A/N

I might get drawn and quartered for this, but you know I love you all and I just want to let you know that... I was not me. Though I take responsibility for this I have to blame the music and Muses who planted the seed in my head.

I will get the newest chapter up as soon as I can.

I have found a few songs that discribe ech character in the story, if your into that sort of thing. From the E.S Posthumus Collection...

1) Deedo - Nara, Tikal (Anger), Cuzco, Ulaid (When she is sad)

2) Alistair - Unstoppable (Anger), Arise (Deedo and Alistair), Harappa, Vishnu (On his search for Deedo)

3) Cullen - Ebla, Isfahan (Deedo and Cullen), Saint Matthew Passion (Sounds like it belongs in Castlevania SoTN), Pompeii (Anger)

Enjoy.

The meaning of red is…

Red is the warmest of all colors the positive side is that it associates with strength and abundant energy, the color of extroverts.

It is stimulating, lively, and very friendly - Deedo smiled at the templar, moving his hand she replaced hers back on his jaw cooling the pink area once more before it caused him pain - if any.

The negative side is that red can mean temper - Alistair's eyes narrowed as he looked at Cullen once again, saying he loved Deedo while he had the nerve to touch her. Clenching his hand into a fist once more, he raised his hand to strike Cullen again.

It brings focus to the essence of life and living with emphasis on survival - Deedo saw from the corner of her eye when Alistair lunged, she stepped in front of Cullen to protect him from being hit again.

Red is the color of blood, and as such has strong symbolism as life and vitality - The force from the blow sent Deedo landing hard onto Cullen's breastplate then crumpled to the ground in front of him, a trickle of blood escaped the corner of her mouth.

It also can have a physical effect, increasing the rate of respiration, and raising blood pressure - Cullen blinked in disbelief as he stared at the King he turned his eyes to Deedo - as she was lying still, motionless at his knee. It grew hot the scene seemed so familiar, a different setting but the mage was lying at his feet.

Cullen's hands shook as he reached for her, to check her Deedo was still breathing. Cullen raised her head tilting it from side to side he then laid her down gently. Raising his head slowly to the King he stood, fist balled, heart pounding.

Even embarrassment – Alistair dropped to his knees, his mouth agape tears spilled from his eyes, he pulled Deedo into his arms placing her head against his chest, murmuring his apologies, shaking her slightly to wake her.

Red is associated with fiery heat and warmth – Deedo's jaw was throbbing, she raised her hand to her face and instantly cooled it, she opened her eyes to see Alistair looking back at her, still apologizing.

Deedo pulled herself from his strong arms that refused to let her go. Once she was standing on wobbly legs, Alistair looked up at her still shaking his head for her forgiveness. Cullen stood to watch a reaction that he never in his life thought he would see.

Alternatively, red means anger – Deedo raised the King's head and planted a kiss on his forehead, Cullen looked away disgusted then the sound of a hard slap that echoed in the room followed by a dull thud. He looked back and saw the flaming hand of the elven mage dwindling and the King holding his cheek and head.

Checking to see if Cullen's jaw was well once more, she called over her shoulder addressing Alistair as he picked himself off the floor,

"You will be expected to show your face at our little Funalis gathering since you came all this way, I would hate for you to miss it." The elf turned on her heel and walked out of the office as if nothing happened.

They both watched as she left, her hips swaying on their own accord, Cullen looked back at the King a very visible handprint on his face glowed brightly. Alistair looking to the Templar both with the same thought, Deedo is sexy when she is angry - Red is also the color of passion and lust.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anders looked up as the door opened catching sight of a large red mark on her face, "What happen to you?" He rushed over to take a better look at the red imprint - Teagan was doing the same after the mage pointed out her injured face.

Deedo winced a little when she held her head up, "Nothing, it should not affect the performance come tonight." Deedo smiled softly at her friend.

"It is something and I won't let you let him get away with it!" Anders voice shifted as he started for the door, Tengu growling following right behind Anders.

"I have taken care of it, now please we have things to attend to." Deedo gripped every bit of raw emotion she had, closing her eyes from a moment to calm herself she turned her focus on the Bann.

Looking over to the Bann – angry with him that he could not speak since to Alistair before it gotten this far, she raised a elegant eyebrow with a please smirk tugging her corners of her seductive mouth,

"Your King might need assistance. You as well as he, are invited to the Funalis gathering this eve. See to it his Highness does not have a headache, though I doubt anything can harm that hard head of his." The smile she gave could melt stone, Teagan felt his heartthrob as he looked into her eyes, she glanced over to the door then back at him.

Teagan turned to the door entered then quickly shut it behind him, finding Alistair rubbing the sting of his cheek and side of his head.

Deedo patted Tengu, confirmed with Aveline about this evening, and pulled Anders along with her out of the Keep.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alistair what did you do to her?" Teagan checked his nephew over with concern, then a short time later amusement.

"What is so funny, you know what never mind, I know I deserved it." Alistair threw his hands up, "Just because she defeated the Archdemon does not mean I am scared of her." He tried not to look like a pouting child.

Teagan laughed harder, doubled over gripping his sides. Cullen stood by, he was furious that the King who claimed his love of Deedo would be so blinded by jealousy to strike without thought. On the other hand, to even seek her forgiveness after what transpired between them.

"You're Highness, I guess I need to apologize as well… I brought your anger on myself I meant no harm, I know it was my doing. During the time she, you, and your companions purged the tower of the evil." Cullen swallowed.

Alistair took in what the Knight Commander was saying, "I understand your feelings, at the time you were not yourself, Deedo was brokenhearted… your words of hate towards the magi crippled her. Do you know she did not speak to me for a week after we left the circle, she kept muttering about 'damned templars.' fighting back tears."

Alistair rubbed the back of his head, "She did love you, she might still, she might hate me now for what I had done to you… to her…" he put his face in his hands sighing.

Cullen walked over and placed a comforting hand on the King's shoulder, "I cannot be with her if I wanted to, I may love her but my duty is to the Maker and his bride. Love like that from her would have come if things were different. She use to be my charge when we were in the Tower, I will still continue to fear for her well being." Cullen bowed to Alistair and then to Teagan, he exited without another word.

"You are blessed by the Maker to have that woman Alistair, she will forgive you in time, and it seems she always will." Teagan patted the King's back and waited out in the main hall until Alistair made way to leave.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Night fell over the city of Kirkwall, a large gathering a people stood about laughing, chatting, dancing and listening to the music that played through the night air. The only light was from the five fire bowls hung undisturbed in the center of the square.

All were in attendance Hawke stood near Sebastian and the King who talked about the lingering Darkspawn.

After much amusement and feasting five thick rolled rugs were laid on the stone ground. Hawke excused himself, Teagan took Hawke's vacant spot.

Isabela guarded Cullen along with Anders a short distance away, Aveline brought Donnic and Varric sat with Fenris as well as Merrill. Everyone forming a large semi circle around the dangling pots, Hawke reappeared with a large rug in his arms, gently he placed it on the ground.

Grabbing the edge of the thick rug he flicked it as it unrolled a figure came tumbling out in an outfit of gold, red, and orange. Looking down at the woman laying at his feet angry aqua eyes shone bright from the flames of the fire.
