Balon Greyjoy
He was the king of the Iron Islands and his own son was a disaster. He did not trust him. Balon was ashamed over Theon. Balon sat at his high seat and saw down on the hall. Guards was standing at evry door. His daughter, Asha saw up on him from the hall and said:
"I think I know what you're thinking, father! It's about your son, my little brother." King Balon looked down in the floor and said:
"You have right, Asha. It is that he shall become our new king when I die and joins whit the drowned gods! He is no more a Ironborn. He have been to long whit the wolfs." Asha smiled and said:
"It can't be that bad. You can try to make one of your brothers heir." His daughter walked up to the high seat. She continued:
"Or name me your heir." Balon looked at her and cried out:
"Are you mad? The lord reavers will not let a woman take the mans place!" She tacked a step back and gave her father a answer:
"You know I'm better that most of the mankind on the Iron Islands whit sword and axe. If they say I'm not man enough I will prove it whit a trial" A guard opened the gate and said:
"M'lord! Theon Greyjoy is trying to seize some of our best ships to his raiding party." Balon raised himself up from his seat and asked:
"Where is he?" The guard answer come soon after:
"At the ports and shipyards." Balon looked at Asha and smiled:
"Asha! You wanna be a man. So ride down to your little brother and bring him to be so I can tell him what ships he will get!" Asha did'nt smile back and said:
"Okay, father. I will do it." Balons daughter walked out the great door and was heading for the stables. Balon was sitting at his seat and cotinued to think about what he had to do whit Theon, a kraken raised by the wolf.
Theon Greyjoy
"What are you meaning? I am Theon Greyjoy. My father is king Balon Greyjoy. He will hang you for this!" Theon was screaming against one of the captains. The captain answered:
"This ship is ordered by our king to join Asha Greyjoys raidingparty." Theons face was becoming red of anger. He hated that he was looked down on because he had been raised by Eddard Stark. But now he want revenge. His plan was to take the North march down and defeat Robb Stark and bring his head to Pyke. He heard a voice in back of him:
"Theon! Father want you back in the castle." He turned around and said:
"Don't disturb me, Asha. I am trying to convince this man to give me command of the ship under the raiding." Asha demounted her horse and said to him:
"Father want to talk to you about it. He does not want to lose his best ships because of you're miscalculation." Theon tacked a step against her and said:
"Do you think I have not learned something when I grew up in Winterfell?" Asha smiled and gave him the answer:
"The castle lies inside the land and the Northmen like best to march soldiers than sailing ships. They are wolfs not squids." Theon had to give up. He mounted his horse and held the track after Asha. She give him a smile. It was a kind of "You lose, I win" smile. He looked at all the different people on the way home. He saw women whit their children, men training whit steel and young boys training whit wood. Asha said:
"Do you see that man there?" Theons asked:
"Who are you pointing at?" Asha smiled to him and said:
"Do you think it's weird that a ironborn should have golden hair?" Theon rode up to the man and asked the mans trainer:
"Who is this and why do he have golden hair?" The trainer Answered:
"This is Derys Pyke, my prince. A bastard from Iron Holt. I do not know why the heck he have the golden hair." Derys looked up into the eyes to Theon and said:
"Whatever does nobody have the right to hate me because of it." Theons face turned red and shouted out:
"But a bastard has no right to look into the eyes of the prince of the Iron Islands. If you is looking into them again, I am going to cut your eyes out." Asha rode up and said:
"Theon! Father is waiting on you." Derys was looking down in the dirt and said:
"Time for you to go. I have to be trained for the raiding." Theon and Asha leaved Derys. And Derys continued whit the trainig.
"If I see him again I will take his head." Asha smiled ad said:
"You know what. I like his style. I'm think he is cute." Theon looked at his sister and said:
"Hah! A bastard. It had been funny to have found him in your bed." Ashas smile was gone. She stared at him and said:
"You can look your mouth, Theon. It come just shit out of it whatever." They saw now the walls of Pyke. It was their family's home. But for Theon it was all new. It was build on the cliffs whit the sea below it.
