Ina'lan'ehn Abelas
5 years after the Exalted counsel. The Veil has been torn down by Fen'Harel. The whole world was torn asunder. Only elvhen were left. All were immortal now. Now that her world and loved ones are gone, she is lost. The Well her only friend. She now resides in New Arlathan. Fen'Harel might have spared her life, but what was a life without friendship and love? Not a life at all. Solas, despite everything, still loves her. He knows that they cannot be, but he keeps her. Hoping that one day she will forgive him. He makes Abelas, longtime friend and general of his army, help her. If he cannot be what she needs, he hopes that Abelas can. He knows they both have deep sorrows and he wants them both to heal. Abelas, despite everything that has been accomplished, is lost. He has known only duty for so long that he no longer knows what to do now that duty is not needed. His purpose gone. He is shocked when his king and friend tells him that the inquisitor is alive, and even more astonished when he gives him the task of guarding her. He thought that there might have been a threat, that is, until he sees her. It was instant. He knew. Sorrow. How was he supposed to guard sorrow when he himself was sorrow?…
