It was a sun filled day in May. The air was calm and warm. Braythaw stood tall. Taller than usual. Classes finished at around 2 o'clock, and one by one- the students went off back to their dormitories. For they had to prepare themselves for the night to come. The “party of the century”, as it...

The Haunted Forest

Hakon crept through the forest carefully. His spear in one hand. His other keeping a small sack filled with dead rabbits over his shoulder. "Do you see anything, Hak?" She said quietly. Hakon looked back and nodded. Seren's eyes were a bright green that stood out...

The Kingsroad

No. No. No.
Aerea stayed a hidden. She swore, under her ragged breath. They will not take me. Aerea's eyes stared at the back of William Thatcher's armour, however- they slowly found their way down to his hilt. She felt an impulse to just grab the weapon from its sheath...

The Kingsroad

No. Aerea's eyes grew wide when she saw the group of men in-front of her and William Thatcher. She quickly hid her face behind William's armour. She didn't see their arms, but, she had to hide herself just in case. I will not let House Whent take me back now. The man...

"Oh." Aerea said, softly. "My apologies, ser." I didn't mean to bring up such painful history. "This Roland fellow seems like a good friend of yours." Aerea said as she used her one hand to brush some of her red hair away from her face. She had thought the name 'Colin...

Aerea listened to him. He seems to have a better life than she had expected. Well, better than the average peasant born in Flea Bottom. I couldn't imagine being a commoner. It must be... difficult.
"So, how did a boy from Flea Bottom become a hedge knight and acquire a...

Storm's End, The Stormlands
-
Keila had been brought to a small hall. Only Ser Ryon and a Baratheon guard accompanied her. Her host of men were made to stay with the horses. As much as they would've liken to, they shouldn't sit and watch their lords play at politics. In the hall, they...

Harrenhal, The Riverlands
-
Warren eyed Kay Baelish carefully as he spoke. "And why do you think my mother and I would need those, my lord?" Warren asked as he sipped another sip of his whitened wine.
Lady Maeve shot a look at him, once again. "We could definitely use them, Warren."...

Harrenhal, The Riverlands
-
"An alliance, you say?" Warren scoffed. He himself thought it was a bit silly to call allying with such a minor house an 'alliance'. "I mean no offense, old friend- but what would House Whent achieve by allying you with House Baelish?" Warren asked. Lady Maeve...

Pyke, The Iron Islands
-
The doors opened. Both Vaughan and Lord Ellar Botley looked at 'em as they did. Siegfried Harlaw entered the hall, and with him he brought his kingly presence. He is so alike Conn. Siegfried waltzed in, a cup of ale in his hand. Although Conn was more proper in...

King's Landing
-
"What is going on here!?" Varic yelled. Cethann was fighting off a man. What is going on here? No one responded to Varic's retort. They just fought on. Varic got angry that no one gave him an actual answer. They just kept on fightin'. "In the name of her majesty, Queen...

Aerea looked at him as he 'bowed'. If you could call it a bow. "I was..." She stopped. I have told him who I am, and once I tell him what happened to me- there is no going back.
"I was on route to Highgarden, via The Rose Road." Aerea started. She used her hand to fix...

Aerea was eating a small bread roll when William Thatcher came forward and sat on a rock adjacent to her own seating position in the damp grass. No. Her eyes widened when he had confronted her on 'who she really was'. She swallowed the clump of roll in her mouth and then...

The Kingsroad

Aerea's eyes opened just as the sun dawned. She was laying in the grass by the tree that she sat against. There was a slight breeze that made Aerea feel somewhat refreshed. Her stump had been cleaned up and its once bloody bandaged had been replaced with a clean one. A...

He put the cup to her lips. "This is what they gave me before..." She stopped. William looked at her. "Before they cut off my hand." She didn't want to drink it. What if he cuts off my other one?
She shook her head as he held the cup. "I... I can't."
Her eyes met with...

Aerea rested her head by the tree that William had laid her down at. It was bark, yet it felt like a pillow. Aerea's eyes fluttered open and shut. I have to stay awake. At least until he fixes my hand. She looked at 'it'. Where her left hand once was. Tears filled her...

"Yes." She said, carefully. "I was born and raised in Flee Bottom." I can't tell him who I am. Friend or foe. I must be careful. "My name is... it's Kora, by the way."
She gripped to William's armour tighter. She was afraid that if she let go and fell off, she would be...

"William Thatcher."
The man said as he reined his horse. Aerea held on to him tightly with her arms. She saw that her stump was bleeding profusely, and her bandage has gone almost entirely red. Red like my hair. "I am-" She stopped herself. "I need to get home."
As...
