Ours The Fury ~ Game of thrones

S E V E N

ASHER'S POV

        A month ago I got a raven saying that the king is sending a few trusted lords to make allies and peace with us. I wasn't so sure about the peace thing. The Lannisters were not to be trusted, I wasn't sure if the Starks were to be trusted. The people here were acting as if I was a king or something but I'm not.

"    The people the king sent are here, my lord." A guard says and I nod. "Send them in." I order as I sit down, Lisa was by my side and so was some of the other lords, but they sat in lower chairs all of them accept me... Then, the doors open and my eyes widened as a girl walked inside, with Stark men with her, she was beautiful... Black hair and icy blue eyes... Just like mine.

CASSIA'S POV

           As I enter the hall, I saw them, the many lords of the vale but at the highest chair was him; Asher Arryn, he had black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing an Arryn cloak that I was almost sure that I saw Jon Arryn wear in Kingslanding whilst I was living there. "State your names." He orders us, I kneel making the other's with me kneel also. "I'm Cassia Baratheon, daughter of Robert Baratheon." I greet, Jon goes next. "I'm Jon Snow, bastard son of Eddard Stark, here to protect the princess."

            "Why is it you have come here?" A woman asks me sternly "and who might you be?" I ask mimicking the same stern look and voice she had. "Lisa Tully, widow of Jon Arryn. Watch your tongue girl!" She says angrily then Lord Asher shushes her. "I have come to make peace, the king had thought your letter was a threat. You're lucky that I calmed him about it." I explain getting a bit annoyed.

            "Why should we trust you, Jon Arryn was murdered by the Lannisters!" Lord Asher says standing, I look at Jon and Abel; all three of us had heard the rumors. "There is no proof, Lord Asher." Jon explains, "I would never side with the Lannisters, neither would Lady Cassia. We need proof before we could ever make claims." Asher stares at him as if he is in deep thought about us. Then, Lady Lisa stands up angrily.

               "My husband was poisoned! Isn't that proof enough?" Lisa asks raising her voice even more. "My deepest apologies milady, but we must come to terms here." Jon explains and Asher seemed to have had enough. "ENOUGH ALL OF YOU!" He yells slamming his fist. The whole room went silent. He stood and walked up to us, when he got closer to me, Jon stood in front of me; I knew Legolas was protective over me. He always was. I gesture him to step back and he gives me a pleading look but complies. I walk up to Asher.

        "You don't scare me. Men have always longed to have me be afraid of them. But, I'm not. People say you are one of the best swordsmen in the realms. I bet you have never heard of me, I'm not scared to cut men down, so, try me Asher Arryn." I say in a threatening and taunting way though it was a bit of a lie, Ramsay scared the hell of me, he grins and backs off. "There is no need for a fight. You want to make peace. Let's do so. But, you all must be tired from your travel. Lady Tully, show our guests where they can stay." He orders and Lisa nods obediently.

ASHER'S POV

      I was impressed by my sister, she was very brave and she challenged me, I was half tempted to actually agree to it to see her fighting skills. "Why are you tolerating that girl, my lord? She threatened you." Sir Terrin asks, I turn to him; he wouldn't understand. "Because we don't need to enemies of the Baratheon house." I explain, he nods.

         I go out to the garden, I stare out at the sky. If I told my father who I was I would be the heir to the Iron Throne but instead... I'm Lord of the Vale and people here treat me as if I'm a king. I was brought out of my thoughts by footsteps; I turn and see a girl, she had dark blond hair, she had dark brown eyes and light skin. "Excuse me, my lady. But, who are you?" I ask her, she looks up at me and smiles at me.

          "I'm Katerina Piper, my lord. I came here to deliver fruits to the Vale." Katerina says bowing her head at me and I smile. She is very beautiful... "I haven't seen you here before Lady Katerina, I must say you do stand out. I'm not sure how I haven't noticed you." Her chees redden and she laughs nervously. "My lord, I must go. I have to get going back to Pinkmaiden, my father is waiting." She explains and I nod. "Of course, my lady. I understand. Come visit any time you like."

           The next day, I'm meeting with Cassia and her men again, I want to be allies with her but I must think about my people for now. I sit down in my seat, as the door opens, Cassia enters, the Bastard; Jon at her side. "Lady Cassia, I hope you slept well." I greet kindly, she just stared me down. She seemed impatient. "We are not threats to your people. I promise, I do not trust the Lannisters. I may be blood with them but I would never to trust them." Cassia explains I look at the others, they don't look convinced. "How do we know that? Your mother is Cersei Lannister. Your grandfather is Tywin Lannister." Lysa asks coldly which that is a good point. Except that I am the grandson of Tywin Lannister and no one knows it.

            "My mother is a monster! She ruined people's lives! She ruined mine! I would never be allies with that cunt!" She curses and the whole room goes silent, I smirk; I was right. I stood and I walked near them. "We will be allies for now, my lady. But, we hear one thing we don't like and we are not allies anymore. House Baratheon, House Stark; are now allies with the Vale for now."
