I gave Sorhen an order to capture ships and tow them to Sea Dragon Point,then i colapsed.I woke up feeling burning on skin, when i opened my eyes i saw maester Luvin putting some kind of herb mixture on my wound. "Oh you came back atlast, good here take some water". I drunk water with strange taste but then it hit me, he said "atlast". "maester, how long have i slept".I couldn't believe when I heard maesters answer "you have been unconciouse for forthnight". "What! Is everybody good my men, are they alive, Theon and Robb are they good" Maester smiled and told me that my men are repairing Seastar and two ironmens ship now are mine and that Robb is safe at Winterfell. "Oh that reminds me lord Eddard asked me that i tell you that he wants you in Winterfell when you are fully recovered, i will acompany you since i think you will"."Alright then lets go" i said but as quikly i stood that quikly i fell to bed. I woke next day feeling my strenght in my arms. I went in kitchen and started devouring food mostly fish and bread.After that i put my clothes and packed necessities for the road and went to maester to call him to come with me. "Ah you are up, you want to go right now dont you want to rest"? "I was resting for to long I'm done with that bed". I saw Luvin starting to pack his things and writing a letter and sending raven somewhere. I asked what is that but he sternly cut me with "my lord business ". We started our journey to Winterfell but Sorhen came along with us. Road to Winterfell was interesting and really long.I was telling maester Luvin of my time in Citadel and other endeavours. Then he asked why i haven't completed my links to become maester. "Well Luvin i want to thank you for me even going to Citadel, if it wasn't for you and your books about great men i would never see great world out there and i would be forever aprentice of blacksmith, so my friend thank you".Maester smiled and said that he didn't want to give me that books or to learn me to read. "But my lord insisted telling that he sees something in you, now i know what". I could't belive what he told me but i skipped the topic and answered "well i didn't answer your question, i couldn't take maesters oath because of a woman in Oldtown. Her name was Myra and i loved her"."Was" maester noticed. "Yes was, she died by the hands of greedy petty lord of Oldtown. Her family owned some coin to him, they gave him back little by little but he was always rasing interest to the point they couldn't pay anymore. So one night i found her and her family dead in front od burning house.That is turning point for me as i saw that i may be serving under bad lord as this one,so i quit". I saw pain maesters eyes and small smirk on the lips that disapired when he told me "i'm sorry for your loss, but not all lords are greedy and bad look at our lord Eddard, Starks are always good to its people." "Aye i am honored to serve lord Eddard as overseer of construction at Sea Dragon Point, he is good man".Five days pasted before we arrived at Winterfell.I was suprised to see other lords there,i saw Manderly, Mormont,Dustin,Glover,Hornwood,Karstark,Cervyn, Umber, Reed banners ,so i understood that something important is happening otherwise lord wouldn't summon me so fast after my injury.I saw ser Rodrick talking to lord Wayman Manderly and lady of Bear Island, so i came to greet him. "ser Rodrick how are you doing,my lord, my lady". Manderly looked me almost discusted and confused and said "who the hell you think you are to speak to me without my permission".Ser Rodrick interupted him from saying anything else "my lord! Thats Edric, overseer and man who saved Theons and young lords life and repeled theironborn". "And killed Adric the Unsmiling in single commbat"i added. The look in his face was red with his lips moving up and down, awkard silence was interupted by lady Maege adding that i did immposible" you made a proud Manderly feel uncomfortable in his shoes". That did't helped situation get better but atleast Wayman reluctanly said "thank you for your service". In that moment servant girl came to escort me to my guesst room, i asked her what is happening here and why so many lords of North has gathered here. She told me that lord Eddard has invited every important man in North for a feast of celebrating return of his heir. It made sense, but i still wondered what im doing here over so many lords and ladies what ordinary Overseer doing with nobility. In my room i had a bath and put my good clothes and joined feast that already began. When i got into great hall i sat on the left with soldiers and merchants and started drinking and eating. After some time lord Eddard stood and started recolecting good times with all his present lords, he spoke to them individualy not speaking in general terms but then he shifted the subject "but in times of peace we often soften up and start to think that war would never come again". I never heard that silence in my life, they were so concerned. "As we thought that ironmen would never atack after their last rebellion , but they did and it would be fatal for me and my son if it was not for Edric my overseer for Sea Dragon Point". He pointed at me, that caused other lords to look me all confused. "he with his men killed all rebellious ironmen and saved Theon and Robb from death. So i think he deserves a small reward don't you agree"?"Aye" everyone yelled. "Edric, approach". I was feeling uncomfortble and proud at the same moment. "From now on you will be known as a lord of Sea Dragon Point". I was suprised as was all the lords behind. My only word were "my lord ?" He ignored my question and proceeded" now you have to choose what name of your house is going to be"Although i was still open mouthed i quickly knelt and said "Froster my lord, you found me almost dead in my mothers arms on the morning frost and brang me here and gave me life, and now i give you my word that i will give my life for you and that house Froster will serve Starks of Winterfell to the end of our days. Lord Eddard the silent wolf smiled and said raising a glass "to the Edric Froster, lord of Sea Dragon Point"!"To lord Edric" others respond, some halfheartedly some was honestly pleased with me becoming lord. Reeds, Mormonts and Kartstarks didnt mind that i was rewarded with lordship, others especialy Glovers who are close to my land, less so. When i returned to my table soldiers greeted me with "my lord" same as merchants but they emediatly began negotiating and competing for my favor so i decided to use that. I told them that i need seeds of carot, barly, wheat,rye. They finally calmed down and offered a price for that one said 30 golden dragons, others seeing me not responding to that offered 27 some 24 some 20. "I will glady doing business with man who offer me price of 18 golden dragons.Merchant of the name Bryce told me" we have a deal my lord".I told him to bring me these seeds in three moons time. Then maester as he saw that i need saving. We went in room that had some peace, he took book and ink and with serious face asked "did you think what your coat of arms will look like". I tought for a minute and described him that upper side will be olive green and bottom side will have blue colour of deep sea."I see and what about your crest". "let it be a white weirwood tree, i saw a lot weirwood and hearth trees on peninsula". "Very well i will tell servants to start sewing a couple of this",maester added . Then he asked me of my house words. I decided after few bad ones for
"Deeds, Not Words".Maester nodded agreeing that this words may be seen as a treat for enemies or message for next generations. I had been waiting for days for lord Eddards instructions for a future. Finally he invited me to his solar where was also a man in Manderly colours.He introduced me to this short and thin man as former captain of the one White Harbor ships Liddard was his name.
