I was nervous too now, the inexperienced sailors kept the small fleet out of pace during the trip. It was night when we arrived at Pyke and clearly late for the feast King Balon was hosting for the Lord Reavers. I didn't even want to know for how long lord Farwyng kept them away from the heat of the battle. The men in my ship were eager to return to the sea, but the folk manning the Lonely Light fleet were clearly nervous. I didn't even know who we were going to fight. I had been able to have 15 longships armed and manned properly, raised the sail of the Howl and started my journey to Pyke. The Kingdom of the Iron Isles is from now on in a state of war. My orders were to raise the banners and set sail for Pyke immediately. Shortly after some days, a raven came from Pyke. Now most of all I needed men that i could trust. I replaced the fools lord Gylbert had placed as his counselors with my own men from my crew. It is without question a very poor place. Reaving had stopped for a while now the Ironborn had left their axes and swords for hoes and shovels. The first few days passed quick.That useless man didn't seem to care event a bit for his holdings.He spent most of his resources for worthless tries of finding new land across the Sunset Sea, deserting the same time his peasants. Its another thing to slay helpless peasants and another thing to rule 'em. Before leaving their seat, Ygon Farwynd, Gylbert's son came to me with a strange smile and said They were already at the port with their ship packed with their stuff, ready to set sail.
But now I had to do that too, I was ordered to. "What am I going to do now?" "How's even a Castle and an island is ruled?" "How the Goodbrother girl is going to look like?"Īll those years 'till my 35th nameday I was a reaver, a warrior, not a Lord. With many questions unanswered in my head i set foot on Lonely Light. Rule that hole of a castle and keep following the Old Ways."īefore i even reach the isolated island, a raven came with a letter bearing the gold-banded black warhorn of the Goodbrothers. But just one thing, what did you want to ask me to do?" We will meet in Pyke soon, ill send you a Raven. Now before you start asking questions and hassle my head, I tell you that: Your job now is to do what you've been told, you will learn the rest in time. He is glad that he is getting rid of another one child to a trustworthy lad. You will marry one of his daughters, but he is going to choose which one. Gorold and Sigfryd agree that this is how things should be. "-What happened to your ears Gromm? do you want me to repeat myself?" At lonely light you will not only escort lord Gylbert and his sons out of the castle. "-Silence Gromm, and Listen to me carefully. "-You are a true Ironborn Gromm, you've served me right for years now. Just before i set sail for my short journey lord Balon came to me. Didn't know why yet, as i wasn't allowed to enter the room lord Balon Greyjoy had the meeting with Gorold Goodbrother and Sigfryd Harlaw announcing them his decision -although it didn't take much time for the reason to be revealed to me. My job was to ensure that he is going leave his castle without any trouble. Lord Balon sent raven to Lord Gylbert about ten days ago informing him that his titles are revoked from now on. From the second the Howl and the part of the Iron Fleet that Lord Balon granted me reach the tiny port of the island, Lonely Light is going to be the Seat of House Bloodshore. Eight days have passed since The Howl set sail from Great Wyk and our eyes saw land for the first time: It's Lonely Light, the island which lies near at end of the world, the Sunset Sea.
