15: Arise Rogar Arryn, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Part 3
(The Kingswood Circle, The Kingswood, The Crownlands, The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Westeros, GoT Universe)
---------------------------------
(Rogar Arryn POV)
---------------------------------
At long last A Villager came forward and had lead them to the Location of the Kingswood Brotherhood's Hideout. A clearing of Trees that stood in front of a Cave. The Clearing was dubbed The Kingswood Circle by locals due to the fact the Soldier Pines formed a circle before the Cave.
Rogar wore Leather Armor and Carried a Longsword and Shield. He was ready for battle. His group aside the force was essentially the same as it was in Canon; Kingsguard led by Ser Arthur Dayne, Crakehall's under Lord Sumner, Three Frey's under Merrett, and one Jaime Lannister. This would be fun to say at the very least.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Simon Toyne)
---------------------------------
The Tide had turned against them. Little by little generations of work building relationships with the Villages and it's people gone within one month because of Rogar Arryn. Brotherhood Spies whispered of The Young Falcon's proposal and how the King had accepted it readily.
For Five Generations The Toyne's had lead the Kingswood Brotherhood, ever since the Fall of House Toyne due to Terrence Toyne's lackluster luck getting himself court abed with a mistress of King Aegon IV Targaryen by King Aegon no less. But Simon wanted something more, he wanted an actual life for his boys Myles and Terrence where they weren't forced to remain constantly vigilant.
But outside of joining the Golden Company this was their only real option....
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Rogar Arryn)
---------------------------------
It was an odd sound, the gurgling and choking on their blood as they died. As he cut a path to Wenda White Fawn. He spun around, his Blade cutting a whirlwind arc against the Brotherhood's fodder men.
Rogar, Sword and Shield in hand, bludgeoned one opponent while Parrying with his Sword. As he heard the crunching of bone, Rogar shunted with his shield into his opponent and managed to as a result, throw his last attacker off-balance just long enough to bury his Sword in the Man's Throat/Chest Cavity.
''A Silver Falcon hunts the White Fawn.'' Wenda says.
''Before we fight, I'd like to make an offer.'' Says Rogar.
''I doubt it's worth my time, but go on right ahead." Wanda says readying her Bow and Arrow.
"In exchange for a promise of fealty, I offer you protection from prosecution in exchange for becoming a Sworn Sword in my service. Eventually you've my word that I will raise you to Landed Knight Status. Imagine, the first woman to become a Knight of the Vale and the first Outlaw to as well. Within a few years of good service a Lordship will be granted. In short, you get to form your own house, name your words, and make something of yourself beyond these woods." Says Rogar.
"You make a Compelling offer, but I will have to refuse." Wenda says.
"Why?"
"I don't serve dead men." Wenda says as she smiles and fires an arrow directly at his chest.
Rogar swats the loosed arrow aside with his sword, and growls.
"You want my feathers? You pluck em yourself!" Rogar snarls, his pride somewhat wounded at such a refusal.
It's just not on, refusing someone on the grounds their dead when their still breathing. now had she pierced his chest and then said those words he wouldn't have been nearly as upset at her, because few things in this shit world survived an arrow to the heart.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Arthur Dayne)
---------------------------------
Arthur was...worried. He'd lost sight of his Squire, now Arthur wasn't worried about the boy, he was worried how he was supposed to tell Ashara her lover died on his watch.
Telling a Widow they were now a Widow was never pleasant, telling that Widow that they were now a Widow while also being your sister? That was just downright nasty.
Plus, Ashara wasn't like your typical Dornishwoman. Grief had a way of eventually killing her type of woman. And that was never pretty to watch happen.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Rogar Arryn)
---------------------------------
Rogar's Arm ached, he'd beaten Wenda into submission, but the sly bitch hadn't made it easy.
"Finish it." Wenda said, accepting her fate.
"No, I told you my offer, I offer those same terms to you once more. Join me Wenda, as the first Lady of House Whitefawn and the first Woman to become a Knight of The Vale." Rogar says, swallowing his better judgment.
"Sure, why not." Wenda says, and it's almost unsettling how easily she accpets after he all but abused her into silence.
"Ser Vardis, have some men take Wenda into Custody. Transport her directly to the Vale, inform my Father of my Decision." Rogar instructs.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Barristan Selmy)
---------------------------------
Simon Toyne was a difficult opponent. He was ferocious with a Blade, but like most men who have such ferocity, that same ferocity left them easily tired. Barristan simply Needed an opening.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Rogar Arryn)
---------------------------------
Rogar charged in and essentially Speared Toyne like Roman Reigns, but from behind. He pinned Toyne, had his knife to his throat, and smirked.
It hurt tackling a man in full plate, especially since he didn't have his own Plate to absorb some of the impact.
"Simon Toyne? How would you like to have Nobility again?" Rogar asked with a small laugh....

This is the last of Jan's Chapters, which means I'll have since begun releasing once a week in order to start writing more to keep my min of Three Chapters ahead. Now I apologise for the skimming of fight scenes, but unless it's one vs all or one on one, I'm pretty useless at writing them.
For my P-atreon go to TheRagFromTheCragCorner21.
For about Eight Dollars you get early/immeadiate Access to everything stocked up there. Now forewarning you's, I'll not be posting during March, May, July, September, and November as those months plus Jan are my Stock up months. I'll be working exclusively during those months to make absolutely certain that those of you who become Patron's get the most bang for your big bucks.
Goodbye.....
