rogar + alyra.
he listens , fingers idly reaching down to touch dark iron earth whilst she speaks , brushing off cold soil between roughened digits . “ i’ve met soothsayers beyond the wall , but … whether any of them had any gifts at all that i don’t know . “ his eyes cut back up to hers . he’s glad this is where he has wandered to , gardens with blackened trees and thorned roses growing round . “ it’s beautiful here . i suppose having to come south has its consolations after all . “
he does not speak of you. rogar likely didn’t mean anything when he commented on the beauty of the garden when he looked her in the eye but her cheeks flushed anyway, even as the little voice in the back of her mind that had nothing to do with her gifts spoke. she dipped her head, disguised it as nodding, and agreed softly, ❛ the south is lovely like the songs claim, but nothing is better than maidenpool at sunset. ❜ the glittering ocean and honeyed sun casting its last rays over pink walls was a sight to behold, one that alyra believed could never be rivaled. it was an unspoken challenge, rooted in a desire to see the most beautiful places in the world, or maybe a desire to be away from the horrors of war. ❛ they have old blood, the freefolk. it would not surprise me for their claims to be true. ❜

sansa + alyra.
𝚜𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚎𝚛. readjusting, existing. sansa isn’t certain she would be as able as she is now without alyra, and for that she is forever grateful. her head turns at the mention of a treat, alyra’d already done enough for the day at hand - a tent with a view, waves crashing & falling in the background, she hadn’t needed more. and yet her smile grows wider at the tray of cakes that appear, gloved hands clasping together as they’re sat onto the table. “ 𝒐𝒉, 𝒂𝒍𝒚𝒓𝒂! ” apparently word of her favoured treat spread quickly, though she wasn’t nearly as easily bought as she once was when it came to lemon sweets. “ you’re far too kind to me, i fear i know not of how i could ever repay you for your presence. ” her hands unclasp, gentle & slow as she reaches out across the table to ghost her fingers over alyra’s hand, “ my brother and i would both be lost without you, you know. ”
alyra does her best and her best will often leave her tired. the world is cruel and vengeful, and the universe is funny only when there is a steep price to pay for it. sansa’s return to the north was one that was jovial and while the soldiers celebrated the return of their princess, alyra saw the trauma that lurked in her eyes and no one should be congratulated for surviving that which made you wish you could die. sometimes the children told her things that seemed of little consequence, showed her visions that she didn’t know what to do with. years ago margaery tyrell had sat sansa stark down, fed her lemon cakes, and called them sisters. alyra made no such bold assumptions. her love for sansa stark was deep, their friendship as important to her as the one she shared with haleya or robb, but declarations of familial bonds were something she was unworthy of.
❛ my presence is not one that requires payment, but i appreciate the thought. ❜ she set the treats on the table between them and gently took sansa’s hand in hers, squeezing gently. ❛ as i would be lost without you both. it is my most sincere privilege to be able to serve the north as i have been allowed to. your companionship is a most wonderful addition to my post. ❜ letting sansa’s hand go, alyra’s eyes fell on the horizon.
❛ your brother’s path is well lit as it stands. ❜ it darkens at the wall. ❛ i imagine that when negotiations finally bring something fruitful into the world, we will return north. ❜

rogar + alyra.
tenebrous crown inclines in grateful nod and he joins her , crossing short distance initially held towards the priestess . slowly , he kneels fore her , cold gaze flicking down to where she was seemingly obscuring her symbols to shield from his sight . “ you are a seer ? “ his tongue crosses his lesser brim , intense eyes slowly moving upward to study her countenance . he would not pretend to know anything of the gods , the old or the new , but if this woman was gifted , if she was a conduit , surely she should be lauded not shunned . his own provenance may have been more hellish than godly , but faith was a powerful and useful thing when wielded by the right hands .
her hands stilled at his question and for the second time in as many days, the question on his tongue is one she’d wish not to answer. she was an acolyte of gods the majority of westeros denied, a mouthpiece for the children of the forests that created them in the first place ( gods aren’t made on their own, someone else spoke them into existence and spoke it long enough until it became true. ) most who saw her thought her crazy, and some who saw her wanted her dead. it was moments like these that made her think about the attempt on her life, about the scar on robb’s side that showed he paid the price, not her. for a moment guilt washed over her and the wind blew a little harder and suddenly it was gone as quickly as it had come. trust came in its place.
❛ i am. ❜ the more she looked at him, the more she wondered if he would think to kill her where she sat. no, she’d decided. a man of the watch wouldn’t harm someone who championed their cause with her king, not after seeing what they’d brought to the summit in the first place. she couldn’t help herself as she elaborated, ❛ as are my sisters. we mootons were gifted by the children of the forest. have you met a seer before ? ❜

attempting to bring comfort to robb was like trying to approach an injured wolf, hard to do and they were likely to snap. she would like to have thought that years of friendship would have made this task easier but it didn’t. every time she tried to do it she felt as though she’d never been successful before. robb deserved to know that he did not have to carry the burden of the north alone but for as long as he wore the crown it would feel that way. he could not split the load, he would not let anyone else break their back for him. robb stark was too noble and good a man for that, and that would one day be his downfall.
survival is the curse of war because no one comes through it the same as they once were – only the dead. but that’s not reassuring to say. she wanted to tell him that it will all be okay, because she has seen it and the children have told her, but what is one reading of a thousand, all saying different things and only one promising happiness ?
❛ i suppose that means we are alive. ❜ alyra told him softly. she wanted to bring him comfort but she could not lie. not to robb. ❛ and that there is still work to be done. ❜

❛ at one time it wasn’t so necessary. ❜ she’s harder now than usual. the strain of the readings finally taking their toll at the end of a long day that never seemed to fully reach a conclusion. the nightmares were frequent now, they were clawing to be heard in her sleep. high stress times like this one always seemed to draw more answers than when they were set up in a camp a hundred miles away from their next battle. taking a deep breath, she fell back onto her bed. ❛ i just want to sleep for more than three hours at a time, without the voices or images trying to come through and bring guidance. i just want peace, if only for a little while. ❜

❛ everyone perceives death differently. ❜ before the war, alyra’s prayers were for a happy life, for clear guidance, the health and safety of her friends and family. they were all the typical things that a young woman was supposed to pray for and now, in the midst of war, they had turned. and she knew exactly the moment when.
alyra could still see it, if she thought on it hard enough, the northerner who had attempted to end the life of the witch of the north, the northerner who had lost his head for stabbing the king who shoved his advisor out of the way. it was that moment that forced her to recognize the truth of her gifts: they were not well accepted and this would not be the first time someone tried to kill her over them. and that was when she started her prayers, for a kind death, a swift one. ❛ i quite like that interpretation, my lord. ❜

a violent storm was building in her chest and she wanted nothing more to unleash the torrent of swirling vitriol on the queen regent. though it did not dissipate when robb placed his hand on alyra’s shoulder, she realized just how deeply her nails had dug into her palms, how tight her upper body was, how stiff the muscles in her legs felt, and she seemed to loosen up ever so slightly. it was not her place to be angry, to throw punches or make snide comments about the other people present at the summit, but in that moment before robb spoke alyra felt as though she might have had the capability to cause another person severe harm. kill was a stretch but maim seemed like something she could do.
❛ you’re right, ❜ she muttered quietly, her hands finally unclenching. two little drops of blood hit the floor, one for each of the living lannister children. cersei will be spared, but the same can’t be said for the two destined to go before her. ❛ please excuse me, my king. ❜

❛ i cannot speak for others but in my defense i am unable to stop the readings from coming. ❜ she can’t help her laughter at what he said. other women might have been offended, distraught at the idea of being accused of gossip, but alyra only found amusement brimming inside her. ❛ blame those who bring me the readings, the old gods of the forest and the children who worship them. ❜
resting her head on his shoulder, alyra felt a wave of calm rush through her. the readings were coming with strange regularity now, a few times a day. some were more prominent than others, while some came in the company of select people. the norrey were connected to the old gods and the children rewarded that, in their own way. ❛ they say your mother’s laughter is as strong as ever, that she sings the songs of the old gods to the little children. ❜

❛ i feel like you’re saying that because you dislike any place south of the neck. ❜ alyra told him, a bit of a smirk on her face at the thought. brandon was allowed to feel that way, of course, but she couldn’t help but be defensive of the riverlands. she wanted to joke, to lighten the mood, to find the silver lining, but every passing day made dragonstone feel like a death sentence, like a firm grip wrapping tighter around her throat until she was begging for mercy and couldn’t get the words out. ❛ it’s not all bad. the lemon cakes are nice, and the some of the people could be worse. ❜

there were things that alyra had heard throughout her time on the warfront, enough things for her to believe that nothing could truly shock her any further. the walkers had been a turn for the worst but something that her readings had been skirting around for at least a few months ( she would have to return to maidenpool and read the journals of her childhood for any reference before now ). even with the end of days being proclaimed at dragonstone, alyra felt comfortable that she heard it all. and then aryan stark spoke.
even if you had offered her all of her deepest desires filled, alyra could not have accurately described her facial expression at arya’s cavalier comment. shock, horror, mild disgust, even milder indications of being impressed, all of these swirled into a cocktail that alyra had no capability to describe even if she wanted to. ❛ i must say, general, that’s quite… is impressive the right word to use here ? ❜

there is something horrific about being seen, regardless of the details of one’s life. as someone who has made countless sacrifices in the name of saving lives, alyra couldn’t help but feel as though derran had seen something that he certainly should not have. the pseudo witching table drawn in the dirt was one thing, something perhaps explained away as boredom in the gardens. but if he was implying what she thought he might be, then she was almost certainly going to be put to the sword for her actions. robb knew only as much as he needed to, even brandon didn’t have a full sense of the way alyra got all of her answers. for now, though, she would swallow her fears and play dumb. surely it couldn’t be all that hard, brandon did it all the time. ❛ that they do, lord drumm. war is full of them. ❜

❛ is that why you don’t talk about yours ? ❜ the words fly faster than she can stop them and the regret is evident in the way she gasped, how her hands flew up to her face to cover her mouth, the way her eyes widened with guilt. she saw his family when she saw him, especially the first time. the skin of his neck was peeling, like someone had started to flay him but didn’t complete the job. he was a handsome man, regardless of his family ties, but alyra was well aware of the boltons and their betrayals of the stark family. but rogar seemed different. she liked different.

❛ unfortunately, war is not the time to be selfish. ❜ alyra had too many duties to fulfill to be able to take time for herself. her primary task in divining the future wasn’t exactly a job that allowed one to relax. there were some days where the world felt like it was crashing down, where alyra felt as though she wasn’t allowed to continue to breathe. those were the worst moments of them all and it wasn’t until the words hung in the air longer than they should have without follow up, alyra swallowed thickly and said, ❛ i appreciate what you’re saying beth, i do. but i do not have the time today. perhaps tomorrow might be better. ❜ tomorrow would, more than likely, be much the same as today.

i did know you. that was the first thing that came to mind and thank the gods alyra stopped herself from saying it. i did know you. what a weight that had to it, a sense of finality that she didn’t want to catapult into their lives. she was so different know, the maid of maidenpool, and she wanted nothing more than to find the parts of that little girl who existed and stitch them all back together. she wanted to reach out to asha, to pull her back in, to enjoy the closeness that they once shared, and every time she thought about extending a hand, a hundred miles seemed to separate them in every direction and way. now, in front of her, alyra couldn’t help but smile. she wanted to know asha. this was a good reintroduction. ❛ then which rule shall we break first ? ❜
