"The choices he can make that I can not." Bolton sighed, "Oathbreaker, it is tempting, but then I would not be me. We shall met again soon." He began to walk away.

Talyn wheeled his horse around and rode back to the line with his pages. He dismounted amongst the Sons, and placed his black helm on his head.

Ser Manderly dismounts, and offers Lord Thatcher his sword, "I can only speak for my men ser, but we surrender."

Talyn looked at Manderly as if he wanted to slay him where he stood. He spoke softly,
"Surrender... ser, is good enough to spare your lives. If you expect to keep your lands and titles, His grace will require you to truly bend the knee, and serve him as you ought."

Talyn eyed him with displeasure, "If you can think of a way to take Moat Cailin without force Lord Manderly, I'm very interested in finding one. Perhaps you might be able to persuade your beloved kin to abandon Stark's cause and throw open the gates to us? Otherwise the North has preciously little navy, and would not likely arrive in time to effect the outcome of events with the Ironborn, so I'd question exactly how you'd propose to show your loyalty to your King otherwise."

Talyn nodded his head, "On behalf of King Daemon Targaryen, I accept your words of fealty in the spirit in which they have been given, and look forward to seeing the North renewed in the King's Peace."

The men bowed and stood. "As you command, my lord."

"We march to Moat Cailin," Talyn said, "as soon as the bodies of the dead are properly cared for."

The man nodded, and said, "At once."
