It had felt as though the journey took forever. The distance between the Northern sea port of Arendelle to the frigid inland where Winterfell made it's mark in Westeros seemed to be so far apart. Elsa had no idea how her father made the trip seem as though it took him a few weeks instead of a full blown month. Still the time had come and in the distance Elsa spotted the holdings that belonged to the Warden of the North, Eddard Stark. Winterfell was grand, not like any of the Southern palaces and holdings she'd been told of, but she'd never seen anything like it. The small castle in Arendelle didn't seem to compare to the dark towering stones that lay ahead. 

"We're almost to Winterfell milady." said the elderly woman who had been riding next to the eldest daughter of the House Drif. The young girl looked at the old woman who was her Septa before turning her attention back to Winterfell. "It's larger than you described Brunhilde." she said, as a little awe coated her tone. The old woman let out a small chuckle as she shook her head.

"Well, it's often better to see things in person than to hear stories all day." said an older gentleman came forth with his horse. Crystal blue eyes turned their attention to the man. "Well, I have traveling limitations...I can't see the world like you have." she said with a raised brow as a smirk tugged on soft reddish lips.

"Before we proceed.", Brunhilde began, placing herself back into the conversation, before the captain of Elsa's guards could speak. "Make sure your gloves are on tight, remember what your parents said." she said in a  grave tone and the young woman nodded her head slightly, acknowledging the advice as she looked down at her gloved hands. 

She released the reins of her horse so she could adjust the blue silk that covered her hands making sure her fingers were nice and snug inside. This was a big risk. A risk she shouldn't have had to take, but she had no choice in the matter. When her father fell ill, there was no one left to represent her house. Her mother and her younger sister, Anna had been off to the capital visiting relatives, and so the responsibility of delivering vital news rested upon Elsa's shoulders. 

Her mouth felt dry, and her stomach felt as though there were a nest of wasps inside, however she did her best to maintain her composure. She kept reciting the little mantra in her mind: don't feel, don't feel, don't feel. She couldn't afford to make any mistakes, one slip up and she could get herself and her family in trouble. "Let's not keep our hosts waiting." she finally said before grabbing the reins once more and nudging her horse onward with a soft kick of her heels into the beast's sides. The horse moved onward, and her traveling party followed....

As they drew closer to the large complex it seemed to only grow, which left the girl somewhat intimidated. This was only for a few days, she reminded herself. "Just do what you have to do and be done with it." she mumbled to herself under her breath. 

Then something caught her eye....
