BLOOD, STEEL & ICE

Chapter 1-House Robertson

"C'mon, you lazy arses! Hit me!" the man in armour said, as a number of his recruits charged at him. Smirking, the man quickly parried the first attack, causing the sword's holder to fall off balance, before grabbing him and throwing him towards the other two attackers, sending all three of them sprawling. As they struggled to get to their feet, the man stabbed his sword into the ground, before nodding to his man outside the ring. Nodding, the man rang a bell on a post, signalling the sparring was at an end. Pulling the man he had parried to his feet, the armoured individual spoke.

"Next time..."he started, before grabbing his recruit's arm, and pulling the shield he was holding up, "...keep your shield up, or I'll ring your head like a bell! Understand?", the man asked, his recruit nodding. "Right, now run along."the man said, patting his recruit on the shoulder, before turning to his man outside the ring. "Well done, m'lord!"the man said, to which the armoured man replyed, "How many times do I have to tell you, Ser Ryan? Call me Adam." This caused a few seconds of silence, before the two men burst out laughing. "Anyway, how you address me doesn't matter, Ryan. Any idea where Libby is?"Adam asked, Ryan simply shaking his head for a reply. "Most likely, she's in the courtyard, practicing."Ryan said, before Adam nodded. With that, Adam took his leave.


It didn't take long for Adam to find his sister, who was currently aiming at a target, as their elder brother Jamie watched. Adam noticed a nagging feeling in the back of his head, so he turned around and looked up, spotting both his mother and father on a balcony, watching the three siblings. Stepping up to Libby, who was hesitating to loose an arrow, Adam whispered in her ear, "Go on, father's watching." This caused Libby to lower her bow, and look at her parents, who simply nodded, signalling her to continue. Thus, Libby raised her bow again, and loosed the arrow...

Only for it to fly completely over the target, and into the trees on the other side of the courtyard walls. This caused Adam and Jamie to start laughing, only for their father to harshly reprimand them with, "And which one of you was a marksman at 10?", before looking at Libby. "Keep practicing, Libby."he said, causing his daughter to draw her bow back again, but this time, her brothers gave her some advice. Adam leant down next to her and said, "Don't think too much, Libby.", whereas Jamie gave her the advice of "Relax your bow arm." Following their advice, Libby loosed her arrow, and this time, she scored a direct hit to the bullseye. This caused Adam and Jamie to start applauding their little sister, who was shocked she had made a succeessful shot.

Meanwhile, Ser Ryan had made his way up to the balcony, where the children's parents, Lord Jon Robertson and Lady Lisa Robertson were standing. "My Lord, m'lady."Ryan said, bowing to both of them, "A message just arrived for you. A deserter from the Huntsmen has been caught." This caused Lord Jon's face to darken. After a brief moment, he nodded and spoke. "Get the horses saddled, and the lads armoured." As Ser Ryan turned to leave, the voice of Lady Robertson stopped him. "Do you have to?"she asked her husband, who solemly replied with, "They swore an oath, Lisa. They vowed to protect us against the Grimm, and they broke that vow. For that, they must die." He then turned to Ser Ryan again. "Tell Libby she's coming too." With a brief bow, Ryan left, as Lisa spoke to her husband. "Jon, 10 is too young to see such things. Not only that, she's a girl!"she said, causing her husband to turn to her again. "Aye, she's a girl, but she chose the life of the warrior. She'll have to get used to it. Also, she won't be 10 forever. And the Grimm Eclipse is approaching."he said, before he took his leave, leaving his wife to look out over the courtyard.


5 Hours Later...

After a hard ride, Lord Robertson and his children, Adam, Jamie and Libby, as well as a number of their guard, including Ser Ryan, had arrived at a circle of stone structures. Currently, a pair of Robertson guards had dragged the unfortunate Huntsman before their Lord, who had asked him his name. The man had simply remained silent. Lord Robertson had then nodded to his men, who had forced the man to his knees, as Ser Ryan held a sword's scabbard out to Lord Robertson. Pulling out a gargantuan blade, Lord Robertson stabbed the sword point into the ground and started reciting the formal rites of execution. As he did, Adam stepped up to Libby and said, "Don't look away. Father will know if you do." With that, there was silence, as Lord Robertson continued giving the Huntsman his last rites:

"In the name of Bartholomew, of the House Schnee, First of His Name, King of the Realm and Keeper of the Peace, I, Jon, of House Robertson, Lord of the Black Keep, and Guardian of the North, sentence you to die. Would you speak your final words?" Lord Robertson asked, with the captured Huntsman simply mumbling incoherently. With that, Lord Robertson raised the sword, and brought it down, swiftly decapitating the Huntsman, causing Libby to jump, but not look away from the scene, causing Adam to congratulate her. "You did well."was all he said, before he climbed up onto his horse, as their father approached Libby, who was tightening a strap on her saddle.

"Do you know why I had to do it?"Jon asked, which caused Libby to answer, "He was a deserter. The punishment for desertion is death." This caused her father to nod, before he spoke again. "But do you know why I had to kill him?"he asked, which caused Libby to shake her head. "I had to kill him, as due to the ancient laws of our house, the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." This caused Libby to think for a moment, before nodding in understanding. "Good. Now, let's go home."Lord Robertson said, helping Libby up into her saddle. Within five minutes, the whole group were heading back to their castle, the Black Keep, the ancestral seat of House Robertson for 5 centuries, and the centralmost point of power in the Northern realm of the Eight Kingdoms of Remnant. They quickly retired to their quarters after stepping down from their saddles...


A/N: And so it begins! Yes, if the two of you out there who've seen the first episode of GoT can't put it together, House Robertson is based off of House Stark, and House Schnee is based off House Baratheon. There's two more chapters to be uploaded tonight, so I hope you enjoy them! Madman out!
