"Father! Father! FATHER!"
The disturbance jolted him, his steady arm jerked and the nock of the arrow slipped from his fingers, firing forward with an altered aim. The arrow flew away and pierced the outer ring, missing the target which already had an arrow embedded.

Ser Rodrik Cassel had one and so did his wife. According to his father, his grandparents had one too. However, his father didn't have it. And neither did his siblings.

His hands automatically moved to rub the mark on his shoulder.
To him it was more like a curse. He should never have the privilege. He didn't deserve it. It was all in vain.
Night watch never took wives.
Thank you for travelling so far, my lord. I hope the seas weren't too rough?

But please review and give me your feedback. Should I continue this or not?
Oh! I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. (Just like Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth song as tribute to Paul Walker.)
