The man dropped the bow, took a swift step forward, and brought the handle of his axe down on Joanna's head with a hard crack. The Princess and lady of Runestone crumpled to the ground like a sack of dirt.

"Rope!" he yelled at Aalina, gesturing at the unconscious lady.

"Dont worry girls." She said to the three. She handed the rope to the man silently.

He said, gesturing at Joanna again. Apparently he intended that Aalina tie her mistress up.

As soon as she was done Aalina stood. "Tied." She said simply to him.

"I can not do it myself."

The man ties Aalina tightly, and ignores her statement. Then he grabs the reins in between where Joanna and Aalina's hands are tied, and yanks it hard, which jolts Joanna awake. He ties the middle of the reins to the reins of the other horse, and mounts it. He begins to ride towards the north, at a slow walking pace, although both women are forced to jog to avoid falling. Unsure of what to do, the three young children follow a long behind their mother, holding hands.

"I've never been more degraded in all my life. Even the ride in Kings Landing was not as bad as this. I'm frightened what he will do to us, and what about the girls?"

He didn't seem interested when I offered him money and the only other thing he could possibly want us for..." Joanna shuddered. "It doesn't bear thinking about. I mean, savages!"
