;.; I tried The sun was high in the sky, birds were chirping with glee and the roar of the cheering people flooded the cool air. The day couldn’t be any more perfect for The Divine, as this was the beginning of a new stage in her life. She looked at all the people gathered below her, yelling happily, and wishing her the best of luck. She couldn’t help but let her smile falter a bit, as she realized how much she was going to miss being surrounded by the people she loved, the people who had been there with her through everything. She definitely was going to miss coming back after long trips and having everyone welcome her back with laughter and smiling faces. She was going to miss it all. She saw Cullen standing along with Cassandra and all of her other companions. He was staring straight at the soon to be Divine with a somber expression. As soon as they made eye contact he quickly averted his eyes and turned around, putting his hands to his face. - She remembered the short conversation she had with him the night before, when she found out that she was going to be made the next Divine. She was beyond excited about it, running to Cullen as soon as she found the chance, and she quickly told him everything. She thought that he would be happy for her, but he just responded with, “I have a lot of work to do, now that you aren’t going to be here.” Of course, that made her angry, knocking the items off of his desk and clutching his face with her two small hands. She remember the look he had on his face, it reminded her of an injured animal who wanted to be put out of its misery. She never wanted to see that look again, especially on the one who she gave her heart to. So she took him to her room one last time, and whispered into his ear, “Let’s make this last night the most memorable.” That morning she awoke to him softly humming and stroking her cheek with the tips of his fingers. She knew that he had been crying, as his eyes were a light pink and his nose was tinted red. “I’m going to miss you like no other…” He was looking straight into her chocolate brown eyes. The corners of her light pink lips rose, “What, really?” She didn’t want to end this between them like a sappy story. She wanted to end it with Cullen at least smiling back at her. He smiled too, “Of course, I will. I will miss you more than a babe cries for its mother.” He leaned to kiss her for the very last time. They were so close together, his hand carefully wound in her sleek black hair, and hers in his blonde locks. She wanted it to last forever. - After getting dressed in her very best clothing, she went around to say goodbye to her companions. The first person she talked to was Cassandra. She had been closest to her, next to Cullen. They would joke together, spend nights just talking about the future. They were best friends. Hell they could’ve been sisters, with how much time they spent together. Cassandra was in her usual spot, next to the fighting dummies. She wasn’t practicing at the moment, she was standing against the stone wall. As soon as she saw the beautiful woman coming towards her, she shouted, “Ah, Chichäk! Congratulations! I heard the great news from Cullen, he told me how excited you were upon finding out. I’m so happy for you.” She patted Chichäk on the back. “Believe me, I was honour to find out. I’m actually not surprised that they picked me. I mean, after all it should be someone who is a devout Andrastian, like me.” Cassandra laughed, “Of course, I mean no one could really be more devout than you.” She looked up to the bright blue sky that promised a great day, and then looked back at Chichäk. “You know, I’m really glad that it was you who was picked. I wouldn’t want it to be anyone else and I wouldn’t know someone who would do a better job as the next Divine.” Chichäk felt a light heat rise to her cheeks, “Thank you. I won’t let you down. Believe me.” After hugging Cassandra she went inside the tavern, to speak to Sera. She was by far one of the most humorous beings she met in her life. She could make jokes even out of the most serious situations, and that is why Chichäk found her to be such a great friend. She walked into the small room that Sera was staying in, “Sera, are you here?” If she wasn’t here she had to be out on the roof again, so Chichäk climbed over to the window and just as she thought she found the girl sitting on the roof, eating sweets. “Hello, Sera. I thought I would find you here.” Sera turned around as soon as she heard that warm voice of Chichäk’s. “So you are going to be leaving tomorrow, yeah?” Chichäk walked over to the elven girl and sat down. “Yes, I will be leaving for Val Royeaux tomorrow. So I can prepare for the Coronation to become Divine.” Sera sighed, “I won’t be able to see you anymore, right?” “Yea, I’m going to be too focused on fixing everything to really have time to come back. Once everything is the way it should be, I will try to come and you and everyone else again. But, until then this is going to be goodbye.” Sera turned to look at Chichäk, “We never got to make cookies together. Promise me you will come back to make them with me.” “I might not be able to keep that promise you know. Even if I am able to come back, I probably won’t have time to do such.” Sera frowned. “Just promise me. I will find a way when the time comes.” “Okay, I promise.” - After she finished talking with Sera, she went to find Cole, but when she looked in his usual spot there was nothing to be found. This made Chichäk nervous. Had he found out? She spent the rest of the day worrying about the precious boy, as she spoke with everyone else who had wanted to say goodbye and wish her the best of luck. When Chichäk had gone to speak with Leliana, one of her underlings said that Leliana was too busy to speak with anyone else. Of course, Chichäk knew that Leliana was angered by the fact that Chichäk was picked to be the Divine instead of Leliana herself. “By Andraste’s flaming arse, she is busy. Tell her that if she didn’t want to speak with me in the first place, she should tell me personally. Not one of her henchmen to tell me.” Chichäk had yelled at the underling, pushing him away and heading back to her room. She was the last person that she was going to talk to anyways, so it wasn’t a big issue. - When she headed up to her room, she found Cole sitting on her bed. Once he noticed that Chichäk had walked in, he stood up and started pacing back and forth. “Cole, Whats wrong? Where have you been? I was looking for you earlier” Cole turned around to face her, “They are going to be gone. Leaving me all alone. Empty. Sad. Darkness without the light that the torch gives it.” “Cole, I’m not leaving you alone. You have everyone else here, and I will make sure that you won’t ever have to be alone again.” “But, I do not want everyone else. Only one person. Just one. Not more.” “It will have to be this way, I am sorry cole. I will miss you though, you are of great importance to me” Cole seemed even more depressed than usual, “I will miss you too.” Chichäk felt her heart drop. She hated to see him like this, so she wrapped her arms around the boy in a warm hug. - "And as now of 9:41 Dragon, Chichäk Kutriguri Khatun Suren Trevelyan will now be known as Divine Isabella. " Divine Isabella walked out onto the Grand Cathedral's center podium and raised her arms up,her silken gown flowing graciously over her body. She smiled greatly, although she knew she was nervous she knew that today was the very first of a new chapter. She looked at all the people who now depended on her to rebuild the chantry. To make it anew and even greater than it ever was. Divine Isabella knew that with great power came with great responsibility, and along with that she was bound to have even more enemies. However, she was more than ready to knock them down before they ever get a chance to even think about going against her. She was more than ready for the impending future.
