Jon was sitting in the great hall of White Harbor, when his cousin, Ser Roose Manderly, arrived telling him of three mercenary ships raiding the Bite.
"Call Daario." was the first thing the lord of White Harbor said before he ran to the strategy room. After a few minutes of studying a map of Westeros, Ser Daario and Ser Roose arrived to the room
"My lord." Daario said and bowed
"There is no time for courtesies. Roose, where were these ships spotted?" Jon asked impatiently
"Here." said Roose and showed at the map, on the area between the Three Sisters and White Harbor.
"We must act. Ten ships I say. I don't care if someone calls it unfair because we have ten and they three. I think you know the strategy." explained jon
"We do." said Daario and looked at Roose "We kill all the man, do no damage to the ships and capture them."
"Exactly. Roose, mass the men, Daario prepare the ships and I will ready myself for the battle." Jon raised from his seat and left the room."

Jon was already getting bored, as they were searching for the ships for quite a few hours now. He was thirsty for a battle and just thought of going away, when he saw three ships on the horizon.
"There they are, sail faster!" he yelled to his sailors.
As the ten White Harbor ships went closer and closer to the mercenaries, the three ships turned around and sailed quite fast. Soon, the ships were in a bay, surrounded by cliffs and quickly turned around, facing the Manderly fleet. They covered the ten ships with arrows, clouding the sun.
The left hip of the Manderly fleet, lead by Ser Daario formed a half-circle around the enemies, throwing ropes with hooks over to one of the ships. When the hooks were set firmly on the ship, Daario's part of the fleet moved closer and closer and men started to swing over to the enemy ship, slaying the sellsails. Daario jumped over to the deck of the enemy ship as well and pulled out his golden arakh, that in few minutes time became crimson. He slayed all that was in his way.
On the left wing of the fleet, Ser Roose saw Daario's maneuver and did the same on his side. His men took out their crossbows and covered their enemies with poisoned bolts. Roose's men took a ladder with hooks on it's tips and threw it over to the other ship. Ser Roose quickly ran over to the enemy ship, together with most of his men. He pulled out his sword and ran to the captain of the ship. The captain took out his sword as well, a long and thin blade.
Waterdancer was the first thought that crossed Roose's mind when the man started fighting. His moves were quick, but Roose's weren't any slower. Even though the enemy wanted to lead the dance, Roose didn't allow him and fought him over to the very edge of the ship. The waterdancing captain disarmed Roose, but the Manderly knight kicked him i the crotch and pushed him off deck.
In the middle of this all, a fierce battle was lead between the lord of White Harbor and the commander of these three ships. They were both good swordsmen, but the commander was a slight bit better and he pushed Manderly to the floor. When Jon was down, the man wanted to deliver his final blow, but Jon lifted his leg and kicked the man in the crotch. The men fell and his sword fell out from his hand, so Jon took it and struck it deep in the man's stomach.
When he got up, he saw that both other ships already waved the Manderly banner and realized that he won another battle.
