"It reminds me of the weather back at Skyhold", Cullen said miserably ,shivering in his armor  .They were in Eastmarch .The hold of the High King .The city of Windhelm was still a couple of hours away .  They had struck camp as night advanced .  Siri and Solas had built a fire ,as it was their turn . The night was fairly quiet except for the distant howling of wolves . 

" It's not Winterhold though , wait until we get there ",Siri said as she was skinning a rabbit she had killed for their dinner . It was such a shame to have done that,the rabbit was a living breathing creature , but if she didn't kill it they would have been without any food .  " Brrr ,don't say that ", Varric groaned as he tried huddling  closer to the fire . Siri smiled at that . He was such a drama queen sometimes . " You know if you want you can learn magic ,Varric , all peoples in Tamriel can ,then you can warm yourself up a little ", she says .  The camp grew quiet as everyone stared at her . Did she just say what I think she did ?, Dorian thought . He once had said something like that to the Inquisitor ,but it didn't involve Tamriel or its peoples .

" Dwarves don't do magic ", Varric said bluntly giving her an disgruntled look  . Siri sighs and nods ,although she doesn't seem convinced . " So are we going to hear more of the journal entries ?", Vivienne changes the subject . Siri nods ,but finishes her task first . They after all have to eat .

It's an hour later before she opens the first journal again ,feeling odd because of reading it .

Year 3E433 of Akatosh
Day Middas 6 of Hearthfire
I'm a Blade now ,secretly working with a  argonian mage  Tar-Meena from the Arcane University  to find out where the Mythic Dawn is meeting .  Baurus and I had uncovered the whole plot around the Emperor's Assassination . It turned out the Mythic Dawn Cult had been working with Mehrunes Dagon the Daedric Prince of Destruction ,to overthrow the balance of the world and conquer it to rule it .I was send to find two out of four books called the Mythic Dawn Commentaries .I had to bribe a Bosmer to give me the third book and he out of fear handed me a paper with the other books location written on it , An Altmer had it in the sewers under the Imperial City .He was a Mythic Dawn Cultist himself . He wasn't the only one there .Baurus and I had to kill them before we could get out . Nasty place the sewers .
Tar-Meena is close to uncovering the secret and I hope I can leave this stuffy old front Lobby of the University already . 

Siri closes the journal and look at the others . "Man ,walking through sewers is really not my idea of an adventure ", Varric says  shuddering while imagining the stink . " I don't think I like the Mythy people , they are a lot of poo poo , sounds like nobles ", Sera puts in her  piece of coin .  " That Siri sounds a lot like our Siri", Cassandra says looking at the little blond Nord who is staring at the sky again . As if she would be able to see anything ,the sky is overcast tonight ,Cassandra thinks sarcastically .

"I've been in sewers before ", Siri muses " in Riften ,it smelled like rotten fish mixed with feces ,horrible ,but I endured it because I was on a mission to find the Ragged Flagon, a tavern under the city where the Thieves Guild operated from ".   Everyone gaped at her . Seriously ,who is this woman?,Bull asks himself. 

" We should all get some sleep now ,tomorrow might be a long ,hard day",Anthony suddenly said .  His voice somehow sounded disgruntled to everyone . He felt inadequate to really be the Inquisitor sometimes and hearing all that Siri has done since she was sixteen just made him feel worse . He felt unworthy of courting such a woman .She was heroic and beautiful while he was just plain ordinary . Or so he thought . He didn't see what she saw . To her he was a hero and a handsome man with his dark hair , perfectly muscled body and those emerald eyes .
