The little orc stopped working and looked at the Princess. "I- I do?" She asked with a tiny smile. It warmed her heart to know Shireen felt safe with her, Viola did her absolute best to be at the girls' service, given the rumors she so often heard it was a miracle she ever felt safe with anyone!

Putting the food down on the table she turned and bowed "Perhaps I should be your bodyguard then, so I can make you feel safe always."

The House of Jackal has a new heir. The only son of Apollo Romanis & Isis Ankh-He'bak. The Jackals were once a great family, but turmoil & war tore through their lands due to the battles fought over the Iron Throne. Many wanted their alliance, however, many forgot that a Jackal takes no side, they play them all. Cunning, witty, & a threat to those who cross them.

The mother, a second Queen for King Romanis, dies of childbirth. The only son & first born to Isis. He is the last heir since his eldest sister was ordered to hide & his second sister poisoned to death.

The Prince Anubis is isolated, the kingdom’s population dwindles. In desperation to protect whats left of his blood, King Romanis contacts someone who could possibly escort his only son to the capital of his Queen Isis homelands. A journey to Caprica. Not only to keep the Prince safe, but to hide a dark secret, one that could potentially be the cause of the King’s son to be dragged into alliance by force.

King Romanis calls upon the House of Stag. Sending a loyal stallion gifted to Anubis, a message inside a bag round it’s harness. The black horse, Sephiro, takes off without a rider. As it was trained to do from a young age. Sprinting across flat planes of sand into the high dunes of desert surrounding the kingdom.

Brand is usually up early than most, he sits on the steps with his bird - his pet thrush - so they can both enjoy the quiet before all the bustling activities start. When he hears footsteps, the blind fourteen year old immediately recognizes who it is.

The order had been given and Bard knew he could not disobey, he knew this was Roose Bolton’s way of testing House Lagirion’s loyalty, to help settle this matter with the Forresters and the Whitehills. Bard wasn’t stupid to disregard the Bolton threat but he’s also well aware that his forces are hardly adequate to face the Boltons head on, any attempted rise of revolt would be suicide for his house and he would not risk his sisters’ lives like that.

So House Lagirion would bend the knee and accept the Boltons and their orders, they will bide their time until the day the North is ready to take their lands back from the traitors. They will wait for House Girion and the other Northern houses to gather strength from behind the scenes. For now, it’s time to play along.

He’s suppose to wed the Forrester girl, Talia, and he will do as he’s told, if nothing else, he might be able to keep her safe from whatever fallout of this conflict between the two rival houses.
