“Oh, the baby nugs were born on midsummer!”

“Normally, I would advise against such frivolous things, but in this case, it is at the upmost importance the Inquisition looks presentable at the Winter Palace.”

“Oh, I do miss shopping for shoes.”

Kneeling in the garden, paying her respects to the old statue of Andraste. “May the Maker grant me the strength of his bride, the grace of her step, and the sharpness of her blade.”

“Hmm. If I need to be. Roses do hold importance to me, but not in red.”

"His word will prevail in the darkness, like a shield against the arrows of despair."

"I have faith we will, Cassandra. I know you do, as well. This Corpyheus is not the first threat to the Chantry, or Thedas. He will not be the last. But His will will be done and He will prevail."

"That is quite beautiful. Have you written poetry often, Cole?"

Smiles sadly. "I wish to believe Divine Justinia made this possible, in her own way. She brought us together, if nothing else. Perhaps we can make her proud but continuing on."

"What is even better is knowing I can visit my nug grandchildren whenever I wish."

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

"I am not worried. I have eyes everywhere."

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

“Oh, they spotted one are so delightful aren’t they? I will ensure you have first pick. They spotted ones are quick coveted.”

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Smiled. “And should you one day ever find yourself settled down, I’d be happy to gift you a few.”

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

"Oh, yes! My original Schmooples had two litters, I kept my favorite and she now continues the bloodline. Most of the others I give away. All and all, there has been at least thirty pups altogether, counting the new ones on the way."

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

“As am I. But it was nice to receive a letter to hear about their wellbeing. I do miss them.”

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

“That is very considerate of you, but unnecessary. Schmooples II is back home in Orlais under a watchful eye. Even without your little deepstalker, it was far too dangerous to bring her out.”

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

“So cute and quit friendly. They are so tiny when they are born they can fit in the palm of your hand.”

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

"It is springtime. Schmooples II will be ready to deliver a litter soon!

“How many Spymasters have you known?”

A raven caws as the Spymaster sets her free, on her way to deliver a message to the forward camp. She descends the long staircase, slipping into the main hall of Skyhold and pausing near Varric. @varrichousetethras.bsky.social

Let the blade pass through the flesh, Let my blood touch the ground, Let my cries touch their hearts. Let mine be the last sacrifice.

“What has Josie gotten herself into now?” Smiles. “She’s always looking for the ‘proper’ was to do things.”

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

The Imperium slept. In the lofty palaces Mages dreamed of the Maker's Palace, golden and shining, And though they knew not why, the dream turned their blood to ice. Soldiers stood their watches, and servants hurried on errands, Unaware of what the dawn would bring.

Leliana @thenugmother.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

The righteous stood before the armies As a boulder stands before a tide: Unshaken, rooted there by the Maker's Hand. And the demon's soldiers broke upon their shields As a wave breaks upon the shore.

The Skyhold gardens were cold and windy. But resting behind one of alcoves stood Andratse. Her likeness captured in stone. She watched over the gardens. Leliana knelt before her. Lowered her head in prayer.

The steely facade of the Spymaster faded. She rose and closed the gap between them. Her gloved hand gripped the Seeker’s shoulder. “Cassandra, you began the Inquisition the honor her. To bring justice to those responsible for her death. You are the strongest of us all. Has something happened?”

“Cassandra, I have not seen you so heated since your last spat with Varric.” Despite her words, no jest was intended. “The Maker shall not ask of us more than we are able to give. I know your faith will not shatter.”

“It will be spring soon. Schmooples II will be excited to once again nibble on fresh clover and dandelions.”

“I suppose it makes sense to the clerics to seek the next Divine from either the left or right hand. That does not mean we must appreciate the haste at which they seek to replace her most holy.” Of course, that look of forlorn was not lost on the Spymaster. “You do not wish to rise to Divine?”

“I am, though I’ve not put much thought into the matter. Justinia was -“ She sighs. Head lowered, hiding her eyes under her hood. “It is difficult to believe, even now, she is not with us. But if they were to elect me, I would serve. It’s the least she deserved.”

Rolling up a small parchment. Inside a coded message awaits. Leliana carefully ties the note to her raven and sends it on its way.

“And stability. It was what she wanted as well. I also struggle with my failings and my duty. But I shall not falter. What we began shall be finished.”

“What is Josie up to?” Giggles.

“No, I believe we are past that. We need all the allies we can afford, Cassandra. This you know.”

“It has to do with our prior investigations, yes.”

“I will be sure to alert Cullen. Should…backup be required.”

“So much drama brewing in Skyhold tonight. It makes me nostalgic for The Game.”

“It is not me you need to worry about fleeing from.”

Weighs her answer carefully. After silence passes between them, she softly admits, “I do not think you will be pleased…”

“It would seem we have a new ally visiting Skyhold to assist with out efforts against Corypheus.”

“Maker. Were your ears burning, Cassandra?”

“At Shartan's word, the sky Grew black with arrows. At Our Lady's, ten thousand swords Rang from their sheaths, A great hymn rose over Valarian Fields gladly proclaiming Those who had been slaves were now free.”

“Nice?” She laughs. “I have not been called nice in some time. Thank you. I can see why that young man blushes around you.”

“Serah Hawke. You have come a long way from Kirkwall. I would advise to remain in the shadows until Cassandra knows of your presence.” @shanehawke.bsky.social

Smiles. “Your gift is a link, and I know it has been cheer to those at Skyhold. Such tales. As Varric says, stories are powerful. Soothing. Or sad. Like that one song there.” She recognized the old ballad.

“I shall not be left to wander the drifting roads of the Fade For there is no darkness, nor death either, in the Maker's Light And nothing that He has wrought shall be lost.”
