Derys
Derys was on his way to become sick of the sea. The wind drew well in the sails now and Derys stood and grabbed himself in the ship. The captain yelled:
"Come an, new sailors! It's not time to show your weakest side! At evening we will arrive in Flints Finger!" Derys sat himself done and begun to row. They had sailed like this in some days maybe weeks now without spotting land in sight. Like this the days had gone. Derys had now begun to get used to be on the boat, but it was not long before land. The hours goes and the crew was now reaching their goal.
Derys was awaken then somebody cried:
"Land in sight! Land in sight!" Derys stood himself up on the ship and yes. There was land. They had made it. It was a armada of ships here! Asha Greyjoys ship was the biggest of them all, and this armada was just a little part of a bigger host of ships. Derys was happy to fell ground under his feet and hearing the voice of Asha Greyjoy:
"Warriors of the Iron Islands! Tonight will you sleep and eat! Tomorrow will you fight and raid! We will show the Northmen what they get after the humiliation last time." The warrior at both land and in boat cried out:
"For king Balon Greyjoy! For the Iron Islands!" Derys smiled. He had his sword hand on his sword. The trainer home in Iron Holt had said:
Have always your hand at the sword. You can't just trust them around you.
Asha was yelling out again:
"But I have news! My father want to see if one of you are honorable enough! One of you can try to take Flints Finger. He or she of you who can do it will get a lordship!" Derys knows this was his moment. To be raised to nobility and be granted a lordship is something really big. But it will be many who wanted that. Asha raised her hand and pronounced:
"And the lordship is the ports of Lordsport whit surrounding lands." It was then Derys heard some swords leaving their sheaths and a voice yelled out:
"Ye can't do that, captain. My house has allways hold Lordsport!" The voice was the voice of Sawane Botley, lord of Lordsport. His men had removed their sword from the sheaths. Asha's banner men had also taken out the sword. Asha complained:
"Lord Sawane. You must know this is just a challenge to your family. You can refuse it. Then your family will hold the stronghold on Lordsport, but you may lose your pride and prestige while your men will see at you as a scared man." The midaged lord Botley tock a step against Asha and said:
"I will not be seen as scared. I will take the challenge. If I take Flints Finger, you must pay me whit 25% from all the raids. If another man win, he will be granted my lands. If the victor is a woman she will get a marriage whit my son Harlon."
"Is that a plan to take back Lordsport, Sawane?" It's was the voice of Asha Greyjoy. The Botley lord answered:
"It will be a martial marriage." Asha smiled and said:
"Ok. Warriors! Lord Sawane Botley has accepted this challenge! If you want the lordship, g get Flints Finger!"
Tywin Lannister
"Your son, Jaime Lannister, has been captured, lord Tywin." It was the voice of on of the scouts. The scout stood in the hall in his clothing whit the golden lion on his chest plate. One of the generals in the hall, Ser Kevan Lannister said:
"It seems like the Wolf has bitten back on the Lion. And the Lion is also captured." Tywin's face was red of anger. He sat in his seat watching over the table. The servant girl was going around picking up the cups and the plates from the supper. The mountain got the word:
"Just send me, my lord! I shall crush this rebellion and kill and rape all men and woman in Riverrun!" Tywin watched on the mountain, Gregor Clegane and gave him an answer:
"Riverrun is not like the towns and villages, or the castles like Pinkmaiden or Stone Hedge." Gregor Clegane looked down o the floor. The only thing he wanted was to fight. He love the tourneys he had spend his skills on, but he remembers the tourney of the hand. There he had lost for ser Loras Tyrell. Next time he will kill him. Kevan asked:
"I think the best way is to retreat to the Golden Tooth. It's a strong defensive position." Tywin knew that. This time he comes in:
"Hm. I think I have an idea. What if we got an alliance whit the ironborn?" The room fell silent. Lord Tywin begun to explain:
"This must go up to the king, but it goes on that we will reward the ironborn alliance and free looting of the westerland shores unless Lannisport herself. We will also convince the king t accept their idepedence." The table was silent. After a while Kevan tock the word:
"The Greyjoy has refused to help the North, why should they help us?" The answer come quickly:
"The ironborn is already in war against the North, and they hate the Starks because they have raised Theon Grhejoy. Why not?" An another general said:
"It's a good agreement for me. Free raiding on Kayce and the Banefort is very fruitful." Tywin replied:
"It does not said where the shores end. It can be ten kilometers or only a couple of meters." The men in the hall begun to laugh. Tywin become silent. Then he said:
"I have also have mystic dreams, my lords and sers. I have never found right time to tell it, but it's about Joanna." Kevan new who it was. Joanna Lannister was Tywin's beloved wife and cousin. She had been dead from the day the imp, Tyrion, was born. Tywin continued:
"I have dreamt about a ironborn girl." Kevan said:
"That's not Joanna." Tywin continued and said this time:
"No, but it was a girl I laid whit for many years ago. I did it because she looked like Joanna. But now the meeting are over." For maybe the third time fell the hall silent.
