A/N: I own nothing except my OCS. A Song of Ice and Fire is owned by George R.R Martin.

Review response:

Marvermyra: Don`t worry, he won`t be marrying Lysa. Alyssa won`t be paired with Jaime though.

Tunak23: I wouldn`t go that far. Thanks for the feedback and ideas.

-Eyrie-

Artys walked through the halls of the castle. Maester Colemon had asked the young man to find Robert, who had skipped his lessons. It annoyed the young Arryn to have to fetch Robert himself, but he agreed since Eddard was in the middle of a lesson and his father was busy.

"Where could he have gone?" Artys asked himself. Finding the heir to Storm`s End was harder than he had expected. However, the timely arrival of Ser Andre helped.

"Is something the matter, my Lord?" Andre asked.

"I am looking for Robert, but I do not know where he is" Artys replied.

"Last time I saw him, he was in the Maiden`s Tower" Andre replied. "Shall I take you there?" he asked.

"That would be much appreciated" Artys replied.

"Then, please follow me, my Lord" Andre said, leaving for the tower. Artys followed the young knight. The pair walked towards the Maiden`s Tower. Artys could only remember having gone there once before. He knew his sister`s chambers were located there. He found that the stairs were less steep then the ones in the Sky Tower.

"Here we are, my Lord" Andre said as he stopped in front a door.

"This is where you saw Robert last?" Artys asked.

"Aye" Andre replied with a nod. He knocked on the door, and then paused. As he received no response, he tried again.

"Is there anyone inside?" Artys asked.

"I do not know" Andre replied. "Perhaps we should just enter" he suggested. Artys gave a nod in agreement. As the young knight opened the door, they`re eyes landed on the messy floor. Books and papers were scattered everywhere.

"By the Seven" Artys muttered under his breath. Once his eyes found Robert, he let out a sigh. The heir to the Stormlands snored loudly, lying in bed half covered by his blanket. On leg dangled off the edge.

"This chamber is a mess" Andre said. Artys sighed before walking over to the bed.

"Wake up Robert!" Artys shouted with all his might, startling Ser Andre. Robert rose from his bed with a start.

"What in the Seven hells was that?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning, my Lord" Andre spoke.

"Ser Andre?" Robert asked groggily. Andre nodded in response, waiting for the young heir of the Stormlands to fully wake up.

"You must have slept soundly" Artys said.

"What are you doing here?" Robert asked.

"Maester Colemon asked for me to find you. You missed the lesson for today" Artys replied.

"Ah, right" Robert said, still groggy.

"We will step outside to let you get ready" Andre spoke.

"I can get there myself" Robert said before Andre could continue.

"Do you know where the lesson is being held?" Artys asked.

"Aye, the Moon Tower" Robert replied.

"Good, I will go inform Maester Colemon that you will be coming soon" Artys said. Robert nodded as the two men exited the room. "Thanks for your help, Ser Andre" Artys told the young knight.

"It was nothing, my Lord" Andre bowed before taking his leave.

Artys sat behind his desk, looking through various books. Colemon had advised him to read more about the various regions in the Vale of Arryn. The book he was reading was about one of these regions, the Fingers.

"Ser Corwyn Corbray declared himself Lord of the Five Fingers" Artys read aloud. "After he died, the title vanished and his house began styling themselves as Kings. King Robar II of House Royce was the last known man with this title." His reading was interrupted by someone knocking on the door.

"My Lord, it is Maester Colemon" he heard a voice say.

"You may enter" Artys called out. Colemon opened the door to Artys` chambers. Glancing over at the book on his desk, Colemon smiled.

"It is good to see you taking my advice seriously" he stated.

"Why did you come here?" Artys asked.

"A raven addressed to you arrived this morning" Colemon replied. Artys was taken aback by the answer.

"To me? Are you positive?" he asked.

"See for yourself" Colemon said, handing him the scroll. Hesitant, Artys took the scroll and silently read it.

"It is from…Denys Arryn?" Artys replied in confusion.

"Ah, Ser Denys" Colemon said. Artys raised an eyebrow at him. "He is a distant cousin of your line who married a cousin of yours" Colemon clarified.

"I see" Artys nodded, returning his gaze to the scroll. "It appears he wants to meet me" he said.

"Will you go see him?" Colemon asked.

"Aye" Artys replied.

"Very well, I shall tell Lord Arryn right away" Colemon said.

-Gates of the Moon-

Artys hopped off the horse as it stopped outside the entrance to the Gates of the Moon. The men who guarded the entrance nodded at the young heir before opening the door. Entering the castle, Artys spotted a young man with blonde hair. As the man saw him, he smiled.

"Ah, welcome my Lord" he said.

"Are you Ser Denys Arryn?" Artys asked.

"I am, my Lord" Denys replied with a nod.

"It is a pleasure to meet you" Artys said, holding out his hand.

"The honor is mine" Denys said with a charming smile. The two men shook hands.

"How are you liking the Gates of the Moon?" Artys asked, as the two started walking together.

"It is a nice place" Denys replied.

"That is good to hear" Artys said. "I enjoyed my time here when Lord Yohn fostered me."

"I see" Denys nodded. Artys glanced at his shirt, stained with fresh blood. "Is something wrong?" Denys asked.

"No, I just noticed that" Artys replied, pointing at the stains.

"Ah, this" Denys said. "A few bandits attacked a village near the base of the mountain. Do not fear, the blood is not mine."

"Were the villagers grateful?" Artys asked.

"Aye, very much so" Denys replied with a charming smile.

"I see" Artys nodded.

"By the way, my beloved told me that you have a sister. Is that true?" Denys asked.

"Aye, her name is Alyssa" Artys replied. "She is marrying Lord Lyonel Corbray in a years time."

"Corbray you say?" Denys asked. Artys gave a simple nod in reply. As they kept walking, Denys pondered on this statement.

A/N: That`s the end of that chapter. Sorry for it taking this long, Christmas, New Years, school and new games kept me occupied. To make up for it, I will try to release the next chapter within the next couple of weeks.

As always, thank you all for your reviews, favorites and follows. I`ll see all of you next chapter. Have a fantastic evening.
