"And you see no problem with that? Nothing occurs to you about the prophecy I just recounted to you." Saella asked.

"With every step embers will alight a garden, winds will blow with rage, mountains will shift with tremors, and the sea will boil red." She paused letting him absorb her words, "Could that not be some kind of dragon attack. What if King Rickon sets Westeros afire with my dragons? Or attempts to?"

"You have no depth perception, cuz." Saella looked at him, and a slight frown creased her lips. "You have bannermen, correct? What would you do, if a man who was sworn to you, who you did not know, who you did not trust, had a force three times the size of your own."

Saella looked at Brynden, "If the man was unmarried with no daughter. If the man told you his forces are loyal only to him, and would never serve you. What would be your next step?"

"If you can not even get your sword from Cedric, how can you protect me from him." Saella shook her head. "The two of you do not even fight in the same arena." She looked over her shoulder at Sami, "A dinner for two. When you have a moment."

Saella nodded, "I would not recommend returning the sword to the King. He is not the forgiving sort. Honor is not a weakness, but cunning is not a weakness either. And you should not expect Cedric Lannister to act as you wish him too."

Saella said slowly, "The stars rise as the son of the dark sister finds his fate along the blade of dragon's kin. With black steel the wielder will shine a torch light on the fate of lizards and men." The sound of Sami preparing a dinner could be heard outside of the Stone House.

"It means you have a deep bind to the sword in your hand, Brynden." Saella replied, "It means that you and that sword have an important role to play in the war to come."

Saella looked at Brynden, "That is probably exactly what Lord Bettley wished, as to why... I do not know." Sami brought out a pitcher of milk and place two mugs infront of each of them.

Saella looked at him and said, "Have you ever felt close to your mother when holding that blade? Throwing it away, will cut a link between you and Aranya. A part her still resides in Dark Sister."

Saella looked at him and asked, "How exactly do you expect your sword to select you?"

Saella sighed and shook her head, "I am not returning to King's Landing. Not yet."
