Kukho ukukhanya okuluhlaza okuluhlaza, emva koko ndize ngesiquphe kume phakathi komoya. Andiqinisekanga ukuba ndiphi. Andisekho kwiAdamant Fortress kwakhona. Nokuba kuphi e-Orlais. Nje kwenye indawo. Ndiyaqonda, ndirhawuzelela ngesiquphe esiswini sam, ukuba ayisiyiyo kuphela ukuba ndijinga ejonge ezantsi kwaye ndintanta kodwa ukuba ndikwiFade. Shit. Ngaba ndiyenzile loo nto?
U-Hawke, uDorian noStroud bathatha isigqibo sokuba le nto mayibe yinto yokuba emzimbeni kwi-Fade kwaye ungabambeki ngaphakathi kwamaphupha akhe nabani na. Bayandibuza ukuba yile nto bendiyibona xa ndilapha. Kutheni le nto ibalulekile? Konke ekufuneka sigxile kuko kukuphuma apha. Stroud ukhankanye umsantsa owafikayo ngenamba ngewawubakho kwiholo eliphambili kwilizwe lethu kwaye kufanele ukuba sizame oko. Ngokuqinisekileyo ukubetha kuhlala ngaphandle ungenzi nto kwaphela. Inkunzi iyacaphuka. Akukho mntu wathetha nantoni na malunga nokutsalwa kwi-Fade ngokujoyina i-Inquisition. Ngaba ndijongeka ngathi ndithunyelwe imemo yokuntywila? Khange ndiyicwangcise le.
Siqala ngakwicala lokuqhekeka. UBull udlala ngokuhlekisayo edlala incoko phakathi kwakhe namadoda akhe malunga nokusayina kwi-Inquisition kwaye yayiyintoni umbono omkhulu, kwaye iBlackwall ibona ukuba itafile kunye nezitulo eziseludongeni aziqhelekanga. Akukho shiti. Ndiyatyikitya, ngethemba elikhulu kakhulu kubo ukuba bavale i-fuck up, kwaye balale kwiidemon ezimbalwa ezikufutshane ukuze ndizive ngcono.
Inye into apha enqumamisa ukucaphuka kwam kwaye iyandothusa ngokwenene: I-Divine Justinia ilapha! Uyewasibulisa. Stroud umbiza ngokuba yidemon, kodwa u-Justinia uphendula ngelithi sonke simi apha kwi-Fade okungaphezulu kokungqina ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba umntu aphile apha. Nokuba yeyiphi indlela, utsho, akanaxesha lokungqina ubukho bakhe. Ulapha nje ukunceda. UJustinia, okanye nokuba ungubani, ukhankanya ukuba andinalwazi lwento eyayiqhubeka kwiTempile yoMlotha oNgcwele ngomhla weConclave. Mhla ndafumana i-ankile kunye nophawu lwam. Ukuqhekeka kwam kuphakamile. Uyazi njani loo nto?
Uyayazi le nto kuba kubonakala ngathi idemon ekhonza uCorypheus ihlala kule kona yeFade. Idemon yaseNightmare yathatha iinkumbulo zam, zaxhonywa kunye neeYadi, njl. Njl. Ngokusisiseko yinto enkulu kakhulu. Ndifuna ukuyikhonkxa eludongeni emva koko ndigoduke. Intloko yam ibuhlungu xa ndicinga ngeClan yam. Khange ndikwazi ukubasindisa, kwaye ngekhe ndibasindise abanye. UJustinia undixelela ukuba andinakukulimaza, ukuba ekuphela kwendlela kukukhokelela abantu bam ngokuchasene noCorypheus. Bullshit. Ndinike into ebuhlungu. Ukwandixelela ukuba kufuneka ndithathe inxenye yam yeedemon eyebiweyo: iinkumbulo zam. Emva koko umi apho ngelixa sibulala iidemon ezimbalwa ukuze ndikwazi ukuyenza kanye loo nto. Ndikhumbula yonke into ngoku ngokungathi bendizibonela ngokwam iziveza okokuqala.
UJustinia wabanjwa ziiGadi eziFunxa igazi (ndikhumbuze ukuba ndenze into embi kubo xa bebuya) ukuze uCorypheus amsebenzise ukukrazula isigqubuthelo, enze i-ankile kwaye ayisebenzise ukwenza zonke izinto ezimbi. Ndiphazamisile kwaye ndathatha i-orb emva kokuba u-Justinia wayibethe ngapha kwegumbi kwaye ke ndanikwa i-ankile. Ndinomsindo. Akukho nto iyasincedayo-konke oko kundixelela ukuba i-ankile ivelaphi na. Hayi indlela yokutshabalalisa uCorypheus. UJustinia undixelela ukuba ndinokuninzi kakhulu ukuba ndingakubuyisa. Ndiyathemba ukuba unyanisile.
Okwexeshana emva kokuba sihle ngezinyuko kwaye ilizwi elinomzimba liqala ukuthetha. Indixelela ukuba ndisisidenge ngokucinga ngoloyiko lwam, amaphupha am amabi zizinto endizifunayo. Uye wabasusa bobabini bandinceda kwaye baziphakela. Asoze andomeleze. Idemon yasebusuku ifuna ukubethwa ngokufanelekileyo.
Siyacinezela, ilizwi ledemon lisithuka lize lisikhokele njengoko siqhubela phambili. Sonke sifuna ukuyibulala le nto ngoku. Yibethe phantsi ukwanelisa umsindo. UJustinia usilindile emqolombeni omkhulu olandelayo. Iidemon ezininzi zokubulala, iinkumbulo ezingakumbi zokufumana. Ngeli xesha, ndiyazibona mna noJustinia sisinda kwi-Fade ngakwikhefu, ndibaleka kwiidemon. U-Justinia uwela ngasemva kwaye uyafa, oko kuthetha ukuba ayinguye lo ngokwenene. Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, ebenyanisile kwilizwi lakhe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. I-ally yeentlobo ade azibonise enye indlela.
U-Hawke kunye no-Stroud bacinga ukuba lelona xesha lililo lokuphikisana ngokubandakanyeka kukaGrey Warden. Bavalela uJustinia ukunceda uCorypheus kwaye babanjwa eAdamant bezama ukuphakamisa umkhosi weedemon. I-Hawke luhlobo lwelungelo lokuba baphume ngokupheleleyo esandleni kodwa ikwangabo kuphela abanokumisa iiblights. Kwaye eneneni akanalo igumbi elininzi lokuthetha ngokuzibandakanya kwakhe kwimvukelo kaMage kunye nokusilela ukubeka uCorypheus phantsi kwindawo yokuqala. Ngoku kufuneka ndenze umsebenzi wakho omdaka, Hawke.
Njengazo zonke iidemon ezingenangqondo, idemon yaseNightmare ngokungacacanga ityhila indlela yokuphelisa umkhosi weedemon kukususa kuye. Ukuqaqamba. Ayibobungangamsha kangako ingcwaba elingaqhelekanga elinamagama amaninzi amalungu eNkundla Yokuncina Amakholwa kunye nento ebonakala ngathi luloyiko olukhulu kubo. Andikho apho ngombulelo, kwaye andikwazi ukucinga ukuba abanye baziva njani. Siphula isithintelo sokugqibela kwaye sijongane nenye yeedemon ezoyikisayo ngaphambi kokuba sijongane ubuso ngobuso nedemon yesigcawu.
I-Hawke ithi mandiqhubeke, uzakusigubungela. UStroud umxelela ukuba lo ngumsebenzi weWarden, ukuba uyakuhlala, kodwa akanalo. Ufuna ukuba akhe iiWadi kwakhona. Andikwazi ukuthi andivumelani naye, ngoko ndiyamvumela ukuba ahlale nangona kuya kuthetha ukufa kwakhe. Idini elihle, kwaye elinye andinakucinga ngokuzenza. Njengoko iphazamisa idemon yesigcawu, sibalekela ngakwimphikiso. Buyela eAdamant Fortress.
Siphuma kwisikhewu nje ngexesha lokusebenzisa uphawu lwam kwiidemon ezisalwa namajoni eNkundla yokuNcina Amakholwa. Sifumana ingxelo: U-Erimond ugcinwe eluvalelweni, iArchdemon yabhabha yaya, kwaye iiYadi zanceda ukulwa ecaleni kweNkundla yokuNcina Amakholwa kwaye zilinde iiodolo zam. I-Hawke ilahlekile. Ndiyazilungisa. Hawke uswelekile.
Incoko ijika ngokukhawuleza ibe yinkxalabo ngekamva le-Wardens. UStroud ngoyena nkokeli isindileyo kodwa usakhangela kum-ngelixa ii-Wards zenze iimpazamo ezimbi, ubukhulu becala kungenxa yokungenelela kukaClarel, Erimond noCorypheus. Banokunceda iNkundla yokuNcina amakholwa ngelixa belungisa iimpazamo.
Emva kwexesha, u-Leliana wandixelela ukuba ndimphethe kakubi uCorypheus. Yayiyimbono leyo, akunjalo? Undixelela ukuba konke kulungele ukuthunyelwa kwibhola eHalamshiraal ukunqanda ukubethwa kukaCelene. Ndicinga ukuba kungcono siye kuthintela yonke i-Orlais ekuweleni kwisiphithiphithi. Mhlawumbi bekufanele ukuba undenze uKumkanikazi.
