21 Chapter 21

Walking over to his workshop with Robb to begin looking for a way to trap a undead to bring back from the wall.

As they enter the site of his workshop they witness Fenryr and the direwolf pups playing. Since they came back with the pups Fenryr has pretty much adopted them as her own and was teaching them how to hunt and attack.

It was why he didn't bring her with him when they went beyond the wall. He wanted his siblings direwolves to learn to protect themselves and his brothers and sisters.

When they entered the workshop, Robb saw all kinds of drawings and blueprints. He had no idea what any of it did, then he saw two small metal birds with a flat beak. Robb couldn't help but ask, "What are those?" Looking over to Robb and then seeing what he was pointing to. "Oh those, the one on the left is called [Quack-E] and the other is [D.U.C.K.O.Y] they're gifts for Arya and Marcella to give them something to do while they are here. I already tried to gift one to Sansa but she said she was too old for toys. They aren't toys damn it they are battle pets, call my invention a toy. She doesn't know what she is missing." Cyrus replied a little upset she called it a toy. He had made some toys before, which were a big hit.

Like the [Loot-A-Rang], [Jeeves] and [Blingtron]

He had even had built the [Mechano-Hog] and was almost done with the [Turbo-Charged Flying Machine] just had a few more parts to complete. He had plenty of alcohol for fuel thanks to it was mass produced in the north with production growing annually.

"Alright so what we need is a device that can freeze the target in place long enough for me to chain it and box it." Cyrus said aloud while pondering.

Robb looked at his brother and questioned, "Yea I have no idea how to do that, so why did you want me to come along."

When Cyrus turned and smiled, Robb had a bad feeling.

"How else can I test if it works? Mwahaha"

Robb bolted out the door, Cyrus quickly used [Trap Launcher] with [Freezing Trap] firing it just in front of Robb. But Robb expecting his brothers move dodged out of the way. Rolling off to the right Robb got back up and laughed, "That only works the first time brother, you gotta do better then that."

"Getting cocky are we brother, we shall see." Cyrus cast [Polymorth: Turtle] on Robb and walked away with Robb shouting to change him back. His pup Grey Wind running over and playing with him a bit till Robb turned back after a minute of having to be a turtle.

Meanwhile Jaime found Tyrion in the bar asking around Winterfell of the dwarf pirate from Pyke. He had ran into two soldiers who told him they were there and told the tale to Tyrion, he listening to every word with his eyes sparkling with interest.

Jaime listened for a bit but decided to cut them off, he didn't want his brother buying into it, he doubted they were even there. Although in fact they were there at the battle, while Jaime wasn't since he was commanded to stay in King's Landing.

"Come Tyrion, there's a feast soon and we can't be late."

Tyrion excitedly welcomed Jaime, "Jaime, they were there that day, they saw it happen. They said he's a real Pirate King and that he only attacked because those Ironborn claimed to be the strongest of pirates. So after I visit the wall I think I'll head out to sea." Tyrion was excited he always wanted a better life but was constantly reminded of his failures and belittled by all his family but Jaime. He wanted to make something of himself.

"How do they know all this? Did they talk to him? Cause as Ser Barristan who was there said he shouted at someone for throwing a spear at him and ran off in the shape of a wolf." Jaime said rolling his eyes.

One of the men, not liking Jaime's attitude spoke up, "Nay, I didn't speak to him myself but I heard the Young lord Robb Stark and Lord Starks bastard Jon Snow talking about him, hic."

Hearing the source of the information Tyrion quickly got down off the chair and quickly went to look for Robb and Jon Snow.

If Cyrus would've known that Robb and Jon had purposely spread tales of the Great Pirate King Leeroy Jenkins and his band of misfit pirate dwarfs, he would've definitely strangled the two. Unfortunately for Cyrus they did it during his confinement so he wasn't aware, even Robb and Jon had thought there scheme didn't work since the small folk already knew the stories and only spoke about it when there were travellers who asked.

But Robb will be more than happy to give Tyrion all the tales he wanted, especially after he was turned into a turtle he was out for vengeance and Tyrion would give just that. The North Remembers.

Cyrus deciding to gift Arya and Marcella the battle pets he made, we went up to where the girls practiced embroidery. Knocking on the door he entered after receiving permission.

After seeing Cyrus enter, Arya quickly put down her embroidery since she wasn't interested in continuing since she hated anything girly.

Arya ran over with a big smile, she knew he was here to give her something, since he knew she hated it he usually made toys and things for her to do.

"So what did you bring me today?" Arya asked curiously. The anticipation written all over her face.

Giving her a pat on the head, "I brought something good, I also have one for Marcella as a greeting gift, you can play with them together. After all, you'll be seeing each other more often if father takes the job as the Hand of the King." he replied then looked over to Marcella who had froze when she heard her name.

Not expecting a gift she wasn't sure of what to do, Arya just kept waving her over disregarding the looks from the others. Not really wanting to cause a scene, she quickly put down the needle and thread and quickly ran over so she could hurry back.

Putting both hands behind his back and pulling out two gift wrapped presents, he presented them both with the boxes.

"I'm not sure which is which and if you want to trade it's fine. I hope you like them tho." Cyrus said as he scratched his cheek. He was a little embarrassed by the look Marcella had.

She was awed by the beauty in the wrapping and ribbon, she had never seen anything like it. But when she turned to Arya and saw her quickly tear into it, afterall she had gotten them a few times, she felt at a loss.

But it faded when she saw there was something inside, shaking her own box a bit she heard something inside. Instead of tearing into it like Arya she opened it slowly so as not to damage the paper.

Arya already had her opened and was amazed at the little robot duck. She waited for Marcella and was about to run over go help but Cyrus stopped her.

"Marcella, if you really like that paper you dont have to worry about ripping it I can give you more. Its just wrapping paper." Cyrus said a little confused.

She was stunned at knowing he had more of that beautiful paper, she would definitely ask for more. When she finally opened hers and saw a metal bird. She picked it up and thought it was very cute.

Arya was looking between the two liking her own as well. "So how do we play with them?" Arya asked.

"Glad you asked, there's a button on the back of the head. Just push it." Cyrus answered ready to see the power on.

Easily finding the button Marcella and Arya press them and are amazed as they power on.

"Now put it on the ground and walk around"

When they did so each mechanical duck followed them around, both girls with large smiles while the other girls stared at the cute ducks following the two girls.

"All right now say 'Battle' while pointing at each others ducks, dont worry they wont break." Cyrus stated.

Again after doing so they watch the ducks approach each other bow and then began fighting. It was hilariously entertaining, all the girls including Sansa were laughing while watching the epic duck battle.

Walking up to Sansa he said "Regretting turning it down now?" Even though she denied it he could tell she did so he pulled out another box and handed to her, "Well I guess you can just throw this away or give it to one of the others. Im off, have fun girls don't break anything and if you do tell them it was Robb fault." Leaving the room so he could get ready for the feast.

Meanwhile downstairs Robb was recounting the Adventures of Pirate King Leeroy and his escapades across the sea. Tyrion eating up every bit of it. He knew most of the stories Robb told were exaggerated as most stories. But he also understood that in almost every story or myth there is always a grain of truth to them. It was just a manner of deducing fact from fiction, and the facts are leading him to the ocean.
