~~Streets of King's Landing~~

Morgryn coughed and Mira let him go blushing profusely. 'What was I thinking?!' She thought. Lord Morgryn looked from Mira, who couldn't seem to meet his eyes, then back to the guards.

"My good, Sers… There's no need for that, I assure you…" His charming smile placed on his lips. "Surely you have more dangerous criminals to deal with than Lady Margaery's Handmaiden?" He gentle placed his hands on Mira's shoulders and pulled her closer. Mira stiffened, thinking he just might push her to the guards. They looked at each other and Mira prayed to the gods Lord Morgryn wouldn't.

"We have order's from Captain Lucan to-" One guard started as they looked to each other for some type of support. How they could see each other through the helmets they wear was beyond Mira's understanding. But Mira had more pressing things to think about. Morgryn let go of Mira and pulled a pooch from his clothing.

"Let me worry about 'Lucan.' You two worry about buying yourselves a few tankards…" He placed the pooch in the lead guard's hands. The man glared but took the gold. The guards looked at Mira then turned and started back down the street. "Thank you, for keeping our city safe." Morgryn simply stated, turning and stepping into his Litter.

Mira's heart fluttered, 'I nearly got taken away!' She thought feeling like she hadn't been breathing the whole time. 'Dear gods, that was close…' She turned to Thank Lord Morgryn but he was holding out his hand.

"Can I take you somewhere, Lady Mira?" He asked smiling all the while. Mira smiled too, she felt safe now, safer then she felt the last couple of days. She nodded and took his hand. Mira stepped in and sat across from the Lord.

"The River Gate, Thank you." She said looking around the Litter. It was small but what did Mira expect? Lord Morgryn was a single man, he didn't need a big one. The colors were very beautiful. All different colors of Blue and gold, the seats were padded and silky. 'Lord Morgryn is a very wealthy Merchant…' Mira thought. The craftsmanship was wonderful. 'I wonder what Ironwood would look like as something other than weapons or houses…'

Morgryn gave the order to his men as Mira looked around. He frowned at Mira when she looked at him. "Mira, what is going on?" He leaned forward. "Is there a problem? Maybe I can help..." Mira's hope flared, 'Help?!' She thought finally.

"Someone's potting against me!" She said.

"Plotting? What do you mean?" He asked fixing Mira with a stare.

"They're spreading malicious Rumors and worse, they've set the guard after me!" She told him. Of all the people Mira felt safe with, Lord Morgryn should have been the last person but he and Ludd Whitehill have no friendship anymore and he has been nothing but kind to her. She trusted him, but she did find him hard to read.

"I see…" He leaned back taking a breath. "That is worrying indeed…" Mira felt a bit uneasy, but she pushed it off as the fact she's an unmarried girl traveling with an unmarried man. "Clearly you've made powerful enemies here in king's Landing." He smiled as he leaned forward and continued, "Although you made short work of one of them, at least." He clapped his hands and smirked at Mira. Mira's feeling of uneasy grew more. She looked around to try and easy that feeling. "I hear Lord Andros has found a home in the black Cells. I'm impressed!"

Mira snapped, "Andros was a snake, working for the Whitehills. He got exactly what he deserved and no more…" She glared not realizing it. Morgryn laughted it off.

"I'm inclined to agree. I doubt anyone will miss the oaf…" Morgryn's smiled was gone, left behind was a cold stare and an icy grin. "Of course, now that you've gotten rid of my biggest competitor, all kinds of opportunities have opened up…" Mira could feel where this was going, she didn't like it but she played along still. "Particularly in your part of the Seven Kingdoms…" Mira said nothing, staring at Lord Morgryn, her safe feeling long gone. "The Ironwood market is wide open and a lot of gold to be made.."

Mira smiled sweetly, "There's opportunity enough for the both of us, Lord Morgryn. Think of what we could accomplish if we worked together!" His eyes softened and his icy grin warmed a bit.

"Heh… I have thought about it…" He looked Mira up and down. Eyes lingered longer in some spots. "I've thought about it a great deal…" Mira frowned, not liking Morgryn's attentions. "You're clever, Mira." He leaned over and placed his hand on Mira's that lay in her lap. "Identifying Andros as our common enemy while approaching me as a partner…" He let go and leaned back laughing.

"You showed an understanding of King's Landing that took me year's to gain!" He messed up his brown hair some when he rubbed his head. "Of course, I knew you'd be trouble when we first met." He glare was piercing and Mira was frightened but she never showed it to him. She just sat there and quietly listened. "Imagine! A Handmaiden stealing the Crown's Ironwood contract from under my nose!" He waved his arms for emphasis as he explained.

"That's why I bribed that Lannister guard to kill you." Mira was in shock! She couldn't believe it. "Oh don't look so surprised… You must have known you'd become a target sooner or later." Mira knew she just thought it would have been later. She had no idea that Morgryn would have a grudge over something so small.

"You- You two face shit!" She spat at him, the shock on his face at her language wasn't remotely funny to her. "Don't you have any honor?!" She yelled. She felt like she could attack him right then, but she held back.

"Honor?! Do you think I got where I am Because of HONOR?!" He yelled getting into Mira's face. "We've both seen what happens to honorable men." Mira's heart stung, she knew he was talking about the men in her family that have died. "You never should have trusted me." He placed a hand on her face, she smacked it away. "That may have been you only mistake…" She tried to go for the door but he stopped her. He pushed her back into the seat.

"After Ludd takes Ironrath, he and I will control the Ironwood trade entirely." He loomed over her. She didn't fight when he placed his hand back on her face. He gentle rubbed her check. "You've been very helpful, Mira, but it's time to get you out of the way…" He smiled and sat back in his seat.

"You're making a mistake! Morgryn, Ludd will turn on you the first chance he gets. You're a fool if you don't see that." She could see him shake with rage. She didn't see him attack till it was too late. Her head was smashed against the litter and Lord Morgryn's face was inches from hers. "Aggh!" She cried when it happened, pain where he gripped her hair.

"Tell me, Mira! Who is the fool here? You or I?" He asked. He grinned dominantly over her. Mira used what strength she had to push herself away from the wall and glare diffidently at him. She stomped her foot over his and when he fell back in pain she attacked him. She was atop him before he had time to recover. The cramped space left little room to move obviously but Mira didn't care. She sat atop Morgryn's lap as she attacked.

"You monster!" She yelled as she tried to punch him in the face. Morgryn caught her hand then her other when she tried to scratch his face. Before Mira knew what had happened she was on her back with Morgryn holding her down.

"My you are a fire cracker!" He moved to hold both her hands in one of his. She hadn't realized her dress had found its way up her leg in the fight. "My, Mira, you are beautiful…" his free hand ran up her bare leg. "It's truly a shame you're going to die.." With the way they lay Mira's knee was in shot of Morgryn's goods. She did just that. He fell over holding himself. Mira rushed out the litter but ran right into Lucan.

"Ah! Lucan! Fancy coming across you here!" Morgryn said stepping out of the litter cringing in pain form Mira's attack. "I seem to have found something you're looking for…" Morgryn smiled.

"That you have M'lord. I've been searching for this murderer along time." Mira was bound and Lucan lead her away. Mira had no word to say. Even if she did no one would listen. Morgryn walked over stopping Lucan. He forced her face to meet his.

"Chin up Mira! I'm sure if you ask him nicely the headsman will be quick." He smiled. She cursed his to the Seven Hell's with her fierce blue eyes. He waved bye as Lucan continued to the Black Cells.

~~Ironrath- Great Hall~~

Asher stood by the stairs leading up to the grand table with his mother Elissa Forrester, his friend Beskha, His sister Talia. They were talking softly on different matter's concerning the food or drink that was being served. Duncan walked up to the group. "The 'wine' is ready, My Lord. Talia will pour once they're all seated. Just give the signal when you are ready for the attack after." His mother having been listening step in.

"Remember- No matter how much they might try to provoke you, we must let them think they've won." She grips his crossed arm and looks up to him. "Remember…" Loud cries and laughter could be heard coming toward the door. Lady Elissa let Asher, "That must be them. Here we go…" Asher could see his mother's nerves shake her small frame.

Asher looked to the door his own nerves getting to him. Asher was good at war, battle, anything that required him to fight not lead. Especially being the head of the war. Yes he can lead a few men but a whole arm? Asher was beginning to doubt himself. 'No I must say strong for my family…' Asher was reminded of the time his father said he was sending him to Essos for loving Gwyn. He had trashed his room that night in his rage. No one could clam him, not Rodrik, Not mother, no one. But then Mira step in, Mira always stepped in.

~~5 years ago~~

Asher, being 17 was angry and confused. He was being sent away for liking a girl. He knew he couldn't have Gwyn Whitehill but he wasn't sure if he would ever stop liking her or trying to be with her. When he told his father that Gregor had flew into a rage.

So now Asher sat in the middle of his room with the sheets torn, tables and chairs missing legs. An axe currently decorated the hand carved family crest hanging over his bed. His anger felt like it might never leave. He took a few breaths to try and calm down. Asher went to rub his face but the bruise by his eye stung when he touched it. He hissed in pain and flew into a new rage.

Earlier his mother had tried to comfort him but he wouldn't let her touch him. Then Rodrik tried at the behest of their mother. That didn't end well. That was how he got his black eye, but Rodrik left with one as well. No one could calm Asher at the moment. No even the gods he thought.

In his rage he hadn't seen Mira standing at the door with her books. When he finally noticed she entered. Her long tangled black hair and her big blue eyes reminded him of father and Rodrik. He felt his angry rise again but he fought it. He knew his sister didn't deserve his fits of anger. "What do you want?!" He yelled hearing his own anger as he spoke.

Mira just smiled, her lightly freckled face bright in his dark and trashed room. "I've come to tell you something!" Mira said happily sitting in the middle of the room still holding her books. "Come sit with me!" She was only 13, still too young to understand when a man needed to be left alone, but he obliged her. He sat across from her and just stared.

"What is it?" He said trying to restrain his rage. He could see himself shaking as he grabbed one of her books. "You going to tell me a story?"

"Well, no… I'm just going to tell you the ending to yours!" She said holding up a book with fresh ink with his name on it. He wasn't fallowing so far. "I made this for you but…" Asher picked up the book and started going through the pages. Most were blank but some had pictures and note Mira wrote in it. Mostly funny little pictures of them playing in the grove. Mira quickly grabbed the book.

"I didn't get to finish looking!" He said trying to grab the book. He was finally starting to feel better. Mira held onto the book not even letting Asher see it. "If you don't give me the book I'll tickle you to death!" Mira smiled when she saw Asher grin but held the book through all his threats.

"Asher!" Mira said looking up to him as he reached for the book. Asher stopped, Mira's smile was sad. "I know father isn't being far but…"

"I don't want to hear it…" Asher turned and sat facing away from her. He felt tears prick his eyes. He wanted to rub them away but he remembered his black eye. 'Men don't cry..' he thought.

She was silent for some time, Asher thought she might have left but then Mira placed the book in Asher's line of sight, "Not to spoil the ending for you but, everything's going to be okay... I'll always be your sister!" The book fell in his lap and he could feel Mira hugging his neck. "I love you brother!"

Asher smiled, he leaned into his little sister's comforting embrace and felt tears. "There is no better friend, Mira, then you my sister…" He realized now his rage was a cover. He was scared to be sent off all alone. He had never truly been alone in his life. He was scared to lead his own life when he had always just fallowed. "I don't know what to do, Mira…" He sobbed quietly.

Mira pulled back and smiled sadly, "Trust yourself, Asher. You know more than you think you do." She hugged him again and stood. "I know, I trust you!" And off she went, she stopped at the door and turned back to him. "Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated by it is optional! I mean you are Asher Forrester!" with that Mira left.

~~Present~~

That was the last time he saw Mira, he wondered if she still looked like how he remembered. She had given him courage to face his exile. She had been right, everything was okay. 'Not to spoil the ending but everything's going to be okay!' He thought as he imagined Mira standing next to him.

The door opened and Asher was brought back to reality. He hadn't been expecting just one woman. "Gwyn?" He said unable to hide the surprise on his face.

Beskha scoffed, "Clever… Send the girl first…" She placed her hand on his shoulder, "Don't let her play with your head, little brother." Gwyn walked up to him and smiled.

Asher was silent but his mind was reeling. Mira's word popped up in his head, 'Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated by it is optional! I mean you are Asher Forrester!' He then found his answer. It way not have been a very good one but it was one all the same.

Asher smiled. He was ready.

I like the first half of this chap but Asher's part I'm not liking…. Maybe it's just me. What do you think? And if I've miss spelled things don't be afraid to let me know!
