Godswood of Raventree Hall

[Horas]

Lord Warren Blackwood enters the Godswood, looking for his squire, William Tyrell.

William is sitting looking at a tree with a face on it. Raider is next to him. The direwolf head looks at Warren then puts his head back down. William turns and looks his master in the face, "It seems you pass Raiders test."

[Horas]

Warren smiles at William's boldness. "He is a creature from the north. A creature of the Old Gods. I am sure he likes this place."

Warren sits down next to William. "There may be battle soon, William. You will ride by my side, fight by my side. You may even have to kill. If you are not ready to do that, tell me now. There is no shame or dishonor in it. But once you are on the battlefield there is no running away."

William smiles, "I am the son of the Dawn Raider. My father is a man who lusts after war almost as much as he lust for my mother. I am of the blood of the Starks of the North." Raising his head William looks through the forest, "They held honor above all else. I am sworn to you Warren and I will follow you."

[Horas]

Warren smiles, staring into the eyes of the great Heart Tree.

"I am glad to hear it, William."

"But I am lacking a few things for War. Mainly a warriors sword, shield, armor."
