-Storm`s End-

Arian Durrandon could hear the angry screams of his father, King Argilac Durrandon, often called Argilac the Arrogant. He had received a response from Aegon Targeryan. Argilac had offered his daughters hand to Aegon. However, Aegon had declined, saying that, "having two wives is more than enough for any man" Instead, had given Argilac the option to marry Argella to Orys Baratheon, a close friend of Aegon.

"That fool!" Argilac angrily exclaimed. "He would have me marry my daughter of to some bastard boy! How dare he?!" Arian simply sighed at his father`s outburst. He didn`t understand why the Storm King got THIS mad over Aegon`s reply. He understood the part with the bastard, but nothing else.

"He is far too proud" Arian muttered under his breath.

"Must Father be so loud" Argella sighed in annoyance, entering the hall.

"Like you`ve any right to talk" Arian retorted.

"Oh shut up!" Argella bit back. The two siblings had never gotten along well. There were times Argilac worried they would kill each other. Another scream was heard from the Storm King`s quarters. This one however, was a screech of agony. The royal siblings fell silent. They shared a worried yet confused glance. As the door burst open, King Argilac stormed past his two children.

"Father?" Arian called out. He received no response, almost as if the Storm King didn`t even hear him.

"What`s his problem?" Argella asked confused. Arian gave no response, more focused on the maester tending to a screaming man.

Arian marched to his chambers in frustration. The Ironborn were attacking the shores of the Stormlands once again. Argilac ordered knights to deal with them quickly. Arian requested to ride out with the knights. However, his father declined, telling him stay at Storm`s End. This angered the Storm Prince, causing him to storm off.

As he entered his chambers, he slammed the door shut. This caused the servants who passed jump lightly. Arian threw himself onto his bed with a groan.

"Father is a fool" he stated aloud. The Storm Prince stared at the celling. Before falling asleep from pure boredom, he went over to his desk. He flipped through the pages of a history book. While this helped, his frustration was apparent, especially when he read about great battles. A knock on his door brought him out of his thoughts. Opening the door, Arian saw his sister, Argella.

"Father wishes to speak with you" she stated.

"He didn`t leave to fight?" Arian asked.

"The Storm King has no business fighting reavers and rapers" Argella spoke plainly. "Just go meet with him" Arian rolled his eyes and walked past his sister. After climbing around 50 steps, he stood outside the chambers of the Strom King. He knocked on the door.

"Enter" he heard Argilac say. Arian opened the door and saw his father seated at a desk. "Sit" the Storm King commanded. Arian did as he was told to.

"Why Father? Why didn`t you let me fight?" he asked.

"You are my son and heir, the next in line to rule the Stormlands. I won`t send you out to die" Argilac replied.

"You know I can fight and they`re nothing more than reavers and rapers" Arian stated.

"That is not the point" Argilac retorted. "I will not let you ride out there just so you can get yourself killed trying to find some meaningless glory. How many men do you think have died trying to be heroic?"

"Father-" a harsh slap from his father cut him off.

"If you keep up that mindset, you`ll only bring ruin to our House" Argilac said.

"...Right" Arian spoke, looking down on at the floor in shame.

"I need your help to reclaim the lands Harren the Black has taken from us. That help can`t come if you`re rotting in the ground" Argilac stated. "You may lack experience, but you are a skilled fighter. I hoped that Aegon whatshisname could have helped us."

"But he declined your offer" Arian stated, seeing the anger returning to his father`s face.

"The nerve" Argilac growled. "Well no matter. He was an idiot if he declined that generous of an offer."

"Even though the lands you offered weren`t yours give?" Arian asked. Argilac ignored the question, causing his son to sigh. "If that was all, I must be going" the Storm Prince said.

"Then leave" Argilac stated bluntly. Arian rose from his seat once again, bowed, and left the chambers of the Storm King. As he did, a maester passed him and handed something to the King. Arian didn`t bother to see what it was however.

A/N: And so it begins, the tale of Prince Arian Durrandon. This is a story I`ve wanted to make for a while now and I finally have the motivation and information I needed. If you have any suggestions, questions or concerns, feel free to let me now through a review or a PM. Anyways, thank you all for reading and have a fantastic evening.

Edit: After some consideration, I decided to change Arian`s personality to what I intended to be like
