Rori waited patiently on the cold beach within a fjord high in the North, he didn't mind the small flakes that fell down despite the ocean's presence. Infact, he welcomed the snow. He sat on a low black rock, his great sword plunged ito the black sand and ice at his side as he stared intently down the shore inland. The Starks had invited him to winterfell but there was no way in the Seven Hells he would leave his Kracken behind.. So he had invited them to shove Ice up somewhere rather inappropriate and come take a walk on the beach.

His army was camped behind him, gruff Ironborn voices laughing, speaking, fighting. He was a bastard... But these were his men. He was hailed as their king despite being just the heir in truth. He had given them intelligence... And made the Ironborn nearly invincable an more feared than ever before... He was on 15 years old, but he looked about 18 due to his size and build.

He was dressed in simple clothing, his hand gripping the greatsword's hilt while his other hand hung on his knee. His pitch black hair whipped around his storm grey eyes and his pale skin seemed whiter than ever... There were so many horrible rumors about the Kracken Conquerer... Some said he had ripped out a soldiers eye when the bastard boy had been taken from his home and killed that same man in revenge for killing a servant. Some said he dove straight into the ocean to fight the kracken and beat it into his submission with his bare hands. Some said he was merciful to his servants and secretly helped slaves in the Iron Salt Mines escape... Who knew?

A single ship sailed into their port, princess Colene being their prized passenger. She was fabled among the lands, most believed she didn't even exist, because as a child until the year before she was very sickly and was not let out of her room in the castle, her only companions being her sister Ferin every blue moon and her two hands Carter and Cei.

The fables of her were known for her being the most dazzling being to ever walk the face of the earth, that upon sight a man could falter his love for his wife, and at a single glance into her ice blue eyes Nightwalkers would bow.

She stands at the bow of the ship her hand Cei at her side, her hand in his as they take the steps down to get to shore. Her long jet black hair done back into a beautiful braid with light blue roses scattered down the thick twinning. Her dress as well that same ice blue, all matching her eyes. She had a posture that set an authoritative tone about her, she knew why she was here, she didn't like it at all, but she knew what she had to do.

She took a deep breath before the boat was pulled onto shore. She held her handkerchief over her mouth and closed her eyes. One of the young female servants skipped over to her,"princess, we are here" she said happily though for Colene this was practically death. She grabbed the reins to her large black stallion and walked him off the ship and onto the sand.

Before she said anything she looked across the legion of men in front of her. She was not surprised to see most of them gawking at her and the rest chatting amongst themselves about who wishes to 'have their way with her'. She merely ignored them and stood tall as she spoke, loud enough for the front line to hear, "which of you is Rori?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" I am," His voice rang clearly across the beach and immediately the camp fell silent out of both respect and fear. The boy looks up at her with cold eyes, he was not impressed by her beauty because he knew that vipers could hide beneath beautiful skins. He glared at her but said nothing more... He was no more fonder of the Starks than any other Iron Born.

It was still a suprise to all of Westeros that he had decided to side with the Starks... But the reason the proncess had been sent was to basically thank him for protecting the coast from the Lannister fleet that had circled the whole south end of the continent and nearly attacked Winterfell straight on by suprise... Only to be stopped at the Iron Islands

[Етеяиiту]

She kept her chin up and her grip tight on her jittery stallion,"I am princess Colene Stark, my father sent me as a bind between our families, to be set in stone by marriage" she said before, as she had been commanded bowed slightly, not to show submission but to show respect.

Her hand, a boy scampered up to her side and bowed to him, he was the only servant she needed and the only servant she wanted.

She was kind, sweet, and fragile, but she looked strong and firmly authoritative, not because she wanted to, but because her father had commanded her to do so. She would never seek this fate on her own and if it were her choice she would leave as quick as a snap, but, her family would not appreciate that at all.

So despite her instincts to growl and demand power or submit while whimpering she stood tall, a brave and worthy gift to the Iron born prince.

However, while all this raced through her mind not a flicker of emotion showed on her face, her pure pale skin soft against the harsh beachy winds and her full red lips tantalizing to the touch. Not a single wavering motion or gaze that showed anything but stone, cold stone, that stayed strong.

[CrimsonMoon]

"..." Rori merely stared at her when the first of the laughter rises up from the Greyjoy camp, setting off a wave of confusion from the Stark entourage. Rori stands and yanks the sword from the ground, walking toward them... Huge black tentacles reach from the see and slide around him... Kracken Conquerer.

" I don't need another demanding woman in my life, I have a mother and a little sister, my big half-brother ranks with them... So is this truely a gift or just another anchor?" He asks over the gruff laughter, not even sporting a shadow of a smile

[Етеяиiту]

She did not flinch, she was used to stuck up brats like these, her siblings, other than her sister were all spoiled rotten and she knew how to set them in their place, though she had never been in this situation before so she closed her eyes and thought a moment.

What seemed like a mere second to them allowed her hours, she pondered what to do, what to do then let on a small smile on her rosy lips,"as a matter of fact I am not your mother nor your sister and I do not intend to act like them, if you do not wish me to," she started smoothly, "I do not much care for titles, you can call me as you wish but i am merely a gift, you can receive with warm welcome or deny and hurt the sender, whichever you chose does not effect me so much as where I will live out my days."

[CrimsonMoon]

He approached her horse, spitting in disgust efore grabbing her horse's reign but somehow managing to keep the beast still with a single movement," I do not take people as 'gifts', I do not follow the old rules of marrying into another family, you may go home now," he looks her straight in the eye... There was mothing spoiled there, but something resembling a stone wall... Unmoving, unfeeling, unwilling to crumble to the old winds.

His gaze softens suddenly," I don't appreciate being offered human beings... I'd rather take a horse or maybe a pig." He glances at the tentacles as they reared threateningly and smiles fondly

[Етеяиiту]

The horse reared and kicked him in the jaw when he grabbed the reigns. She snatched them from him and calmed the horse. She had hoped he would not do that, for this horse would be useless without her. She raised it since it was born after its mother died and it trusts no one but her.

She moved in front of Rori as if to protect and held up her hands to show the horse it was her then, holding the reigns she backed the horse away from him, expecting the worse as she turned to look at him.

[CrimsonMoon]

Rori flinches and steps away quickly, he drops his sword and the tentacles rip toward the horse until he roars," ENOUGH!"... The Kracken moans fro somewhere out at sea as if annoyed but slowly the limbs retreat into the water again.

He moves his jaw experimentally and rubs it, wincing when finding the split skin... He sees her looking and smiles," Now you know," he muses

[Етеяиiту]

She did not flinch though,"i apologize for this horse but you see it is not a gift, this horse will not accept anyone as its rider except me, and if that was supposed to scare me you have failed, but as you wish I will leave" she said her eyes flickering slightly to the boat then back at him,"farewell" she said as she began leading the horse back onto the boat.

Colene had expected a slap for her horses wrongdoing, but in his eyes she had seen nothing to show he would do that, even if he had she would not waver, she had been slapped by her father plenty, and her body now was much stronger than it used to be.

[CrimsonMoon]

" If you are headed up river, I can get Kracken to pull you against the current," he calls softly, seeming not to mind his bleeding jaw all that much. He was a little annoyed she hadn't listened... He wouldn't accept human gifts... What was so hard to understand? Why would he want her horse?

[Етеяиiту]

She politely declined,"we do not require assistance." She said simply, she would not owe him more, her father would probably kill her for this, not being able to marry, it was the only reason she had been sent and when her father wanted something, if he didn't get it he threw a fit.

The hand following Colene scurried down to the sand and to him, bowed, and then spoke very quickly,"please take the gift of this princess, think of it as a contract"

Colene flared, this hand she really couldn't get mad at so she called to him," Cei. We do not require his acceptance, lets go"

And with a sad, defeated look the hand scampered back up to the princess who guided her horse down to the stable.

[CrimsonMoon]

Rori suddenly calls out," What will happen when you go back?" He asks," will you be punished?"

[Етеяиiту]

She froze,"why does it matter?" She called back from a top the ship. She gazed down at him from the bow of the ship, Cei standing behind her. As if he were practically glued to the air behind her.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Because i'm not one to let a beautifu l young lady get punished for such a minor reason." He crosses his arms and gazes up at her

[Етеяиiту]

"What happens to me after this meeting should be none of your concern unless you have accepted, but since you have decided against that you should not care at this point" she said, her free hairs whipping aroun her face.

[CrimsonMoon]

He sighs and murmurs," You may stay with me but i will not accept your request yet," He stands his ground, starin up at her," Besides, your father is probably regretting sending his daughter to a bastard."

[Етеяиiту]

She shook her head,"a bastard is just a titale, i do not care what he has to say about that" she said guiding her horse back down the ramp cei following with his own.

She walked up to him and narrowed her eyes slightly, skeptically,"why do you fight?" She mumbled to herself before hopping on her horse and holding his reigns tightly.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Because it's my nature," He replies simply," Our nature," he nods toward the Camp where several hundred Iron Born had gathered to watch their beloved Brother...

[Етеяиiту]

"No, not like that," she rolled her eyes,"anyway i didnt mean to say that aloud." She trotted across the front line of the ranks looking across all the men with her ice cold gaze.

One of the men within the ranks stepped up to Ronin, a well trusted knight of theirs,"Ronin, what do you plan to do with her?" He whispered to him.
