Letters to a Lost Love
   
_________________________________________________


Three hundred years after the last Blight, a stack of letters was found in a buried chest in Castle Cousland in the land of Highever. All of the letters were addressed to a certain "Alistair". It was discovered that this is Alistair Theirin, the Hero and King of Ferelden, the Grey Warden responsible for delivering the killing blow to the Archdemon, ending the Blight and delivering death upon himself.

The author of the letters is Marri Cousland, a member of the well-respected Cousland clan and Alistair's fellow Grey Warden. These two, along with seven other companions, fought alongside each other during the Blight. It was further revealed that Marri and Alistair were engaged and were about to be named King and Queen of Ferelden before Alistair's untimely passing. It is uncertain what happened to Marri after Alistair's death, until now...

After the Funeral

Alistair,

I’ve never really noticed how cold the night wind is here in Denerim even in the summertime. It’s always a little warmer in Highever, have I told you that?  But then again, maybe it’s your absence that makes everything seem cold and still.

Do know that I hate you for making a decision and leaving me with no other options…and with that stupid grin of yours too, I might add.

You had quite a funeral, my love. Thousands of Ferelden citizens have arrived to honor the King and Hero they have not had the chance to meet. A celebration in your honor is still being held inside the palace at this moment, but I thought that I would spend some time away from those to be with you.

I couldn’t pull myself away from thinking that I should have been the one in that casket. It feels so wrong, to see everything fall into place and you’re not here to witness it. I know you wanted me to live, but I would have preferred death if it meant being with you.

I miss you so much Alistair, more than words can say.

Please come back.

The Wardens

Marri and Alistair
