A small smile caressed Cedric's lips before he wiped it away with a sheen of sweat. "I do not ever trust to luck." And he looked up at Stone, "And Lefford earned his death. He nearly fell to pieces at the sight of bloody Alexander."

"It seems all men have their weakness. At least Lord Irwyn managed to kill the Basilisk general." He looked down again at the crossbowman and grimaced. "Did you see the shots being fired at the late Hand?"

"I saw the results." Cedric replied, "Did you?"

He shook his head. "Unfortunately not. I saw the bolts hit him but was too distracted to trace where they came from. All I know is that I haven't seen any of those damned lizards with crossbows."

Cedric nodded, "There are less then five hundred of us left. I am sure those responsible have paid for it with their lives." Looking up to the sun he added, "We should downplay that. Lord Irwyn deserves a heroic death."

"I agree, however I might take a further look into hit." Swiping his hair back, Darien fixed his eyes on Ser Cedric for a moment. "With both Lords Irwyn and Lefford dead, what are we to do next? Who will take command and... where shall we go?"

"Tread carefully, Darien." Cedric replied, "And I am in command now. I rule the West in my nieces name."

Darien nodded. "I hope we get at least a little rest before we resume our attacks on the enemy." Shutting his eyes for a moment he realized that he was still out of breath... and very, very tired. "So, are we going to hunt down the army that hit us today?"

Lords Robb Tarly and Rodney Blackbar enter the battered keep.
"Where is Lord Irwyn?" shouts Blackbar.

Cedric moved down to the two men and bowed, "Lord Irwyn fell in combat. Not before he saved us all."

Darien merely nodded at Cedric's comment.

Tarly nodded, a frown on his face, while Blackbar's eyes widen, and tears crept up.
"How...how could he? How did he die?" asked the man who had raised the Butcher up from a teen.

"In combat with the enemies General. He slew the lizard before succumbing to his wounds"

"Where is his body. I need to see it." The man said, a drip of mucus hanging from the black handlebar mustache.

Cedric added, "He saved us all. Perhaps the whole realm." He nodded to Blackbar, and placed a hand on the man's shoulder.

Hope you all are well and happy.
