2. Aalyson

"You shall wed Styben, and that is the end of it". yelled the castellan, "Fuck Styben, and fuck you father, I am exhausted with you, this castle, and this family" responded Aalyson, the castellan rapidly rose, and swung the back of his hand towards Aalyson, she caught his hand, kicked her father in the groin, then spat on his bald head, and walked away, as she was walking away, the castellan blurted "You are no daughter of mine, abandon this place and rot among scum, you whore!".

Aalyson opened the door for the armory, put on a leather armor, cut her hair with a dagger, which she later sheathed among other daggers, a sword, a bow, and a quiver filled with arrows, she set a helmet upon her head, strolled to the barns, reached for a nearby torch and set fire to the building. As she was a mile away from the castle, the structure radiated in fire, she stood there a while meditating of the past she just scorched, then she smiled with relief, turned around and kept on walking.

She kept roaming until an Inn came across, The Houseless Bastard. inside there were three silent old man who glared at Aalyson for only a few second before they realised, they did not care. She understood, she did not care either, torching a castle with your father in it, does that to people.

"A room, please" she requested, the Innkeeper pointed with his head to his left, to a room that sure hasn't seen better days, and it never will, Innkeeper turned to her, and said "Ten pieces a night".

At midnight, tears filled her eyes, she hated that place, that family, but still that's no excuse to ignite a castle. At the next day, early in the morning she walked to the back of the Inn, kneeled and prayed to the Seven, asking forgiveness for her actions, she then rose, and promised herself to never let emotions seduce her to do more malicious deeds, but then she remembered all the times she had no opinion on any matter of her life, so she promised to deliver voice to those who have none, but she also promised herself to never let anybody fuck with her ever again, or they will choke with their own balls upside down, with hungry beasts approaching.
