FORM: Sending crystal.
SENDER: Twisted Fate.
RECIPIENT: Everyone!
WHAT: The party returns, and Fate has a request.
WHEN: Backdated to Cloudreach 29.
WHERE: Skyhold.
NOTES: N/A

Ah, Skyhold. Terribly good to be back home. I'm certain you all missed me, didn't you?

In any case.

Clan Frandruil has notified me that they wish to send halla our way. Terribly considerate of Keeper Shoshanna to show such gratitude. I don't particularly care what the Inquisition wishes to do with them, so I defer to those part of Clan Ashara. They are yours, as far as I am concerned.

In any case, something of more immediate concern and interest to me: I've received a mark from the rift we dealt with. As terribly excited as I am to be blessed with this, I'd like to do a little more research on this. [And maybe remove it, but he has a feeling that's impossible.] Those of you already familiar with your own magical glowing green marks, please, enlighten me with whatever you know.

And before I forget: Sera, I've placed your things back in the room in the tavern. If you happen to find anything of mine left in there, it's yours to do with.

I think that ought to do it. I'll be in the tavern, drinking myself silly.

[He laughs quietly.] Well, I'd rather keep my hand where it is. It'd make playing card games very difficult if I lacked it.

Oh? Taken up some shapeshifting lessons, then? Seems a popular choice as of late. I'm sure Morrigan is thrilled.

She seemed pleased I'd chosen it. I think she likes helping me take this big step forward towards my future. With the ability to change forms, I can escape danger and it'll make traveling on my own easier. My first form is a sparrow.

I think she likes sharing her wealth of knowledge, really. [Morrigan has an ego, but he respects her for it. She is a fine teacher.]

Mine was a rat, so I'd say you've chosen well. Is flying difficult?

I'm glad she is. It was a little jarring at first, for a human to take such interest in elven history, but I'm thankful she's collected so much, and continues to search for more.

A rat can escape easily too! And most people tend to scream and jump up on their chairs when they see one. [ She lets out a soft laugh. ]

Not really. It's different and I've kept practicing, but something about it is natural to me. Maybe wanting to leave the clan and explore what the world has to offer has somehow translated into having a knack for soaring up high and looking at the world down below.

She seems to be on the hunt for something, but considering with what she knows, that's understandable. [All in all, he was glad to share with her all he knew. Might as well be useful to someone if he's not going to use it.]

I do like making a quick escape when necessary.

I think that sounds about right. Do you have any other forms just yet?

If it's something important to the People, I want to be a part of it. She seems like the best resource right now.

Oh, no, not yet. I want an animal with a good attack next, and I think I can wait until the Inquisition's next big mission out into the world. There will be plenty of opportunities out in the wild.

It's something important all right.

Personally, I took to a wolf, then a bear. Both have their uses. I wouldn't suggest shapeshifting in Skyhold, personally. Some people might get jumpy with their arrows.

Hmm, any ideas? Something to help in our fight against Corypheus, maybe?

Oh, a wolf is a good one. But I already know not to change in front of people here. I do fly overhead, though. There's hardly any meat on a sparrow anyway, so I doubt people will be aiming at me.
