The Warden watches as Reven prays. The act of the unbeliever now reaching out to faith despite all odds invites...a miracle. Just as Carmen's body expires and the blood stops gushing from her chest, she gasps. Light and life fill her as her eyes open.
Reven meets her eyes and sees all his faith confirmed just before a long sword instantly takes it all away. Carmen's head rolls off the head onto the floor severed from her body by the Grey Warden. In a graveled breathy voice the warden says, "It appears the gypsy was right. It is foolish to think good will win. Nial now I have taken from you your apprentice, ripped away the life of an innocent girl who you could not save, and did so possessing and destroying a paladin you knew you could trust. Look around and remember well, for as long as you live this will be your fate."
Nial's sword is drawn in a flash and the Warden drops his sword and holds his lapels, "Strike him down, yes, add another innocent to our feud. It matters not to me he's served his purpose. and we'll meet again, Time is on my side."
He begins to sing as if no threat is present and even dance in a manner of victory, "TIME, TIME< TIME< is on my side...yes it is"
