Alistair's Rose

"I remember thinking, how could something so beautiful exist in a place with so much despair and ugliness? I probably should have left it alone, but I couldn't. The darkspawn would come and their taint would just destroy it. So I've had it ever since . . . . I thought that I might…give it to you, actually. In a lot of ways, I think the same thing when I look at you."

The quote is, obviously, from Alistair in Dragon Age: Origins and it all belongs to Bioware, wonderful symbolism and all. David Gaider is a genius.

In case you care, this makes a lovely desktop wallpaper.
