Your heart is a compass
![]() They may be an adventurer, a rambler, a gambler, banished, always on the run, a wanted criminal, someone with a higher calling, or just someone who isn't allowed to be where they'd want the most, they'll always find their way back home - a home, as a matter of fact, they share with you, though. And they'll, again and again, find themselves wanting you, for support, for care, for healing, for feeling alive, for venting frustration and anger, for anything and everything at all. You'll welcome them with open arms. Because home isn't a place - it's a person.

[ Leaving Anders behind after three years of finally fighting together, of finally helping the mages, of seeing him lit up and exultant with fulfilled purpose, was like walking away with a fist through her belly, knotted and wrenching, but she still remembers the throat-burning horror of Corypheus puppeting Anders' body against her, and she'd put herself to her own sword before letting that happen to him again. Listening to Stroud describe the false Calling that hummed in the back of his mind, watching the empty depths of the Warden mages' eyes as they murdered their brothers, had only kept proving she was right to do it, even if it was the worst thing she ever did.
But Maker, whatever hell the Wardens are raising in their cloistered fortress can fucking simmer for however long it takes her to wait for Anders to join her. She's given the Inquisition what she can, and if Corypheus has chosen to turn his attention to them completely, then fine. Hawke blood brought him out, but if Hawke blood won't put him back, then frankly she has no interest in spilling any more for an organization she can't trust not to undo everything she and Anders have been working to accomplish. The Inquisitor can fucking handle it.
She borrows a raven from the Inquisition before she takes off. She marks her letter off with their signs for I'm safe and I'm not writing under duress, tells Anders where she's heading, where she'll wait. Demands (or maybe begs) that he take the long route, whatever that may be, to keep him as far away from any hint of Corypheus' forces, rather than try and take a shortcut straight through the invisible net of that monster's Calling.
Eight days up to Serault, then two weeks out to where the Ander, Orlesian, and Nevarran borders cross, and then ten days or more from there to Weisshaupt, and that's assuming she can manage straight lines of travel the whole way through. Assuming she sleeps on the road and presses on, on, on, waits for nothing and no one and moves like an arrow across the map.
There's a town at the border crossroads, big enough with trade that a couple of new faces could easily blend into the crowd, and small enough that when she checks the Chanter's board, the inevitable old wanted poster with their descriptions on it has been almost completely papered over with more recent announcements. No one notices when she tacks up her own fake ad to cover the last sliver of it. They can be anonymous here in a way they haven't really been able to since leaving Kirkwall, maybe.
So she waits. She kills time picking up jobs off the board and from the innkeeper. She listens to the chatter, and carefully prods for more when it sounds like there might be something to learn about the local Wardens, gathers a disturbing picture of the pot boiling over in the fortress, and she misses Anders like a limb, and she waits. ]

As far as she knows he'd died that day. When he'd decided to go off into that plane. It's one memory that she'd never forget. Nor would she forget the way that it had slammed into her with a fierceness of all the amazons banded together. Had broke her heart but it hadn't stopped her from fulfilling what he'd wanted. Hadn't stopped her from defending the world. Even if she had stopped for a while. Until Bruce, that is.
What she doesn't expect is to catch a glimpse of him. A glimpse of someone that she knew to be long dead. To have left her so many years ago. It couldn't be him and yet she stood in her stop transfixed. Not able to move or react, not yet.
After all, this could be her mind playing tricks on her.]
