    Summary

    “There are two people I can think of who might know anything,” Lavellan said. “Experts - on the Fade, on the history of elvhenan. Unfortunately,” a grimace, “one of them has vanished, and if all the resources of the Inquisition can’t find him, I doubt you can.”

    “And the other?” Fenris demanded.

    “Something from my own history, for once. Not an Inquisition thing. There is - a criminal,” said Lavellan. “Exiled from the clans. She was the blood mage who murdered Clan Sabrae and its Keeper. Last I heard she was living in Kirkwall. A very dangerous woman - possibly insane, actually - but I met her once at Arlathven, and if anyone could help you -”

    Merrill?

    Hawke was left in the Fade. Fenris goes looking for him. He doesn't go alone.

    Summary

    The city is quiet from twelve stories up, and they sleep wrapped around each other with a fan that buzzes for the white noise more than the air circulation, and the routine washes the days in and out like a steady tide.

    Then, one day, Kurapika wakes up with an aching jaw and spits a molar into his hand.

    Lio Fotia: The Man Behind the Myth
    April 23, 2049
    By Benjamin Giraud

    We all know his name by now. Leader of the Mad Burnish, the inferno terrorists. He had been arrested barely a week before, apprehended by Galo Thymos and Burning Rescue 3rd Division; and just hours previous, he had gone on a burning rampage through the city.

    But when I first encounter him, he is bringing a water bottle to a tired volunteer. In fact, I don't even recognize him at first. Covered in ash and without the patented leather jacket, he looks like any other disaffected citizen. I snap a picture of him as has become habit, but it's only later that I truly learn who my subject is.

    Lio Fotia is something else. His voice is quiet, but it commands attention when he speaks. He gives orders definitively, and when he does not know the answer he has the grace to direct you to the person who does.

    Or: the aftermath of saving the world, through social media.
