Andromeda
Chapter Two
Many watched as her curvy figure sat on the chair, her eyes gentle and kind, Bran sat across from her peering at her with interest but kept his lips sealed. Eddard Stark had proudly looked at the young girl and admired her for her growth and courage, Lady Stark sent her a kind smile and praised her with light words. Arya had roughly bit into the chicken making Andromeda laugh lightly, Sansa quietly sipped her soup as she opened her ears to the conversation and Robb talked with Andromeda about the recent events that passed.
The feast had begun as the Starks and their soldiers ate, most could not help but drool at the site of the Andromeda, from the site of her creamy ivory skin, her busty chest or the curves that displayed her body beautifully, they couldn't help but be pulled in anonymously. Thane grunted as he slammed his fork into the table, making the man across from him look at him with shock, Thane glared darkly at the man seeing as he wanted to castrate the man himself.
His fingers curled around his fork, "move your eyes." The soldier blushed turning his eyes away, beside him Bancroft let out a small laugh taking a bite of the baked chicken. He looked at the young and stubborn soldier with a grin, raising his fork to him, "stubborn, you are." He took another bite, resulting in Thane narrowing his eyebrows at him, he hadn't always enjoyed that Bancroft was always wise and accurate with his words. He turned away, "she is a Queen." He took another bite, "what are you? Nothing but a soldier." Thane released a huff looking over to the older man.
Fingers tightened around his fingers as he took a bit of the chicken, "I am a part of the Royal Guard for her Queen." He claimed stabbing into his chicken as he done so, "you must know that the Queen is a gentle being, her beauty is something that could break a man, her strength more power than two hundred soldiers. The Starks love her dearly, it is possible that she may even come to love one of them." Bancroft glanced over to Robb seated near Andromeda as she laughed at his joke then moved his gaze to the bastard.
Jon Snow. The bastard of Eddard Stark, he had seen the way he looked at Andromeda like she was his long lost love, the way his arms wrapped around her body was similar to the embrace of lover's, he was in love with her though he seemed to be aware that he is a bastard and is not worthy of being with Andromeda, unless she demands it. Bancroft sighed glancing at the silent soldier, Thane the cold-hearted soldier who had melted at the sight of Andromeda when she first met him.
Bancroft had been Andromeda's personal guard for many years until she had met Thane, the ruthless young boy who rose the to the ranks of the Royal Guards. The boy had fought with Andromeda and had lost to her, many soldiers knew of her strength but kept quite since Thane had previously thought he was superior and stronger. When Thane had lost it was as if he had lost his pride as well, something he had been building for many years, though with Andromeda's kind nature he couldn't hold the grudge.
The two became closer as eventually Thane was granted the task to be Andromeda's permanent guard, the story was short, but when told by Andromeda she adored reminiscing about the fated friendship the two had, Thane would remain quiet as she would talk. Bancroft's dark eyes moved to Lord Stark's son, Robb, the man was handsome with the curly hair and seemed to be in the current process of training to be the next Lord. He admired the way he adapted to the position without pressure or hesitation and was prideful in doing so.
Robb talked with Andromeda with interest and love, both emotions evident in his eyes, Bancroft hadn't been surprised though it appeared to angered Thane. The feast had ended after a while were the sky became darker and the winds became colder, servants then came around and began to pick the plates and remains of food on the tables, Andromeda frowned lightly at this action and gently rose from her seat and began to help the servants. Lady Stark gasped, "Andromeda. Please leave the cleaning to the servants." She looked at the young girl as she gathered stacks of plates in both of her hands.
Andromeda smiled at her, "Catelyn, the night has reached it's darkest. Everyone should sleep early tonight." This lead to Eddard laughing lightly, he was slowly being amazed at the girl. Jon plucked the handful of dishes from her and drawn them close to his stomach, Andromeda cocked her head to the side, "I suppose I shall help the Lady." This brought a bright smile to her face as she poked at him through his light armor, "how kind of you Jon." She turned away as she reached for another dish but was swiped from her fingers.
She faced the eyes of Robb's seeing the blue eyes lock with her's a mysterious glint crossing over them, "Robb?" He picked up another plate with a grin as the servants looked even happier, "it is dark, we must hurry if you wish to sleep." He grinned at her, she felt her breath tightened as she shook her head picking up another plate. Eddard and Catelyn watched as all of their children and Andromeda and even her Direwolves help the servants clean the hall.
Eddard sighed looking over to Robb, "he holds feelings for her." Catelyn nodded, "Aye." Her husband looked over to her, "we should hope they could marry, they are young. Their love is yet blossoming." She smiled watching Andromeda pick another stack of plates and head towards the kitchen, the hall was cleaned as the only people remaining in the hall was Robb and Andromeda, she sighed lightly she as the hall was clean. Robb stood beside her his forehead sweaty, he wasn't ever aware of the hard work his servants had gone through and promised to lessen the work for them.
Andromeda pushed the strands of hair behind her ear, "I will escort you to your chambers." She nodded as he led her out of the doors outside into the dark night, her three Direwolves trailing closely by her along with Grey Wind by Robb's side. She stopped for a moment and looked up to the stars closing her eyes, Robb noticed her behind and turned around to find the loose expression on her lips and her arms spread out as the wind brushed through her hair.
Robb stared at her admiring everything, "the wind feels relaxing." She locked eyes with Robb as he moved back towards her, his eyes roaming her legs to her chest and eventually her piercing blue eyes, something that had unwillingly drawn him in. He sucked his breath in as she leaned forward, "you have become more handsome, Robb." Her eyes twinkled and Robb felt his heart race at her direct words, she licked her lips and stared at him awaiting his next words.
Craning her neck, "as have you." He breathed out, she smiled at his words, she seemed relieved, which shocked Robb that his words mattered much. She passed him gracefully, "for many moons I wondered how would everyone react when meeting me again, I wanted to be someone admirable and strong in your eyes." He stepped unsure of her words though still responded, "you have become strong. You are a Queen. One that rules a kingdom from the over the sea's." At each word he spoke, the evidence of the coldness would show as the puff of air would form.
She nodded, "true that is. I just wonder if I am doing the right thing," Robb drifted behind her, "I should make my kingdom known to the Lannister's." She faced Robb's eyes furrowed, "if you do. You must know of the disadvantages it comes with it." She nodded, her fingers curling behind her back as she looked up the stars sparkling and shining in the dark night. She took a small breath, "Queen Cersei seems to be fierce but I am sure I would be able to counter here." Robb felt his heart thump again.
Her voice was simply hypnotizing as her words were smooth and graceful, "the eighth kingdom should be known by everyone else, therefore with our help, there will be peace between every house and kingdom." Robb smiled at her intentions, she was truly kind-hearted and desired mainly peace. Robb stopped in front of her face, she looked up at him her eyes wandering along every feature on his face, from the curves of his lips and the dark blue eyes, something that made her wonder.
Carelessly Robb's fingers came up brushing her curls away and stared at her, he watched her cheeks flushed with the cold and her bright blue eyes locked with his, "I haven't told you." He breathed out, his voice nothing but a whisper, "when we were younger and I first met you, I felt something unreal." His fingers calmly brushed over his lips, her fingers curled around his fur, she knew what he wanted yet not didn't desire it as much though she still wanted it.
Andromeda stared at Robb as he whispered to her, "unlike the girls here, you were powerful and beautiful and seemed to love Grey Wind as much as me." He leaned forward resting his forehead against her, "in other words, it was love at first sight." Pulling himself closer to her, the young wolf gently pressed a kiss against her lips, the feeling made his legs wobble as he felt the softness of his lips the feeling making his inner wolf awaken.
He pulled her closer feeling as her fingers tightened into his furs, feeling the softness of her hair made his mind spiral with emotions, he wanted her badly, no, he needed her. Soon he pulled away watching as her red lips remained bright and his heart pounding so hard against his chest that it threatened to break his ribs, she looked up to him awaiting his next words. He then pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, "let me take you to your chambers." He wanted to kiss her lips more and feel the bareness of her skin against his.
Though his inner wolf wanted to claim her roughly, he decided to smoothly take her to her chambers. The night passed quickly and soon light had passed through the window's of Robb's chambers, he huffed as he woke up remaining sweaty and his member hardened, he had a dream about the lovely Queen Andromeda, he had taken her many ways from the bathroom, kitchen, chambers and even in the forest, he could still recall the sinful sounds she made as she cried in pleasure for her releases.
Robb got to his feet seeing the hardened member evident in his pants, his skin sweaty as he panted lightly, despite going to bed right after dropping Andromeda he wished that he could remain to sleep and still have her enticing body underneath him. He sighed, gripping his member, he would have to deal with this before leaving his room.
The sounds of people talking and the loud sound of the blacksmith creating his armor had filled Andromeda, her fingers brushed along the mane of her horse, Night, she had noticed that he was unwell and decided to treat the horse. Though she frowned seeing as the horse hadn't gotten better immediately, the horse rubbed his nose against her hands letting out a small sound as if to reassure her, she smiled sadly, "I am simply worried for you" Night nudged his head.
He looked at her his dark beading eyes locked with her's as if she could read them she nodded in response, "I understand." Night appeared to be telling her that he is fine and well, she then began to smooth his hair gently her fingers running through the soft hair, "you act as if you know what he is saying." She turned to the voice, seeing as Jon clutched a bale of hay, he gently placed it on the ground as he glanced over at her, she let out a small laugh still touching Night.
Her words soft, "well I suppose I have a bond with animals." Jon grinned as he fed the horse, her words were very true, Andromeda crouched down as she noticed Ghost. She smiled opening her arms as she welcomed Ghost, he quickly ran into her arms, she let out a light giggle collapsing to her bottom. The red-eyed Direwolf had shown her great affection that he been holding back, the three other Direwolves behind her peered at Ghost with interest seeing that she held many affections for him.
He purred as her fingers had wrapped around him and provided him with warmth, "Ghost." Jon called behind, his lips unturned, Ghost glanced back at Jon, then proceeded to dig deeper into Andromeda's arms, she laughed harder as the wolf pursued in licking her face wildly. Jon couldn't help but admire her laughs that filled the stables, unlike yesterday she had held half of her hair up but today she let it all down allowing her hair to framed her heart shaped face.
Her Direwolves came close and began to circle around the pair, "Ghost is okay." She spoke gently, two of the wolves came forward and began to nip at Ghost playfully, he noticed this and had done the same back, the other wolf remained farther from the three and just watched. Jon made his way over to her, giving him his hand, she took it as he helped her gently to her feet, "thank you." She then began to brush away the bits of dirt and hay from her clothes.
She made her way over to Jon, her hands behind her back, she stared at him for a few moments letting the silence spread in the stable, "is something the matter Andromeda?" He could feel the light blush on his neck as she looked at him, it was as if she was looking through him and could seek what was in his heart. She took a deep breath as she brushed the hair of a different horse Jon was feeding, "perhaps I could spend the rest of the day with you." She asked quietly.
His eyes widened but he remains relaxed, "today I am doing nothing much." Craning her neck she surveyed him and shown a gentle smile, "you mean today we are doing nothing much." He looked over and couldn't help but feel the small laugh itch at the back of his throat, he truly did miss her, she began to walk as the four wolves followed her, she then turned back to Jon with a gentle smile, then did she see how much she looked like as a Queen.
Her posture tall as she had four strong Direwolves at her sides which have proven to be difficult in taming, "shall we go?" As Jon took her to the archery range he briefly explained everything around them, similar to a small tour, she would gasp at everything as he provided small history and would tell the short tales of his past. Jon couldn't help but notice the looks others around her had given her, he felt both pride and excitement seeing as the people who watched her envied her.
An older man passing with a large box had walked in the front of Jon and Andromeda, the box has proven to be heavy for the older man, nearly falling forward Andromeda rushed forward and caught the box in time, the older man knees on the ground. Andromeda quickly dropped to the ground in shock, "sir. Are you alright?" The man seemed shocked as the woman talked to him with concern and worry, yet he was more shocked about her easily being able to carry the box.
The people around them watched the Queen help the man, he slowly rose to his feet but flinched, Andromeda noticed this and gasped placing the box down which landed with a thump. Her hands carefully went around the man as she stared at his knee, "Queen. Please do not bother yourself with me." He clenched his teeth, Andromeda's hands gently grasped his arms and placed them around her shoulder, "Jon. Please take the box." He nodded lifting the box, though was surprised at the weight of it.
"Sir. Where does it belong?" The man wearily looked up, "the blacksmith." Jon quickly nodded, "I will take him to his room." She then began to rise the man leaned more on her body trying not to put pressure on her body, she smiled as the man was cautious and didn't wish to hurt her. "It is okay. Put pressure on my body if needed." She gently guided him to his room, where the whispers of her kindness had flooded the House of Starks when she arrived at his room she helped him onto the bed.
Slowly after doing so, Jon arrived with Ghost leading him, "how is he?" He asked, Andromeda, touched his knee lightly hearing the man hiss and didn't attempt to bend his knee, "seems like he possibly cracked it or broke it." Jon nodded again, "I will call for the mester." She shook her head and when he hadn't noticed she grabbed his hands, he was shocked by this and halted in his steps. He turned to seeing as he was slightly shocked, "do not call for him." Jon's eyebrows furrowed as she gently released his hands.
She breathed out, "I will heal him myself." She spoke lightly, Jon looked at her with shock, "you have the power to heal." She nodded giving him a grateful smile, the old man looked at the young girl as if she was mad, the power to heal was an ability out of this world, one that must never exist though his thoughts stopped forming as the girl gently placed her soft hands on his knee and closed her eyes, a few quiet moments formed as the old man felt the pain disappear and the movement of his knee much better than before.
He looked at her with shock, "h-how did you?" She smiled as the man was able to freely move his leg, "it is a gift that has been blessed by both the old and new Gods." He smiled largely at the young girl, "I am sorry for touching you without your permission, but may I ask for your name?" The older gentlemen felt honored as he was asked for his name by a Queen that is both beautiful and kind, "my name is Grant, my Lady." She smiled as she slowly got up.
She pushed away a strand of her hair, "you may call me Andromeda, the terms you use are too formal." She placed the chair back, "h-how can I repay you?" She shook her head, "nothing needs to be repaid. Though if you feel pain, you must come to me." She smiled beautifully at him, he couldn't help but be drawn into agreeing with her, Jon had quietly observed her actions and words and only had led to leading him to adored her even more than before.
Gently taking Jon's hand she tugged on his hand when they reached outside, "come. Take me to the archery range." He blushed but quietly directed her as she tugged him along, she then found Bran and Robb, Bran holding the bow his fingers trembling slightly as he done so. He released the arrow which made it fall short, she brought Jon closer to the pair, forgetting their hands had been wrapped together. Robb noticed this instantly and locked eyes with his half-brother, "Bran, good morning." Andromeda greeted the young Stark as she parted hands with Jon.
"Good morning, Andromeda." He replied with a light smile, "archery. It has been a while since I last tried using a bow and arrow." She tilted her head, she reached for a bow feeling the rough texture against her hands, Robb watched her with careful eye he had instantly known that their hands had been interlocked before and didn't let the action slip by, he narrowed his eyes watching Jon, he loved his half-brother, bastard or not, but when coming to Andromeda he loved her more.
She smiled breathlessly, "come on guys. Why don't we have a little game?" She winked at the two, Robb learning from the beam stood beside her with a large grin as Jon let out a light laugh, "if I recall you lost when we were younger." Robb spoke with a mischievous glint in his eyes, she pouted at his words, "I never tried to learn how to use a bow before." The action caused Robb's heart to thump as he looked down to her lips, the blush red color that seemed to be the softness thing to feel ran across his mind.
Jon took another bow and tossed it to his brother who easily caught it, "what shall the loser do?" Andromeda cocked her hip out and placed a finger to her chin as her eyes wandered, the boys continue to silently admire her well-formed figure. She gasped, "they have to miss their dinner." Jon chuckled lightly as Robb raised an eyebrow, "that is child's play, no?" He tilted his head as he thought it, Andromeda quietly watched as the two men swapped words back and forth.
Robb sucked in his breath, "the winner gets to spend the night with Andromeda." The girl simply kept her lips sealed knowing the true intentions of both boys, she heard the light steps behind her and caught the eyes of Thane and Bancroft, Thane's hardened gaze remained cold until he seen Andromeda she let out a gasp as she greeted the two. Thane's posture changed as he stood taller, "good morning, Andromeda." She walked carelessly towards him with a bright smile.
She tilted her head, "it is a surprise to see you in the morning." She leaned forward fixing his hair, Bancroft held his urge to laugh seeing as the young solider blush was rising up his neck to his cheeks. She leaned back with a light smile looking satisfied, the Starks had noticed this action and did not let it pass. Quickly Bran gently took Andromeda's hand causing her to let out a surprise, "is it true you are better than my brothers." Thane clenched his fist as the young Stark ruined the moment.
Bran pulled her closer to the range as she watched Robb take up a bow and ready himself, "when we were younger she had been the one who lost to everything." Jon stifled a laugh as he recalled the angered Andromeda who had failed multiple times though yet she was hard-headed and desired to become better, showing that she was ambitious and hard-working something both of the brothers had found attractive.
Robb pulled the arrow back as Andromeda stared she couldn't help but imagine the muscles underneath his clothing, she sucked in the air seeing the hardened gaze as he looked straight ahead at the target. Taking a deep breath within seconds he released the arrow, piercing the air itself and with a loud smack the arrow pierced the middle, she let out a small breath impressed. Jon noticed this and grinned as he took the bow lifting it quickly up to his shoulder.
Closing one eye he released a breath letting the arrow pierced the center of the target as well, both of the arrows side by side as they seemed to drift way apart from the center, Andromeda lifted her head as she passed Robb flashing him a confident smile, she gracefully took the bow from Jon's hands barely noticing the small and swift figure creeping behind Thane, Arya, who watched with curious eyes to see if the rumors remained to be true about the Queen.
Andromeda's long and soft hair trailed down her back as her chest was exposed showing that her breast had filled the dress more than needed, her long fingers clenched the bow with grace and boldness as the men around her fed her the attention she was born with, pride but yet desire, Bancroft simply admired her from seeing as she greatly improved based on from the past as if she were really his daughter and she was taking her first steps. He was proud to see her show that as a woman she held strength and power, especially with her rank.
Closing her eye she felt the need to show off to the men around her, clenching the bow she drew the arrow back looking for the dead centre, seeing by a blind eye the centre would be seen differently from the naked eye though she managed to see that both boys were off by a bit, that made her secretly grin. She waited for a moment before quickly releasing it, the arrow piercing through the board and landed in the tree directly behind it, gasps spread around her.
Arya let out a barking laugh at Andromeda's actions who gracefully handed the bow back to Jon, the Starks stared at her with wide and shocked eyes. She bowed lifting the ends of her dress, "I suppose I win, gentlemen." She smiled brightly, Arya rushed towards the Queen and bombarded her with millions of questions allowing, who calmly smiled at the girl. Opening her lips she responded to everything Arya Stark remained surprised as she took all the information in and grinned brightly.
Robb managed to make his way over to her with stumbling words, "h-how did you manage to make it pierce through that wood." She craned her neck, giving him the perfect view of the curves of her breast, "I have been practicing for a while." She smiled, though Jon easily noticed the confidence and pride she had in herself, "amazing, you are." Jon spoke as he looked down at her, she turned to him with a lewd smile, "why thank you." She laughed at the end of her words.
Eddard had noticed the group and smiled even bigger, "everyone has gathered around." He smiled as Andromeda locked his own and smiled even brighter, "Robb I was wondering if you would like to take Andromeda to the House of Forresters," Robb responded with a quirked eyebrow, "they needed me to arrive in order to discuss plans about the lumber needed for the shields. I am currently busy here, therefore, I would like to send you and Andromeda to that house to take care of the matters in place of me, Jon go along if you'd like." Andromeda tilted her head at his words.
"Is that okay with you?" Eddard let out a low laugh, "Andromeda. Humble as you are, go, explore the world, Robb and Jon will show you around. You are after all very close to us, so you should know of our affairs after all." He gave a broad smile at her, she smiled as she bowed again, "it would be an honor." Eddard bowed his head, looking at her as he slowly shook his head, "you are a higher rank than me, you shouldn't bow." She stepped forward, the overpowering scent of mixed scents filled the Stark brother's noses.
Her eyes trailed over the tall beams, "respect is something I value dearly. You are a respected person, therefore when I bow that is a show of my respect for you." Eddard tilted his head, "hope that doesn't mean I am an old man." She laughed lightly, "no. Of course not, you are someone I care about." Eddard crossed arms that remained over his chest quickly pulled her in for a warm embrace, the young girl gasped as Eddard wrapped his arms around her.
She clenched her teeth as she closed her eyes feeling the warmth and curled her hands around the large man, she felt this warmth many years ago and that warmth seemed to fade into the abyss. Her hands wrapped tightly around and Eddard knew that she needed this sight of fatherly affection for she was just a young girl who took a position without the help from her father, who was supposed to teach her. She smiled into his arms and hoped to create this feeling to be everlasting.
Gently pulling away with the sounds of the cold wind blowing in her ears she smiled at Eddard, their eyes speaking instead of words escaping their lips. Stepping away with a grateful smile, "you shall leave be today." He smiled to Robb who nodded and began to walk away, Andromeda let out a breathless sigh, that hug was something she had never thought she would need. There was a light slience, "shall we start packing?" She smiled at everyone.
Robb moved forward broken from the gaze and shock from the scene before, "Yes. S-" Thane quickly cut Robb off, "I will take her to her chambers." She watched as both of the boys locked eyes and couldn't help but notice the anger they felt for each other, Robb clenched his teeth as he stretched out a forced smile, he was aware that this trip to House Forrester would allow him to spend more time with Andromeda and a simple rivalry between him, Jon and this solider will do nothing to stop him from taking Andromeda.
Andromeda turned away as Thane followed closely beside her, the three Direwolves trailing by her sides, "let the games begin." She whispered to herself with a light giddy smile. "Did you say something, my Grace?" Thane questioned as he tried to decipher her mumbled words, she shook her head and responded with giving him a breath-taking smile.
"Nothing of the sort, Thane."
Sooooo...
How do you guys like Thane?
In the next scene we will finally meet the Forresters!
And Arthur!
