New Gods Rising

by Rorry Lamb

It storms the day Ostara Baratheon is born. The ocean beats against the shore and the wind tears at the walls of Storm's End and no one notices the magic that lingers in the air. No one notices the fierce sizzle of power bubbling beneath the babe's soft flesh. No one save Death, who sits and waits and smiles.

10. Chapter 10

So I've gotten a few questions about this and then currently a review that I don't quite understand but I know what's being asked and I want to clear some stuff up.

I know that you probably don't mean to be offensive when posting certain reviews but as soon as I learn how to delete reviews I will delete any that I don't want in my reviews.

My Hermione Granger is black, that's how I've always seen her, therefor Ostara/Hermione is black. I didn't think anyone would be overly offended with my deciding to make my Main Character a person of color, I was wrong. If you have a problem with Ostara being black then that's your issue and I would appreciate it if you would refrain from making snippy comments about it or using offensive language to ask me questions.

I want my readers to know that I am not trying to attack anyone. I appreciate your reviews and legitimately value them. I do not, however, feel comfortable with having offensive language in my comments or in my Private Messaging. So if you continue to read this story and wish to review then by all means review, send me PMs, ask my questions, I want people to talk to me about things they don't understand, but I also want people to stop and consider their messages or reviews before they're posted.

The last thing I want is for someone to be offended.

And that being said, if something I write is offensive to anyone please tell me! Of course, depending on why someone's offended I might not change anything but I am more than willing to explain why I won't change it.

Thank you for reading this and I'm worry it's not a chapter update.

Also, I explain that Hermione/Ostara is black in the first chapter when she's born and when she meets Rhaella. Ostara's mom is black, Steffon is white. Robert, Stannis, and Ostara all vary in skin tone. It is possible to have a white child when one parent is Black and the other is white. It has to do with DNA and genetics. I have a hard time explaining it but you can look it up and see.
