Sweet Crimson

||11||

As I open my eyes I feel a warm fur brush against my legs. I slowly open my eyes and a large ball of fur lay on my legs warming me. It's large and I mean huge with coal black fur. The fur almost sits like a wolf but it's too large. Slowly I widen my eyes in realization. This is a dire wolf. This must be its cave. Slowly I sit up and slide my legs out from its body. Its head raises and looks at me.

I freeze my body planted in the ground in fear. It stands up and nudges my side. I slowly stand up. Realizing just how large it is. It starts walking then stops and looks at me.  It sniffs my side and I stay still as he sniff me. It starts walking again and slowly I step forward following it. It starts walking again and leading me up the ditch and through the dim forest.

" You know I think I shall name you." I say laughing to myself reaching out and petting its back. It leans into my touch. I smile. " I think I'll name you Perzys it fire in mother tounge." it leans on me and looks like its almost smiling.

" I like it Perzy the cruel." I laugh and pet it snack again. As the forest gets less dense and the snow begins to get deeper. I step deeper into the snow stinging and nipping my skin.

" I can't walk any deeper its to cold." I keep moving my legs up and down trying to keep my legs warm. It leans forward slowly I climb on its back and I grab the chunk of it fur. It takes off sprinting into the field and quickly picking up speed. The snow flying past me. As we get over the hill Winterfell comes into full view.

The large stone wall with the large stone contenders. The cool gray wall shining bright with the snow brightening the cool gray walls. In the distance I could hear people yelling.

" Dire wolf prep the cross bows." I look up and see the northern man collect there large crossbows. No. quickly I stand up straight and start waving my arms and yelling.

" No stop don't shoot." I yell looking up at them. They all lower there weapons

" Princess please get off the beast." The guard yelled as he walked though the large archway.

" Hes not beast." I said sliding off of him. Though I do not know its gender I am kind of just assuming it was a boy base off the facial structure, mannerism, and size. Back home I had to study about the different sigels of each house and what they meant about the house. I also learned that male dire wolfs have higher bone structure and more of a stronger more powerful stride compared to a female dire wolf.

Typically female dire wolf don't get as large as males because of the slight difference in there bones structure and need for more nutrients.

" M'lady its a dire wolf. Dire wolfs are unpredictable and dangerous." He raised his crossbow at him.

" If you shoot my Dire wolf I will have your head on a spike faster then you could complain to your Lord stark."

He lower his crossbow. He stepped aside me and Perzy walk thought the gates. Peoples head turn and whispers echo out. Me and Perzy walk though the large arch.

" Perzy Stay here don't walk around to much you might scare the little children." I pet his head then walk back though the arch way and into the courtyard.

I walk though the large wood doors and up the stone steps. The hall door opens and I walk in. Cregan sitting at the table and talking to one of the kings guards.

" Princess were have you been you should be getting fitted for wedding gowns." The guards walks over to me and grabs me hand to be drag me to my room.

" Stop leave her she can get fit here." Cregan stands up and walks to me grabbing my hand from the soldier. The gently grabs my hand and leads me to the table.

" Sit." The pulls up and chair and grabs a glass filling it with ale handing it me.

" Thank you M'Lord." I take the glass taking a sip.

" Please call me Cregan there is not need for the proper wording after all we are to be wed." he sits in the chair the pulled up next to me. The door open and a group of about six women walk in with fabric, sewing materials, and a dress frame.

" Princess remove that dress and change into this." one of women say picking up a small white underdresses. I look around the lord and guards all looking at each other.

" You all are dismissed." Cregan shoosh away all of the men. Once the door shuts and all the men are gone besides Cregan. I stand and begin to undo the dress.It slips down and I take off the undergown. I slip the white gown on.

" Stand on the pedestal." I walk over and stand on it and they began to measure and write down the numbers. One of the women in a much nicer golden dress walks in with two girl dressed in a blue version.

" Have you gotten her measurements." The women in the gold dress says motion to the other women to move.

" Hello Princess Viserra." She bows not looking into my eyes.

" Hello what is your name?" I ask as she stands.

" My name is Lady stella DoMoss. My wedding dress are know all though the seven kingdoms." She turns around with grabs a roll of white fabric and a premade dress. The silver and white dress with silver stars. She places them down on the table and the women pick up the premade dress and puts it on the manikin.

" Let measure your height." She pulls out a measure tape. " Stand nice and tall." I straighten my back and and has someone hold the end by the feet she then pulls it straight up above my head.

" Ok let see about 69 inches which is about 5 feet and 10 inches." She hands off the tape." Girls add about a extra four inches to the bottom of the dress and add another 10 to the vale." She turns and walk out of the room and her girls leaving with her.

" Princess you can go now we are going to add the extensions and then we will get back to you so you can try on the dress." The maids with all the materials. All of the other people following after her.

" ok." I turn around and cross my arms around my chest.

" Here take my cloak." He untie it and throws it over my shoulders.
