As the fighting became more fearsome William fell back into the basic cutting and slashing his father had taught him since he was a small child. Raider was at his side the Direwolf now a great beast loved to hamstring men or simple jump onto there chest to give William an easy stab for the mans arm pit.
Another man in a gold cloak charged the William. Raising his shield the blade sunk deep into the wood. Too deep as the man tried to take his sword back out but was unable. With a powerful thrust William's sword went through the mail and into the mans heart. As the man fell down dying as his body craved fresh blood William felt no hatred for the man. In fact the young man was saddened that he had to kill so many people.
Suddenly William thought that something was different. Then he noticed the all to familiar laughing of Bane is gone. Looking over in a break in fighting William sees the faithful Karstark man fall with three arrows in his chest. Williams face hardens and he fights on.
Suddenly more Stormlanders came into the street and William sees his father order the Golden Roses to pull back. Raider is less then impressed at being forced back but with a harsh word from William the great wolf comes running.
As the remaining men stood above the gate in a newly cleared area of Wall and looked at the carnage. Tallahar had removed his helm and tears were visible on his cheeks, "Father?"
Tallahar looked at William. His arms wore ached from fighting and though he would tell no one his chest wound hurt dreadfully, "He's dead William dead."
"Who?" William was confused as to who could bring his father the Dawn Raider to tears.
"Your Uncle William. Rindwynd he's dead." Tallahar's head bowed again.
"Oh Seven Hells. What about Aegon?"
"He's alive hes being checked on now by Garet. He took a cut to the face but the boys a Tyrell he will survive."
William nodded, "I killed to many men today father. I can't even remember there faces."
"It never ends William." Suddenly Tallahar looked to William again, "I think it's time. Kneel William."
As William knelt he hard his father take up his blade. "William Tyrell son of Tallahar Tyrell and Haley Karstark. Do you swear that you shall never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie , cheat or steal. These are things for lesser men. Will you Protect the weak against the evil strong.And never allow thoughts of gain lead you into the pursuit of evil. Do you swear it William."
William looked up, "I swear it."
With a slap to the face, "Thats so you don't forget it. Arise Ser William Tyrell."
William stood and nodded to his father. "What was that?"
"That is the Dawnrose Oath. I will say it to your brothers when they take there spurs and you shall say it to your children. We will forever be servants to House Tyrell and the Mander. Do you understand William."
"I do Father I do."
