    Summary

    He is suddenly thrown back to that terrible moment at Ashford Meadow when Baelor had collapsed against him, blood gushing from that awful wound to the back of his head. Dunk had thought him dead, then, pleading to any who would hear him for forgiveness, that he had not meant for a prince to die just so that he might keep his hand. But the wound had not been fatal, as grievous as it was, and when finally Baelor awoke nearly a week later, he had refused Dunk’s apologies, throwing his own words back in his face. Does not every knight make the same oath? To protect the innocent?

    Dunk had never fully rid himself of his guilt over the trial, even all these years later. Baelor may have forgiven him for putting him in harm's way, but he could not forgive himself so easily. And now, he is frantic as he searches for any sign of life in his king, for he has sworn countless oaths to him and to have failed him now… He would beg the Stranger to take him as well.

    Summary

    Dunk turned round in his saddle. Baelor— Prince Baelor— and Princess Daenerys had come up behind them. "You can really do all that?" he asked.

    Before the impertinence of the question could catch up to him and make him blush again, Prince Nymor said, "Oh yes, Uncle Baelor's quite the terror in the saddle. Of course it helps him to have a sturdy mount, one who can... handle him." Nymor's horse tossed its head as if agreeing. "He's not as young as he once was, after all."

    Summary

    The stairwell is chilly and quiet. Neither speaks and Dunk’s heart pounds in his ears. He wonders if Lyonel can hear it, echoing off the cold, dark stone. Up and up they go, higher into the tower. and Dunk wonders if they’re going to the roof so Lyonel can throw him off into the sea. He wonders if it would hurt to hit the waves, or if he would die on impact. Were I a bird or a fish, this would not be a problem, as I would just fly or swim away. Were Egg a dragon, he would catch me.

    Summary

    It’s a small enough thing, the Baratheon stag engraved into the lid. It had perhaps been locked once, but the salty sea air of Storm’s End softens most wood after enough years, and the latch tears clean out when he gives it a good pull. Old too, then. Inside is another bundle of parchment, neatly folded and tied with fraying twine.

    More damned papers, he thinks for a disappointed moment, nearly shutting it again- what a waste this whole venture had been. But these do not look like more records. There is something personal in how they have been handled and hidden away, and Renly begins picking at the twine with curious fingers. When it falls away, he unfolds the first sheet, and finds a letter.

    Milord Lyonel, it begins.

    [Renly Baratheon, young and full of confusing feelings, discovers that he may not be as alone as he believes.]
