Three Years Later...
Three name days old Theon Greyjoy is being chased again by both 10 name days old Rodrik and 7 name days old Maron while 6 name days old Asha trailed behind them trying to catch up. Theon laughed and laughed as he expertly maneuvered through the hallways and towers of Pyke heading straight to the outside world and going to the sea, he was so close to the sea and he's ready to jump into the water when he's suddenly heaved into the air as Rodrik caught him and carried him on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Well, he don't mind the ride but what he do mind is that he doesn't get near a boat.
"I want to sail! I wanna sail! Rodrik!" he shrieked and squirmed as Maron and Asha caught up with them panting.
"You *heave* brat need to *exhale* slow down and go to Lordsport!" Maron said as he still catch up with his breath and then the guards and handmaids caught up with them to take them back to the castle.
Once in the castle they were ushered to the hall where luncheon is being served, Quellon Greyjoy sat at the head of the table with Balon at his right and his lady wife at his left. Alannys is beside her husband while Euron, Victarion and his wife along with Urrigon is beside their stepmother, the children immediately go to their seats except Theon who first paid his respects to his father and mother by kissing them on the cheek which as the years go by everybody silently agreed he's the only one who could do it.
"And where have you gone my children?" Balon asked with an amused smirk looking at his children while keeping Theon beside him with a hand on his shoulder.
"Sea! Sea! Father I want to sail~ and reave!" Theon jumped up and down while looking at his father with big eyes. Quellon gave a disapproving frown while Balon's smirk turned into a grin.
"He wants to drown father, he's going straight to the ocean without any boat." Maron quipped as Rodrik slapped a hand on his back.
Theon lowered his voice and any babyish trace left it as he said "I can swim, I'm blessed with it. If not, why not let me drown and dine with the Drowned God for a while before coming back in his honor harder and stronger.".
Alannys beamed at her baby boy even though it's quite unsettling, "I see you're taking your lessons with the maesters well."
"That, and he's surprisingly gifted with his words." Euron commented as he began eating when Theon had taken his seat beside Asha.
"I agree with that Euron but I can't help that he should be using it for peace instead of riling Maron up."
"Oh father, those are just brotherly camaderie. It's normal." Aeron said.
"My lords! We found a corpse!" A guard rush into view as he drag the corpse bearing no sigil and looking like an average Ironborn except for the gaping hole in his neck.
Theon giggled as he remembered the man, he's planning to make one of his handmaidens his salt wife but no he had seen Asha and is captivated by the girl. If there is one thing Theon never tolerates it is pedophilia.
"What are you laughing at Laughing Kraken?" his nuncle Urrigon asked him as he eyed him suspiciously.
"I killed him since he's going to make Asha his salt wife and rape her especially since she's so young, so there he goes. You found him near Asha's quarters yes?" Theon asked the guard who paled but gave a grave nod.
The reaction of the serving maids, his family, and the guards are various degrees of shock that he stopped smiling for once and said determinedly "I can kill for family. After all here's my first salt wife." he showed them the ceremonial dagger made of gold that his nuncle Rodrik Harlaw gifted him for his first birthday. A kraken adorn the pommel while the hilt is enveloped with black silk and it's long and thin like an ice pick back in his previous life but it can be deadly with how the blade is the size of an arm of a grown man that it looks like a little sword for Theon.
"Oh Drowned God Theon!" Alannys immediately cradled her youngest baby boy, never knowing why out of all his siblings he's the fastest to grow up.
Meanwhile another guard is searching through the dead man's body to give Theon his spoils of kill when he found something... bothering.
"My Lady Asha, forgive me but is this your underclothing?"
"Y-yes, it is."
Balon looked at the body with disdain as he stood up and move near his daughter to calm his thoughts down. "Burn his body!"
Rodrik looked like a puffed up peacock if one would imagine him as an animal right now while Maron paled but his heart earned a spot of respect to his baby brother while Asha wanted to get her father's axe and hack away the corpse balls and dick, Quellon looked sick but agreed to his son to burn the corpse, Euron is looking at Theon with amused and curious eyes as Victarion and Urrigon remained indifferent while Victarion's wife and stepmother turned pale.
'This is certainly not in the books, especially that last year should be the start of Robert's Rebellion... and also Theon killing so young. I guess I should stay under the radar for a bit.'
A month after the incident they receive a raven about Robert's Rebellion, but Quellon still decided to stay neutral. That is after he got a talk with his grandson Theon.
No one knows what Theon told the Lord of Pyke but in the end Balon got his wish to participate in Robert's Rebellion on the Rebellion's side, stating that he wants to crown his father and himself after the rebellion when they win but Robert said that he should win the war with him and he agreed to talk about it. Quellon didn't go into any of the battles but all of his sons did, somehow the only casualty in their family is Urrigon's demise from a sword to the stomach and not from finger dancing game.
Theon waited if Robert would keep his word but he surely doubt it, nonetheless he's already planning his next moves on the Game of Thrones. Nonetheless he would need his grandfather and father and brothers in his goals, to make the Iron Islands great again by finding the coconuts. After all the seafood and plain water he would be sick and Storm God struck you all he needed his coconuts and rice and sugar like Moana needs to find her adventure in the sea. He will distribute it, profit from it, make his own gold and products and all, and go on a voyage while defeating pirates and sing songs from Disney.
After all when he was Angelica he only wanted a happily ever after, now he will get it Game of Thrones be damned since there is always an exception.
