5 Chapter 5

After a few more Days with your Mother, you did indeed manage to get yourself your own Chamber, and that for the small price of a Lion for your Father. Having your own place to retreat to felt as great as you had imagined it, and to just create and play with your little Lions without having to worry about anyone else really helped you out with your mental State, which after being around your Siblings for so long became a slight problem again.

But everything is fine now, and even if it wasn't, the Question would be what good brooding on the past would bring you. Besides that there would still be the Fact that you love your Siblings too much for anything like an actual Grudge to ever develop, so there is no Point of moaning about how your Head hurts, beyond it getting you your Chamber. But at least internally, you still moan about it all, simply because it actually helps in getting your Mind free of the still straining residues, even through none of it is really meant.

In hindsight, the revealing of your Abilities to lessen your mental Stress in the long run was really quite foolish, but with that lying in the past now, and the Pledge to do better, you decide to focus on something else. The something this time being your Mother, simply because her behavior is as confusing as ever, and you still have a great deal of difficulty understanding her, for Example, why did she even want that Lion for your Father?

It's still here, which doesn't make any Sense to you, surely she wanted the Lion to give some Proof for whatever she will write your Father, or perhaps it's supposed to be a Present, that was at least what you thought, but you were apparently wrong. Because the little Statue is still here, while the Letter to your Father is surely already in King's Landing. And even after thinking several more Hours on it, you still don't understand what the Point of your Mother's request was supposed to be.

But you're most likely working yourself up over nothing again, so with that in Mind, another Line of thought soon gains more weight, thus you contemplate the latest Surprise your Life had in Store for you instead. Said Surprise concerned your Home, the Rock, and your general impression of anything connected to it, for when you experimented with your Abilities at Night you discovered that with enough time and focus a new Sense becomes available to you.

Said Sense allowed you to feel the Stone that makes up the Rock in an ever-increasing Area around you, with its size depending on the amount of focus given over to it at any one time. Yet while this was a Surprise it wasn't the greatest one you had that Day, for you already had a very shallow feeling of your Surroundings whenever you explored your Home, but what you didn't expect was that it wouldn't end, for even after reaching out for an entire Night you couldn't make out the entirety of the Rock, and you had to realize with quite a good amount of shock that the experiences you had gathered in your last Life made you blind.

You thought that it would at some Point be enough, that there couldn't possibly be a reason to build a Castle any larger, but that was where you were wrong, for what your new Senses couldn't answer a visit to your Mother's Chamber could, and sixty-three Square-kilometers was the Answer. Casterly Rock, your Home, stretched over all this Land, and you genuinely couldn't suppress the shock of taking in this absolutely Mind-boggling but still beautiful madness.

You felt quite silly when you finally managed to digest your shock that Day, it really was all there, and you could have so easily noticed, in Fact the Walls themselves were too long for your own estimation of the Castle. You were so blind to the World that you didn't even take up on the Fact that the Crenellations are too tall for you to see anything but the largest of Towers.

But while you're now more than aware of your mistakes, you're still sure that they don't change that Casterly Rock is completely and utterly unreasonable, even if you were judging it from the wrong Point of View, that being the one you formed in your last Life, some general Rules should still apply right? But seemingly not, and you can't help but wonder if your Family is as mad as our Home makes us seem.

Back in your Chamber where you had not so long ago tried not to think of the Rock at all, and instead focused on internally moaning about your Life, an old Question you had long since pushed to the wayside came back to the forefront once more. The Question was a very simple one, and partly found your interest out of the absence of your Father, just why, in all the Seven hells there are, does your Family still serve the Crown?

Well it's of no matter to you, if your Father and Grandfather want to remain loyal, and it makes them happy, then that is their thing, but Jaime, Cersei, and Azami Lannister won't be giving in to anyone just because they sit on a Chair for a few Centuries, you will make sure of it. It's still nice to know that even if Lions are seemingly mad, they aren't actually inferior to the Wolves of this World.

Ah, yes, you can already see it, tens of thousands desperately laying siege to your Home just to pay for it in Rivers of Blood without even getting anywhere. If you understood it correctly, then before your Family became Subjects of the Seven Kingdoms, our own Kingdom was named the Kingdom of the Rock. Yes, it's indeed so very beautiful and appropriate isn't it, and it seems to you that the King your Father likes so very much will soon have to show what his Line is made out of, how very entertaining.
