She sounded both astonished and interested.]

We have no capabilities of that in Thedas. How's it like?

[And suddenly, it was all about the stories he could tell her.]

SORRY FOR SO LATE

[sheparrrrrd]

A little jarring the first few times for some people, but then you get used to it.
