"The two of you need to complete your training. Your full training,
including your joining." Duncan added when Simon started to protest. "And
as of now, the two of you are too young to join. I don't think the First
Warden would like to have two fifteen year olds join his ranks. Maybe in a
year. And when you're ready, you can join me and the others back in
Ferelden, if you chose to." Duncan said firmly, his voice not giving room
for any discussion on the matter.

Simon and Daniel said their goodbyes to Duncan, Tanyl, Sanders Ivo and
Katarina as the four of them left for Ferelden, leaving Simon and Daniel in
Orlais.

"I think we'll be alright here." Daniel said, patting Simon's back, which
immediately made Simon's body shiver.

"Yeah... It's just one year, right?" Simon said, trying to ignore the heat
on his face. Daniel was right though. They were going to be alright here in
Montsimmard. At least for a year.

Part VI

Winter came and went in Orlais, while Daniel and Simon continued to train,
both physically and mentally. For Simon, this meant learning how to read
and write. Growing up on the streets, Simon never learned those
things. Daniel on the other hand had known this ever since he began his
Templar training, and helped Simon learn these matters as well. The two of
them were sitting in the Grey Wardens' extensive library, reading old books
about the previous Blights. Simon did his best to read out loud. He'd
learned all the basics, but was still a very slow reader. Daniel remembered
back when he had to learn this, and had to chuckle from Simon's stammering.

"-We a-a-arrived at the battlefield at N-Nordbotten on our g-g-g... what's
that word?"

"Griffons." Daniel said, smiling. Simon had made enormous progress in the
short time he'd been reading. He barely needed any help anymore.

"Griffons? They had griffons?" Simon asked, excited. "Do you think they
still do?"

"I don't know... They have Griffons as their emblem, so maybe?" Daniel
said, unsure. "Continue reading, you're almost done," he said firmly. They
had to at least get to the bottom of the page before they finished up for
the day.

"Alright, alright... -on our griffons. The battle seemed lost, but when we
dived down from a-above, the army rallied to our side. This was our first
victory against the Darkspawn. Let us hope we can defeat the... What's that
word?"

"Archdemon... I think," Daniel said, looking on the word with
curiosity. During his Templar training, Daniel had learned the different
kinds of demons from the fade. Sloth, Pride, Rage, Desire, Dispair and
Evny. He'd never heard of an Archdemon before.


"Let us hope we can defeat the Archdemon. There, done!" Simon said sighing
loudly, slamming the book shut. "Now let us go get something to eat!" he
added, and pretty much ran out the door. But Daniel stood there for a few
more seconds, looking at the book, "The First Blight". He hadn't read it
all yet, only the first few chapters, but he found it strange how vague the
book was on why Grey Wardens are needed to battle the Darkspawn and the
Blights. He had to look more into this...

"You coming?" Simon shouted from the door, which snapped Daniel out of it,
and the two of them joined the others for a bite to eat.

Daniel and Simon made huge progresses in their weapon training now as
well. The two of them were regular sparring partners now, and knew each
other well enough to co-operate against others as well. This was key to
being a Grey Warden, Kahul had said to them only a week before.

"You'll take on a lot of Darkspawn at once, and covering each other is a
crucial part of your survival in battle. Grey Wardens don't battle alone,"
He added, looking proudly at Daniel and Simon.

It was during one of these sparring sessions that Daniel and Simon started
their next step in becoming a Grey Warden for real. The two of them were in
the middle of a session, Simon seemingly winning, when they were approached
by Aiden and Darien.

"Simon, Daniel, come with us." Aiden shouted at them, and they both stopped
to look up. Both Aiden and Darien look rather pale, but serious.

"What's going on?" Daniel asked as he walked towards them.

"We were told to come get you. Riordan wants to talk to you." Aiden
replied.

"Riordan? Why wo-" Simon stared but were cut off by Darien.

"You're going to go through the Joining sooner than anticipated." He said
calmly. Daniel and Simon looked at him with a mix of both shock and
excitement.

"Let's go. He's waiting by the gates." Darien added and turned around
before starting to walk with his twin brother towards the gates. Daniel and
Simon exchanged a look, before following.

They walked the short distance to the gates, where Riordan was waiting for
them. With him were the other four recruits as well.

"Alright, everyone is here. I have been charged to bring the eight of you
to your Joining. We're going to leave Montsimmard for at least a week, so
you should all pack your gear and supplies. We leave in the morning,"
Riordan said, looking at each of the recruits in turn. Daniel raised his
hand and Riordan nodded at him, giving him permission to speak.

"Sir, Simon and I aren't set to do out Joining before summer..." Daniel
said unsure. "We were told that we were too young to become Grey Wardens
before we were sixteen."

"The First Warden has approved the two of you to take your Joining now,
with the other recruits of Montsimmard," Riordan replied. "If that's
all... Pack your armor and weapons. Leave anything you don't need
behind. We're going to travel a hard journey and we don't need the extra
weight."

After a few extra instructions, the recruits left to pack. Simon and Daniel
returned to the training grounds to finish their session.

"Why do you think its fine that we join the Grey Wardens now when it was
out of the question just six months ago?" Simon asked quietly as they
walked.

"I don't know, but I guess we have to make our decision to either leave
Orlais or go to Ferelden sooner rather than later," Daniel said as they set
up their positions again. "You ready?" Daniel asked, smiling.

"You bet," Simon replied with a wink.

The two boys started to circle each other. They had fought each other so
many times now, that they knew each other's moves perfectly. That didn't
stop them from making mistakes every now and then.

Simon made the first move. He had finally learned some of Riordan's tricks,
and threw something on the ground, covering the area around them in
smoke. Daniel raised his shield and tried to look into the smoke
surrounding him, but it was too thick. A sound behind him, made Daniel turn
around to find Simon there, his sword already raised. Daniel, who still had
his shield up managed to block the sword, before Simon vanished into the
smoke again. Daniel knew that Simon only had about a minute before the
smoke dissolved and he didn't have anywhere to hide anymore. Movement to
the left! Daniel barely managed to block this one, feeling the dull blade
hit his arm.

"Hit!" he heard Simon shout, and Daniel dropped his shield. Rules were
rules after all. Holding his sword in both hands, he spun around, trying to
see where Simon was. He finally spotted him on the other side of the
grounds, his sword and dagger ready. So he wanted to take him on without a
shield? Daniel could work with that.

"What? You afraid that I'll break your nose again with my shield?" Daniel
taunted him, grinning wide. He knew that Simon didn't like to think about
how Daniel had broken his nose their first time fighting.

Simon ran towards him, lashing out wish his sword. Daniel blocked it with
his own, only to see Simon's dagger come towards him low. Jumping back, he
managed to evade it, but Simon wasn't done. Holding his blades in front of
him, he swung them in two broad arcs, like they had seen Duncan do
once. Daniel acted on instinct and pretty much combat rolled under them,
landing almost directly under Simon. With all his might, he kicked Simon in
the chest, actually lifting him off the ground and made him airborne for a
second, before he landed on his back a few feet away.

Daniel got back on his feet, wanting to use Simon's fall to his
advantage. He rushed towards Simon and struck with his blade. Simon managed
to roll away from it, and quickly back on his feet. He had a hand on his
chest where Daniel had kicked him, looking like it hurt a little. Daniel
shook his head. He couldn't think of Simon as a friend at this moment! He
had to-

His thoughts were abruptly disrupted as Simon started to lash out a flurry
of blows. Daniel couldn't deflect them all with his single sword, and felt
several of Simon's attacks connect. Simon didn't stop with this. Switching
the grip of his dagger in the middle of an attack, he managed to deflect
Daniel's sword to the side and struck a final blow into Daniel's
abdomen. Both breathing heavily, they smiled at each other.

"Well fought. You still need to use your shield better." Simon said,
hitting him in the shoulder playfully.

"Yes, I know. You're getting the hang of that smoke grenade now." Daniel
said, picking up his shield again. "Shall we go pack?" Daniel said, patting
his friend on the back before starting to walk towards their quarters.


Simon was both exhausted and thrilled. Both for the fact that he'd won
against Daniel and because they would go through their joining almost six
months before they first thought. Simon liked Montsimmard and all, but he
really missed Ferelden! He even missed the plain buildings and not having
to ask twice what people said, because he didn't understand their accent!

Simon opened the heavy wooden door to their shared quarters, only to find
the rest of the recruits pack their belongings into bags. Both Aiden and
Darien had finished and sat on their beds talking. They looked up when
Simon and Daniel entered and gave them a bright smile.

"Who won today?" Aiden asked smirking slightly.

"Simon did this time, even without breaking his nose first," Daniel
teased. Simon felt the heat on his face. Daniel loved to bring that up to
tease him! His nose had healed pretty quickly though. Cassius could really
perform some miracles with his magic! Now it was all fixed and straight
again.

"You two finished already?" Simon asked, not really as interested in the
answer as he was in changing the topic.

"Yes, I just put my armor on and packed some arrows and I was done. My
bedroll has been ready for months," Aiden said nonchalantly. His brother
just nodded towards his own pack, where his broadsword rested neatly
against his armor.

"Is that armor new?" Daniel asked, starting to take off his training
armor. Simon felt the usual heat building up in his body as soon as Daniel
started to show some of that pale skin of his. You'd think that after six
months of seeing it pretty much every single day would get him used to it,
but it only got worse! At record time, Simon felt the hardness press
against his own training armor. Daniel continued undressing, even though
one of the other recruits was a woman. But Daniel hadn't cared for six
months now that people were watching and today was no different. He quickly
loosened the belt and strings that tied his training armor together and
quickly stepped out of them. Simon had to swallow a few times and take a
few deep breaths to calm the nerves. The display only lasted a few seconds
though, as Daniel quickly found his normal set of trousers and stepped into
them.

Now that Daniel had finished changing, Simon turned around to undress
himself. He wore much lighter armor than Daniel did, even during training,
so it took some time to get it all off his body. Once he only had his
trousers left, he made sure that he had his normal clothes close by, so he
could get into them as soon as possible. Simon loosened the belt around his
waist that held it up, and untied the knots that held the fly
together. Counting to three inside his head, Simon quickly stepped out of
them and into his normal ones in under a second. Once he had it held in a
safe height, he turned around to tie it off. Once he had turned around, he
noticed Daniel looking his way, but once Simon saw him looking, he looked
away. Simon's jaw dropped when he noticed how red his cheeks and ears
turned. Could it be... No it couldn't. Daniel wasn't like him, he knew
that. Daniel was a Templar for Andraste's sake!

The recruits finished packing and soon the night fell. Simon was tossing
and turning in his bed, unable to sleep. He heard the deep breaths from the
other recruits as they slept. He couldn't do this anymore. He'd been
thinking about Daniel for hours now and it was driving him insane! Simon
figured that maybe a walk would calm him, so he slowly got up and jumped
down from the top bunk of the bed. The room was pitch black, so he had to
feel his way to the heavy door. He opened it just enough for him to slip
through. He hadn't even made it ten steps from the door when it opened
again and Daniel's messy hair peeked out from it, looking confused at him,

"Simon? What are you doing? Where are you going?"

"I can't sleep. I'm just going to take a walk. Go back to bed Daniel."
Simon said softly.

"No. Wait a second," Daniel said as he stepped into the stone hall and
carefully closed the door behind him. "I want to join you." He said and
gave Simon a smile. He was obviously tired, but determined to join him in a
little walk. Simon wanted to say no, but Daniel's smile made him melt
inside. He sighed and waved for him to come closer.

The two of them strolled onto the battlements, where a few Grey Wardens
patrolled, but none stopped them. They talked about where they would go
with Riordan and the other recruits and what could possibly await
them. They stopped at one of the corners of the battlements to look out on
Montsimmard. Most of the city was dark, but the light from the stars and
moon cast their light onto the many buildings surrounding them. From their
vantage point, they looked like the trees and mountains when they traveled
here. The thought of their journey here hit Simon as he stood there with
Daniel. Flashes from the night before they found Daniel, the Shriek and the
dark blood flowing down the blade, flashed before his eyes. His thoughts
must have shown, because Daniel put his arm around him and looked worried
at him.

"You seem thoughtful, Simon." Daniel said, studying him closely.

"I just thought of the night before we found you." Simon said and looked at
Daniel, "Of the night that I killed the Shriek and how much my life has
changed ever since then. I've gotten great friends that I care for and
would lose for anything. I've never had that before."

"I know what you mean." Daniel said, hugging him tighter, "Before I met you
I didn't have many friends to speak of, other than the other boys in the
chantry, but I never felt for them, what I feel for you," Daniel said
seriously and Simon looked a little shocked at him. What was he saying?

"What are you saying, Daniel?" he said, echoing his thoughts. Then Daniel
spun him around and gave him a two arm hug so tight that Simon could feel
the heat from Daniel's body. He was so warm and he smelled so nice... No,
wait!

"What are you doing? I can't-" Simon tried to say but something caught his
attention. Something hard poked him down below. Right where... "Daniel!"
Simon almost shouted out in shock.

"Yes, Simon?" Daniel asked softly, not loosening his grip around him. Simon
couldn't help it. He had tried to hold it back ever since Daniel put his
arm around him but now...  Simon felt his own hardness rub against Daniel's
as if in a dance, rubbing against each other, throbbing from the
excitement. Simon felt as though he had gone mute. He could only breathe in
and out. Finally, Daniel loosened his grip on Simon, but didn't let him
go. He held his hands on the other boy's shoulders while looking Simon over
and giving him a heartfelt smile. And before Simon could do anything,
Daniel leaned forward and planted a kiss on his lips. The pure shock from
this gave Simon back his speech.

"Daniel, I-" Simon blurted out, but Daniel silenced him with another kiss,
this time more intense. Instinct took over for Simon as he kissed
back. Simon opened his mouth slightly and felt Daniel do the same. The two
of them stood there kissing for what felt like an eternity, before a sudden
noise brought them back to reality. A Warden patrolling the battlements had
just opened a door further away. Simon and Daniel exchanged another look
before letting each other go. Now that their bodies weren't as close
anymore, it was easy to see each other's hardness poking the fabric of
their trousers.

"Umm... Maybe we should go... somewhere else?" Daniel said, his face
looking a little flushed.

"Good idea." Simon agreed and the two of them went down from the
battlements with haste. "Where could we go...?" Simon asked, a little out
of breath from the excitement.

"In here," Daniel said, shoving Simon in a small doorway. The room had a
fire going in there and Simon recognized it as the kitchens!

"We can't be in here!" Simon said as whispered as Daniel closed the door
behind him and the two of them had the room for themselves.

"No one will be here for hours still, don't worry," Daniel said as he
closed the distance between them and planted another kiss on Simon's
lips. This made Simon forget that they were hiding in the kitchens. Simon
couldn't take much more of this. He had to get what he'd wanted for six
months now.

As they were kissing more intensely by the second, Simon let one of his
hands wander down Daniel's chest. Even through the fabric, he could feel
the muscles underneath. Daniel parted their lips as he felt Simon's hand go
further and further down his chest.

"Simon..." he almost whispered. Simon wasn't sure if it was longing in his
eyes or if it was just pure lust! Daniel seemed like he wanted to help out,
as he soon lifted his shirt off, leaving him bare chested in front of
Simon. Even in the flickering light from the fireplace, Daniel looked
magnificent. Simon felt the heat from Daniel's skin on his fingertips as he
explored his chest, his nipples and further down to the belly
button. Again, Daniel lent him a hand, as he placed his own hand on top of
his own, and guided it further down to where something bulged the fabric of
his thin trousers. Simon's heart was beating faster than ever, no doubt
about that! He'd never been this excited before!

As soon as his fingertips touched the hardnessdown there, Daniel moaned
softly.  "Has anyone ever... touched you before?"

"No, never. You?"

Simon shook his head. He had never done this with anyone before or even
been close enough with anyone to do this. What the guards had done to him
had been awful and wrong so he didn't count what they had done to him. This
felt better in all sorts of ways and it felt right!

He let his hand be guided up a little, before Daniel hooked his thumbs
around the waist of his trousers, leaving a gap for Simon's hand. Accepting
the invitation, Simon let his hand slip inside, feeling the soft skin
surrounding the hard flesh. It felt fantastic on his hands. Somehow, it
felt very different from his own. From what he could feel, Daniel had more
skin than Simon did, it even covered the entire tip.

"I want to see it." Simon said, looking Daniel in the eye. Without more
exchange of words, Daniel pulled the few strings that held his trousers
together, letting it fall to the ground. It looked as perfect as Simon had
felt with his hands. It was around six inches long with a few blond hairs
around the base and the thin trail going up to his navel. Even though he
was hard, the skin still covered the tip completely.

Simon wrapped his hand around Daniel's hardness and Daniel closed his eyes,
clearly enjoying himself. Simon leaned in for another kiss as he started to
move his hand up and down the shaft.

"Ohh, Simon..." Daniel purred into Simon's neck, before Daniel's hands
started to move under his own shirt. "Take it off, please," He begged, and
Simon did as he was told, quickly letting go of Daniel's throbbing hardness
and pulled his own shirt off, exposing his tanned skin to the flickering
light of the fire. Not wanting to waste any more time, he quickly undid the
knot holding his own trousers up, letting them fall to the ground before
stepping out of them. Now both boys were nude as they continued their
kissing. The two of them were so close now that their members pressed
against each other, making the boys moan as they kissed more
intensely. Simon felt Daniel's hands move down his back and down to his
butt cheeks, grabbing hold of them and giving them a quick squeeze that
made Simon jump a little.

"You liked that?" Daniel smiled and gave them another squeeze. Simon kissed
back in reply. He loved Daniel's soft hands, where ever they went. He
almost sighed in disappointment when Daniel's hands left his backside, but
instead he moaned as Daniel started stroking his own length. Simon was
around five and a half inches when hard, but his skin retracted all the way
back, exposing the red head. They looked so different, but it was as if
they belonged together, so close to each other.

"Daniel... if you go on for much longer..." Simon whispered, a little out
of breath as he felt him getting closer to the end.

"I know. Me too..."

With that, Daniel grabbed both of their members in his hands and stroked
them, pushing them against each other with his strong grip. Simon felt
something boiling inside him and he couldn't help but moan loudly as his
sack tightened, his penis shooting strings of his seed in between their two
bodies. This sent Daniel over the edge as well, sending his own fluids
flying as well. Their combined seed splashed against their flat bellies and
down onto their swelling members.

As their seed dripped down onto the stone floor beneath them, the two boys
tried to catch their breath again. This experience had left them panting as
if they'd been running for fifteen minutes, instead of the actual five they
had enjoyed with each other.

"That... was amazing." Daniel finally said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah. I don't think I'll have a problem sleeping anymore," Simon said
back. The only thing still keeping him on his feet, was Daniel's strong
arms around him, hugging them tightly together. Simon's head rested on
Daniel's shoulder, breathing in the scent of him. It was almost a little
intoxicating!

"Maybe... We should clean up a little?" Daniel suggested with a chuckle.
Not a bad idea, Simon though. Their seed covered their bellies and
deflating members. They cleaned themselves up with a little water, before
heading back to bed. They wouldn't get much sleep before they had to get
back up again, but it had been worth it. Simon and Daniel had been
intimate, something Simon had dreamed of for months!
