Ellaria looked at Eddard in disableaf ''what so funny is there a joke I missed'' she said ''no'' Eddard answered getting control over himself ''Jon asked before I left Winterfell if he had a mother I told he didn't but now I bring him one''. Ellaria chuckled ''yes, I suppose that is true what is he like'' she asked ''Jon is like every other five name day old boy kind and respectful at times but also full menaces and mischief as well'' Eddard answered ''he sounds like a good boy who is watching over him'' Ellaria asked ''My Maester Luwin is taking care of him'' Eddard replied ''you don't sound happy about it'' ''no I am not I had hoped that my Brother Benjin would come down from the wall while I was away for their must always be a Stark in Winterfell''. Seeing that his demeaner change at the subject of his son Ellaria moved to something else ''how go the preparation for the invasion of the Reach'' she asked ''the go well the last of the preparation are complete we depart for the Reach tomorrow but we are lack a healer'' Eddard said ''you already have one'' Ellaria replied ''I do'' he replied with a confused look on his face ''yes you do I fact you just married her'' Ellaria explained.
Eddard felt himself sigh and go weak ''Ellaria'' he said ''not that I appreciate the offer to help I had thought that you would'' ''would what'' Ellaria yelled ''stay here with a man who threaten to sell me into slavery no I would rather die'' ''no'' Eddard replied '' I would not have you stay here in fact in would have the opposite there is a ship in our fleet called the Winter rose it is caring the last of the wounded men back to White harbor, I would have you on that ship then stay in Hellholt ''.
''and what would you have me do in Whiteharbour wait for you or go on to Winterfell'' Ellaria replied ''the choice would be yours to stay at Whiteharbour or go to Winterfell if you desired to stay in Whiteharbour Wylis Manderley would be more than welcoming'' Eddard answered ''no I cannot and will sit and wait around like some southern noblewomen'' she cried, Eddard laughed ''you area southern noblewomen''. ''no, I am not I am a dornishwoman and we Dornishwoman are not weak, when our men march off to war we march with them, we rule over castles and lands we Dornishwoman are not weak southern woman''.
''You miss stake me Ellaria I am not calling you weak, I simple care for your safety'' Eddard explained, Ellaria sighed ''be as that may I cannot sit idle buy and do nothing I defended Hellholt with my uncle and father, I have healed the injured and grated last rights to the dead and watched the attack of my home and killing of my uncle'' Ellaria stated ''and I cannot change your mind'' asked Eddard asked Ellaria shock her head, Eddard knew he could not fight her if he said no she would just follow anyway he also knew of Ellaria talents he had the wounds to prove it. ''I will let you accompany us, but you will always have a guard with you'' ''thank you for giving me this'' Ellaria said hugging him ''but a guard wont needed'' grasping his hand Ellaria lead Eddard out of the gardens down a corridor to the training yard
Eddard looked on as Ellaria made her way to a sword rack, removed two short swords then turned to face Eddard ''here'' she called tossing a sword to his feet then bring hers up to guard. Eddard looked at Ellaria then down at the sword and backup at her with his eye brow razed, Ellaria just smirked at him ''shall we'' she called at him, Eddard lent down to pick up the sword as he did he felt a jolt of pain go through himself as he did, Ellaria seeing this called to him ''are you okay'' ''I am fine let us start'' Eddard replied moving forward towards her sword at the ready.
Ellaria watched Eddard move forward the few things that her father tort her was sword play was to watch and wait for your Aponte to strike first as Eddard came within striking distance he swung hard at her, Ellaria raised her guard and blocked his attack and pushed him off buy shoulder charging him with all her weight knocking Eddard back and forwarded her advantage but thrusting her sword at him However Eddard dodged the attack struck her sword down then tripped her up on her back ''do you yield'' Eddard said Ellaria just smirked again and kicked Eddard legs bring him to his knees then wrestled him to the ground ''do you yield'' she asked
Eddard looked up at Ellaria though she was not as abled as himself with a sword she was resourceful and has skill ''yes I yield'' he answered Ellaria got up off Eddard and held out her hand to help him up, Eddard reached to grab her hand as he did he winched in pain and fell back to the ground Ellaria to his side to help him up ''we have to get you inside to examine your wound'' she said pulling his arm over her neck and shoulder ''ready'' eddard nodded and the rose together
By the time the pair arrived Ellaria room, Ellaria herself was exhausted having carry her heavier, taller and injured husband across Hellholt placing Eddard on the bed ''strip'' she said to Eddard, Eddard removed his pants and shirt remaining in his smallclothes as Ellaria examined his wound, ''you have broken some of the stitching and reopened the wound we are going to have remove the thread'' she explained to Eddard as turned leave the room, Eddard nodded in response and waited for Ellaria return he did not wait long as she return quickly ''I need you to hold this'' Ellaria said handing Eddard a bandage as she began to remove the broken thread.
Ellaria worked as quickly and carefully as she could as not to tear Eddard's skin or leave any thread to cause infection as ready to remove the last of it Ellaria looked up at Eddard ''ready'' she asked ''yes'' Eddard replied as moved his hand that held the bandage to his wound. Ellaria the last of the thread and Eddard applied pressor to it then rose from her knees and walked to the fire place and lit it then place a knife the fire
''we are going to have to cauterize your wound in order to seal it'' Ellaria said ''ok'' Eddard replied ''this is going to hurt'' ''I have suffered worst'' Ellaria just sighed as she checked the blade after check as poured a cup of milk of the poppy and gave it to Eddard ''you need to drink all of this'' Eddard took the drink and drank as Ellaria back to the knife seeing that was ready she removed it and faced Eddard ''lay down'' Eddard did as she said and waited for her to start.
Ellaria dragged the Knife along Eddard wound as gentle as possible trying cause anymore damage or pain to him as she finished Ellaria applied heal salve and rebadged it. Ellaria checked Eddard's pulse seeing that he was resting from the ordeal she moved to the other side of the bed and laid next to him letting sleep that her.
Ellaria awoke to a touch opening her eyes she found Eddard awake caressing her check, ''feeling better'' she asked ''somewhat thank you'' ''I did my duty as your wife'' she told him '' what were you doing just now'' ''just admiring your beauty'' Eddard said Ellaria rolled on top of Eddard and mounted his hips saying ''admire away''.
Lemon warning
Eddard looked up in aw at his wife, Ellaria is a strong, stubounre and a beauty to be hold he kissed her with a passion and began to remove her dress straps off her shoulders. Ellaria had never scene so much passion or desires from a man before as she felt her dress straps come off Eddard began to kiss down her keck to her breast where he suckled at them like a newborn she moaned and began to remove Eddard's smallclothes then started to stroke him
''Fuck'' Eddard cried as he felt seed spill into Ellaria hand catching his breath he grabbed Ellaria by the waist and rolled them over with him now on top, Ellaria watched as Eddard descended under her dress till she felt his breath on her cunt then she felt Eddard tongue enter her Ellaria wrapped her legs around Eddard head to push deeper into her.
And in one stoke Ellaria felt her release come, unwrapping her legs allowing Eddard to come back in to view of her, Eddard grab her legs and pulled them apart and then with all his strength thrusted into Ellaria he continued this pace until he spilled his seed into Ellaria they both stayed in each other embrace as they both drifted off to sleep.
The morning light broke through the curtains of the room awaking Ellaria to find herself alone in the bed looking around the room to find it void of any of Eddard's belonging's rising from the bed she ran to the curtains and opened them to view the harbor where she could still see the northern fleet. Turning back, she saw a note on the table picking it up she read it.
''my attention was need this morning I did not want to disturb your sleep if you still wish to a company us we depart at midday'' Eddard.
Ellaria found the note sweet she also found it odd that Eddard would think she would not come after everything she did placing the note down she began to pack, most what she owned would be fine for weather of Reach and Westerlands but not for the North, the winters in Dorne were to the rest of the country in fact it rarely snowed in Dorne then it dawned on Ellaria she had been born and raised in the lands of summer and now she is wed to the lands of winter and winter is coming.
As she finished packing their was knock on the door ''enter'' she called and in came Maester Warrick 'are you prepared to leave then' he asked her ''yes I am'' she replied turning to him 'I bout you some supplies for the journey' Warrick said handing Ellaria a bag, she opened to find full of basic healing supplies ''how'' she asked 'your husband may have sorted me out asking for bag of medicine and such' putting the bag on the bed Ellaria hugged Warrick ''thank you for everything you have done for me'' said she as she began to cry 'you need not waste your tears on an old man dear girl I will miss you Hellholt will not be the same without' Warrick said, Ellaria did nothing she just counited to hold her oldest friend let go of him she took one more look around her room to remember her old life her great joys and painful of memories exiting the room with Maester Warrick she closed the door on her old life the life of Ellaria Sand and in her place the life of Ellaria Stark would begin.
The pair walked in slice out of Hellholt to the docks Ellaria looked around finding no sign of her father when they reached the end they found Eddard talking and directing his men-at-arms ''Eddard'' she called he turned to face them ''Ellaria'' he greeted ''are you ready'' he asked Ellaria nodded in response ''I leave you in good hands'' Warrick said turning around back to Hellholt Ellaria grab his hand and turned him round ''of all the people I will miss it is you'' 'I bed you good luck in this join of yours'' he said hugger her before leaving the docks, Ellaria watched one of the most important men in her life walk away.
''are you okay'' Eddard asked ''I will be'' she answered grabbing her bags and walking up the gag plank to the ship Eddard sighed and followed her up ''cast off'' he called to his men ''cast off'' the call was repeated across the harbor each sailing toward the Reach.
