FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Adelaide LeBlanc
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Questions for Shardbearers
WHEN: Guardian 22
WHERE: Emprise Du Lion, heard by all
NOTES: Research Questionnaire for people that have shiny things on/in their person.

This message is for anyone that has a shard in their hand, their chest, or otherwise on their person; Rifter or Thedosian or otherwise. If you are so fortunate or unfortunate depending upon your view of the shard as to have one I've questions for you in the interest of better understanding that which you have and what it means for your health, the world around you, and how likely it is you might attract demons in your sleep. At my current best estimate the odds are high in on last but I tend to err on assuming the worst and being pleasantly surprised when the world doesn't rain down fire, death, and the undead.

If you would rather speak in person and are in Emprise du Lion- I can be found in my healing tent. If not? I will return to Skyhold at the end of Guardian if you would prefer to wait to speak face to face or am available at all hours on the crystals.

I might have to watch it now

[ Adelaide makes a note on Ruby's chart and flips to a fresh section of pages, labeling them accordingly. ]

Could you start from the beginning? That sounds...incredibly complicated.

you will probably regret it negl but the first season is good times

The beginning?

( Does she even really know the beginning? Maybe the doubt shows on her face, but she drags her bottom lip through her teeth, nods a little, gaze focused on her hands rather than Adelaide, and then looks back to the healer. )

I'll try. ( Just how much slack should she cut Regina? ) Someone who was broken hearted and desperate became so... twisted and let their heart get so dark that her revenge and what she thought was justified just kept escalating more and more. Killing someone wasn't enough, they had to suffer. And then it turned into everyone having to suffer - to lose their happiness and their identities, everything. And she was able to cast a spell strong enough to make that happen.

( Tentatively: ) Any questions so far?

[ Adelaide wrote this, word for word, as best she could. The tale sounded familiar enough save for the splitting of lives and worlds and..

And... ]

...Could you explain how a single spell erased everyone's memories and split lives and worlds in twain?

I'm no witch, ( Ruby has to admit, shaking her head apologetically. ) From what I've heard about it? It took sacrifice. Big sacrifice. I think...

( God, what had Snow said? ) The death of the one you love most, or something.
