Dhaenys's of view
"My queen what ever are you doing?" Marlin asked coming closer to my desk that held around 30 letters, all sealed and ready for the ravens to take. Letters that held important information from the great houses that were to pledge for me.
"Writing letters to the high lords of the realm. Others must know of what has recently happened in Rook's rest and that it's a matter of time before it happens to them. Aemond is most centrally to be crown once his army is back to Kings landing. And once his dragon recovers he will be back to to burning castles to the ground. Here have these sent out for me Marlin. Has Sara sent hers?" I was most concerned with what Sara was to say over the matter and what was she yo inform her brother.
"Yes as soon as we arrived she asked for a raven. She was angry at the situation yet instead of asking for leave she asked for a sword. My queen, it isn't my place to ask yet... do you trust her?" Marlin's question was valid. After all this time I didn't quite understand why the northern girl wanted to be here, but after all this journey I didn't see why she was not worth trusting.
"She is as worthy of trust as you and I are. We are here home, within family. Your father will arrive today and my grandparents are here counseling me as best as they can. While she is here with only us to look out for her. I believe that is very brave of her and as such she deserves more than trust. I know you both are not best mates, but just try to understand her. That is all I ask my dear friend." I turned towards her handing her my letters and looking her eye yo eye. "Just believe in me."
"Of course my queen. Shawl I call Sara to dress you for today's meeting?" Marlin placed my letters close to her chest as she was about made her leave.
"Yes if you could. You just worry about sending those letters for me. I want you to have time to visit your father when he arrives at the harbor, not to worry about the rest." I send Marlin in her merry way and then a few minutes later came in Sara running into the room a smile over her face.
"Dhaenys! Dhaenys!" Dhae!!!" Sara came in with a later of her own in hand jumping up and down starting me.
"What is it Sara?" I asked with Sara grabbing my hands and making me jump up and down with her.
"Cregan is to come south our way. I might have exaggerated my story about being locked up, but it was all worth it. He agreed to back your claim, and to allow me to fight at your side. Isn't this great news." Sara seemed more than pleased with herself enjoying her accomplishment.
"That is wonderful news Sara. However you didn't need to exaggerate anything you both were held captive against your will, and who knows what would have happened if not for your own escape. I am happy to hear he is at our side. Cregan is to be a good ally. However regarding you in battle that is another story." I let go and crossed my arms knowing that this was an idea she had come up all by herself.
